HT204384 Why can't my Retina Macbook read my SDHC card?

I have a SanDisk Ultra 32gb SDHC and when I plug it into my Retina Macbook Pro no error message appears, it doesnt appear in finder or in disk utility. The SD card is formatted as Fat32 according to the packaging and this page (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3553?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US) says it should be working...

are you using Sony camcorder? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1793

  • Can built-in device to read/write SDHC cards 4-8-16 GB?

    I have Lenovo 3000 N200 laptop which has a multy card reader, but I wonder if it is capable of reading and writing those latest SDHC cards?
    I am planning to buy a such card for a HD-camcorder.

    If you are using a DSLR camera, like for example a Canon 60D, there may be an option to use a "Low-Level Formatting" on the card. This should make it writable when putting it into the computer.
    To test this (and confirm it works) I did the following:
    Hardware Used:
    Canon 60D camera body
    Sandisk 32GB SDHC Extreme Card
    Macbook Pro 15" (mid 2010 model) with built-in SD card slot.
    Steps:
    Place SDHC card into camera (SD card may work as well). Navigate through menu until you arrive at settings that allow the camera to format the card. There may be an option to format it "low-level", which you would then select.
    -Note that all files on card will be erased permanently.-
    After the camera formats, eject the card from the camera, and place inside the built-in SD slot on the Macbook.
    The card should automatically mount, containing both read and write priviledges.
    Hope that helps.

  • Why can I not install Acrobat Reader in a different drive / directory

    why can I not install Acrobat Reader in a different drive / directory. I need to install this in a different drive. I prefer to keep the Os drive free of rubbish. Is there an option in an install to allow this to happen?

    What is your operating system & version?
    If you are on Windows, download the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and click 'Change Destination Folder' and the first install panel.

  • Can I change my Macbook Air's Graphics card?

    Hello, I'm having a problem with my Macbook Air's graphics card. When i open After Effects CC, it says that i need an approved NVIDIA Graphics. That in other means, should I change my Macbook Air's graphics card? Even some programs requires me an NVidia Graphics or ATI graphics to render the media. This annoys me a lot as i can't render the media out the software!
    So, is there any possible way i can customise my Macbook Air's Graphics by changing it or some sort? 
    Service it? Pay it? Ask the iBox store? Dismantle it myself? Please help!!
    Product: Macbook Air (128 GB)
    Operating System: OSX Mavericks 10.9.4
    Processor: 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    Graphics: Intel HD 5000                    -----------> Needs to be changed!!!
    Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Thanks afterwards!   =D

    Hi.
    Macbook Airs only handle integrated graphics card, and there is no slot on the Motherboard to add one. If you want a discrete graphics card, to use with professional software, you need to go towards an iMac, Mac Pro or 15 inch Macbook Pro Retina. If you do not want to buy a new machine, you could get an older second hand Macbook Pro with a discrete graphics card.
    The Macbook air isn't built to use this kind of software.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    James

  • MacBook Pro won't read Sandisk SDHC cards since Lion 10.7.1 update

    Hi all, just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I know there are dozens of posts about SD cards not working with MacBook pros, but mine seems to have started when I installed the latest Lion update.
    I have a high-end 13" early 2011 MBP and the cards I'm having trouble with are all Sandisk 4GB SDHC. Two are 'Extreme III's" and one is an Extreme II. The card reader is showing up in System Profiler, and a really old 2GB Sandisk card gets read fine, so there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the MBP hardware.
    Similarly, I can read the cards fine via a USB adapter, so it's not the cards that are causing the problem.
    I had successfully imported photos from the cards before upgrading to Lion, and also before installing the 10.7.1 update. So, it looks like the problem may be linked with the update, but this is purely an educated guess.
    I've tried resetting the SMC to no avail.
    Has anyone else experienced something like this?

    I've got the same problem. I've got a late 2010 MacBook Pro unibody running Mac OS 10.7.1 on it. I installed the 10.7.1 updated most likely on 8/17/11 the day after it was released by Apple. Since then I was able to read SDHC cards as I shot a number of photos and videos to my cards and they worked fine.
    I'm not sure what has changed since then, it wasn't as simple as the 10.7.1 update then it didn't work. This is the problem I'm having below, just started to experience this on 9/2/11. I tested with two 32GB SDHC cards, one 16GB SDHC card and one 2GB SD card. All cards were manufactured by Transcend.
    FAIL:
    * SDHC cards (16GB and 32GB) will not mount and isn't recognized by the MBP via the built-in SD card slot
    * SDHC cards (16GB and 32GB) will not mount and isn't recognized by the MBP via SanDisk 2.0 card reader connected via a short USB cable.
    * If I put any SDHC card into a SanDisk USB 2.0 reader that is connected to my USB hub (I gave it a try in case there was a power problem with the MBP USB system) the card is not recognized either.
    * Even Disk Utility will not see the card when inserted via built-in card slot or a reader.
    SUCCESS:
    * SD cards (2GB) mount fine when inserted either in the built-in SD card slot or via my SanDisk USB 2.0 reader.
    * If I leave the SDHC card in my camera (Canon 60D) and connect the camera to my MBP via USB I can import the images via Aperture.
    * If I put the SDHC card into the memory card slot reader of my HP inkjet printer (it has multiple card slots for different types) the card will mount normally like it is supposed to via the two failed methods above.
    I'm also sending this info to Apple but wanted to post here since there are three inconvenient work-arounds.

