SD Card not being recognized by macbook air. what do i do?

I have a Nikon D5100 and i was taking some photos and videos outside. so like any other person, i put in the sd card into the slot, but it doesn't recongnize the sd card! this is really annoying me. also, the camera-to-computer usb isn't working either! it was just working last week so what's the problem?

Another thing that might help is to open the Image Capture app.
It is in your Applications folder.  You might try opening the app yourself, then inserting the SD card.

  • Canon G9 not being recognized by MacBook Pro

    I'm having some issues with a Canon G9 not being recognized by the particular MacBook i have to use. When i connect the G9 via USB (obviously with a good cable and camera switched on) neither Image Capture nor iPhoto recognize it. I have tried connecting the camera to a bunch of other macs (Powerbooks, latest MacBook, same model of Macbook and system as the one I'm using), they all didn't have any trouble recognizing the camera. My MaProxy-Connection: keep-alive
    Cache-Control: max-age=0
    ook can see any other camera I have tried without trouble... I'm using 10.5.6...
    The System Profiler does actually see something being connected via USB, but it only shows up as "Composite-Device/0x04a9(Canon Inc.)".
    Any ideas what might cause the issue?

    Updated information ... these card do get read on an older iMac, circa 2010 or so, also running 10.8.4. For some reason, they're not being read by the internal SD reader on the macbook pro. Odd.

  • SD Card not being recognized by ZTE Open (Firefox OS 1.0)

    The SD card is not being recognized by my ZTE Open (Firefox OS version 1.0). I tried taking it out, putting it back in and it still does not work. The SD card is brand new and works in all other devices. I only got the phone and the SD card today so I don't know if it is a hardware issue or if it is a issue with Firefox OS 1.0.

    Hello,
    After reading the information provided about your issue I suggest a soft reset of the phone.
    #Take the back cover of the phone off.
    #Take the battery out.
    #Take the SIM card and microSD card out (if applicable).
    #Wait 10 seconds.
    #Put the SIM card and microSD card back in (if applicable).
    #Put the battery back in.
    #Put the back cover back on.
    #Turn the device on.
    #Check if the issue you were having is still present.
    Please report back to us if this solved your problem!
    Thank you

  • External Hard Drive Not Being Recognized By MacBook

    My Toshiba external hard drive (1TB, brand new) does not show up anywhere on my MacBook Pro (Also brand new). The light on the external hard drive comes on so it's not a connection issue, like the cord being broken. But nothing happens when I plug it into my MacBook, aside from the light coming on. It doesn't pop up on the desktop or in disk utilities or finder. I don't have my old PC laptop any more, all my files from that computer are on this hard drive and all I want to do is transfer them to my MacBook. And even though I don't want to lose any of my files, I can't even erase anything on the external hard drive to reformat it because it's like...not talking to the MacBook...

    Your Mac should be able to recognize many different types of drives (including Windows-formatted drives) immediately for Reading, provided they are in good working condition and not damaged. There should be no need to transfer to a different type of drive.
    If there is no recognition of this drive, see if it can be seen in Disk Utility.
    If your aim is to transfer the data on it DO NOT use ERASE or PARTITION as these will completely erase all the information on the Drive.
    If the drive is present while the Mac sleeps, it is likely to drop out and not be seen any longer, especially if it is a USB-powered drive.

  • ESATA PCI Express card not being recognized

    I have a Macbook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz and I'm having trouble getting an eSATA PCI Express card to be recognized in either MAS OS X (10.5.6) or Win XP SP3.
    When I plug a FireWire PCI Express card into the slot with a drive attached it gets recognized right away but the eSATA doesn't.
    I can go into the system profiler when the card is plugged in and MAC OS X sees the card but the drive doesn't get mounted, or there is no prompt for me to initialize the drive (if it's a new, non-formatted drive). I've tried installing the driver that comes with the eSATA card with no change.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can try?

    Hi,
    Typically, this type of issue is caused by an incompatible enclosure or a card problem.
    Please provide a link to the card and the enclosure for additional help. If you need an ExprressCard/enclosure combination that works I would suggest FirmTek.

  • CD not being recognized by MacBook

    Hello!
    I recently purchased the "Glee Christmas Album" (don't judge) from Target, and I was excited to get it home and put it onto iTunes. Anyways, I put it into my MacBook, the right way and everything, because I know how to import CD's since I have done it quite a few times on my MacBook before. However, for this CD, it'll make the sound it usually does when the disc drive is working, and then after about 15 seconds it will just spit the disc back out without even recognizing it on the computer! This is very confusing & frustrating, considering I had a few other recently-purchased CD's that worked just fine on here, and now this? Does anyone have any idea what could be causing the disc not to recognize and how to resolve the issue?
    Thanks!

    I am having the same problem with the same Glee CD (be proud to be a Gleek!)
    I think it might have something to do with the disc being a short recording. If you look at the back, the disc seems to have two different finishes. I think because only a small part of it is "written" on, it is not reading the whole disc. Anyone have a solution?

  • Optical Drive not being recognized by Macbook

    I tried inserting a dvd into my Macbook today and it makes a clicking noise (something it used to do when it still played dvd videos), then it spits the dvd or music cd out. For a time it was not recognized in my system profiler, but I just checked it again and it was there, however, it still spits out the cd/dvd I stick in.
    Also, when I try to open DVD Player it says, "There was an initialization error. A valid DVD drive could not be found. [-70012]"
    Any ideas? I'm up-to-date on my OS and drivers, to my knowledge.

