How To Gain Read/Write Access For NTFS Format Hard Disk On OS X?

You have used Boot Camp for an installation of Windows Operating System but the partitioned hard disk is not writable. Or you have bought a new external Hard disk for storage or you already have an external hard disk before and now switched to Mac, you would be facing a critical problem. The problem is you can read data from it but cannot add anything on it ,which is not the case when the same HDD is connected to a Windows based computer.

The problem lies in the different formats , your Mac OS operates on a HFS+ format while your External Hard Disk has NTFS format. So it only allows you to read it but cannot manipulate any data on it. There are two solution softwares which you can use to make your NTFS format Hard disk Read/Write.

1) The first one is a software called Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X.By using this software you have complete read/write format access to NTFS volumes partitions. Easily transfer data between Windows and Mac® computers using external or USB drives with
NTFS partitions.
Download Paragon NTFS for Mac® OS X (10 days trial)

But it is not a free software you have to buy it. But if you want a free method then there is a second process below.

2)Download MacFUSE-Core-10.5-1.5.1.dmg , and install the dmg image file.
Then you have to install the NTFS-3G driver which is an open source application.
So, download NTFS-3G 1.2531 and install it .The machine will now restart and then you can read/write NTFS volumes.These are Open Source softwares so they are available for free.

How To "Right-Click" While Running Windows On A Mac?

Mac OS X has been a very user friendly interface to work with but still some do install Windows in their Mac with the help of Boot Camp.
If you have installed Windows along with Mac OS X by Boot Camp then you must be facing an expected problem, how are you supposed to do a “right-click” when you’re running Windows?

Well I too faced the same difficulty in figuring out the right click in Windows.So, here I have suggested some sollution for it. And no, Control-clicking doesn’t solve problem One easy way to solve the right-click problem, just plug in a real (two- or three-button) mouse. It just works.

Well this is what you might be doing, which is quite obvious. But there are other methods too, like using a keyboard Remapper if you are using a Macbook Pro.
Simultaneously pressing the Shift + F10 (but some might get it by adding function key to it pressing Shift + fn +F10) is another way to do right click on a Macbook.

The best part is that there are a few softwares which can do this job for you. You can now right-click with the help of the single wide mouse button beneath your trackpad.

This handy Windows utility called Apple Mouse Utility, made several years ago for using Apple mice with Windows PCs, allowing you to hold down the Ctrl key and click to simulate a “right-click,” just like you would in Mac OS X.

For more info try this link:http://www.geocities.com/pronto4u/applemouse.html

But I prefer iMouse, the full-feature right-click (not only to bring up the context menu but also right-click and drag, etc) with one-button mouse.iMouse enables right-click feature for a single-button mouse. It is useful for you to run Windows on your Mac computers (desktop/laptop) from Apple.

Download HERE

These are very well devloped softwares for all your right-click problem on your Mac running Windows.
I hope you will now enjoy using Windows on your Mac till you get fammilar with OS X.
