That's an issue for the Adobe Illustrators forums, not the Apple Mac App Store forum.

The device is formatted for Windows, as NTFS. The format is readable, but not natively writable on a Mac. To write to the device, you must either reformat it (erasing all the contents) or install third-party software to enable write access to NTFS.
