I bought the 'My Passport' for MAC, does this version have to be 'formatted' since its specifically for MAC? Also with my PC I was able to go in and specify where downloads are saved and where pictures, music, movies & everything else are saved- specifically to my external drive. I want to do the same. The My Passport portable drive is trusted to store the massive amounts of photos, videos and music you love. Available in an array of vibrant, fun colors, the sleek style fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, so you can easily take your treasured content everywhere you go. As of 2018, Western Digital offers no shortage of external drives for Mac computers – from the My Book Essential to the My Book Pro and the My Book Studio, nearly 30 WD drives play nicely with Apple’s macOS operating system, as does the My Passport Studio model. But with more than 262.5 million PCs shipped in 2017, according to data from Statista, there’s a good chance your Passport Studio will need to play nicely with a Windows computer, too. When it comes to cross-platform flexibility, you’ve got a few options for crossing the Mac and PC streams. About eFAT and FAT32 Here’s something your My Passport for Mac Quick Install Guide might not tell you: Hard drives usually come formatted in two different ways, one catering to Windows and one catering to Mac. NTFS-formatted drives work with Windows computers, and HFS+ drives work with Mac. However, by formatting your My Passport differently, you can ensure compatibility in a variety of different ways. Hard drives formatted to exFAT or FAT32 can read and write data on both Mac and PC operating systems, though FAT32 is limited to a 4-gigabyte-per-file size limit. ![]() Formatting your drive will erase all its data, so be sure to back it up before making the change. External Drive for Mac to Windows 10 If you’ve got a WD external drive for Mac platforms and you want it to work on a Windows 10 PC, exFAT format is your best bet. To start formatting, connect your WD Passport to your Mac; then open “Mac HD” and click “Applications,” “Utilities” and “Disk Utility.” From the Disk Utility window, select the Passport hard drive. Here, you’ll usually see two listings of partitions available on the drive – select the listing that is furthest left. Click the Disk Utility’s “Erase” button; assign the drive a name in the “Name” field; then hit “Erase,” and click “Done” when the erasing process is complete. Now, click the “Partition” button at the top of the Disk Utility and click “Format.” Choose “exFAT” from the drop-down menu that appears and click “Apply” to format the drive, which will take a few minutes. Once the formatting is complete and you get a message that says “Operation successful,” click “Done.” To Windows 8 and Earlier The external drive for Mac to Windows 8 transition makes use of Window’s built-in Disk Management software rather than the macOS Disk Utility, but you’ll still want to format your WD Passport as an exFAT drive. To do so, connect the Passport to your PC, enter the Windows 8 Start menu and choose “Disk Management.” In the Disk Management app, right-click on the drive and select “New Simple Volume.” from the menu that appears. This brings up the New Simple Volume Wizard. Click the “Next” button until you get to the “Format Partition” window and choose “exFAT” under “File System” (you can also change the name of the drive under “Volume label” if you wish).

Size: 3.61 GB. Microsoft Office 2016 – Unmistakably Office, designed for Mac. The new versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote provide the best of both worlds for Mac users – the familiar Office experience paired with the best of Mac. Macbook users all know the pinch they felt from having to buy that pricey Microsoft Office suite. But as Microsoft works to release its Office 2016, they are offering you a peek — free of charge. This is the first time Microsoft Office suite has had a new release since 2011. To get the Preview, all you have to do is go to the website right now. The preview version of this suite will come fully packed with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and Outlook to every desktop OS user. Sure, it doesn’t have the final version, and there’re sure to be some updates, but this is the chance to get your paws on Microsoft Office for free while you still can. You will need Snow Leopard or higher to run the suite, but with the, that shouldn’t remain a problem for long. The biggest update from this most recent version of Office is all in the design. Microsoft Office for Mac has had a problem of looking too dated when it comes to the Mac version, while its preferred Windows partner has that squeaky-clean, new feeling. Some people have stated that this latest version is now on par, or perhaps similar, to the Office 365 for Windows, with new flat design icons that were introduced in OS X Yosemite. The Outlook included in the bundle is already available as a stand-alone app, while OneNote is not included in the bundle and will continue to operate as a separate download (for free). Even if it’s not the full version, it’s very well worth the look-see, because it’s definitely time to chuck that Microsoft Office 2011 as far as you can. Adobe Flash Player for Mac lets you access Flash content in Web sites when using browsers like OS X's Safari. The plug-in integrates seamlessly and through a preference pane, gives you control over the type of access each Web site has to your system. The only downside to using it is that it suffers from performance issues. Pros Configurable: The plug-in adds a new preference pane in System Preferences where you will be able to adjust your local storage, camera, mic and peer-assisted networking settings to either allow the feature for all Web sites, on a per-request basis, or to deny all requests. Per-site settings: All the features listed above support per-site settings for even more precise control. Advanced options: The app lets you delete all Flash-related data and settings as well as audio and video license files, deauthorize the computer, and access trusted locations for developer testing. Cons Performance issues: Despite its long history with OS X, this software tends to slow down your computer and drain your battery. Bottom Line If you're constantly visiting Flash-based Web sites, you will have to install either this plug-in, or a browser like Google Chrome, which has built-in Flash support. Generally, the better way to go would be to use Chrome since there will be a lower performance impact on your system. But if Chrome is not your kind of browser, then this plug-in remains a viable solution for enjoying Flash content on your Mac.

Write-N-Cite2.5 supports Microsoft Office 2004, 2008 & 2011 When will there be a version of Write-N-Cite that support OS X 10.7 (“Lion”) We are already working on the next version of Write-N-Cite, which will bring back OS X 10.7 (“Lion”) compatibility and will strive to provide feature parity with the Windows version. Please visit our Facebook page or follow us on twitter to be among the first to know when the new version will be available. A few exciting features, we are planning to introduce: • Instant formatting • Seamless online/offline function • Usability Enhancements Q. When installing Write-N-Cite on my computer running OS X 10.6 (“Snow Leopard”), I am asked to install Rosetta. Rosetta is a free tool from Apple, which provides compatibility between certain Mac applications, such as Write-N-Cite 2.5, and Mac OS X 10.5 (“Leopard”) / Mac OS X 10.6 (“Snow Leopard”). While Rosetta was pre-installed on Mac OS X 10.5, it is an optional install with Mac OS X 10.6. It is safe to install and you won’t even notice it, while using Write-N-Cite. Please note that if you are using OS X 10.7 (“Lion”) Write-N-Cite currently isn’t supported, as Apple stopped support for Rosetta in this particular version of its operating system.

Please contact [email protected] if you need further assistance. How do I completely uninstall Write-N-Cite? As with every other Mac app, simply drag and drop the Write-N-Cite application from the Application folder to the trash and clear the trash. This is absolutely sufficient for most everyone. This process will leave a tiny PLIST file on your machine, which you can find and delete from users/Library/Preferences/com.refworks.wncm.plist. ![]() AppleWorks — the most popular program on the Mac — is really several applications in one. It gives you six core capabilities (and a number of combinations thereof): word processing, spreadsheet, database, presentation, drawing and painting. AppleWorks 6 works the way people think and work — and that extends the capabilities of the people using it. AppleWorks is a compactly designed and elegantly engineered multifunctional program with a remarkably small memory requirement. Best of all, AppleWorks doesn’t take up nearly as much hard disk space as six applications, and needs nowhere near as much memory. What’s New in this Version This update to AppleWorks 6.0 and later supports mice with scroll wheels and improves the performance and reliability of AppleWorks’ presentation and spreadsheet environments.
