Hi everyone.
I got a MacBook Pro for Christmas and am still trying to figure a few things out so I am just looking for some advice about something.
I have an external hard drive that I can plug into my tv and watch movies from. So I used to use this a lot with my old pc as an external hard drive and plugged into my ya to watch all my movie/tv shows. Most of the files are Avi files.
So I realised that the hard drive is only formatted to windows so did a bit of research online and reformatted to fat32 (I think). But now I cannot use it as a media player just as a hard drive.
Basically I am wondering if there is a hard drive / media player that I can buy that is specifically for mac? And use it the exact same way I used to use my current one with my pc. Adding new files and watching on tv, simple. I would prefer to buy a new hard drive than have to do some more reformatting and things like that as I amnt the most techie person.
Any help or advice would be great.
Thanks
