Media card readers require fix to read SD cards
Media card readers require fix to read SD cards
I have an iMac (24-inch Mid 2007). It "natively" runs 10.8.5 and I try newer OS's via an external HDD so I won't break things that my family depends upon and are working for the most part with 10.8.5. The most recent ability that I’ve learned that 10.11.1 can’t do anymore is read SD media cards (the last capability I've discovered that no longer works correctly in 10.11.1 is Spotlight can't seem to handle large number of items as a search filter). So, I tried two different media card readers with both 10.11.1 and 10.8.5 using the same computer, cable, SD media card and CF media card. Using 10.8.5, the card readers can read both SD and CF in both card readers. Using 10.11.1, the card readers can read the CF card but not the SD card.
So does anyone know how I will be able to read SD media cards if I upgrade the family iMac (24-inch Mid 2007) to 10.11.X or will I need to have an external HDD with 10.8.5 loaded to get that functionality?
TIA.
