How to format an external hard drive on a mac

In this video tutorial I show you how to format an external hard drive to use on a mac. When you purchase an external hard drive the majority of them are formatted specifically for windows machines. You will need to reformat them in order to use them on your mac.

Follow these steps:

1.) Open up your Disk Utility Application

2.) Go the the erase tab in the upper part of the Disk Utility page.

3.) Change the Format from MS-DOS (FAT) to Mac OS X Extended (Journal)

This will do it!
