Mac can no longer find my SD card

I have never had problems downloading my photos from any SD cards until recently.  I suspect it is because I have not upgraded to the new operating system.  Does anyone have any information that can solve my problem.  I didn't upgrade to newest operating system because it hasn't really gotten good reviews.

First there's nothing wrong with Yosemite provided your mac has at least 4gb of ram.
Try inserting the SD card and then restarting your imac. Sometimes that gets it done. There's actually a small switch inside the SD card slot that gets stuck

  • My Mac can no longer find my Time Capsule or my home network.

    Hello, having had no problems for the first few months I can no longer get online. My Mac cannot find my network (but can find all of the other networks on my street) and cannot find the Time Capsule. The Time Capsule itself has a green light so I assume is working fine. My daughter knocked the ethernet cable from the the Time Capsule around the time it stopped working - could this be related? We also moved our cordless phone near to the Time Capsule around the same time - could this be the problem? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

    Smokerz, thanks for the help. A couple of very basic questions to clarify (I am clueless about these things).
    1. When you say power down the modem you mean unplug it? (I currently get my cable TV and phone through it as well).
    2. How do I go about changing the channel on the router? (which I assume is the Time Capsule?).
    Apologies for my ignorance and thanks for any help.

  • Mac can no longer find the network NAS

    For some reason I can no longer see my NAS when connected to my home network. I go to work and see other computers just fine. It's kind of infuriating.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Mad Clan
    Welcome to the discussions.
    You provide very litte information, which leaves us guessing. Please try to be as elaborate as possible in your answers.
    First of all: Check the power of the device. You won't believe in how many cases this was the simple solution for my own issues.
    Second: Assuming, the NAS is not connected wirelessly: Check the network cables. To be absolutely sure, replace the one connecting the NAS to your network.
    What does your home network look like? Do you have a router seperate from your internet connection (meaning you're having two boxes)? Do you connect wirelessly?
    What NAS product do you use? Please provide brand and modelname. Did you just take it out of the box and it just worked or did you have to configure network settings?
    Can you think of a reason you don't longer see the NAS? Was there a power outage, did you add a new device to the network (if only temporarily, please mention it), had you someone accessing your network who doesn't live in your house, did you update your computer or the router?
    All these questions potentially lead to different steps needed to be taken.
    Kind regards

  • TS4597 My airport extreme has had the latest update and now my mac can no longer find the base station.  Everything else works fine on the internet but my mac loses connectivity constantly.  This only happened after an update. Help...

    Help!!  The update on my airport is 6.3 I think.  Shoot me!!  I'm in graduate school and it's taking me all day to answer one discussion!!

    Airport 6.3 utility requires ipv6 local link to work.
    see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
    But older express may not show up even then. you need to install 5.6 utility so you can access them as well.
    It is tricky but if you google around there are a number of methods listed. Here is what I do.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
    Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.

  • I bought a new router and now my mac can no longer find my air port express

    I recently installed a new Netgear N600 router.  The internet and wireless are working.  I had previously purchased an Airport Express for use simply as Air Tunes and used it with our old router with no problems.  However, since we installed the new router the Air Port utility cannot find the Airport Express.  I have reset the settings on the Airport by pushing the little button.
    I have tried connecting using an ethernet and Airport Utility still cannot find the express.
    Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    I would suggest that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX). Once completed, you should be able to access the AX via the AirPort Utility. Note: Be sure to first connect to the AX's wireless network BEFORE accessing it with the utility.

  • My mac book pro with lion finds my wireless printer on start up, but subsequently can no longer find it unless I restart my laptop. any suggestions?

    my ma bookk pro fimds my kodak wireless printer on start up, but after a period of time, can no longer find it and I get a connection error. I have to restart for it to connect again to the printer. I have unistalled and reinstalled the printer software, but the problem keeps recurring. Any suggestions?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I have music on my iPad, but I can no longer find it in itunes on my mac.  How do I get those CDs back in my library?

    I have music on my iPad, but I can no longer find it in itunes on my mac.  How do I get those "CDs" back in my library?  I cannot listen to them on my Mac or put them on another device!

