Any Wifi SD card issues for a Mac?
I see a lot of discussion regarding issues with wifi SD cards but do they apply to Macs?
Also with a Mac should the max size be limited to 32GB
any issues with the latest cards which I believe are 04 designation or later?

RE: Any Wifi SD card issues for a Mac?
Assuming you mean the Toshiba Flashair, the issues are the same. You have to mount the card on your Mac as an http WebDav anonymous connection, which is annoying, but it works. Some file managers hang up if the mounted card is not available. Not seamless, but basically functional.

Also the 32gb limit is a limitation of the Printer not your Mac.

I've formatted my Toshiba Flashair card to 64Gb on a Mac, but this is not possible to do with a standard windows format tool. The real limitation is on the filesystem structure. It must be FAT and not exFAT cause exFAT is not supported by the Prusa Firmware. Only FAT is supported.
In any case, I think it will be difficult to produce a g-code file larger than 32Gb

I would get a glitch with the time stamps, they all show as current time.

Ah forgot about that. I get the same when accessing my FlashAir from my Mac via WebDav.

I'm using Viper FTP Lite https://viperftp.com/ and works like a charm!
RE: Any Wifi SD card issues for a Mac?
I tried both Viper FTP Lite and ForkLift. Viper crashes once I try to open a f0lder on the remote FlashAir drive. ForkLift transfers files just fine, but all files wind up with the same datestamp corresponding to the time of the last file transferred just as with Path Finder. If I copy files directly to the card mounted on my Mac, the datestamps are correct even when viewed remotely. It seems to be something in how the MacOS handles copying files to WebDav.

Are there any specific issues or considerations to be aware of when using the latest WiFi SD cards, particularly those designated as 04 or later, with Mac devices?

I had a FlashAir but after 18 months it just stopped working. Completely dead. I then attached a Raspberry Pi running Octoprint and now running Prusalink. It's been a much better experience than the WiFi SD nonsense. Printing directly from Prusaslicer - Mac, Linux and Windows - works perfectly with Prusalink. I honestly don't recommend WiFi SD cards.
