File Format That Works On Mac And Pc
Format a drive for Mac OS X and Windows. 'I own a SimpleTech 320GB Black Cherry Hard Drive and needed it to run on both Mac and PC for school. Most modern Windows systems use the NTFS file. Plug in your external HDD to the USB port of your computer then go to my computer find your external drive right-click it and select format. A new window will open, select the desired file system, keep the allocation unit size to default and check mark quick format (or it will take more time). To do this, you will need to use either exFAT or FAT32 formats. This will allow you to use the hard drive on both a Mac and PC. FAT32 is often used among general users, but FAT32 has limitations that can affect filmmakers. FAT32 has a maximum file size of 4 GB per file. The limitation affects both Mac and PC users. A single high resolution file can easily go over 4 GB, so Fat32 may not the best format. Disk Utility is the software on your Mac that will format your external hard drive for Mac and PC.

What File Format For Mac And Pc
Need to transfer data file from Quicken Mac to Quicken Windows
Comments
File Format For Both Mac And Pc
- edited December 2017Which Mac version? You can convert from Windows to Mac but going the other way might not work. Search the forum.
- edited December 2017Almost impossible to convert from Quicken Mac to Quicken Windows.
Suggest you search on this forum for advice in doing so..but it's not pretty, at all. - edited October 2018Hi John.
I would be happy to help you with this question.
In Quicken for Mac, you would need to do a File>Export>Quicken Windows Transfer File (QXF):
Save this file on your Desktop or somewhere where you can find it. We recommend either the Desktop or on a flash drive.
On the Windows side:
Click on File > File Import > Quicken Transfer format (.QXF) file
Let us know if you have any issues. This should get everything moved over..

But Harold, if you've even read any of the comments on here regarding converting from Quicken Mac to Quicken Windows, you'd notice that what you proposed doesn't work.
And if you get any semblance of it to work, transfers are horrendously messed up as are any investment transactions.
Go ahead..do what you propose..but don't expect ANY reasonable conversion that won't require days of making adjustments and corrections.
Once again, search on this forum for 'Convert Mac to Windows' and see the replies and the results. And every superuser on this forum will tell you that it doesn't work. - edited October 2018GOOD LUCK!!! Reasonable expectations need to be set on this..This process has been documented to be broken since QW2013, though apparently there has been some minor improvement in QW2018. That said, the biggest problem is that categorization of transactions get woefully messed up beyond reasonable recovery in MOST cases, with other related issues. There have been VERY FEW documented success stories.
Like @B Hawks says, do your research..
Of course, the proof is in the pudding, so you can simply try it, and if it fails, you can always return the product within the 30-day money-back guarantee period, if it applies.

I'd be more curious to see how he got this to work easy peasy.
Personally, I'd rather just start over from a specific date (now January 1, 2018 would be a nice starting point) than try to get this to work. - edited December 2017Hi John.

Importing of investment accounts isn't supported by the Windows QFX import. So in a sense that part isn't 'messed up', it non existing. - edited December 2017Here's one of the posts that folks are suggesting you search for:
