My Macbook pro sd card reader cannot work at Lion 10.7

When I upgrade my Macbook pro (2010) to OS X Lion 10.7, I found SD card reader cannot read SD card !How to fix it?

If you installed a retail version of Windows, the order of installing drivers and utilities matters.
Best to restore the hard disk from Toshiba recovery media.
   Order Toshiba Recovery Media
Otherwise, use the attachment as a rough guide. Notice that the chipset software followed by the display driver are installed prior to other drivers and that the Common Modules is installed before other Toshiba utilities.

  • MacBook Pro SD card reader is not working

    I have a MacBook Pro 13" Early 2011 with OS X 10.8.2.  The reader has been working until now.  I have tried several different cards with no luck.  After searching the community board I tried both an SMC reset and a PRAM reset but no luck.  (When I look in Disk Utility, I do not see the built in card reader.)  Any suggestions?

    Anyone else with card reader issues should read this page. Just because your card reader doesn't appear to be working or has mysteriously dropped off your system doesn't necessarily mean a logic board replacement. I've repaired several portables over the years that had been quoted for costly logic board replacements, when in fact the failures were relatively easy to resolve once you understood the real problem.
    It's common belief a PRAM or SMC reset should fix all hardware glitches but sometimes it just doesn't go deep enough, as I found out with my 2011 MBP. Simply removing the battery was all it took to resurrect my seemingly dead card reader, when PRAM and SMC resets failed to have any impact on the problem.

  • Macbook Pro SD Card reader doesn't work

    Hey all. A few weeks ago I plugged in my SD card like I've always done, but my SD reader didn't work. I've tried SMC reset and PRAM reset. Nothing works. The SD reader doesn't show up in apple system profiler nor in Disc Utility. I've tried different SD cards.
    What can be done?

    i tried that since Yosemite killed my SD Card reader... its so annoying. i don't even know if its a hardware or software issue. however, the check didn't worked... and all my 3 SD Cards are working well...

  • Macbook Pro - SD Card Reader Issues Solved!

    I recently purchased a gently used, early 2011 MBP. I've had it for a few months, but I did not try using the SD card reader until last week... so much for kicking the tires. Long story short, the darn thing did not recognize or mount one single SD card out of a handful of cards, and at least 3 different card manufacturers all used with my Canon DSLR. I searched the net trying to find a solution and tried everything from sticking the card in at a some strange and ridiculous slant to shutting the computer down three different ways and resetting the System Management Controller (SMC); nothing worked. So today I spent 25 minutes or so chatting with an apple care specialist and they (Jim the apple care guru) finally came up with a solution, even though I'm sure neither one of us knows exactly why it worked. So here goes...
    Put your SD card in a external card reader, once it's mounted go to disk utilities and reformat (erase) the drive to Mac OS Extended. Take it out of your external reader and put it in the built-in reader on your Mac. Now, of course, it will no longer work in your camera or most other devices so you'll have to format it again in your device of choice. However, here's the kicker... once I did l all of that and took some quick pics, I put it back in my MBP and it popped right up even after a reboot. But wait there's more.... I then put the SD card in my wife's work laptop (PC running Win8) and played with the files for a bit, then stuck it back in the Mac and it still recognized it. So there goes the "windows screws up the formatting myth).
    So naturally I assumed that I would be forced to go through this double formatting process for all of my SD cards (and I have a lot), but then it happened! A Christmas miracle in October. I tried a second card, and then a third and a fourth and a fifth, etc... AND now they ALL pop up just like they should. Without reformatting or any other humanly changed processes. Yep... There you have it, it makes no sense. But it works ;)
    Somehow formatting just one card in the card reader "woke up" the whole process, almost like my MBP was like, hmmm I was wondering what you kept sticking inside that's slot of mine...
    Hope this helps someone. Sorry for the rant :)

    SD CARD SLOT NOT RECOGNIZING SD CARD?

    SD Cards not reading! Read here!
    I had the same problem with my MBP-R-15". So I took a look inside the SD Card slot and noticed a contact point on the side. For the SD card to be noticed this needs to be pressed in by the SD Card or it cant be read.
    Solution:
    Make sure your SD Card read/write selector switch is up away from contacts. This will ensure it makes contact with the internal MBP contact switch.
    Now slide your SD Card into the MBP SD Slot, and gently push it towards you (if your facing your MBP to type).
    This will allow the SD Card to make contact the internal slot "switch" and it will be recognized.
    It is tricky but easy enouph to deal with.
    Internal switch is sticking over time.

