I’m having trouble reading off an SD card. I have the latest High Sierra update available (10.13.6 I think) , and when I insert an SD card, it doesn’t read or even show up in Disk Utility. Is there something wrong with the drivers? What should I do? The SD card works with all my other devices, which include my Windows laptop.
Mac mini, macOS 10.13
Card readers on Macs can be problematic.
My 2017 iMac stopped recognising cards several years ago and refused to work even though I scoured the web for solutions.
Then last year it suddenly started recognising cards again but my joy was short lived because the computer died completely at Christmas!
Your best course of action is to buy a cheap plugin card reader from Amazon.
Hi Ethan0001, I would be glad to help you with this. Could you please provide me with some more info so I can better assist you.
The SD card is formatted as FAT32, I am attaching the SD card via the built-in slot, the Model of the Max Mini is (Mac mini Server (Mid 2010), I don’t know how long the issue has occurred, because this is the first time I have inserted an SD card into this mac. I haven’t tried any other SD cards.
Ethan0001, when you insert the SD card into the machine, do ANY messages appear saying to “initialize” the drive / card?
Nothing at all
Thank you, it kinda ***** that they are like that.
