After updating my Mac OS El Capitan, my Seagate External HDD is now READ-ONLY mode. OMG!

Let's try to make this short:

Before updating my El Capitan, I was able to Write/Delete/Read on my Seagate 1TB External USB HDD disk. After updating my Mac OS El Capitan, I am not able to Write Move Delete any files or folder in my Seagate 1TB External USB HDD.

Okay, let's make it work now. All you need to do is to download the file that can be found at Seagate website. You don't need to buy it even if it's from Paragon https://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/. Basically, when you go to Paragon site, you need to purchase it or you can try it for 10 days.

Since you already bought the Seagate and it was working before the update, all you need is download the version from Seagate Site which is this link http://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/item/ntfs-driver-for-mac-os-master-dl and of course you need to click the I Accept

Taaadddaaa!!!! Now click the Download.

Note before Installing it MAKE SURE THAT YOUR SEAGATE HDD is ATTACHED to your COMPUTER, and then now INSTALL IT. After installing the NTFS_for_Mac_14.0.456.dmg file. It requires you to RESTART your Mac system.

Good luck and happy Seagate... ing!
