cannot write on a SD card
All SD cards show up as "read only".
I asked this question a couple months ago I think but still have yet to find a way to fix this.
I have a macbook pro running Leopard 10.5.8 I have several SD cards that when I put into my SD card reader slot on the macbook pro I cannot write, delete or format. I can only read the card. I tried Disk Utility, formatting and partitioning the SD card are greyed out. Same with right-clicking "get info" on the card, I have only read access to all cards. Also the lock is not turned on, on any of the cards.
I had a work around where I was copying everything from the card onto my harddrive, then popping the SD card back into my camera and having the camera format the card to erase everything.
That worked fine until now I want to install a small program "magic lantern" onto my card for my camera, which i cannot do because i can only "read" the cards.
is there a terminal command I can try to format the card so that I can read/write?
Or can i go into single user mode maybe?
I have a theory now that my problem all originated from when i upgraded to this mbp i named the new computer harddrive the user name from my old powerbook. I think that caused admin issues when i migrated all my info from my powerbook to my new mbp. So I think parts of the computer think I have admin access and other parts might view me as a guest account, hence the read only access. This is just my theory though. Thoughts? Ideas?
