Mac OS does not support writing to NTFS disk by default. Here is a simple work around to enable NTFS Read/Write support.
-
Identify either
<NAME>
or<Universal_Unique_Identifier>
of your external device, e.g. use Disk Utility. -
Type in terminal
sudo nano /etc/fstab
-
Add the line that does a trick:
LABEL=<NAME> none ntfs rw,auto,nobrowse
Alternatively
UUID=<Universal_Unique_Identifier> none ntfs rw
The above steps need to be repeated all the time a new NTFS Drive is plugged into the Mac.
