Please recommend a CF card reader for Mac

Hello,

If you use high speed cards (class 6, 10, or higher), make sure your reader can handle the higher speeds. My Sandisk Extreme SDHC high speed cards came with a high sipped Sandisk reader - when I got those cards, my old reader would no longer work either.

While it is highly probable that getting a new reader will fix your problem one thing in your post gives me pause. You say that most of the time it doesn't show up, but sometimes it does?

You would think that a comparability problem would be an either or situation. It either works or it doesn't. I would check out a few things first before buying a new reader.

First I'd try a different cable, even if this cable works OK on the PC. Second would be to use a differtn USB port on the Mac. Then I would open Image Capture and see if the reader shows up there. Finally open System Information (in te Utilities folder) and in the hardware section select USB with the card reader attached. See if it shows up in the devices.

regards

Frank has some good points. I was not referring to the card, but the reader.
