How To Format An SD Card

[andrewmorfett]

It's guys like you that make using the internet - and computing in general - less scary for those of us who are not particularly tech savvy. Thank you for taking the time to make and post the videos.

Thanks, Techinsider, I'm a college grad, BA & MA, but I need specialists like you to help me with tech stuff. That's because I'm totally disinterested in the quarks & kinks of digital science. The good news is that you are available at a few clicks of a button. I formatted my SD card with no difficulty once I clicked on the folders icon. I'll subscribe to your channel as a reward for helping me.

Okay, I got to the Disk Utility app, but I don't see the SD card on the Mac screen anywhere. Something is missing.

Do you have to format a memory card before using it in a camera?

[domenicsandri]

Before flashing an image onto an SD card, is it necessary to format the card first or does the flashing process take care of that?
