Hi Swordmaker, all
I tried reformatting the SD card on a PC at the local library (my PC at home no longer is reading SD cards) and was told their computers are not set up for that function. Do you, or anyone else, know if the card can be formatted to FAT32, or whatever format(s) it is that can be read by BOTH Windows PCs and Apple products, by way of a tablet or Samsung smartphone? I did attempt to do it on my Lenovo tablet yesterday, but the tablet did not indicate which format it was converted to. How can I check which format the card is currently in? Thanks.
...forgot to mention, when I attempted the reformat on the tablet, there were no options for specific formats. Only format. I assume this means the card was formatted to work on the tablet. Perhaps that is a format that will work with both a PC and MacBook? But since it doesn’t indicate which format it is, I won”t know until I try it again in my friend’s MacBook. Again, is there a way to check what format the card currently is in?
Ping to my last two posts. Thanks in advance. :)
Your home PC can’t read the card at all now? Or does it show up in My Computer as a greyed out icon that you just can’t click? If it’s greyed out, you should still be able to format it. Or, if you have access to it, the Mac should be able to format it as well with the option to do ‘PC-readable’, or maybe it’ll give you the exFAT/FAT32 option (assuming you already backed up the contents earlier?).
If it’s not seeing the card at all, earlier you mentioned it’s a micro-SD card if I remember right? Try pulling it out of the regular SD adaptor, then put it back in? Try another adaptor? Does your PC still see other cards?
otherwise what Thunder said in 58 is correct.