  • How can I read a SDHC card on my iMac version 10.6.8

    I have been able to import the old SD versions, using the port on the side of my keyboard. The same reader does not work with the new SDHC card.

    Check your Readers class, see > Secure Digital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    If it's to old, then you will need a newer one. > usb card readers - Google Search

  • Failure to read 16gb SDHC card

    White MacBook OS 10.6.8. I can download pictures from a 2gb card but a 16gb card does not even show in finder and cannot be downloaded. Any ideas why and any cure?

    The card may not be of a format recognized
    by the reader or the computer; so files on it
    would not be loaded into the computer...
    However, other issues may apply; as I have
    a little experience with SD cards, formatting
    and have found certain cards do not work in
    cameras, and the compatibility varies.
    If the card appears on the desktop as a disk
    you can click once & use Get Info from the
    menu bar, to see what it says about SDHC.
    Mine were formatted in FAT-16; so the old
    camera saw them. A later FAT-32 would
    not work in the camera and could not be
    reformatted backward to the old camera.
    So other rules likely apply. If the card is also
    used with a camera, it may allow you to see
    contents of a card via the camera's circuitry.
    If so, see if you can get stuff off via camera
    and don't use the card reader.
    Some cards have different data rates, &
    other specs can make them incompatible.
    Not sure why that is, with your product.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Can I download iPhoto Albums to an SDHC card ?

    I'd like to show pix of recent trip to friends using a 20" Photo Frame that accepts most media devices. Can I download several iPhoto Albums Ive created to an SDHC card or similar device. I've got a  2009 iMac running Mavericks @ 2.93 GHz with 4 GB RAM

    Yes. File -> Export
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    What (and how) things are displayed on the Frame depends entirely on the features of that device. So you need to read the manual on the for the possibilities it offers.

  • Does anyone's iMac read the SDHC cards?

    My iMac will read SD cards, but the new type SDHC card is not read. If your iMac does, what reader do you use? I have an older reader for multiple different cards.
    I used to have a 4G SD card which the older reader and the iMac would input. The card broke so I bought a SDHC 4G card and the iMac does not read it.
    I wonder if I buy a SDHC card reader/USB that the iMac will 'see' the SDHC card?

    The older PPC-based early LCD iMac 1 GHz PowerPC G4, 1 GB ram Mac OS X (10.4.11)
    of the OP is a bit different in vintage hardware and design, without a built-in reader.
    {Most other references between a newer twice-removed model iMac based on Intel chips
    and other improvements, is something to consider in this thread. And that makes the link
    provided not applicable to the computer in question.}
    The newer external card reader should be adequate to resolve this issue, since the OS X
    version should be capable to handle the data once the reader is upgraded. I'd hold off on
    any changes in the system software, since the reader should plug & play. The last thing I
    do is add software that came with some peripheral, when my system is otherwise fine.
    {If the card in question is used in relation to a camera, for awhile, one can just plug the
    camera into the Mac and use that to read the card. I rarely use a card reader with mine;
    since the DSLR and other digital cameras transfer fast enough & with little battery loss.}
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • NB200 - Not reading 16GB SDHC card

    Hi,
    When I insert SDHC into the NB200, autoplay starts up but then just keeps running on a loop and the mixed content box appears. Occasionally I've managed to see what's on the SDHC card if i click on 'view files' in the contents box but not always and even then autoplay just starts up again.
    Now I may be stupid but it's ok to use an sdhc card in an SD adapter? Does it have to be of the same make? I've downloaded both the hotfix and the sd reader driver but neither seem to work. PLEASE HELP!!!
    THANKS
    simon

    Hi chuckles123,
    Have you checked the user manual if your notebook supports 16GB SHDC card? This should be done firstly before you do such things
    If your notebook supports such cards, update the card reader driver and try different cards. By the way, which 16GB card is it exactly? I have good experience with SanDisk cards, never had problems with them.
