Why I cannot move(or copy) a file between external HD ( I was able to do till yesterday) ?
The HD from origin is NTFS formatted while the destination is FAT32.
I promise: I never had troubles till yesterday.
Is anyone having a solution for this?
Many thanks
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
Is there an application running that has the file open? That will cause a problem.
Thanks BobRz for the prompt reply but...no, the file is not in use by any application running...
STrange enough the opposite way (from FAT32 to NTFS )works ...uptonow..
Do you have some kind of 3rd party app for that? A Mac can't natively write to NTFS.
Try running Disk Utility and the repair option on the FAT drive. Also, how big is the file you're trying to transfer? If it's bigger than 4GB that's your problem. If you have files bigger than 4GB you want ext FAT, not FAT 32.
Thanks BobRz,
I am currently off from my Mac.
I am using Tuxera for NTFS. ANyhow, the case is that I cannot write on FAT32, maybe the file is larger than 4 GB.. WIll check this eve and let u know. Many thanks again for your kind help.
You're welcome. Let me know if that's the case, ok?
