Hi all,

Hope this is the right news group.

A friend of mine has a Mac computer and she wants to give me some
photo's. Too many to mail. So I took mu USB stick to her and connected
it with her Mac. It was located but she was not able to copy anything to
it. Nothing happened.
Later on I realized the stick was formatted as a NTSF drive, so the Mac
computer did obviously not know how to handle this.
Wich type of format should I use to make this stick working with the Mac?

Thanks in advance.

1. The Mac newsgroup would be either
comp.sys.mac.system
or comp.sys.mac.misc

2. Standard MacOS X can read, but not write NTFS drives.
You can install a third-party add-on that will allow
MacOS X to write to the drives ... but you either have
to buy a commercial product or do a messy install of a
free add-on which isn't really recommended unless you
really know what you're doing.

3. The easiest option is to just use a USB drive formatted
as Windows FAT / FAT32 instead - MacOS X can read and
write to that easily. You can re-format the drive (copy
anything you want off it first!!) in Windows or by using
Disk Utility on the Mac.

4. Other options could be:
- upload them to somewhere like iCloud, DropBox, etc.
and then email a shared link.
- transfer the photos to a portable device (mobile
phone, tablet), but getting the two to connect may be
just as complicated as trying to use NTFS
- burn them to a CD/DVD, but that requires both
computers to have a CD/DVD drive, which is becoming
rare theses days (no Mac ships with one built-in).
- the "old-fashioned" way: print the photos.

Thanks. I already found comp.sys.mac.misc.

OK. I will reformat the stick with FAT 32.

That's too complicated. But with the reformatted stick ik will work now.
Thanks!
