Feb 4, 2016 7:54 AM in response to Sierby lllaass,What do y mean by recognize?
Finder?
Disk Utility?
System Profiler?
OS X: About System Information and System Profiler - Apple Support
Have SD readers have you tied?
When connected with a SD card what does System Profiler list under USB?
You should see both the reader and the card.

Feb 4, 2016 8:14 AM in response to lllaassby Sier,Hi IIIaas,
Thx for your reply.
By recognize I mean in any way, finder, Disk Utility, System Profiler and maintenance software.
Several readers I tried have the same problem. The one I tried just now, doesn't work with a SD stuck in, and the SD card removed and sticking in a CF card I get instant response and can recognize the card in finder/disk U/SystemP etc. (Photo's is jumping in also)
The SD cards are also good, I have to use my laptop to import pictures and transport them by usb stick or Dropbox to my Mac Pro to proces them further..
I stand for a complete mistery

Feb 4, 2016 8:28 AM in response to lllaassby Sier,Thx for your input, I wil read the information and going to try them.
How ever, I don't think that al of these suggestions are applicable, the way that the reader is accepting the CF cards and doesn't accept SD cards is at least strange...

Feb 5, 2016 1:35 AM in response to Sierby lllaass,★HelpfulYes, it is strange. Does the reader(s) see SD cards on another computer?

Feb 5, 2016 1:39 AM in response to lllaassby Sier,I certainly gonna try this. I only used the SD slot on the Macbook to import pictures but failed to try the option of checking the readers (four of them) on the USB port of the Macbook. I thought that a collective failure of several readers is not possible however it could be possible that the reader itself is outdated trough the Mac OSX updates...
I keep you updated!
