Formatting a Card on a Macintosh
Sometimes it may be more convenient to format a digital media card in the Universal
Reader/Writer rather than in your original digital device. 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.
