Q: Limitless is not future (mac os) apple team is awsm.

why your team is not working to make mac os more universal and personal computing so that it can easily share files through flash drive from other os(windows specially),using such os(mac) keep me in between four walls its not professional in any sense.when i format any pendrive using mac os than its become easy to copy big files  or any other files to that pendrive. "As i say in capital letters" BUT when i use same pendrive to copy that file in any pc ruuning on windows its shows no files even my pendrive capacity reduce to 200mb is this freedom . Now your team say that its policy of our company so that no virus or bugs come to your mac os , my opinion is, put those viruses in between those four walls not users. so that user can invent or create something that is not limitless and i am assuring that the day is not far when every user become mac user.

OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

    If you wish to transfer files between Mac and PC via flash drive; using the Mac's disk utility app, format the flash drive as FAT32 or exFAT. The advantage of using exFAT is that you aren't limited to 4gb per file.

    The Mac can read and write almost every file format of every well-behaved Operating System in existence today.

     

    One format, Windows New Technology File System (NTFS) cannot be Written completely reliably, so Mac OS X does not Write that format, but can Read it just fine.

     

    Windows computers do not believe there are any other Operating Systems in existence, and they read no other File Formats but their own.

     

    You are complaining at the wrong vendor. The problem you described is a Windows Problem.

    A PC does not read Mac OS files. Except maybe jpgs or giff file and some audio and video files. If you want that to happen formate the pen drive to FAT or EXFAT. This will work for Mac and Windows.

    I have already tried those features before. I know what FAT32 or exFAT do exactly but the problem its reduce the capacity of the flash drive ( whether it is brand new or old flash drive) and big problem is that after copying files through MacBook successfully it's not showing any files in windows PC. I do reverse thing also, I format the flash drive through windows PC and copy some big files in Pendrive and then same pen drive use in MacBook it works smoothly and easily copy the files into mac os but when I copy or sent some file(small or big whether it is  document, photo etc) in the same Pendrive through mac os it does not give permission to copy the file into Pendrive.it means mac os is lagging and such os make me feel like bounded in wires... ooooo

    after copying files through MacBook successfully it's not showing any files in windows PC.

    That is because Windows does not read Mac OS X extended format drives. That is a shortcoming of Windows.

    but when I copy or sent some file [...] in the same Pendrive [in Windows NTFS format] through mac os it does not give permission to copy the file into Pendrive

    That is because Mac OS X cannot reliably Write NTFS format, so it does not allow WRITE to an NTFS Volume

    I know what FAT32 or exFAT do exactly but the problem its reduce the capacity of the flash drive

    Use ExFAT to initialize the drive. It does not have the file Size limits of FAT32.

    These are the Files systems currently supported by Mac OS X:

     

     

    Volume format

    Description

    Mac OS Extended Format

    Also called HFS (hierarchical file system) Plus, or HFS+. This is the default root and booting volume format in OS X. This extended version of HFS optimizes the storage capacity of large hard disks by decreasing the minimum size of a single file.

    Mac OS Standard Format

    Also called hierarchical file system, or HFS. This is the legacy volume format in Mac OS systems prior to Mac OS 8.1. HFS (like HFS+) stores resources and data in separate forks of a file and makes use of various file attributes, including type and creator codes.

    UDF

    Universal Disk Format, used for hard drives and optical disks, including most types of CDs and DVDs. OS X supports reading UDF revisions 1.02 through 2.60 on both block devices and most optical media, and it supports writing to block devices and to DVD-RW and DVD+RW media using UDF 2.00 through 2.50 (except for mirrored metadata partitions in 2.50). You can find the UDF specification at http://www.osta.org.

    ISO 9660

    The standard format for CD-ROM volumes.

    NTFS

    The NT File System, used by Windows computers. OS X can read NTFS-formatted volumes but cannot write to them.

    UFS

    UNIX File System, a flat (that is, single-fork) disk volume format, based on the BSD FFS (Fast File System), that is similar to the standard volume format of most UNIX operating systems; it supports POSIX file-system semantics, which are important for many server applications. Although UFS is supported in OS X, its use is discouraged.

    MS-DOS (FAT)

    The FAT file system is used by many Windows computers, digital cameras, video cameras, SD and SDHC memory cards, and other digital devices. OS X can read and write FAT-formatted volumes.

    ExFAT

    The ExFAT file system is an extension of the FAT file system, and is also used on Windows computers, some digital cameras and video cameras, SDXC memory cards, and other digital devices. OS X can read and write ExFAT-formatted volumes.

    EXFAT should not limit the drive size. Are you able to at least read the files on the PC. There may be a problem if the files that you try to transfer are written in Mac OS formate. What happens when you try to drag the files to the Windows PC?  https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3044

    jpeg or gif files are not 'Mac' files, they are just files.

    Oh god, so many restriction and compromises. This is my big mistake I had done to buy the apple product. Now what I can do is simply use this outdated tech machine few years then when I get into the job I will definitely going to buy a windows notebook.
