SD Card not showing after Mountain Lion Update

SD Card not showing after Mountain lion Update
Since the update to Mountain Lion, the SD slot does not show up in Finder.
Someone gave a fix using the killall in Terminal, and that worked only once.  I have not been able to get that fix to work again.
The only saving grace for me is that my SD Card us is always from my Nikon camera, and Nikon ViewNX 2 software is able to see and read from the card.
Killall may have worked partially in that I no longer get the error message telling me that I have removed the SD card improperly, and need to dismount it first.
However, Finder still cannot see it.

Thanks, Barney ...
Those are basics ... Been there, done that, first.
Then you should hava posted all the troubleshooting you already accomplished.
Does the card show up in System Information? Or is that another one of the "basics" you've already looked into?
Does it show up in Disk Utility? If so, have you tried formatting it there to determine if it is a formatting problem?

  • Facetime not working after Mountain Lion update

    I have a Macbook Pro. After I updated to Mountain Lion (from Lion), Facetime no longer works. I've tried with multiple people, but they aren't receiving my calls and I'm not receiving their calls. In Lion Facetime worked fine, but now it's not working. I also can't get iMessages to work. This is very frustrating, because I was really looking forward to iMessages. My Macbook Pro is still new, I purchased it in the first week August (2012). It came with Lion already installed. It's only 2 months old now. So I know my computer can support all of Mountain Lion's features. By the way, I'm running on Mountain Lion 10.8.2. Any help would be great! Thanks

    Hi,
    The two may be linked as there is a common support app called IMAgent that helps with both Messages and FaceTime.
    Shut down both apps.
    With the Finder as the Front App > use the Go Menu > Hold down ALT key and select Library.
    In the Library find and open th Preferences Folder
    Find com.apple.IMAgent.plist and drag it to the Trash
    Before restarting the App now go to Activity Monitor in Applications/Utilities.
    Find imagent (it  is in lower case).
    Highlight and use the Quit button.
    Now restart the app(s).
    This will recreate the .plist  from defaults.

  • HT1338 early 2012 macbook air clamshell mode not working after mountain lion update

    Can't make 2012 MBA 13" work in clamshell mode after updating to Mountain Lion.  All peripheral devices are connected, as is AC power.  Closing lid causes external monitor to enter sleep mode (presumably, the MBA is going to sleep as well).
    Power settings are set to stay awake when on AC power.
    Thank you.

  • Aperture 3.2.2 not updaing after Mountain Lion update

    I recently purchased Mountain Lion to upgrade my iMac's OS from Snow Leppard.  After the upgrade, I found that when I selected "Software Updates" from the Apple Menu, the App Store now automatically launces/starts and takes me to the App Updates List.  I select to update all, and the only App which seems to fail to perform it's upgrade is, Aperture.  I currently have Aperture version 3.2.2, but the App store refuses to update the software to the latest update suggesting that I already have this purchase on my computer.  This while true, is stopping the computer from updating to the newest version of Aperture which is 3.3.2.  I have tried restarting the iMac, tried opening Aperture and requesting the update from within the program, but nothing works.  Is anyone else having this problem?  Is there a way to get the software update without having to delete the program and reinstalling it?

  • Trackpad click not working after Mountain Lion update

    I updated computer in question, a 2009 MacBook, to Mountain Lion today, and it appeared to work.  It installed, then I was prompted with a log-in screen. I entered my Apple ID and password, but was unable to click go. Easily hit enter instead; this worked.  The next screen, however is a Terms and Conditions one with only the options of "Back" and "Next." I cannot click on either of these.  The mouse moves around perfectly when I use the track pad, but I am unable to choose anything by clicking and therefore cannot get past this screen and to my computer. Any help?? Thank you!

  • Reminders after mountain lion update

    After the latest mountain lion update, all of the categories in my calendar now show up in my reminders (to-do list). It used to just be "completed", "today," and "to-do" shown in the sidebar. Can I get rid of the calendar categories (listed under "on my mac")? I have tried selecting and deleting them, but it says, "The reminder list  is also a calendar containing events. If you would like to remove it from Reminders, you must delete it from Calendar." Can I hide the categories from "On my Mac" whilestill seeing the iCloud ones? It just looks to busy, and I will not use these subcategories, but I don't want to hide the entire sidebar.

