MobileMate SD+ card reader won't mount

Hello,

I have a MobileMate SD+ card reader that I used to use on a PC to read the microSD card from my LG phone. It has a side slot to plug the microSD into. That's how I transferred pictures off of my phone. My Macbook Pro does not see the reader when plugged into my USB port.

It does show up in Parallels (Windows XP) as a removable disk but when I click on it, it says "insert disk in drive E:" So it's useless in Parallels.

Why can't I see it in OSX?

Thanks,

MK

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

Hmmm. I think I have the same reader as you...
(just took a pic of it from my LG phone)

And I have a 13" MacBook Pro.

The SD card slot in my MacBook Pro is only for regular SD cards, so I too use this reader to be able to use the MicroSD card that comes out of my LG Voyager.

I don't have any problems though.

In fact, I have more problems with the internal card reader not working more then I have problems with this USB card reader!

So I don't know what to tell you! Mine works great!

Does it come up in the USB section of System Profiler?

Hi and Thanks.

Yours is the same as mine, exactly. I use it for the microSD from my LG phone. It Does show up in the USB part of my profiler, thanks. But I don't understand why it does not mount in Finder???

BTW, cool that you have an SD reader on your MB Pro. Mine does not have that.

Well, thats good that it shows up in system profiler. That means the system knows its there.
As for why it is not mounting in the finder, does it show up in disk utility?

Hi,

I presume you know that the card reader does not mount (show on the desk top ) until you have inserted the card into it.

Regards,

Alan
