NTFS support on El Capitan [duplicate]
Solution 1:
To enable NTFS write support on OS X 10.11 El Capitan or macOS 10.12 Sierra.
Install latest osxfuse (3.x.x) from https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/releases. (you don't need MacFUSE Compatibility Layer) or from Homebrew with
brew cask install osxfuse.Install latest NTFS-3G (2016.2.22) from Homebrew. (you need Xcode)
As follow:
brew install ntfs-3g
- Link NTFS-3G to boot after temporary disabling System Integrity Protection.
As follow:
[reboot by holding CMD+R to get in recovery mode]
csrutil disable
[reboot normally]
sudo mv /sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs.original
sudo ln -s /usr/local/sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs
[reboot by holding CMD+R to get in recovery mode]
csrutil enable
[reboot normally]
You will get those instructions from this wiki page as well: https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/wiki/NTFS-3G
Solution 2:
Not just in El Capitan. That's been the standard behaviour of OS X in regards to NTFS since at least 10.4 (which is the first version I used): you can read, but you can't write.
In addition to the solutions mentioned above, you can also try NTFS-3G. Or, if you want to go the other way, there's an app called MacDrive for Windows which allows your PC to read Mac-formatted disks.
