HOW TO FORMAT AN SD CARD ON MAC OS X

FORMAT ON MAC OS X:

* *Insert the SD card*. Use either an internal SD card port or a USB card reader. If you are using a MicroSD card, you will need an adapter that allows it to plug into a standard SD card port.

  * The SD card will mount automatically onto your desktop when inserted.
  * 2*Open the Disk Utility*. You can find the Disk Utility program in the Utilities folder in your Applications. Select the SD card from the list of drives in the left frame.

  * 3*Erase the SD card data*. Select the Erase tab in the main window after selecting your SD card. Select FAT32 from the Volume Format dropdown menu and enter a name for the SD card in the Name field. Click Erase… when you are ready to format. Disk Utility will ask you to confirm.

  * Formatting the SD card will erase all of the data stored on it. Be sure that you have made backups of any important files before formatting.
