How To Enable NTFS On The Mac

Someone in your family or a good friend has just brought a brand new shiny Mac and has attempted to hook up their USB hard drive full of multi-media goodness when ... *BA DA*!!! The drive doesn't show up and you get a frantic phone call. Whatcha gonna do?

Point them at Macfuse and (hopefully) the problem should just disappear.

EDIT: You'll also have to install NTFS-3G for Mac OS X

  1. I think I can recall doing this when in Melbourne with Liz and Andrew. "Hey Bob, How Can We Get This USB Hard Drive To Talk To The Mac?"
