    Moving files from Mac-formatted external hard drive to PC


    I have an external hard drive where I moved all of my mac photos to. I now have a PC with windows 10, but I can't find a way to save the photos onto my computer. The hard drive is recognized in disk management, but does not appear under devices. I would like to format it to my PC WITHOUT losing my photos. Help!

    :)

    How to use Mac formatted external hard drive on Windows?

    Hi,

    Since the external hard drive was formatted for Mac and the only way you can access it is by using a third party tool, we suggest contacting Apple support to further assist you.

    Thanks.

    Moving files from Mac-formatted external hard drive to PC

    Old Mac formatted photo files need to be opened on my PC.

    The files themselves are jpeg, tiff, or psd, but the external drive itself was formatted for Mac. When I set up the external drive it asked whether
    to format for Mac or PC. When I attach the External Drive to my PC, the icons for the files showed up on the screen but when I click to open the file
    is "not readable". When I took it to a shop, the guy saw the icons on the PC screen and assumed it was ok I guess.
