SD slot on MacBook Pro doesn't work December 2024 I purchased a MacBook Pro with an Apple M4 Pro chip and Mac OS Sequoia 15.5 operating system. The SD slot will not open an SD chip so I can view photographs. I had a two hour session with the Genius Bar and was told that the SD slot is just not very fast and that if I just waited long enough the photos might upload. When my SD card was plugged into the test macBook Pro, the card uploaded albeit not as fast as you would expect from Apple's new chip. Has anyone else encountered this?

CE Express card not recognized on new MacBook Pro. CE Express card for my camera is not showing up on my Macbook pro with any card reader. It showed up one time then disappeared, then never again. I'm a professional photographer and I really need to figure this out.

MacBook Air won't read Memory Card I have a new Air with most up-to-date software installed. I travel with this Air so I can move photos from my camera to my travel drive and begin editing in the field on my Air. I have a Nikon Z camera which has a CF Express memory card slot. I have a card reader which accepts the card. My Air will not read it, though my desktop and my friend's MacBook Pro will recognize the card when it's connected to the computers with the reader. My question: does the Air have the capability of reading a CFExpress 168 gb/s card? Anyone have any experience with this problem? The Air reads the smaller typical Sandisc Pro cards just fine. Given that I traded in my MacBook Pro for the Air, I am not happy at all that it won't read the much much faster CFExpress cards which can be used in the Nikon now.

SD cards are S-L-O-W.

Playing live Video requires a drive that is VERY responsive.

Before you condemn your computer, try using Finder to copy video files off the SD drive to your Boot drive, and play from the boot drive.

Hello there.

I think it is an image formatting issue
