My MAC can't read my camera's memory card?

I have a Sony RX10 M4 and my MAC can't read the camera's memory card. As a result I am unable to import the files into Lightroom. Help!

Use a Reader:

Are you using an SD Card? If so, unlock it, slipping up the lock button so that it is unlocked.

Apple Brand: Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader - Accessories - Apple


Compatibility and Software:

If you are using a card reader, make sure it is Apple Compatible. Also, remove Security Software (if installed), as it may be disallowing access to these cards.

Thank you for following up.


See my Above Reply. It all applies to performing this via a connection with a Mac.


Try a different device:

See if you can read the card on another device. If it works, then it is something that pertains to this Mac, you are using.


Try Using A Reader:

Go Here: Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader - Accessories - Apple.

When it comes to using the cabled, doing Company-for-Company is not necessary, but for troubleshooting connectivity, using this adapter is the way to go about this..


Use a New User:

Try creating a new Administrator user, and see if you can access it to through that user. If it works, then it is something configured in the current user.
