Why is a USB stick locked on Mac?
On a Windows PC with an SSD, I was able to save files to the SSD and copy and save them to a USB stick, but on another colleague's PC, I couldn't save files to the USB stick. Is there a problem somewhere? My colleague's laptop is a Mac or Apple. Is it due to the USB stick's formatting or a setting?
Why is that?

Loading...I have a Sachs moped and the engine runs but the power transfer from the engine to the wheel doesn't work because of the clutch, but I don't know exactly why. I have the feeling that the problem is with the clutch basket because the gear on the clutch basket can rotate freely in both…
Hi everyone, I know the internet is full of this question. However, the many possible solutions have created a mess, and I can't get any further. I don't want to destroy my VM.

Hello, I built my first PC yesterday. So far, everything has worked perfectly, except for one thing. I can only enable the AMD EXPO profile on my first RAM stick via BIOS, the one on the second one is grayed out for some reason and cannot be selected (just like the XMP profile, but that's…
Last Sunday, I was able to play all my games normally on my PC. I haven't turned it on for a week, and now I can't install any more games or updates. Strangely, it only doesn't work on my (D) drive. I've already checked the drive for damage, and I can start the games on…
Hello.. I'd like to know where I can find the IP address in an email I received from a Gmail sender. This should stay the same on every device, right? Is the device's IP displayed there? And another question would be, apart from the date of the sent email there is suddenly a different date…
If it is a small file, format the USB stick as FAT or as exFAT, as larger files can be saved on it. Both of these formats are also supported by macOS and saves your colleague to install additional software such as Paragon NTFS for Mac.
Both NTFS (Microsoft) and APFS (Apple) are proprietary file systems and therefore do not work easily on/under other systems. Therefore, it is always useful and advisable to choose a format (file system) that is already natively supported by all platforms. In this case FAT and exFAT.

Thanks for helpful help and good knowledgeable advice.
I’ll look at it right away and format it correctly, but save the data before.
It is not locked, it is formatted in a format that can only be read for Windows (NTFS).
You can install a program on Mac that makes FAT readable.
Really? Apple can’t get FAT? Even my smartphone can!
Not Apple, but macOS. And yet, with additional software, it can.
On Windows you can also not read macOS formatting so much to lol.
Bullshit! The FAT format is supported by all (!) running operating system, be it Windows, Linux or macOS. Only Microsoft’s proprietary NTFS cannot be read and/or described under macOS without additional software.
Okay, then I’m calmed. I trust Apple everything.
(Also NTFS can read and write my Linux without additional 😝)
Hoppla, just see that I’ve confused FAT and NTFS. Sorry!
Of course, macOS can read FAT. Sorry:D
The latter is well known to me. It doesn’t matter to me as a Linux user. I can read and write everything without additional software. It’s all right. Saving a colleague who had his data on a macOS USB stick, but Windows didn’t want it. I could simply copy this and park it on a FAT32-formatted USB stick.
But FAT is almost the backbone of IT.
And yes, sorry. Apple != macOS. iPadOS and iOS cannot handle USB devices at all – as far as my last experience with it.
Is incomprehensible how to develop software that is so user-friendly.
This is due to formatting.
