In the following diatribe, I use both MacOS Sonoma AND Ventura.
If I format my 16GB USB stick on my m8x, and save no files, MacOS will not be able to mount this stick.
If I save files from the m8x to the stick, MacOS will still not be able to mount the stick.
However, if I reformat the stick on the m8x, go to Windows 10, then it can see the blank stick just fine.
If I then copy a file from windows 10 to the USB stick, all of a sudden MacOS can see the stick.
...
Can anyone provide an explanation (no matter how technical) for this behavior? Thanks in advance.
