Little Snitch is an outbound app firewall. Unfortunately, this app sabotages the accessibility API, and you have to change a preference to get it back. The dev seems to be taking a zero-tolerance approach to this problem, so I’m not using the app. That was last I heard. Things might have chan

Preparing Full Drive for Use on Windows and Mac?

Hello all, Given an external hard drive that has long been used on Windows and has a lot of data on it, and the fact that this drive will need to support Mac and Windows, how might I go about formatting it? I know I'll need to use FAT32, and that this file system imposes a 4GB limit for files. M

Possibly, but when I tried it a few years ago, it caused problems and lock-ups, and I had to get rid of it. I'd rather convert the file system to something both computers can work with natively, if at all possible. XFAT is a good idea--I forgot about that one. It's a 1TB drive, so hopefully XFAT
