There are a few different ways to format a 256GB micro SD card to FAT32 on a Mac. One way is to use the command line tool "diskutil." Another way is to use a third-party FAT32 formatting tool, like the one available from Ridgecrop Consulting Ltd.
- Formatting a 256GB micro SD card to FAT32 using diskutil
The first step is to open the Terminal, which can be found in the Utilities folder in Applications. Once in the Terminal, type in the following command:
diskutil eraseDisk FAT32 MBRFormat /dev/disk2
Replace "disk2" with the identifier for your micro SD card. You can find this identifier by running the "diskutil list" command in the Terminal.
