Use the Mac OS included "Disk Utility" application. Choose the MacOS Extended format if you're Mac-only. Otherwise use FAT32 if you must share with windows. Note, if you want to use it with Time Machine you will need at least one partition to be MacOS Extended formatted.

You can also format it as exFat. It will support Windows and Mac that way. Ironically, it will not support Xbox 360.

I formatted it for my Mac G5. Don't remember if it was formatted when it arrived, but regardless you can format it for your needs like I did.

Go to menu/set button, then scroll down to "Setup"(wrench icon) scroll through all the set-up items. Toward the end you will see "Format". Press that, and voila.

I believe you can format it for PC even though it was designed for mac. I have 350 of it designated as a mac partition and 50 of it designated as a PC partition, just in case I have to store something from a PC. You can check the LaCie website for more information.

Yes you can. When you go to format it make sure you set it to be used on both macs and pcs.

I'm sorry, but I don't use Macs. It produces .mov-files. Should not be a problem with Macs.

If you're running a mac, use the disk utility to see what format it is. If you need to reformat it you can use FAT32 or MAC OS Journaled. http://macs.about.com/od/applications/ss/diskutilformat.htm

The one for the Mac, no - it's formatted for Mac only. If you get the Windows version, then it should work for both.

Hi Stephen. All my systems are Mac. Therefore I have not tried using a PC format.

I'm a Mac user not Windows. However, I believe it does not matter what system you are running as long as it's formatted correctly.

After connecting the HD to the Mac, go to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility. Open DU and select the drive (you should see it in the left pane of the window along with all other drives attached to the Mac). Select "Partition" and create 1 or 2 partitions. Format the drive as HFS+ Journaled and this will format the drive for the Mac. May I suggest clicking on "Help" in the finder and do some research.Hope this helps.

I'm not familiar with Mac, but I think the problem is that you can not keep changing the format. I would advise that if it works on one of those, use it for that and purchase a new one for the other. The problem today is that programs and computers update too fast and the older ones become obsolete. Hope that helps.
