I have a Seagate Backup Plus Portable that will not allow me to save anything to it. I can retrieve items but I cannot add anything to it. When I opened a Word Document and attempted to save it, it was in 'Read Only' mode. Additionally, My MacBook Pro will not allow me to Backup my files to it.

Jan, 1 month agoI have a Seagate Backup Plus drive that has been working fine. All of a sudden I can't back up to it (less than 5% full) and cannot open any files backed up on it. It says I don't have permission. Where do I change settings and what setting do I change. Thanks!
paul, 2 years agoI need the owners manual for the Seagate Backup plus Slim and can't get it on this public computer and my HP Stream PC doesn't have a printer.
Janis, 2 years agoAbout every half hour I get a pop up screen, I'm assuming showing that things are getting backed up. It shows a file history folder in Backup E drive. However, the E drive shows that apparently the Seagate is not saving anything. I still have 929 GB out of 931GB. How can I be sure my information is being backed up?
Forrest, 2 years agoI have installed and registered the portable disc but cannot review what it has backed up?

Victoria flores, 2 years agoI have an old 1TB Seagate Backup Plus Portable, Model #SRDOOF1, that works great. I had it on my old 2.0 PC. But now that I have two new PCs that have USB 3.0 interfaces, I need to know if this is a 3.0 or 2.0 drive. That model number doesn't show up anywhere, so I can't be sure. Please let me know. Thanks, Steve
Steve, 2 years agoI am having trouble moving files around on my seagate hard drive. I know previously i have been able to drag and drop files to move them around, but it's not working now. How come?

lynda, 3 years agoI recently bought a Seagate for Mac 1 TB external hard drive. When I connect to my MacBook through the FireWire, it works fine, but I also have media on my Dell laptop which is running Windows Vista. When I connect the hard drive to that laptop using the USB cable, Windows doesn't recognize it. What am I doing wrong?

Since you have a Seagate drive you are in luck!
Seagate has free drivers available to download for:
Both are commercial products made by Paragon. See their homepages for:
I'm not affiliated with Paragon. I just bought a Seagate drive to use on a Mac I just acquired though I've always had Windows machines. I've given them both a quick test and they seem to work well, but I haven't put them to extensive use this far.
hippietrailhippietrailIf you open the Disk Utility application on your Mac with the disk connected, you should be able to see it in the list of disks on the left hand column of the Disk Utility window.
If you click on the the partition (i.e. the name you see in your file tree when the disk mounts under OS X) what do you see for the Format at the bottom of the window?
If it is Mac OS Extended or a something similar then your disk is using the HFS+ file system, which is the default for OS X. This file system type is not natively supported by Windows, which is why the disk will not mount when you plug it into your laptop.
You have a couple of options:
Reformat the disk to
FAT32, which (as suggested by Michael Sturm) is the lowest common denominator in file systems between OS X and Windows. In addition to limitation to file sizes < 4 GB, you also lose a lot of nice features onHFS+such as permissions and journalling.Create a
FAT32partition on the disk along side the existingHFS+partition. This could be used to move data between the Mac and the Windows machine, but would suffer from all the sameFAT32issues mentioned above.Look at additional software which will allow for either
NTFSorHFS+to be read on OS X and Windows respectively. On the Mac, this can be accomplished using add-ons related to the MacFuse project. You should choose the filesystem that you plan on using most frequently so that it is as fast as possible and then reformat the disk accordingly. Using additional software like this will probably create a performance hit, but how noticeable it is depends on your usage pattern.
Its is probably the format of the drive. In general, Macs will read Windows formatted drives (FAT and, I believe NTFS), but Windows doesn't recognize Mac formatted drives (HFS+). Mac sport everest tent 6 person manual 3.
KeithBKeithBDepends on the filesystem type and partitioning scheme whether it'll work on both. If the hard drive were formatted for HFS it would not show up on the Windows Computer. If the Partition Scheme were Apple Partition Map, it would also not show up.
For maximum compatibility, back up everything from the external hard drive onto your Mac. Open Disk Utility, select the external hard drive and go to Partition. Under Volume Scheme, choose 1 Partition, then click Options. Choose Master Boot Record. Click Ok. Then choose MSDOS under the Format menu. Then click Apply.
Your hard drive should work on either computer at that point, as well as others you may try to use it on.
This is most likely related to the File System type that the drive was formatted with:
- Windows cannot use HFS+ (the Mac file system).
- Mac can not use NTFS (as far as I know), and the lowest common denominator -
- FAT32 - is not available as an option in the Windows Format Dialog (although I think there are tools to use it as it supports 2 TB Partitions).
File Size on FAT32 is limited to 4 GB though, disqualifying it for video applications.
Michael Stum♦Michael StumIf you want something that both machines / OSes can read a write, and that can act as an emergency boot drive for either machine, do this:
Seagate Backup Plus Mac Manual
- Reformat the drive, using the GUID Partition Table (GPT) as the low-level partition table format. Avoid Master Boot Record, which Intel Macs can't boot from. Also avoid Apple Partition Map, which Windows machines would have no clue about.
- Give the drive one HFS+J (Mac OS Extended, Journaled) partition large enough to install Mac OS X onto (10GB+). This volume format accommodates Mac OS X and Mac files the best.
- Give the drive one FAT32 (MS-DOS) partition, which both Mac OS X and Windows can read and write. This is a good place to put files that you want both Mac and Windows to have read/write access to. The FAT volume format is showing its age, but a huge variety of OSes know how to work with it.
- If you want the drive to have a volume that's more optimal for Windows than FAT, give it an NTFS partition as well. This would be a good volume to install Windows onto, but beware that Mac OS X only has read-only support for NTFS built-in. If you want your Mac to be able to write to this partition, you'll need third-party software to enable this on Mac OS X.
