On the left side of the window are the drives connected to the computer. Select the capacity of the drive respective to the one containing the device you wish to format then click the Erase tab. Example: If the drive is called 'NO NAME', directly above that, you should see the drive capacity of 'XXXX'. Select this capacity.

Good evening all, Every Thursday evening I attend a photography group. Sometimes this involves entering photographs for different events. I am having trouble with my usb stick, Kingston DataTraveler 100 g3 64gb. I am okay down loading the images onto the usb from my mac, os sierra version 10.12.3 but the do not appear on the groups laptop, windows 10. I have tried formatting it a number of times and comprimised on a EXFAT choice with a partition. However this is quite frustrating as I can see both partitions on my mac but only one on a pc.

The pc partition also shows up greenlines! There are none on the mac side. All I want to do is to download images and occassionally AV's (audio visuals) from my mac onto the usb stick and for the laptop at the photography group to read/show them, does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance Regards Wendy Martin. What formats work on a PC and how you view photos on a PC is a PC support question not a Mac support question The way you reformat a volume on a Mac is using Disk Utility In general any FAT format should work on both a PC and a Mac as I understand it (not from personal experience for from others) - and again in general if you select photos in Photos and export them (file menu ==> export) to a desktop folder then drat that folder to a FAT formatted USB stick you should be able to use those photos on either a Mac or a PC if you know how to use the PC LN.

How to screenshot on google chrome for mac. I have tried two different Windows 10 laptops and they both do not recognize the FAT USB disk and says that it needs to be formatted. How can I format a disk on my Mac that can be read in a Windows 10 computer? The general answer is FAT 32 - if that is not working on Windowes then you need to contact MS support - it is not a Photos for Mac issue sin any way.
