[QUOTE="Deadmac, post: 1349342, member: 231638"] What's on my Mac iBrothers and iSisters, I've just got a new iMac, never used iMac's before, never even owned a Mac, much to my regret as they are awesome. However, I used to use BitLocker on Windows, and now I've moved to OSX, I've found out BitLocker doesn't work with Mac, and wanted some sort of encryption. I've been reading up on FileVault, and it seems a good thing to enable, however, what's the difference between Bitlocker & FileVault, does Filevault require a password to login to your encrypted HDD? or does it just recognise the iMac? Also; is there any BitLocker READER out there for Mac. Not worried about encrypting things in BitLocker, just my 1TB External HDD is encrypted and before I sold my old Windows PC, I completely forgot to decrypt it. :( If anyone knows anything, give me a shout. Thanks! -DeadMac [/QUOTE]
