Last night the thumb drive worked great. I copied my bookmarks from my PC to the new Macbook. Then I erased the thumb drive so I could do the same with the program I want to move from my PC to the new Macbook.
Any help will be appreciated.  |
If you erased he thumb drive you probably erased the file system too. You need to reformat the drive so that both PC and Mac can read it. "Attach the drive to your Mac.
Launch Disk Utility (from Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility).
Select the drive in the left-hand sidebar.
Click Erase.
From the Format menu, select ExFAT.
From the Scheme menu, select Master Boot Record.
Click Erase and follow prompts to confirm."
