The HFS+ file system used by Apple Computer for their Mac OS is supported by the Linux kernel. Apple provides mkfs and fsck for HFS+ with the Unix core of their operating system, Darwin. This package is a port of Apple's tools for HFS+ filesystems. I have a Mac 10.4.3 OS and followed your above method to reformat a 264 MB usb flash drive from Mac OS Extended (journaled) to EXFAT with no success. Tried 4 times, each time it came back Mac OS Extended (journaled). Any help you could offer would be appreciated.

Set Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Set Scheme to GUID Partition Map WARNING: Formatting the drive will erase all data on the drive, so you should copy any data you want off the drive prior to formatting. Click the Erase button, Disk Utility will start formatting the drive. 2 OS X Extended (Journaled) & OS X Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) This is the default file system for macOS 10.12 and earlier. It doesn't put a limit on the size of files you can save on the drive, and that's the greatest advantage. Windows-running computers can read the files formatted to OS X Extended (Journaled), but can't write to them.

To use Time Machine to make a backup of your Mac, you need one of these types of storage devices:

  • External drive connected to an AirPort Extreme Base Station (802.11ac) or AirPort Time Capsule

External drive connected to your Mac

Time Machine can back up to an external drive connected to a USB, Thunderbolt, or FireWire port on your Mac. If the disk isn't using the correct format, Time Machine will prompt you to erase it.

Network-attached storage (NAS) device that supports Time Machine over SMB

Many third-party NAS devices support Time Machine over SMB. For details, check the documentation for your NAS device.

Mac shared as a Time Machine backup destination

To use another Mac on your network as a Time Machine backup destination, complete these steps on the other Mac:

  1. Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Sharing.
  2. From the list of services on the left, select File Sharing.
  3. From the Shared Folders list on the right, click the add button (+), then choose a folder to use for Time Machine backups.
  4. Control-click the folder that you added, then choose Advanced Options from the shortcuts menu that appears.
  5. From the Advanced Options dialog, select “Share as a Time Machine backup destination.”

When setting up Time Machine on your other Mac computers, you should now be able to select the shared folder as a backup disk.

External drive connected to an AirPort Extreme Base Station (802.11ac) or AirPort Time Capsule

Time Machine can back up to an external USB drive connected to an AirPort Extreme Base Station (802.11ac model) or AirPort Time Capsule.

  1. Connect the drive directly to your Mac, then use Disk Utility to erase it.
  2. Connect the drive to a USB port on your AirPort base station, then turn it on.
  3. Open AirPort Utility, then select your base station and click Edit to view its settings.
  4. Click the Disks tab in the settings window.
  5. Select your backup disk from the list of partitions, then select “Enable file sharing”:
  6. If more than one user on your network will back up to this disk with Time Machine, you can use the Secure Shared Disks pop-up menu to make sure that they can view only their own backups, not yours. Choose “With accounts” from the menu, then click the add button (+) to add users.
  7. Click Update to restart your base station and apply the settings.

AirPort Time Capsule

Time Machine can back up to the built-in hard disk of an AirPort Time Capsule on your network.

Hi All,


I am new to Mac and the format of the OS on my new retina MBP says Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted). Please can you let me know what this exactly means?

Has the format changed to Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) post this operation or is this the default OS format that ships with all Mac Books?


Also, I had customised this with 512GB Flash Storage but the info only shows 500. Is this normal and the difference (from what's actually stated) common across all capacities or only with 512? Please let me know.
