MacOS, formerly Mac OS X from 2001 to 2012 and OS X until 2016, is the name of an operating system for computers made by Apple Inc. These are called Macintosh computers, or Macs. It differs from other computers, as macOS is supposed to run only on Macs and not on other computers. However, people have made the OS run on computers that are not Macs. The 'classic' Mac OS is the original Macintosh operating system that was introduced in 1984 alongside the first Macintosh and remained in primary use on Macs until the introduction of Mac OS X in 2001. Apple released the original Macintosh on January 24, 1984; its early system software was partially based on the Lisa OS and the Xerox PARC Alto computer, which former Apple CEO Steve Jobs.

September 2018Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software is a great upgrade to an exceptional cross-platform utility that's easily worth the money, especially if you own the previous version 14, in which case this one's free.
The user interface is tastefully designed, with buttons for mounting, unmounting, verifying, or erasing the selected volume. Dual-boot users also have the option to reboot into a compatible mounted Mac or Windows startup volume. There's even a lovely color-coded space indicator like the one introduced with Mac OS X El Capitan, displaying content by Audio, Video, Apps, Images, and Other categories.MacWorld, USA, August 2017,

WOW….Ive been struggling with the whole MAC/Windows NTFS issue for some time and have a number of external drives that I need to swap between Mac/PC all the time. I've always had a headache with NTFS drivers etc. I bought and downloaded your Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software today and WOW. Amazing. Everything just works. Brilliant product. Worth every penny. Thank you.

It is pretty fast with NTFS transfers (slightly slower than OSX extended partitions obviously) and I've never had any problems mid-transfer or anything. For me, it's always done what it said on the box, and now with V14 it's got El Capitan compatibility, so no complaints here. If you're looking for a way to have plug-and-play NTFS drives on your mac, there really isn't a better alternative to Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software. Highly recommended for all Mac users!

If you have a Mac and you need to access volumes that are formatted NTFS, this is the best solution out there. Why Apple hasn't just baked in support for NTFS after all these years still remains a mystery. I've been using Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software for several years now and have never had any problems with it.

Click here to return to the 'Make iTunes 6 accept non-native video formats' hint |
I started using this method, then found another that uses smaller files.
I open the avi in Quicktime (Pro natch), then export as a Quicktime media link file. iTunes doesn't seem to recognize the resulting file until I change the extension on the resulting file from qtl to mov. I can then drag it it into the Library and use it exactly the same as a reference file. My files so far are only about 4kb (or less). There may be a hidden 'gotcha' though that I've not come across.
Yes! I was resigned to coding all my AVI clips into h264 or something, but I tried the second method here and it works! Also supports playcounts, which is the most important thing for me. Lovely. I'm working on an Automator/Applescript solution and I'll post it here if I can get it to work.
Related but tangential question:
I've been downloading .avi files for some time now, but QT7 won't play them; I get a dialog saying something about missing components. I go to the QT website, but there's nothing obvious there to download to make .avi files playable. Any help here as what I need to install to get them to play?
I've been happily using VLC, but it seems like it might be nice if QT wasn't thrown off by these files. Plus, then I could use this hint to it's fullest!
Many TIA,
John-o
You need to install the DivX codec (divx.com--I'd get the beta of v6 if you're using QT 7, as v5 has some cosmetic issues with QT7), and probably the 3ivX codec as well--the latter isn't required, but with those two you can play just about anything.
Hey, thanks for the reply, but the Divx site is less than helpful. I finally found the OS X free version, 5.2.1, but the 6 beta that you mention is nowhere to be found (at least by me). Can you help me out one more time with this?
get it from http://download.divx.com/labs/DivXFusionBeta3.dmg
Just for the sake of completeness, besides, as suggested, the DivX codec from divx.com, note that some avi movies contain audio in Dolby Digital 5.1 (codenamed AC3 or AC52), which Mac OS X does not come with an appropriate codec either.
In order to be able to hear the track of those movies you will also need the AC3 QuickTime component from http://www.insaneness.com/
The Droplet accepts mov, mpg, mpeg, mp4, avi, wmv, swf files, converts them to QuickTime media links and then adds the files to iTunes.
Movie2iTunes.zip (about 23 KB)
On the first run you're asked to pick a folder for the 'QuickTime media links' - I have made a new folder in my Movie folder, but you can choose any other folder, too
Thanks! My efforts were coming to nothing. This works great for me.
I'm prompted to find 'GrowlHelperApp.app' when I run this droplet. Do you know what this is, why I need it or where to get it?
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks, Andree. How hard would it be to write an Automator version?
I can't get this to work for me, with or without growl. Trying to bring in a couple of .wmv files, which were actually created on a pc (not mine!). Then again, I can't drag _any_ movies into the iTunes window, not even .mov files. Ideas?
To playback WMV files with QuickTime you'll need WMV Player - the demo version plays the first half of a WMV file only.
Are you using the latest version of QT and iTunes?
--Are you using the latest version of QT and iTunes?--
Yes, both. QT 7.0.3 and iTunes 6.
I have the same lack of success with WMV files and wondered if you found a way to add them to iTunes. After solving the mystery of the avi movies, wmv is my only remaining non-iTunes entertainment folder.
I tried both versions w or w/o growl, but when I drag a movie over the droplet, nothing happens, as if the droplet wasn't recognizing that there was something over it. What am I doing wrong? Running Tiger, Itunes 6, Qt 7 pro.
and btw, when I first starte movie2itunes, it never asked me where I wanted to put the links..
cheers, this looks awesome
Using the latest version with latest Leopard and latest ITunes gives a funny error if I choose a Media folder on a different drive than the Leopard drive. Strange, as in either case, it seems it creates the stub video files and places them in the Media folder correctly, but then doesn't add them to ITunes (though the applet reports that it did).
Seems like a cool applet. Any chance for update to this?

