Quick time should work fine.

I may have misunderstood or didn't frame question correctly.

I want to copy movies onto this ext drive from my macbook to include iTunes HD Movies that I would take DRM off of. Then with "some" app on iPhone, connect this ext drive to my iPhone using a USB to Lightening adapter. The app would allow me to see the movies on the drive and play them thru the USB cable on my iPhone.

I don't need wireless, so don't need to purchase the more expensive wireless version of this. And the WD Cloud app on App Store says it only works with the My Passport wireless.

The movies would be mp4/m4v format. I just don't know if the iOS app for the wireless will work on this drive and allow my iPhone to see and play the movies.

Thanks

It is not the hardware rather the media format your file is in. For iOS you need MP4/M4V then you can watch on the device (load files into iTunes). I just completed a project of ripping ~400 DVD/Blu Ray into iTunes and now I can watch on any of my devices or stream in my home or sync to a mobile device for offline viewing

Plug it into your Mac, open (Applications->Utilities) Disk Utility, select drive, format.

c010:~ root# diskutil eraseDisk
Usage: diskutil eraseDisk format name [APM[Format]|MBR[Format]|GPT[Format]]
MountPoint|DiskIdentifier|DeviceNode
Completely erase an existing whole disk. All volumes on this disk will be
destroyed. Ownership of the affected disk is required.
Format is the specific file system name you want to erase it as (HFS+, etc.).
Name is the (new) volume name (subject to file system naming restrictions),
or can be specified as %noformat% to skip initialization (newfs).
You cannot erase the boot disk.
Example: diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ UntitledUFS disk3

e.g.
diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ UntitledUFS /dev/disk2
or
diskutil eraseDisk "MS-DOS FAT32" WILDCARD /dev/disk2

YES it is.

You can order it on-line and choose pick up at store, enter Beaumont and you will be told the date it will be available for pick up. I am near the Beaumont store too and I always have a pleasant experience there!

This shows available.
Great drive.

I had this issue as well. What I found out was that there was an error in pricing with this model. There are a couple listing for the same item. They just pulled the one that had the pricing error and shows as unavailable. Please search for the product name and you will see the item available for sale.

I would absolutely recommend the passport!

I would only do it if you're using a USB 3.0 port.

Yes

Yes you can. Just one after the other, not at the same time

It probably means you have to pick it up at a Best Buy store.

Try typing in a zip code if shipping is not available and see if it's available at your local store
