If you’re unsure you can simply leave it as it is, and it should work just fine. Upon restarting, you should go to System Preferences -> Tuxera and look over the options to make sure everything is set up the way you want it (check the picture above to see options). When you install it, you will have to restart your computer to finalize the installation.
It resides in the System Preferences, where it can be easily enabled, disabled or configured. Tuxera NTFS for Mac is a very simple to setup app. Give it a shot though if you want, I mean free and works on Linux, Mac OS X, OpenSolaris, FreeBSD, NetBSD, QNX, Windows and Haiku.įor the purpose of this tutorial I will use Tuxera as it is my favourite of the three as well as the one I currently use. Also after browsing around I found a lot of mixed reviews of NTFS-3G, some saying it works great other saying the opposite.
NTFS-3G is a free solution, however I personally have never been able to get it working properly.
Tuxera is right in the middle, affordable and works great. A couple are to use the software Parallels, Tuxera or NTFS-3G.Ī quick run down of the 3 will show that Parallels is the most expensive and the most feature extensive. There are a few options out there to get your Mac to play nicely with the NTFS format.