    Thanks a lot!  After I sent the above post, I tried that.  It worked a little.  Some of the ones that I Purchased would not come up.  I followed instructions from Apple about going to Purchased and downloading them again, but ran into another problem.  They are greyed on my Mac and they will not download again.  It says to click on the iCloud beside them, but there is not one visible.  iCloud is set up, at least I thought it was.  I am sure there is a simple explanation, but I am missing it! 

  • I can no longer find Software Update on my laptop.  Running 10.10.1.  What happened to it?  Where did it go?

    I am running 10.10.1 MacBook Pro (Retina,15-inch, Late 2013) w/ 2 GHz Intel Core i7, and can no longer find Software Update on my laptop.  It is not in the menu under the Apple logo.  It canot be found in the applications list through Preferences.
    Can someone please explain what happened to it? 
    Where did it go? 
    Why?
    Thank you!
    Storm Petrol

    The Software Update item in the Apple menu has been REPLACED by the App Store. It is still present in the system if you go to About This Mac, where you will see "Software Update..." as one of the buttons in the Overview section of the information window that appears. The difference here is that the App Store menu option will only launch the App Store's main landing page, whereas the Software Update button will launch the store and then check for any system and other updates available.

  • When I want to attach a photo to my e-mail I can no longer find my iPhoto library using open - media - photos.

    So starting recently (last couple of months) when I want to attach a photo to my e-mail I can no longer find my iPhoto library using open - media - photos.  There's nothing there, it's just completely blank, when in the past my whole iPhoto library would show up with thumbnails and I could just choose the pic to attach.  Now I have to drag the photos I want from iPhoto onto the desktop and then I can find them there to attach to my e-mail.  How can I get my iPhoto library to show back up the simple way when I want to attach photos?  I've been having this problem attaching photos in hotmail or yahoo. 

    It should be an attachment.  Your Mac just displays a preview of certain attachments (such as .pdfs) in the body of the message.  A PC, for example, will see it as an attached file rather than a preview.
    You can save the attachment on your Mac by Control-clicking on it and selecting Save Attachment.

  • How do I re-download my iphoto library if I can no longer find iphoto on my desktop or in my finder without loosing all of my photos?

    How do I re-download my iphoto library if I can no longer find iphoto on my desktop or in my finder without loosing all of my photos?

    How did you install it in the first place? If it came with your Mac, and the Mac didn't come with Lion installed, then reinstall iLife from the Applications disc that was in the box. If you no longer have that disc, you'll have to order a replacement from Apple customer service. Either that, or restore the iPhoto application from your backups.
    If you got iPhoto from the App Store, you can download it again by launching the App Store application.

  • Myairport utility can no longer find my time machine or Air port express

    can any one help my airport utility can no longer find my time machine or Air port express

    Try connecting an Ethernet cable from your Mac to the Time Capsule to see if that allows AirPort Utility to "see" it.
    By the way, don't confuse "Time Machine",backup software included with OS X since version 10.5, with "Time Capsule", an Apple Wi-Fi base station with an integrated disk drive.

  • Safari 6.0.4 "broke" Share button - also Mail can no longer find the application (installed via Map App store)

    Since installing the 6.0.4 Safari update via the Mac App store, I have a host of problems:
    1.  Mail can no longer find "an associated app" when I click on a url in a mail message
    2.  The Share button (extension) in the Safari toolbar no longer works
    3.  Any attempt to open a new url results in a new safari window being opened although in my preferences I have "open new windows in tabs" selected
    4.  If I click on a tab that was previously open I am continually asked to refresh the window
    5. I have had about a half dozen "Safari not responding" events since the upgrade, forcing me to Force Quit - generally when I'm trying to use one of the extensions or returning to a prebiously opened tab 
    6. Safari is intermittently unresponsive to  mouse clicks -functionality can only be restored by refreshing the page
    7.  Safari can no longer find my passwords for some extensions (e.g. Buffer)
    8. Safari is EXTREMELY slow loading pages - stalls out a few moments after entering url (or switching back to that tab) - sometimes for as long as 2 or 3 minutes
    All the Safari extensions I have were eeither pre-installed or from Apple's Safari extensions page.
    The install also corrupted my iCloud (AppleID) password, but thiswas easily fixed in Keychain.
    Anyone have a fix or know of any software conflicts that could be responsible?
    OSX 10.8.3
    Safari 6.0.4

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then uninstall them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
