You can get software to allow your mac to read NTFS from a company called Paragon. It is $20, but you can run it free for 10 days as a demo. Install it, copy your stuff. then you can remove it. It works.

Thanks. But I think I’ll try the other suggestion, at least this time around. Plus that free trial may be a size-limited, or otherwise restricted, version of the program.
