64GB SD Card Problem

[srhode66]

I own a Macbook. I downloaded NOOBS and formatted my 64GB SD CARD into exFAT format using SDFormatter.

According to the Instructions-ReadMe in NOOBS: I copy all the files from the NOOBS file I extracted and past them into my SD Card after it has been formatted.

So now I plug it into my Raspberry Pi 2 with the power supply and still nothing is happening.

Can anyone help?

NOOBS files can't be read by the boot system when they are in an exFAT partition, the partition MUST be an FAT32 partition, so after formatting in exFAT you must use a utility to convert the exFAT partition to FAT32 before copying any files to it.
The sticky, "common pitfalls for beginners" has a section on it.

Can't seem to find any utility for a MacBook that would covert the exFAT partition to FAT32?

You can't "convert" one to the other, but you can reformat it to the desired filesystem type.

What does the command:

Code: Select all

diskutil listFileSystems

display on your system?

The apple pi baker won't work on my laptop! It says it can't open due to an unidentified developer

I have my 64GB SD Card formatted to exFAT right now. Can I use "disk utility" to simply reformat it to MS-DOS (FAT) format?

I suspect so. Try it?

You need to right click on the file and press open if it says it's from an unidentified developer. Then press open on the prompt and it should open.

For some reason it wasn't opening when I did that. Opened now though, Thanks kusti8.
