Macbook Pro M1 Max not recognizing SD cards unless I reboot each time a new card is inserted

Does anyone know whats the problem with this? SD cards were showing up every time they were inserted in the sd reader but since about a month or so it doesn't mount them unless I reboot the computer. This is a pain in the *** since I'm a photographer and sometimes I do have 4 or 5 cards with wedding photos that I have to download and need to reboot the computer each time!!!!!

Greetings grosado78,


If you are having issues with your SD card mounting, consult the following information :


"If you insert your card and it doesn’t mount, remove the card and insert it again. Sometimes the SD card won’t mount properly if you insert the card too slowly or too quickly.

If the card still won't mount, you might need to reformat your SD card." Use the SD and SDXC card slot on your Mac


We hope this helps resolve the issue with your SD card.


Best wishes.

Good afternoon grosado78,


Based on the troubleshooting you have already tried, it might be helpful for you to speak directly with Apple about the issue you are having with your SD cards.


They'll be in the best position to investigate this further.  Click the link below, choose the phone number for your region (or the closest one to it) from the list, and call when it is convenient.
