How To Format And Use a USB Flash Drive On Your Mac
You can use pretty much any USB flash drive with your Mac. But be sure to buy one with the right connection type, either USB-A or USB-C, or get one that has both. Most drives are preformatted for Windows, so you probably want to reformat it for your Mac. You can add and remove files from a USB flash drive using the Finder. Be sure to eject the drive first before phsyically disconnecting it.

Thanks Gary. We're trying to format a bunch of USB A/C 3.0 drives for our Mac club. We want them to also be able to read on an iPad. Would ExFAT GUID be the best format? Do we format both the partition and the main thumbdrive levels the same? We're having problem with very slow transfer (30 – 40 min for 9 GB) or running First aid on the partition and coming up with Unable to unmount. Sometimes drive doesn't show on desktop. Is it how we're formatting or the drives? Thank you. We're so confused!
Where’s ntfs ?
How do you drag around files and folders, and still keep them in the same position that you put them in when you put the USB back in? It automatically puts them in rows and columns again when I unplug it and put it back in, versus the custom positions I need them in to organize them.
Very informative. I was very surprised on how you made the video with all the information. Thank you
Thanks
I still can't find this USB disk anywhere, why ? tnx
YOU ARE A GOD. THANKS MAN!! 😀 Been at this for over an hour.
A bit long to get to the point of trying to format a usb stick. 3.3o & still no information yet!
Nothing you ever show me is how I see it. Very rare I learn anything
to reformat you didn't say how to get out of the erase without erasing, you jumped to another subject, I don't want to erase the flash drive I need to reformat it so it will play on other devices other than my Mac
Great help, a lot more than just how to format. All I needed was the format, but very helpful, thank you.
Thank you Gary!!! Huge help!!!!
As a 70 year old male and PC user up to now, I want to THANK YOU!! I'm subscribed and will watch more of your videos.
Gary, you are so helpful.
Good video. I'm trying to figure out how to download a large file directly to my external flash drive? I have minimal space left on my MacBook and so with to download a large file direct to flash drive. Really confused how to do this on a Mac, used to be a PC user….Can you assist?
next time go straight to the point!!!!
Great explanation buddy, not to fast and showed me options i didn't know look forward to watch the other video's
Hello macmostvideo thanks for getting back so quickly, appreciate the advice. I use a USB to play movies on for my elderly mother. Is there a different format I could use perhaps?? I bought her a new Smart TV and usually with a 32GB USB no problem and it plays most formats. I just wanted to get something a little bit bigger so I did'nt have to erase it so many time. Really do appreciate your help
Many thanks Para742
SKIP to min 5:00 this guys talk to much
Hello there, I have a 2TB USB and I have changed the settings to MS-DOS Fat32 so I can play movies on my TV, however, the drive only takes a certain amount and then other folders I put across appear empty and no files can be shown or seen (but space is taken up??) I never have issues with other smaller size USB's at this setting. I got the larger size to lessen the amount of times I have to erase the smaller sizes. Can you offer any advice on how to fix this issue please. I have searched everywhere on youtube and I have come up blank. By the way, this is for a mac computer. Many Thanks
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I CAN FINALLY SAVE MY IBOOK G3 SNOW! Edit: How Do I Put .ISO Files On It???
I don’t have location
"MAN IS BRILLIANT!" Thanks for helping my sorry old ass out of the USB swamp. #1 Macs are to damned expensive! #2 They sure do make things easy. Those of us with slightly elevated (neanderthal DNA base pairs than most : ) Those over 50-60 have a difficult time fathoming the Niagara Falls of new technology at the same rate of learning. Worth noting? They are more likely to be less socially engaged. They often miss the constant flow of shared information of busier days. They are most definitely not stupid, just retired, gone fishing, cruising, or in the case of so many seniors shopping at the super discount store for sustenance etc. Happens all the time.. They're statistically more likely to be isolated from the (MASS) of communicators : Youth / students in high school /universities / workplaces, / social media sites / sewers of every sort. Some are at least civilized , but theres lots of poison garbage out there, and I'm not the church lady. Seniors need help recording the millions of songs that make up all our lives. You shouldn't have to listen to country music just because your in white supremest Idaho, or Heavy metal just because your old car radio can only get one station. : ) There's (MONEY ) to be made for people looking for a good legal socially beneficial way to make money honestly and make and old farts day. "Because the rocky mountain way is better than the way we had " : – ) set up a mobile or centralized little shop where people can bring their own flash drive to be loaded "FOR THEM" with songs purchased by license. To many seniors; it's just plain tech torture. Loading songs for them Makes their life easier, and you make a buck or two, ("reasonable profit"). Everybody's happy.
Oh my God Gary! Astonishing work! You showed me what I needed to know and more. That command key tip is gonna go a long way for what I was trying to get done. Tysm! 🤙
