SD slot on my Mac Mini

This is my first time trying to use this SD slot and I cannot seem to load a SD card.

I have tried several times and positioned it correctly, but nothing happens.

It doesn't feel that it is accepting it, no clicks, nothing.

I have tried two different cards with no response.

I have read Apple's help but still can't figure it out.

I need help.

Thanks.

  1. Push a little harder to make sure that the SD card is full seated in the slot.
  2. Go to Finder Preferences and check to make sure that hard disks and external disks are checked in the General and Sidebar sections.

I called Apple support and after running several tests, they setup an appointment for me to see a service provider.

Thank you for your help. At least I am able to see all of my external disks now, but not the SD card.

Is there a special SD card that Apple works with or is any SD card ok?
