Hard drive works on Imac not macbook

angelito · 5th February 2012

Sorry if this is simple to fix and if its in wrong forum but I just got a 500gb seagate portable hard drive. I used it with my imac first and it worked fine but it isn't letting me save sessions from my macbook on to it but it will copy files from the hard drive to my macbook, can someone help?

is it NT formatted? Did you install support for writing NTFS on the imac and not on the macbook?

Angelito, Nothing personal home slice..but you really need to READ all you can on audio engineering and really ABSORB all that you read because you really dont know your shit just yet. What you are tring to achieve is like "audio 101" ..kindergarten shit" It takes a good while to master audio engineering,especially at the rate you are going.