  • Micro SD card not being recognized

    I've installed a new MicroSD card into my Nokia Lumia 822. I turned on my phone and it doesn't recognize it. So I take it out and put the SD card into my computer and format it to NTFS and return it to the phone. The phone says something like, "This SD card is not in the correct format to be used. To format do Steps 1 and 2" Ok! I have the phone format it and when it's done, it doesn't see the card. To further troubleshoot, I took the SD card out of my old smartphone and install it into the Lumia 822 and it doesn't recognize it.
    Anyone else having this problem?
    Or
    Anyone know the solution? Or is the solution to have them replace the phone?
    Burningham

    So, what worked, but was a lot of wasted time? 
    - You removed any microSD card from the phone, then tested all three computers and all three computers will see the 822's on-board/internal memory storage and you can transfer files from any of the computers to the phones' built in storage. 
    - Second:  Then you put a microSD card in the computer while connected to the phone, and then you can move the files from the phones built-in storage to the microSD card.  (Deleting them from the internal storage on the phone?)
    - Third: Then when you put the microSD card back into the phone, and the phone does access the microSD card and reads the files.
    Is this what works for you?  Did I write it correctly?  Are you sure the files you are reading are on the microSD card and not just the ones in the internal memory?  Did this work with all the cards, newly formated and not?
    Thanks for the information.
    Is Verizon addressing this?

  • SD card not being recognized - DROID Charge

    This error has happened to me too.  Has anyone got a definitive answer as to whether this is a phone ("Charge") issue?   My memory card just stopped working.   When I pull it, use an adapter, and stick it into my laptop I can read it fine.  I've backed up everything on it.   However, if I put it back in it doesn't work.   I've pulled the battery.   It still doesn't work.   I reset my device back to factory settings ("Grrr.. because I lost a lot of apps and customizations"), and it still doesn't recognize the card.   I went out and bought a brand new sd card (SanDisk Ultra 32 GB MicroSDHC Class 10 UHS-1) and it still doesn't recognize the new one.   
    Does anyone have any other options instead of having to buy a new phone?   I like the Samsung Charge, but so many of the apps I use weekly, if not daily, require a memory card even to work.

  • Media card not being recognized by Media Sync / Dekstop Manager or Windows

    I hope someone can help me with this.
    I've got a Bold 9000 running OS 5.0.0.411 (the Vodaphone offiical release, not the Bell one).  I'm on Rogers though.
    I have an 8GB Sandisk card in it which the phone reads fine.
    However, Media Sync, Desktop Manager, and Windows 7 64-bit wont read it.
    I've done the following to try and fix this:
    - Mass Storage Mode Support is "on", doesn't help
    - tried reformatting the media card through the phone, doesn't help.
    - tried reformatting the media card through Windows, doesn't help.
    - tried uninstalling Desktop Manager and just installing the USB drivers, doesn't help.
    - tried re-installing Desktop Manager, doesn't help
    - tried updating the "RIM Blackberry SD USB Device" driver, no change as Windows says it has installed the right version.
    - tried both versions of Media Sync (older and just released version), doesn't help.
    - tried another SD card, doesn't help.
    - under Computer Management > Disk Management, the SD card shows up, but with no drive letter assignment.  If I try to assign one, it doesn't work.  Basically if I check anything but "Properties", it tells me there is no drive there.
    Does anyone have a suggestion to fix this or should I reload the older OS?  Admittedly, I don't know if even that will help because the last time I ran Media Sync on my phone was when I was running Vista so maybe it is not the phone but a Windows issue.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Been searching for the last two days and can't seem to find an answer.
    Cheers.
    BB-past: 9000>9700>9800>9780>9810>9900>Z10>Q5

    Me too:
    BB Pearl 8120 (OS 4.5.0.124)
    Windows7 Pro 32bit
    BB Desktop Mgr. 5.0.1
    Reading/accessing the media card via USB always worked fine in XP, and still works fine in Ubuntu Linux (I could never get Bluetooth to do it at all). With the Windows7 upgrade, suddenly Windows can detect but not read the card. It's detected as a removable disk in Explorer, but when you try to open/browse it, Windows throws up a dialog that says "Please insert a disk into removable disk (F."
    The phone sees it just fine, XP sees it just fine, Ubuntu sees it just fine. It's more likely to be a Microsoft problem than a RIM problem, but it's still friggin' annoying. Does anyone know a workaround for this? The Desktop Manager software won't run under WINE for me.

  • My login password is now not being recognized on MacBook Pro which is running on Mac OSx version 10.6.8?

    I Was able to log-in just fine a few days ago. It recognizes the password but just goes back to the login page.

    Boot to the 10.6 Installer/Utilities DVD. Do not Install. Wait a quarter minute for the MenuBar to be drawn. Choose Disk Utility off a Menu.
    Since you are not booted from the Hard drive, you can do a Disk Utility ( Repair Disk).

  • AirPort Extreme Card not being recognized

    I installed an AirPort Extreme Card into my powerbook G4 15" laptop. I also installed the software from the CD that came with the card. Everything went just like the instructions set out. When I start my computer and go into the system profiler it doesn't show that I have an airport card installed. Also if I launch the AirPort Setup Assistant it claims I have no card installed.
    How can I determine the card is installed correctly and working?

    Which PowerBook G4 do you have?
    Some PowerBook G4s require the original AirPort card.
    Others require the AirPort Extreme card.
