How to Access a Cruzer on a Mac
A Cruzer is a pocket-sized USB flash drive manufactured by SanDisk that can hold up to 32GB, depending on the specific model and capacity. You can store files on the Cruzer and transfer them to any computer. It works with Mac, Linux and Windows, so you can easily transfer files between computers running different operating systems. Cruzer flash drives also contain SanDisk's U3 technology feature which is ignored by the Mac because the feature is only supported on Windows.

Tips & Warnings
If your Mac does not recognize the Cruzer, you probably need to use a powered USB port. The USB port in your computer is a powered port; external ports such as those on your keyboard are not powered ports.
Files can be damaged if the Cruzer is not properly removed from the computer. Be sure to eject the Cruzer before removing it from the USB port.
