    How do I deal with "._*" files when I need to give a flash drive to a Windows user?

    My client likes to receive his files on a flash drive. I have a Mac Pro (2020, Monterey). He has Windows. I remember that Mac adds those extra files that are visible on Windows (._*, .Trashes, etc.). I'd like to hand my client a "clean" set of files without having to explain the extra Mac files...

    Flash drive frequently disconnecting

    I am trying to install a 13.6GB .dmg file to a 32GB flash drive, but the flash drive will occasionally disconnect and stop the file transfer. It will usually stay available for a few minutes after plugging in, but not long enough to transfer the file (it usually fails at about 200MB or earlier...

    iPad Which unpowered flash drive to use with iPadOS and lightning?

    Hi! I’m using a 10.5 inch iPad Pro. Does anyone have any luck using Apple’s USB 3 Camera adapter with a flash drive without power? I heard that adding a USB hub between the Adapter and the iPad may help prevent power warnings. Thanks!

    All iPads All Things iPadOS File System Thread

    What does everyone think? Some time back it was rumoured that we'd see enhanced functionality with the USB-C port, and many took that to mean we'll be able to use external storage.

    Flash drive to back up iPad docs (not just photos)

    I was disappointed to find that the SanDisk iXpand can only copy photos and videos from the iPad. I’m hoping that this isn’t a limitation imposed by Apple. I’m a creative pro and need to back up large Procreate and Affinity Photo docs. Yes, I can back up to the cloud, but upload is slow over...

    Hello,, I just bought a new iMac 20,5" 2017 model. I portioned my disk so I could install Mac OS X Lion on the other one. I made a bootable flash disk (Using disk utility, carbon copy cloner,...) using different tutorial so I guess the flash disk is fine. When I try to boot up from the flash...

    Kingston 2 TB Flash Drive Announced

    Now this is a winner! A 2 TB flash drive with USB 3.0 and extreme weather capabilities. I could see this replacing more than a few external HD's, if the price is right. I'd certainly give it a try. I've used Kingston RAM over the years and never had any issues, hopefully this product will be...

    [EDIT: I'm no longer having this problem. I erased the USB drive in Disk Utility, which caused it to mount. However, now it's not showing up on the Windows laptop I'm using, which seems like a problem outside the scope of this forum. I may just transfer my files another way. Thanks to those who...
