If this is an external disk, I recommend using XFAT. This format will allow
you to use the drive on either Mac or Windows as necessary.

So maybe I don’t have to erase it at all? I’m not using it for Time Machine or
any kind of disk cloning app or anything like that. I will try to copy things

Thanks for the info.

Hi,
If you just want to use it for storing stuff you copy over, then xfat

I am experiencing this at times as well. I am not sure why but if I
command-tab away and restart VoiceOver and go back to Finder, it seems to fix
the problem.

This problem with the unresponsive finder has been getting worse for a while
now, but it is making it more difficult for me to use the machine now. I had
to wait several minutes this time after I rebooted the Mac. Then it just was

It’s still worth checking the network as I think apps send some sort of