  • Sonnet pro express card does not work with lion 7.3.4 warning

    After upgrading to Lion 7.3.4 my volumes attached via a Sonnet Express Pro 34 card via SATA no longer mount.
    I have the current driver from Sonnet 2.2.8
    The volumes appear in Disk Utility, AND pass both the disk verify and repair
    However, attempts to mount the volumes result in a message from Disk Utility to attempt repairing the disk

    Tried deinstalling and reinstalling the Sonnet driver. Doesn't help.
    Really odd that the drives will readly pass Disk Utility's first aid checks and repairs, spin up and down under Disk Utility, but simply won't mount.
    Revereted back to 10.7.3 and now back on line.
    Hopefully Sonnet will create a fix, but wow, could be Lion 10.7.4's fault given that the underlying drive structure looks sound to Disk Utility (even under 10.7.4).  Lion 10.7.4 dislikes something about the Sonnet Tempo Pro Expresscard/34 sata connected drives.

  • In my macbook pro hdmi, usb & SD card reader not working

    In my macbook pro hdmi, usb & sc card reader not working.
    i have tried the SRM reset done, till not working started.
    Could you please resolve this problem,

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Simply take it to an Apple Store or reseller if it's in warranty. Your Mac will be repaired or replaced for free because it looks a hardware problem rather than a software issue.
    If it's not in warranty, hold Command and R keys while your MacBook is starting up, and reinstall OS X. If it doesn't work, you can't do much more to solve the problem

  • I would like to use my work exchange email on my macbook pro.  But I cannot insult it.  I have not problem as on my iPhone or iPad.  My work IT person does not know what is wrong.

    I would like to use my work exchange email on my macbook pro.  But I cannot install it.  I have no problem my work email on my iPhone or iPad.  My work IT person does not know what is wrong.  Why I try to set up the email I get the message that it cannot connect to this server. 

    Try going into System Prefereces then Mail, Cintacts & Calendars then click on the Microsoft Exchange link on the right. Type in your email address and password and allow it to set it up automatically.
    Make sure your Mac is updated to the newest version of Mail.
    If that still fails then I suggest you switch email clients. I don't care for the built in mail program. IMHO it is very buggy.

  • My Dad gave me his old Macbook Pro and I downloaded another version of Lion so it's tied to my ID and it worked but I cannot download and iLife apps at all? It doesn't even give me a choice to purchase it just say accept?

    My Dad gave me his old Macbook Pro and I downloaded another version of Lion so it's tied to my ID and it worked but I cannot download any iLife apps at all? It doesn't even give me a choice to purchase it just say accept? And gives me a dropbox that says that these apps are tied to another ID and I need to log into that ID in order to download it.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    This is a common issue with second hand Macs. The iLife apps came bundled free on this Mac and they are registered to your dad's Apple ID. The only way for you to acept them into your Apple ID is for you and your dad to contact Apple Care, explain that he has passed the Mac to you and ask that the iLife apps be released from your dad's Apple ID so that you may accept them into your Apple ID.

    Now The 7 in 1 card reader does not work! I am used to installing new hardware. There is no entry in the Device Manager for a card reader. I have tried an SD card and a CF card. Tried restarting the PC, tried running Add/Search new hardware wizard. Nothing gets detected. This PC is more trouble than it is worth! The firewire ports and usb ports on the same front panel all seem to work? I've run out of things to try so if anyone has an idea I'd be grateful..
    Tech support from MSI - rubbish.

    I dont think it is then end of the world if the card reader doesnt work, anyway
    what OS are you using? Windows XP should install a driver automatically.
    Is the flash drive cable connect to to the motherboard? check the manual to find the cable and enusre it is connected.

  • What setting will make sync make my iPhone and MacBook Pro contact cards alike?

    What setting will make sync make my iPhone and MacBook Pro contact cards alike?  I've been having to key in changes to both devices because sync doesn't sync. 

    If you really are running Mac OS X 10.7.5 and iOS 6.1.3, you should be able to sync through iTunes, but in current releases you need to use a central contact service like iCloud.
    Did you have it working and then not working, or have you never had it working?
    Are you trying to use iTunes, iCloud, or something else?
