I ran across the Andale Mono font which puts a dot in the middle of the Zero. Most of the fonts distinguish Zero and Oscar by making them thin and fat, respectively. ) When I'm in doubt, I'll just copy the problem text and paste it into Notepad or Text Edit using a font that eliminates any doubt. (Typewriters as old as I am did not have a One key because we had the lower-case Lima. Along with Zero, One, Oscar, and India, you can add Lima. Re I's and O's: I agree with you whole-heartedly. I have a couple of WD 2TB "Passport" drives, and they can use an EXFAT format that works with both Windows and Mac. Re format: I probably shouldn't respond to this because you're working with a Seagate drive, while this reply is about a WD drive, but what the heck. That goes also for the number one (1) and capital “I.” I wasted about 15 minutes trying different combinations, until I discovered that the key was incomplete. For example, is a character the number zero (0) or the capital letter “O” - it can be hard to tell. Due to printed and screen fonts, given keys should never contain certain letters. (I also had trouble closing out of the MyParagon Customer Portal dialog box.)

Fortunately, the emailed instructions had the full combination of letters and numbers. Turns out the printed instructions truncated the key. I have only one complaint about Paragon I kept getting incorrect product-key errors when I tried to validate the purchase.
Installation was quick and easy, and after a system reboot, my Seagate drive was now read/write. (Both products offer a free trial period.) $31 but I downloaded and installed Paragon’s app because it’s $20 and I had used it in the distant past.

(I blame my impatience on my Irish ancestors.) There are two commonly listed apps that will do the job: Paragon’s NTFS for Mac ( more info) and Tuxera’s similarly named product ( site). I tried them, but it did not immediately work. The instructions are given in a TechRepublic article. I decided to try the free option first (perhaps a result of my Scottish ancestry). Most of the file transfers happen over the local network.)Ī bit of research on the Web turned up two options: making a change in the OS X Terminal or buying a utility that would add NTFS support. (A chore I haven’t had needed to do recently.

That’s a pain for anyone who moves many gigabytes of Windows and Mac files onto and off of the same portable drive. My USB-connected Seagate FreeAgent drive was set to read-only. I was surprised to discover that El Capitan does not fully support Microsoft’s standard format by default. That came up recently when I tried to connect a NTFS-formatted external hard drive to my Mac Book Pro. Sometimes the same holds for making a DIY system change to OS X or simply purchasing a utility to do it for you. I'm sure tadams was thinking about this one.I’m perfectly capable of changing the oil in my truck, but I’d rather pay someone to do it. His site is currently linked directly from under 'Mac OS X DMG Package' so you know it's actually recognized by the official effort, and this is what most people use. then catacombae, the current maintainer of the simplified binaries, stepped in and picked up the slack from September 2007. The old binaries from shadowofged was still available around the 'net for those who searched around a bit. That's probably why you only found Daniel Johnson's work instead of his. The problem is, back around then the guy who made the package, shadowofged, had to stop releasing them due to workplace-related conflict-of-interest issues. In fact, it was available even back in August 2007, when you posted that old thread, hux.

MacFUSE + NTFG-3G has had at least someone maintaining this sort of simple install & integration package for quite some time. However, last time I checked the NTFS-3G still had issues with dealing with certain non-English unicode names. Usability-wise, it's similar to Paragon NTFS solution. Start using NTFS volume like HFS+ volume.
