Example errors: - NTFS-3G could not mount - /Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/Support/fusefs.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) link error; check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8). - the MacFuse file system is not available

Cause: It is because the official version of MacFUSE being distributed is not compatible with new Mac's as Apple have changed the default kernel from 32-bit to 64-bit and the version of MacFUSE is 32-bit not 64-bit (MacFUSE itself hasn't been updated by the primary maintainer which makes things hard).

Workaround: Try installing this version from Tuxera: http://www.tuxera.com/mac/macfuse-core-10.5-2.1.9.dmg

Tried the sources listed above when the version shipped with LaCie's Wuala cloud drive failed to install. Suspect it was the 32/64 bit problem with the original program. Since I'm using Os 10.5.8, I tried the version above. I got another error message that the media was damaged and I should contact Tuxera... will do so after I try a second DL ( and it fails?)

This worked for me SL 64bit

As of MacFuse 2.0, the entire stack is available in 64-bit. Not sure about TrueCrypt, but you don't seem to be getting that far anyhow, probably because the default MacFuse build is broken. You can download a hopefully fixed 64-bit MacFuse at http://static.caurea.org/MacFUSE/MacFUSE-2.1.7.dmg"

Thanks Angela, the version you linked to works for me and solves the same issue for me.

I was going to try that but didn't like the idea of going back a version, at first. I finally tried this and it worked like a charm: http://www.tuxera.com/mac/macfuse-core-10.5-2.1.9.dmg

Hope this helps someone else.

This one worked for me too :-)

Thank jmevalen ....... Like you said, it worked like a charm

Thank you all. 2.1.9 works for me on Mac OS X 10.8.2

Thanks a million. As you say "like a charm" on Mac OS X 10.8.2

Hi guys, I am using OS X 10.8.5. This works like a charm. Now i can read/write the external drives. However after 15 sec this message pop up on the desktop screen. I think this is because the drives system become slower when trying to connect with the updated system of my mac . Do you think i just close, ignore the message and continue life as normal.

NTFS-3G could not mount /dev/disk1s1 at /Volumes/SEAGATE 1 because the following problem occurred:
