Formatting a Card on a Macintosh

In some cases, your device may not have a format option, or you may be required or prompted to format a card. To format a digital media card in the Universal Reader/Writer, follow the steps below.

Caution: Formatting a card completely erases any data stored on the card. If there are important images or files you want to safeguard for later use, save a backup copy on your hard drive, CD-R drive, or other type of removable media before formatting a card.
