Help!!! Neither the iPhoto or Photos programs recognize the memory stick when I insert it into my Mac Book Pro. It is not in the Finder either. Help!! I cannot import from my 35 mm camera.

I cannot import my 35 mm pictures from the memory stick to my iPhoto or Photos programs. It does not recognize the stick. It always did before I downloaded Photos program. It is not showing up in the Finder either. Help.

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

Does the memory card show up on the Desktop if you use a card reader? If it does you can upload to a folder on the Desktop and then import the folder to Photos or iPhoto.

Also try Image Capture to see if it will recognize the memory card.

try a different computer - probably your stick is corrupted - hopefully you can find a way to get the photos off of it - but then yu need to use you camera's format command to erase and format the card
