If I get a flash drive, can it pull media files off of Macs and PCs or is it only one or the other? -- nm - David Aug 9, 12:37 21
- If formatted for the PC, both can read. If formatted for the Mac, only the Mac -- nm - oblique Aug 9, 12:39 2

    - Kid, your face is laden with viruses. -- nm - TFox Aug 9, 12:47
- I transfer files between Macs and PCs all the time on flash cards. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 12:39 17
  - Okay, thanks. I've got an external hard drive with a folder Windows cannot access but Kim's MacBook can. - David Aug 9, 12:40 16
    - Could be simple security permissions. Windows may be respecting them while the Mac ignores -- nm - oblique Aug 9, 12:42 15
      - I thought about that, but I wasn't sure how to troubleshoot it. - David Aug 9, 12:44 14
        
        have you rebooted Vista recently? Or ... overwritten it with a sane operating system, maybe? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 12:47 13
        
        This issue occurs across two desktops and a laptop. - David Aug 9, 12:49 12
        
        Are these files you can actually open or read on the Mac. It sounds like even though the Mac is "copying files" they're not really being copied or - oblique Aug 9, 13:04 2
        
        Yes, this is what I'm trying to determine. I'm trying File Scavenger right now. -- nm - David Aug 9, 13:16
        
        oh, yes, good point. Verifying the integrity would be a good move. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 13:05
        
        If you had a NAS (and I'm shocked that you don't) you could use that as a platform-agnostic file storage medium. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 12:51 8
        
        This isn't helpful. -- nm - David Aug 9, 13:00 4
        
        Buy a NAS. Put a hard drive in it. Use the mac to copy the files from the broken external drive, over the network, to the NAS. - Beryllium Aug 9, 13:02 3
        
        it's not helpful because it's a "if you'd done this..." solution. - Reagen Aug 9, 13:03 2
        
        Perhaps it's the tense of "had" that is the issue; replace it with "acquired" -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 13:06
        
        I just outlined a solution. He said he can access the data on the mac ... so it's not lost yet. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 13:04
        
        I prefer them to be platform-atheist myself. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 9, 12:55 2
        
        "The user is a myth!" -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 13:02
        
        Sorry, it's my favourite buzzword of the month. I've been overusing it :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 12:57
