Hi all,
Generally I try to look up other posts and forums to find solutions to my problems, but I really couldn't find this specific issue anywhere! So I hope someone can help....
Need to download data off my old Macbook OS 10.5, so I bought a HP 32GB usb flash drive. When inserted, the mac recognises it's there, but when I tried to transfer some files, even just an individual jpeg, it says there is no free space. When I click on "get info" for the drive, it doesn't show any capacity whatsoever. I formatted it in Disk Utility, and in there is shows the full capacity of about 30GB. But when going back to the drive either on desktop or in finder, it still doesn't show any capacity/space. And when I say "no capacity" it doesn't say "zero" it just has a dash.
When I inserted flash drive into my new Macbook OS 10.11, it works fine, so the flash drive isn't corrupted or faulty!.... I checked on packaging and it does say that the flash drive should be compatible with Macs 10.3 and above! It is really frustrating, so any ideas on what I could try would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
