Editorial Reviews: MacDrive 6 is the easy way to use Mac disks with Windows systems. It can read, write and format Mac disks so they'll operate on PCs, making transferring files across formats easier. It also burns recordable and rewritable Mac CD's and DVD's.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Watch out for dual format disks on a PC Comment: Watch out for trouble with MacDrive. I bought and installed MacDrive. It connected me great to an external USB hard drive that I shared with some Macs in the household. But MacDrive cost me at least 40 hours of headaches and wasted time. MacDrive automatically defaults all your drives to Mac preferred drive. If you try to install software on your PC with a dual format Apple/PC disk, like TurboTax, your computer goes dumb. It tries to read the Mac portion of the disk and doesn't know what to do. It can't find the Windows commands. Using Explorer or any other PC tools to find setup.exe or autorun fails, until you put the disk on a machine without MacDrive. Then it works fine. This occasional incompatibility really causes headaches because you're unlikely to link it to the MacDrive software you installed 3 months ago. You'll go through lots of 'fixes' but never find the problem. I called TurboTax support and went through a whole host of installer and autorun registry debugging and still couldn't get the TurboTax disk to install. When I had the problem with a Canon scanner installation months later, same story. Hours of debugging and on the phone with the Canon tech support. I only found the problem by rebuilding my whole system and trying the trouble disk after each installed piece of software. The culprit was MacDrive. It would be OK if MacDrive told you they were messing up your computer, or if they warned you you might have install failures later, or if they asked you do you want your PC to default to Mac. But they don't. It's lame. To get around the problem here's the fix if you have MacDrive installed: # Open "My Computer" # Right-click on the CD/DVD drive containing the dual-format disc # Choose "MacDrive -> Show Windows files" # You can also globally set MacDrive to view the Windows files on a dual-format disc by going to Start > Control Panel, selecting MacDrive, selecting the "Settings" tab and checking "View Windows files" (under "Dual-format CDs/DVDs). Customer Rating: Summary: Works as specified Comment: This allowed me to use the same backup drive for a MAC and a PC with no issues. Customer Rating: Summary: Mac files to PC Comment: Ok. So I used a work computer back in the day, a mac, and didnt have one at home. I downloaded all my music from cds onto it, and syched my iPod to it. Then when I left for a new job, I transferred all my music onto an external hard drive - 40 gigs worth. So when I eventually bought a pc i couldnt transfer the music files or have the thing recognise the mac formatted hard drive... So I bought this software. It allowed me to copy all my music files onto the pc. Then I reformatted the external hard drive to pc format (NTFS/FAT32? i cant remember now, it was a while ago), and then dumped the files back on the external hard drive and everything works great now. Customer Rating: Summary: MacDrive 6 Comment: Purchased this software in order to access Mac files on my PC. Easy to install, intuitive to operate and functioned as advertised. Customer Rating: Summary: Easy to use! Comment: I own a PC and a Mac, and was struggling to find a way to back them both up on the same external drive. This program made it possible!! Using Macdrive in combination with Disc Utility (Mac), Copy Cloner (Mac), and Ghost (PC), I was able to backup both PC and Mac on the same external drive. Even better the backups are bootable and I can access all the drives from either computer! Macdrive is a wonderful product! Just install on PC, and you will have full access to all mac files including your Mac formatted drives and even your iPod!! Mediafour's website offers a trial version. Download it and try it for yourself:) More Reviews
