Enable writing to NTFS hard drives for free in Mac.
NTFS FOR MAC 10.11 MAC OS X
While it won't enable NTFS write in Mac OS X by itself, FUSE is a necessary "building block" for pretty much any Mac driver that deals with third-party file systems (including the NTFS file system). However, the download process on Niresh's website is a bit convoluted, so it's up to you whether you want to try his new driver package, or just stick to the current method detailed in this guide (either way, the results are the same).ĭownload and install OSXFUSE on your computer.
UPDATE (September 12, 2014): Niresh (Hackintosh Zone) has combined the 3 separate drivers listed in this guide into a single all-in-one NTFS driver package, which is quicker and easier to install. UPDATE (October 9, 2015): Yes, this still works on OS X El Capitan! You may have to update OSXFuse, but that's it. (Here at MacBreaker, we have a policy of avoiding the use of Terminal whenever possible.) This solution is compatible with every version of Mac OS X since Snow Leopard, including Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite, and even El Capitan. Access, edit, store and transfer files hassle-free. Full read-write compatibility with NTFS-formatted drives on a Mac. It's simpler, and you don't need to use Terminal. Tuxera NTFS for Mac is a commercial NTFS driver developed from the popular open-source NTFS-3G driver, which is a natural part of all major Linux distributions, and also has lots of users on Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris, and NetBSD. Despite these developments, however, we still recommend that you follow this guide and install third-party drivers anyways. Nowadays, you can actually just skip third-party drivers altogether by enabling Apple's native NTFS drivers through Terminal instead. This mini-guide merely repeats what we said in our last article about enabling NTFS write capabilities in Mac OS X, from back in 2012. Fortunately, you can enable NTFS writing on OS X with relatively little trouble- all it takes is a few drivers and 10 minutes of your time.
Since many Hackintoshes dual-boot Windows and Mac OS X, being unable to share files between hard drives can lead to a lot of problems with file management. Attempting to drag a file into an NTFS drive in Mac OS X will only result in your mouse cursor turning into an error sign. Mac OS X can read files on NTFS hard drives, but it can't write files to them, which is a glaring omission. Windows uses the NTFS file system for its hard drives.
