[QUOTE="rockeastwood, post: 788220, member: 82075"] Hi Mac brethren! :) If someone is willing to guide me I would greatly appreciate it. I purchased the [URL="http://www.iomega.com/about/prreleases/2008/042308_screenplay.html"]Iomega screenplay HD 500GB[/URL] thinking everything would go smooth with watching movie on my TV by just connecting this cool little device after movie compatible movie files to it. Boy was I wrong!:[ 1st off I am fairly new to mac. In fact I bought my iMAC about 2 months ago so ya, I am still a rookie. Anywho, apparently MAC does not work with NTSC so I scouted out [URL="https://iomega-na-en.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/iomega_na_en.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?referrer=mondosearch&p_faqid=19614&p_created=1192829173&p_sid=5xi5iDnj&p_accessibility=&p_redirect=&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPSZwX3NvcnRfYnk9JnBfZ3JpZHNvcnQ9JnBfcm93X2NudD0xMywxMyZwX3Byb2RzPTMsOTkzJnBfY2F0cz03MyZwX3B2PTIuOTkzJnBfY3Y9MS43MyZwX3BhZ2U9MQ**&p_li=&p_topview=1"]this guide[/URL] that said I can reformat the drive so it would actually work with my iMAC. It did in fact work. I can move files over to the drive now (though it takes about 30 min to move a 1GB .avi file) but when I hook it up to my TV the drive appears to be blank. I'm worried that reformatting go by, even though I was able to move files over eventually did not actually make it FAT32 which everything I read said it needs to be. Has anyone done this process before. Am I on the right path? Any help I would GREATLY appreciate. If not I suppose I can just use it as an external hard drive but I would like to get full use out of this darn thing if possible. Thanks in advance. -Rock [/QUOTE]
