When you open the “FINDER” it will be listed as a storage device. Select it and use it. If your computer says it needs to be formatted. Your Apple Disk Utility (enter Disk Utility in your Apple Search or go to finder and look (it lists all programs alphabetically) for Disk Utility.

A:AnswerI do not recommend using any portable hard-drive that is not made/programmed specifically for MACs. They say you can reformat it, but I have not found it easy to do, and I could not get it to work. Save yourself the aggravation, buy one made for MACs.
