I am trying to use a PNY 4GB SD Card on my Macbook Pro Mid-2012 (non-retina), but I cannot get it to mount or for the Macbook to even see it's there. I read some people had success slightly pulling it out, pushing it in faster, cleaning the port, etc. which I have tried all of these, but to no avail.
Anybody have an idea?
Thanks,

Have you tried a different card? And does it see the other card?
If not or if you have and it doesn't see the card go into System Info and see if the SD card reader even shows up. If it doesn;t then you need to take the system to Apple and have it fixed.
I have tried a few different cards, but no luck. I looked in System Info and I see "Card Reader" in there. I copied/pasted the text it shows under card reader below.
Built in SD Card Reader:
Vendor ID: 0x14e4
Device ID: 0x16bc
Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x14e4
Subsystem ID: 0x0000
Revision: 0x0010
Link Width: x1
Link Speed: 2.5 GT/s
Not sure if that tells anyone anything though.
Well either you have extremely bad luck with SD cards, Getting a series of bad cards all in a row, or your Mac is broken in some way. First thing you should do is take it to Apple and have it checked out.
Had problems reading SD cards after a Mountain Lion update. Try this XQuartz solution that fixed this for me. I'm using a 13" MBP mid-2012. All you have to do is install this programme and re-insert your SD card.
XQuartz no longer comes with new Macbooks, only X11.
See this support page from Apple on where you can download XQuartz.

You can download Xquartz directly from here:

This should be the most up to date version. If not check for updates once you have downloaded it.
Simply re-insert your SD card and voila!
