Is there any drive (I want something that's at least 2TB for future use) that will be able to transfer my pictures and videos from my Mac to a Windows computer, and vice versa? Is there any way that I can get this My Book to work with Windows 8 now that I've used it for my Mac? If not, it's going back ASAP. At this point, I'm very frustrated, I don't have enough money to spend an arm and a leg on hard drive. The device is recognized when plugged in but in no way can he open the external hard drive to see any pictures or videos, or anything for that matter. So here's my problem, before I even attempted to clean off all the pictures and videos from my Mac, I wanted to make sure I could see them on the drive from my husbands Lenovo laptop which runs on Windows 8. All I need off the Mac is the pictures and videos and I must be able to move them safely to another computer, if I want to. Honestly, I didn't want to back up my whole computer, I didn't need to. Setting up and backing up My Book with Time Machine seemed to be a breeze and I can see all of the items on it that I need to. These pictures and videos are filling up my memory and I can't seem to do much else with the whole 10GB I have free.
The only reason I need this is to move my 2,000+ pictures and 100+ videos off my Mac and keep them safe. Today I bought a 3TB My Book external hard drive.
