[QUOTE="jott, post: 1404060, member: 247236"] [b]Move Files to USB memory stick[/b] There are a few issues that need to be clarified. I have enough USB memory sticks of which I could easily use one to reformat to a FAT32. However, I am still heavily committed to my Windows 7 computer due to the many apps I use. The iMac OSx Lion is new to me and I would like to get to know it well. As all my memory sticks are formatted with NTFS I have a vested interest to have this working such that I can read/write to my memory sticks. A work around by reformatting them is not a very attractive alternative. The memory stick that is plugged in to my iMAC is a 16 GB stick and I can read OK from it. I used it to transfer all my photos to the iMac. There is also a strange phenomenon that is somewhat puzzling. When I installed the ntfs-3g driver (with unsuccessful result due to the missing dylib) the USB stick was then no longer shown in the "Finder". Unplugging and connecting it again brought it back to be shown in the Device list of the Finder. This is not a good practice, because memory sticks should be properly ejected before removing it. I tried to read up on the dylib (whatever it might be), but this is such a confusing mess to make me wonder if it is worthwhile to dig into it. How did you gues ever do it, or have you just taken the easy way to use only FAT32 formatted sticks? John [/QUOTE]
