[QUOTE="AZAA, post: 1595643, member: 329920"] Hi thanks for the responses. @Nick - trying to copy files on the USB on my laptop, and then save them to my Mac. The Mac recognises that when the USB is inserted but doesn't recognise any of the files that were saved to it. Files are predominantly Word, Excel, PDF, Powerpoint, JPG. I initially 'Erased' it on the MAC in FAT, but when I inserted into the Windows laptop, it asked me to install encryption on the USB. Does that make any difference? @Lifeisabeach - thanks; umm...I don't really understand what you're telling me from the second sentence onward - sorry, I'm not technically minded when it comes to these things (despite my ability to get into the correct forum :)) [/QUOTE]
