There in a diffrent formate on my mates Passport one that works on my tv and on my mac i am not gonna convert all my files back on to my passport.

Any help? is this somthing to do with my passports formate?

soulman,

Microsoft Windows NTFS and Apple Mac OS HFS are not compatible. One of the disk drives would need to be formatted (Erased) to FAT32 or exFAT in order to apply a configuration that is neutral between the two systems. This does not guarantee TV compatibility as power requirements need to be considered as well.
