Dash Cam SD Card Question

[420benz]

I put the SD card from the Dash Cam into an adapter and put it into my MacBook.I don't see any way to format or delete any info that is on the card.Thanks

To format, use Disk Utility. To delete files, use Finder and drag to the trash.

What option?

You can format it using Disk Utility.

It should also show in Finder, and you should be able to delete files exactly as you do on any other storage device.

Get Info, which is what you're showing, does nothing except allow you to change permissions.

I'm probably not the only one who's unsure what you're really asking.

Are you attempting to re-use the Dash Cam SD card in the Dash Cam again after an erase and reformat? If so, you may be better off doing the erase/reformat functions in the Dash Cam itself.

If you are just trying to erase/reformat the card for use with your Mac instead, then what Monokakata suggests should work for you.

I will give this a try.Thanks

Can you view the contents in the camera itself? Or did the camera come with its own video players software?

If you can mount the card on your Mac:
How does your SD card appear in the Mac's Disk Utility?
You said that you want to see what is on the card, but does it look like you could erase the card in Disk Utility?

Use the mac disk utility. Open the Application Folder. Select Utilities, then Disk Utility. Report back what it shows.


I also use the disk utility to the format the cards I use in my car's (Tesla) built in web cam. Seems to work well until the Tesla craps on the files. Grrr.
