Windows Folder Name Cannot Transfer To Mac.

[robsvoyage]

Howdy,

Loving Mac. Have transferred virtually everything from Windows to it. BUT I have 2 folders in Music which cannot be recognized due to European spelling in the folder name:

DJ Tiësto

and

Röyksopp

In Mac, I cannot rename these folders (application unknown error) nor can I view them in Finder ...

Can someone please let me know how to modify the folder names or make a global change so that the European characters are recognized???

Thanks for your help!

Rob

Where are you transferring those files from? If you are reading an NTFS drive on your Mac computer, you can...

Get this: MacFuse.
Then, get this: NTFS-3G.

And then you can modify the folder names on your Mac.

Hello,


Thanks for a quick reply.

All my Music folders originated from a NTFS drive. I have installed the TUXERA NTFS program on my Mac, registered version, which works a charm except for the transfer (copy / paste) of these two particular folders.

When I access the NTFS drive to rename the folders, it just can't be done.

I suppose a simple solution is to bring the drive to a Windows PC and rename them, then transfer them...

Thanks for your time!

Regards.

How about just transferring the contents of the folders to two new folders on your mac?
