FAT32 doesn’t work on flash drives. It has always been that way. Not sure if this is a Mac thing, but I think it is the same on Windows. Your choices are standard FAT, or Extended XFAT. I’d go with XFAT because it will allow for larger file sizes. HTH - Brad - On Mar 28, 2020, at 13:22, ⁨Ram

Hi, When I used the word "wipe", yes, that is the same as erase. So, go into Disk Utility on the Mac, locate and select the USB stick, then erase it. FAT32 should be fine, or EXFAT would work as well. Later... Tim Kilburn Jamf Certified Tech Apple Teacher (with Swift Playgrounds Recognitio

Hi, Format your USB drive and don't use quite format for this. Also go to the properties and adjust it for best performance, rather than quick removal. And hopefully this will fix the problem. Pramit On Thu, Mar 26, 2020 at 9:05 PM Ramy Moustafa wrote: > Hi all: > Hope everyone is safe. > This

Hi, How often are you replacing files on this device? If often, and you are adding, deleting, emptying the Trash lots, then this often happens. I suggest you use Disk Utility to wipe the drive again which should get rid of directory structure issues that may be slowing things down. Later...
