Even if your flash drive is 16 GB, the maximum file size is 4 GB because flash drives come formatted FAT32. To get larger sizes, you have to format as exFAT as I noted earlier.

Hello everyone,<br />
<br />
I can't copy an HD movie from my Mac to an external flash drive. I was able to copy music from I tune and I have plenty of free space in that flash drive. What are certain things I should look into in order to resolve this issue please.<br />
<br />
thank you

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
