High capacity SD card not working in card slot

It's not on their site, actually. It states that it supports whatever size the card is.

I'm running into this same exact issue too with my 2012 non retina MBP. It's very annoying =/

Same here ! cannot match with my Macbook Air 13 inch MID 2012 at all.

I can mount the 200GB SD card, but not working very well. Sometimes cannot create a folder, rename.... etc and occur an error.

I have the same issue on a Macbook Air 13 mid-2012. I have the BaseQI adapter. It works fine with 4GB micro-SD. Not so with the 200GB sandisk. I tested it in a 2009 Macbook Pro 13 and it works fine. Using a standard adapter that came with Sandisk, it still does not work on the air with 200GB. All of this debugging tells me it is a combination of hardward contacts and driver error processing. Various copy operations to the 200GB micro-SD on the air, work for a portion then fail with an error of -36. I tried various cleaning methods for the SD slot, to no avail. I also tried to install XQuartz, which fixed the problem for others but no me.

Any help?

Hi, everyone.

Just ordered a Ninja Stealth Drive and am currently looking into buying a 200GB SDXC card from Sandisk. Then I read the posts here... My Mac is semi-old but as long as I have a SCXC-reader I can assume I'm fine, right? I looked up my computer by using the serial number and found the following info:

I clicked the link to read more on my model and found this:

So, people... I am in the clear, right? The ones who have experienced issues here have all confirmed that their computers only have an SD-reader, right?

Thanks in advance for any input or advice!

Found the weirdest tip on YouTube cause I had the exact same issue. First juSt to play safe, check sd to be macos formatted. Then take it out/open photo fetcher or whatever its called/ insert nifty. Since then ik worked fine for me ?!?!?!?!?

Dont really grasp iT, but when it works, it works

good luck all

Same issue here but the problem began after I installed Mac OS Sierra. I have a MacBook Air mid-2014 & am pretty sure its an SDXC reader as I was using the 128gb micro SD installed in a Nifty MiniDrive Air for almost a year before the problem came up.

I was using the beta version of Mac OS Sierra but I only installed the final GM release & never used the one's prior to that. The only problem I foresee is that I did the installation with the Nifty installed.

I even called Apple Support & we went thru a bunch of steps of pressing some keys while restarting or holding down on power up, etc but no solution. Finally, I've been setup to show my Mac for service as it may be some hardware issue.

But the main problem is only this micro SD doesn't work on only my Mac, it works everywhere else. And every other SD card works fine here including another friends Nifty.

Do I do a fresh install of Mac OS Sierra?

Any other advisable solution?

Hi, having same exact issue here. Macbook Air 13", mid 2012; bought a 200gb sandisk with a flush adapter and successfully copied almost 64gb of data but now cannot even open any file (error -50); tried the sd card in another adapter through usd drive and work fine so seems to be the SD card reader. any ideas ????

thanks

I have exactly the same problem on MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2014) with 128GB microSD card through MYNIFTY. It was failing me before but reboot used to help. Now with the mac OS Sierra I can't transfer files to the drive or even unmount it.

This is driving me mad, exactly the same card and adapter worked on MBA 2012 but not on MBA 2014. The only difference I can tell is 2012 supports SD while 2014 supports SDHC. MBA 2014 when using the big SD adapter, it is working fine, just not with the flush adapter.

I finally get it sorted. As soon as I disabled journal on it, no more -50 error. Then I used diskutil to move the journal partition to the SSD so as to maintain the error checking. I am very happy now, all working the way it should be.

One update, adding the external journal would re-introduce the -50 error, so the clean solution is to disable journal for the SD card.

Thanks, I'll check this out. It's really outrageous to re-boot into the safe mode in order to be able to write files to the drive.

I'm wondering what's the impact of not having journaling enabled on the SD card. Does the risk of data corruption increase?

Further info on pros/cons on journal as below link. For me I only use it to sync my Google Drive (80GB+) so when I am on the road I can still access to it and have spotlight for my entire Google drive locally on the MBA. I haven't got issue with corrupted local file and sync'ed up to Google Drive (yet). If journal is really important to you, going back to use the original SD adaptor would still work but I like the flush one. To be honest, important data I would put it on the SSD rather than SD unless I have realtime backup elsewhere.
