Ventura 13.4 Update Problem Writing to Seagate Drive

After updating to Venture 13.4 on my MacBook Pro, I'm no longer able to write to my Seagate Drive - this drive is formatted Windows NTFS.


There were no other software updates other than what happens when Apple updates an IOS.


Is there a fix to make it writable again?

Follow previous advise First


FYI - if the Software came Bundled with the Manufactures Drive as new, their Software is probable out dated or not fully compatible with Ventura 13.4


NTFS formatted drives are Readable on macOS but are not a Writeable, as this is not Native Apple Drive format


It will require Third Party compatible Software to achieve this.

I've been writing to this Seagate drive from my MacBook Pro for years (it's not a new drive or MacBook)- it's just the new IOS update that has rendered it unwritable.

I'm still able to write to this drive on another MacBook Pro that hasn't been updated to 13.4; however, at some point that machine will need to be updated too.

thanks for the advice above

1 - This in Bold all dovetails into the Third Party Software that makes the NTFS formatted drive Writable


2 - " I've been writing to this Seagate drive from my MacBook Pro for years "


3 - Was the computer also running Ventura for Years ?


4 - Ventura was only released Oct 24, 2022 less than 1 year ago.


5 - Has the Third Party Software every been updated to match the Version of macOS ( not iOS for iDevices ) it is running Now ?
