Wife has a new MacBook Pro 16 and neither of us are used to using IOS stuff. How can I download .jpg photos from my flash drive to her MacBook. The photos were loaded onto the flash drive from my PC , if that make a difference.
If you're using a PC to do the formatting I can't help you because I have used a PC since mine was running DOS 3.0. :-D If you are using a Mac, use Disk Utility:
Erase and reformat a storage device in Disk Utility on Mac - https://support.apple.com/guide/disk-utility/erase-and-reformat-a-storage-device-dskutl14079/20.0/mac/11.0 - Choose the appropriate system version in the drag-down at the top to get the correct document version.
The "home" view on a Mac is Finder. You can create a folder by going to the file menu and drag down to "create new folder". On a Mac a folder is the same as a directory on a PC. If your files on the flash drive are in a directory you can just drag the entire directory (or folder as it will appear) across to the desired destination on the Mac.
An alternative method is to use the Photos application ( = "program"). I can't provide specifics about that because I don't use it and I run a 10 year old system on this computer so things have probably changed a lot anyway.

Thanks for the nice reply. How do I format the drive for FAT? Also, when I drag the files to the Mac, where do they go or how do I create a place for them to go to? We're not used to anything but PCs.
Make sure the flash drive is formatted FAT. This will then allow you to drag the files from the drive to the Mac. Drive to drive copies files.
