When you insert a USB flash drive into the USB port of your Apple computer, Mac OS X automatically reads the contents of the flash drive. It may then display a window showing the contents of the USB flash drive. If this doesn't happen, you can find the USB flash drive quickly by looking in the Finder and viewing the devices connected to your computer.
