Thanks for being patient with my question.

Ed.

I’d appreciate if you can give me some feedback on our iphone app iLightFarts

I realize that you are iphone app guru :) It’d be swell if you can place an honest review of our app.

Thank you,
Pam

Most likely RW mounts are not the default either because of the license issues or because it’s not stable, so I wouldn’t recommend doing this if you care about your data integrity. In my case I successfully renamed the volume and changed its icon with no apparent ill effects, but I didn’t particularly care about the drive in question.

I’m not sure why the unbridled bitterness from you? Seems you have a wee chip on your shoulder, sir? In any case, Microsoft *does* allow other OS’s to natively leverage NTFS compatibility if (and only if) the relevant licenses are acquired. Apple obviously aren’t in a hurry to pay Microsoft for licensing NTFS functionality in Mac OS, but we can always live in hope!

There is a strong argument that a licensing deal of this kind would be in the best interest of both companies; but I shall leave that to another article you might want to summarily rubbish at a later date! :-)

Thanks for reading!

By this statement alone it shows that you don’t know what you are talking about. The reason Apple does not have read/write access to NTFS is not because apple does not want to include the ability it is because MICROSOFT DOES NOT ALLOW ANY OS other than Microsoft’s own OS’s to read/write to it. This is why MacOS, UNIX, LINUX, SUN, etc will not write with out a third party solution. You might want to look into things before you write such nonsense. You do not need a third party solution to write to NTFS over a network share however.
