    Hi all,

    I came cross with this strange thing, hope could get some help on here. “fingers crossed”

    I have downloaded a file to my PC, which is like 6.64 GB. I need to transfer it to my mac from my pc ( I can’t download it directly from my mac, coz the wifi in my apartment doesnt work well for my mac__another stupid thing). but whats weird is that I cant send it to my drive with has 7+ GB space :S nor my another SD card, which is 16 GB, it always tells me the file is too large for the system file :S

    Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

    Much appreciated!

    My guess is, ure using FAT32. Change to NTFL, that should do the trick.

    Writing to NTFS isn’t natively supported on OS X. Try exFAT instead…