  • Mac won't start automatically after Mountain Lion update

    Today I found the latest Mountain Lion update in the App Store and I started the installation. It seemed to be working fine so I left the room for a while to do something else while it was installing. However, when I got back, Mountain Lion hadn't started by itself, and I was left with nothing but the "grey background" (if you know what I mean) that shows up during the installation.
    Nothing happened so after a while I had not choice but to reboot the Mac myself by holding in the on/off button at the back. I'm not an experienced Mac user so I'm a bit worried. Does this happen often and does it mean something could be wrong with my iMac?
    After the reboot I entered the App Store again to see if the update was still there, but it wasn't, so I guess the installation itself went well. I just got a bit worried that something's wrong with my iMac. I just bought it.
    Thanks for your help!

    Ah ok, I'm relieved to hear that. So others have had the same issue with this update too? Thanks!

  • Existing IMAP notes not available in notes app after mountain lion installation

    After today's mountain lion upgrade (from lion) my notes stored on an IMAP server are not available in the new notes app. The folder of the IMAP Account itself is shown but appears empty. On my Iphone all notes of the IMAP Account are shoen correctly as well as on another mac still running lion.
    Any Suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Okay, I assume there are some different reasons for the syncing problem.
    I got my notes syncing again by just losing the prefix on my iPhone and renaming the existing notes folder. For those with a similar problem, here's how:
    Old situation:
    Within OS X Lion I used a Gmail account with notes (IMAP). To avoid a messy layout with the Gmail folders I used [Gmail] as IMAP Path Prefix (found under Accounts, tab Advanced).
    Under iOS5, 'Notes' was ticked on under the Gmail account. The result: Apple created a IMAP folder '[Gmail]/Notes' to store all notes.
    New situation:
    After upgrading to OS X Mountain Lion I ticked 'Notes' under the Gmail account within system prefs, 'Mail, Contacts & Calendars'. The new Notes app remained empty and didn't show my existing notes that were still on my iPhone.
    Logging in to www.gmail.com reveiled a new folder created by Mountain Lion: 'Notes'. The existing notes folder was named '[Gmail]/Notes' - because I used the [Gmail] prefix - and contained al the existing notes.
    So Mountain Lion syncs with the IMAP folder 'Notes' and the iPhone syncs with the folder '[Gmail]/Notes'
    In Lion the Mail settings were used for both Mail and Notes. So the IMAP prefix applied to both.
    In Mountain Lion, the IMAP prefix only applies to Mail, not to Notes.
    New situation, fixed:
    As Mountain Lion can only use a folder called 'Notes' for syncing, I had to change the folder my iPhone was syncing with: '[Gmail]/Notes'. I removed the newly created folder 'Notes' via www.gmail.com under the label settings and renamed label '[Gmail]/Notes' to 'Notes'. After that I removed the IMAP prefix '[Gmail]' from my iPhone Gmail (advanced) account settings, making the iPhone sync notes with the folder 'Notes' instead of '[Gmail]/Notes'. That's it.
    Btw, I maintained the use of the prefix within Apple Mail under Mountain Lion as that is totally separated from the Notes section.
    Hope this helps.

  • Loosing internet connection after Mountain Lion update

    Hi,
    I'm working with a MBP 2012 model.
    After the update to Mountain Lion, the MBP is loosing the internet connection now and then.
    I've did a PRAM reset, but the issue is still present.
    Are there any tips oder way to solve the issue?
    Thank so far

    I'm having the same problem on my brand new 2012 Macbook Pro with Mountain Loin. After being online for a while, Safari or Chrome will just stop connecting to the interent, even though everything says it's connected. I don't have this problem with other computers on the same network that are not upgraded to Mountain Lion yet.
    If I restart the computer, it works again for a while.
    Very frustrating.

  • Missing the Message App after Mountain Lion Update

    My Macbook Pro totally crashed after the Mountain Lion update, and a wonderful tech support lady at Apple walked me though hours of restoring it. However, now that it is working fine and all programs re-installed, I noticed that the Message app is missing. I really like this app and want it back. I paid for the OS and think I should get everything I had before, plus the update. I shouldn't lose a program in the update, should I? I've read through all the other message boards and can find only general suggestions to search in the spotlight (which I did to no avail), and I have searched for a third-party download. After the trouble I've had, I really just want the program back from Apple. HELP!

    If it did not get reinstalled for some reason, then you will need to reinstall. See the following. You can avoid this if you have a prior backup.
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
