Trascend sdhc express card adapter & MacBook Pro 2011

Hi all,

i purchased this product:

http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Express-Reader-UHS-1-TS-RDF1/dp/B0054VVRBQ

I'd like to use it instead of external USB SD Card reader,but the Express Card Reader is not correctly recognized by my MacBook 17" early 2011. If i insert an SD card in the slot ,the SD does not appear as mounted disk on the desktop. Nothing. I tryied three different SD Cards. Only Express card adapter is recognized by Mac,there is a small icon in the bar:

Sorry,it is in italian language. Grayed out: "Basic System Device",and on the bottom "Disable device".

I'd like to know if there is a way for fix my problem

My OS is Lion 10.7.4.

Thanks,

Lamberto from Italy.

Some threads say that Transcend doesn't quite work with Macs. Try another brand if you can.

I should have read your initial post - your SD card reader isn't working; not the card. Try a PRAM/NVRAM reset.

Have had that happen on my 13' MBP and it fixed it.

Hi,

i made a reset of PRAM/NVRAM: it doesn't works.

My SD card reader is provided by Trascend adapter,not native in MacBook 17" (only 15" has the SD slot )....

Try going to the Transcend site and download the latest driver. I just installed it on my Macbook Pro and I love it already. I imported from a SD card in less that half the time.
