hi, i am a complete beginner and know very little about macs and computers in general so need lots of help!!!
i just bought a new macbook pro and i transferred all of my photos from my old laptop to an external hard drive. when i tried to edit the photos i could see them all but couldn't save to the hard drive or make any changes or anything?
i googled this problem and installed the following:
You need a couple of pieces of software to make it and its all free too
the first is MacFuse:
http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/down...
just download whatever the latest release is and install using the instructions
After you've done that then download NTFS-3G which is at
http://www.tuxera.com/mac/ntfs-3g-201...
You should now be able to read and write to any ntfs drive without a problem
then i got all sorts of problems!! my mac book won't even recognise my external hard drive anymore. i tried to uninstall the two programmes but i don't really know how to do that so i don't think its completely gone from my macbook because when i plug in my hard drive it comes up with the following error...
NTFS-3G could not mount /dev/disk1s1
at /Volumes/Expansion Drive because the following problem occurred:
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libfuse.2.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g
Reason: image not found
So basically what I'm asking is the following:
how do i get rid of these two programmes completely?
and how do i access my photos and be able to make changes to them?
thanks guys
