10.4: Use MacFuse to read and write to NTFS volumes
This is just fantastic! In fact it was even easier for me (didn't even need to use the Terminal, let alone Xcode - only Safari and TextEdit!) What I did:
(1) Downloaded the latest MacFUSE package (dmg from Google); (2) Installed MacFUSE package and restarted the Mac; (3) Downloaded the NTFS-3g package (dmg from Chucker's - lifehack link is dead); (4) Fixed the "macfuse_required" error (tip from InsanelyMac); (5) Installed the NTFS-3g package (no restart); (6) Plugged in my NTFS-formatted USB2 external drive (which wouldn't even mount before) and it just appeared on my Macbook's desktop - read-write!!!

Every time I get to the point of installing something from one of the links you posted, it says there's nothing to install.

Excelent instructions. Really easy to follow. I am a new user mac (1 month) and didnt have a problem at all and worked fine. Thanks
10.4: Use MacFuse to read and write to NTFS volumes
Yay. After two days of incessant head-banging, the InsanelyMac tip finally let me install ntfs-3g. Now, my NTFS-formatted MyBook doesn't appear AT ALL. Yes, boys and girls, I've made the huge technological advance of going from read-only to NOTHING AT ALL. I'm ready to drop this hideous oversized truck muffler down a well and go back to a PC.
What's an "unclean logfile?" Eww...
Running (well, finding, and then running) ntfs-3g from the terminal revealed an "unlean NTFS logfile" that could be cleansed (exorcised?) only by a holy Windows machine. A quick plug-in-and-eject to a handy XP laptop and MyBook is mounted read-write. |
