Formatting USB stick

   In Applications, scroll down to the Utilities folder and open the ‘Disk Utility’ application. Alternatively, search for the application using OS X’s built-in search function.
   
2. In the Disk Utility application, you need to select your USB drive in the column to the left of the window.
   
3. Once you have done this you need to select the Erase tab, which is found at the top of the large column to the right of the window.
