Hello everyone, Saving the drama of switching from Mac to Windows (sigh), I've decided on purchasing the Surface Pro 4. What I need to know if there is a safe program that exists to install on a Surface Pro 4 (Windows 10) that will allow it to read the Mac Time Machine backups file on my external hard drive so I can extract my iTunes content and save onto the Surface Pro 4. I don't have a Mac Book available (logic board kaputz) so I am looking for a viable option to do this without the use of a Mac. Thanks in advance! Hello, Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this. Unfortunately there is no such application in Windows to read MAC files on an external hard drive. The 8 best external hard drives and SSDs for Mac and PC users in 2018 By Matt Hanson 2018-12-06T17:00:58Z Graphic design If you have lots of creative work to store, making sure you have the best external hard drive or SSD for your Mac or PC is essential.

RossmanRepairGroup.com repaired my MacBook Pro which I am using right now. How can i transfer my files from mac to PC? I borrowed my girlfriend's PC and I searched the net and I was able to download a program called Fat32Formatter. Very simple file you just unzip and run. Use internet explorer on mac. It doesn't even install anything on your computer. The format of the external hard drive took 30 hours. I now have 1 TB of Fat32!! So it was well worth the wait. Just leave it running until it is done. I have transferred all my music, pics, etc to my external drive from the mac and i was able to access and USE those same files on my girl's PC (which is Windows 8 btw). In summary: I was never ab;e to get the PC to read from a Mac format HFS drive. I needed both the Mac and a PC to get the job done. Just get a hard drive formatted as FAT32 and you can plug it into a Mac, get your files and plug it into a PC. And you're done. The tough step here is finding the Fat32Formatter that will format the whole drive THIS IS WHAT I USED: NOTE: This program only works on Windows/PC Good Luck everyone! I don't get it. If you format the external drive, wouldn't you lose all the files in it? Anyway, for anyone who is having the same issue, I was searching for this same issue (reading files in a Mac formatted drive from Windows 10) and found HFSExplorer. Have not tried it yet, but description says it can read only (the files in you Mac formatted external hard drive). This way, although not being able to edit or write, you can at least copy the files to Windows. Just not sure about files inside Time Machine backups. Hope it helps.