What do you do when iPhoto has been volunteering to communicate with your digi-cam and it now possesses all of your .avi files? It doesn't seem to want to give them up easily.
I can't really believe that I have to open the entrails of iPhoto to root out all the .avi files and then drop the interesting ones to an AppleScript just to then watch them on my new iPod Movie via alia.
This part all seems very un-Applesque.

This part all seems very un-Applesque.Find them in iPhoto and drag them where you want. There's a Movies smart playlist by default.
Sure enough. I was able to drag an AVI from iPhoto to the desktop space, but it still seems a bit incomplete for Apple to not provide some built-in communication between these applications (a la iPhoto to iMovie). It's not very iLife-ish.
I am a big, huge fanatic of the iPhoto library holding all sorts of non-JPG stuff from GIF to TIFF, MOV to AVI, even PSD. It's all there.. I like it!
I've been using Image Capture to import AVI files (to the Movies folder, to organize later) and deleting them from the camera before importing the remaining images into iPhoto.
Hopefully iTunes and iPhoto can eventually share overlapping content since both now support video. Is there a good solution to the underlying issue of these apps having separate libraries? iPhoto can access audio tracks of some videos from the iTunes library (for slideshows) but not the video tracks. And iMovie can access both iTunes and iPhoto libraries. Might iTunes and iPhoto libraries eventually merge into a single 'media content' library that those and other apps can more easily share?
The way you say volunteering, i guess you don't want iPhoto to automatically communicate with your digital cam???
To stop iPhoto 'volunteering' you need to change the settings in Image Capture which you will find in the appications folder.
Saving a movie as self-contained also works (requires QT Pro), and means there's no extra file cluttering up the folder.
Here's a droplet do do the above (save as self contained movie):
I'm sure the bit to add the file to iTunes can be easily added if wanted. This one just saves in the same place as the original and appends '.mov' to the filename.

Seems neither a reference movie nor a QuickTime Movie Link file will 'share' with another iTunes library.
In other words, they will play fine on your local machine, but if you share playlists with another Mac on your network these files will not show up, unfortunately. I have tried mounting all the drives where the original movie files reside on my MacPro, still nothing shows up in the MacBook iTunes shared list from the MacPro. Full video files that are .mov or mp4 show up, just not any reference movies or qtml movie files.
This other hint claims that the qtml method -- provided the source file drives are mounted on the local machine -- will stream the videos. I have not found this to be true. I hope someone can prove me wrong as I would love for this to work.
Also, be forewarned that the qtml files will not reference the original files if you move the original movie files. However, the 'reference movie' option will.
My bad, the other hint was not referring to a qtl Media Link file, but rather re-saving the movie with a .mov container.
