[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 170006, member: 13090"] To format the cards in-camera (and this is the only way you should format your cards) you simply press the Menu button, drop down to your "Setup Menu" (the wrench icon) and then select "Format Memory Card". You'll need to format both cards individually. It's also a good idea to format your memory cards on a regular basis. If you're done with the pictures on the card, format it. This will help prevent corruption on the card over the long term. I said, "help"... Not totally prevent. It's just a good habit to be in, formatting your cards from time to time. The folders on the cards are a necessary evil, I'm afraid. I'm right there with you, though; I think they suck too. Still, they're required because the software in your camera needs them to keep it (meaning the software itself) on-track and organized with what it's doing with your pictures. Without those folders all hell would break loose. The only work around I can think of would be to use a software application to import the photo's instead of removing the card and doing a manual Copy/Pasta operation. I have Photoshop and use Bridge for that, but I'm sure there are other free, or at least cheaper, applications that would work on your Mac; I'm just not a Mac-sorta guy so I don't know what they are.
