Most USB Flash drives in Windows are formatted using the FAT or FAT32 file systems. These file systems can be read and written on a Mac. if you use NTFS on the drive, however, the Mac will not be able to read them without additional software.

Will flash drive work in mac then on pc?

When you buy a flash drive it is already formatted in a way that Windows can understand. The good news is that Macs can understand it too. So you can use a Mac to save files onto the flash drive and then read them on a Windows PC, or the other way round, no problem. If you used Disk Utility on the Mac to format the flash drive, then there is a chance that Windows won't be able to read it. So don't do that unless you know what you are doing.

Why is your flash drive not being recognized on your mac?

There are many reasons why your USB flash drive may be not recognised by your Mac, one of the following may apply; - Incorrectly formatted flash drive - Damaged flash module - Corrupted data - USB flash drive detection disabled on your account You should try and use your flash drive on another computer to see if the problem lies with the flash drive, or your Mac. If the flash drive works on another computer, you should check your system permissions, contact your system administrator, or check that the actual flash drive isn't being detected using Disk Utility. If the flash drive does not work on another computer (try both Windows and Mac OS computers), the problem most likely lies in the flash drive itself and should probably be repaired and/or replaced.
