NTFS for MAC error

Hi BoBoHK (and others),

My paragon version shows 15.5.106 and declares this as "latest version". Interesting to see a 15.9.xxx version, a major difference I would say.

Does someone understand this?

I am using Catalina and went back via re-install to avoid 2022-003 update, hence my NTSF/Paragon works again.

I will be staying with this until either Paragon or another Apple patch shows a working solution.

My key question currently is the difference in Paragon versions, appreciate any hint to explain why obviously I have been missing some patches.

Happy evening,

Wolfram

works for me too

*may be a problem/not work at open the Microsoft NTFS for Mac first time, try relaunch it and open the Preferences and press "check for updates now", all become work automatic.

I would recommend Rafael's suggestion in this thread, as although I can still mount NTFS drives manually with terminal in the 2022-003 update using Tuxera, files are being corrupted when copied to the drives.

I have copied one or two large files to my ntfs external drive and the MD5 hash is different and they don't open properly.

I would reinstall Catalina altogether then reinstall Tuxera/Paragon and hold off on any security updates for now.

Thanks for the notice.

I finally update today Catalina 10.15.7 (MacBook Pro 15 pouces, mi-2012) with the 2022-004 patch.

My external 2To Seagate formatted in NTFS is readable and writable normally without the need of paragon software.

🙏 Thanks to the developers that produced this patch.

Is there someone to confirme that after the 2022-004 patch the ntfs external hard drives are readable and writable without the need of paragon software or any other ntfs softwares?

For me it works fine without paragon but i wonder a bit if some other ntfs softwares that I installed and removed during the fault finding are still on my mac and make it works.

For now, I'm using the manual mounting posted in mine thread: Security Update 2022-003 Catalina gives p… - Apple Community

Re-install Catalina. Get it here:

You sure it doesn't mount in read-only?

Have you tried going via the application and select "Mount in Read-only mode"?

It works for me.

Contact Paragon Support.

I do experience the same issue and I'm not using Pragon but Tuxera. Multiple other users on reddit and tidbits are reporting this too.

I don't use paragon and face the same issue. It's update's fault, not paragon's.

FWIW, I'm seeing the same issue. I formatted a USB Thumb drive as NTFS on a Windows laptop and it won't mount on an iMac after the last security update.

Edit: it mounts in Monterey.
