My 32GB SanDisk SD card suddenly stopped showing up on my MacBook Pro the other day. I read a bunch of articles, double checked my finder settings, tried reformatting the SD card in Disk Utility, etc... and no luck. Strange thing is that the SD card works just fine on my Windows computer. But when I insert it into my MacBook Pro, it doesn't register and is unable to mount on Disk Utility. It also doesn't even show up in System Information. I tried connecting my camera directly to the USB as well, and that doesn't work... any guesses on what else might be going on here?

Suuuper frustrating (and odd). Thanks!

I just ungraded to Big Sur (from Mojave). The  SanDisk 32GB card from my Canon mounts fine in my USB card reader. The same model card coming from my Fuji X-T30 does not show up in Finder. The Mac knows it is there, because when I remove it from the card reader I get the message ["" was removed without dismounting]. The card used to show up as Untitled (or similar) under Mojave but now it doesn't show up at all. (The Canon card gets a name from the camera when it is reformatted). I know I could name the card in the computer, but the name would be wiped on formatting. Does anyone know of a workaround, r if Fuji is revising the firmware to assign a name to the cards? (The card does not even register when inserted into the slot in the back, but that's something I never use)

After I upgraded my 2019 MacBook Pro to 10.15 Catalina the Finder and Image Capture both fail to read SDXC cards formatted by the XT-2. The cards are Lexar 128GB Professional 1000x UHS-II SDXC Memory Card. Disk Utility can't repair the card, every app that tries to read from the ExFat formatted cards ends up needing to be Force Quit. I can dual boot into Mohave and read the cards fine using Finder, any app works too in Mohave. I could understand incompatibility with third party apps, but this is ridiculous. I can read from Fat32 formatted Compact Flash fine, but the ExFat formatted SDXC cards fail every time. I am using a Sanyo Hyperdrive to connect the SD card to the MacBook Pro. I called Apple Support only to be put on hold for almost an hour trying to reach support personnel for Creative Professionals and then have Apple hang up on me. I have been a lifelong Apple user, but this is alarming. Anyone else having issues like this in Catalina?

Hi steve, did you fix this issue? I upgraded my iMac 5k to Catalina and have the same thing. Lexar Professional SD HC II cards don't appear. I set up my xt-2 to save shots raw/jpg in SD1 and SD2. The card with jpgs works fine, the other doesn't appear in finder or disk utility 😕

thanks

      X-T4 accept external timecode?

      By Chas · Posted

      The Tentacle Sync Timecode tool is the one I tried. I couldn't get it to work. But that is probably my fault, not the software. I seemed to get a file, but I couldn't turn it into anything meaningful.

      GFX 100s not connecting to Mac via USB-C

      I am glad to read you are able to get this up and running. Pretty much as long as you connect the camera and turn it on and wait a few moments for the computer to register the connection, you can then use Image Capture (which actually is a very decent program with a lot of options for transferring images from cameras to the computer) or Lightroom or other programs to move the images to your library. There are some drawbacks; connecting to the computer while it is in sleep mode will waste your time, the connection will not get recognized— you will have to unplug the camera, wake the computer and start over. Trying to connect while the screen saver is running may work, it may not, often not. If the computer goes into screen saver mode while the camera is connected and sitting idle, it usually stays connected when coming back out of screen saver, but if the computer mputer goes into sleep mode, the connection gets dropped and you have to unplug it and start over. I suggested having the camera turned off while connecting, this is to lower the possibility of static electricity discharges frying either the camera or the computer or both. A lot of times you can connect while the camera is turned on, but not always, sometimes you have to unplug, turn it off, reconnect and turn it back on. A lot of this comes from Apple’s approaches towards keeping USB devices from hijacking your computer, some is just hubris and some is from the vagaries of chance. p.s. Your laptop should be able to connect to the camera.

      X-T4 accept external timecode?

      Hi Chas, I am just fallen into the rabbit hole of investigating how to upgrade my X-T4's video sound... Loving the idea of time code sync, I am now quite concerned that the X-T4 doesn't support it, although I have already seen different statements on the net, like here:  https://youtu.be/xja27RmvbhE?si=hIch3Tu_MH_pWSBH&t=571 I have to admit, this guy's "explanation" gets quite confusing in his further discourse ...:) BUT, as you wrote that you use Tentacle Sync for Windows!, did you also try with their windows-only software "Time Code Tool" which you find here?: https://tentaclesync.com/timecode-tool   Would love to here if you found a workaround with the XT4 Best, Simon
