How can I format a micro SD card to Fat32 on my iMac?

I have a 32 GB Class 10 Samsung micro SD card. I need it reformatted to Fat32. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Thank you!

iMac (20-inch Early 2006), Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Hi.


You will need to acquire a card adapter to use in the standard SD card slot... or a USB card reader that will accept the micro-SD and connect to the computer via USB cable. Then you can use Disk Utility to reformat the card.


FYI... the MS-DOS option in the partitioning section of Disk Utility refers to a FAT-32 partition, and yes, that has been a Windows standard since forever. 😉


I hope this has been helpful.
