SD card reader not working on high sierra

I have the same issue with my mid 2010 Mac Mini. Says there is no internal card reader installed. Sure hope this “bug” gets fixed!

Thanks!!

Correct! My internal card reader does not show up in Utilities so renaming it is not an option for me. It was always there prior to High Sierra.

System report shows no Sd card

Thanks, solved my issue!

What specifically solved your problem and was your issue the internal card reader on a Mac Mini?

Unbelievable still no fix for this, and even the newest update breaks the reader. Shame.

This computer doesn't contain any Apple Internal Memory Card Readers???

SD Card Reader Not Working on macOS High Sierra - YouTube

I have the same issue on my Mac mini 2010 too. It was working on Sierra. Seems Apples QA didn’t do a proper job...

hi monolu,

has this been the permanent fix for you?

Thank you!

It’s hard to believe, given Apple’s resources, that this can’t be addressed easily and quickly. Such an inconvenience!

Same problem here. macmini (mid 2010) Sd card not working after high sierra update. Apple says nothing

Like so many other mid-2010 Mac mini users, I too have been having this problem ever since "upgrading" to macOS High Sierra. I recently updated to version 10.13.3 in hopes the latest update would address this issue, for I had submitted a Feedback report to Apple when I first encountered this issue, along with a link to this thread. Alas, the latest update didn't address this issue. So today, I submitted a followup Feedback report indicating the problem still persists. When I checked Apple Menu > About This Mac > System Report the message I see is "This computer doesn't contain any Apple Internal Memory Card Readers." It's as if the drivers for the built-in card reader are no longer present. I've read some posts that suggest the newfangled APFS format might be the culprit. Hopefully, that's not the case, for I consider disabling a feature (built-in memory card reader) that was a selling point for this computer in favor of a slightly faster performance without notifying the end-user that this would happen with about the same regards I have for when Apple throttled older phone models' performance citing battery saving as its reason for doing so. However, I'm not convinced it's an APFS issue, for the hard drive's file system is still listed as "Journaled HFS+". For the time being, I'm using a USB memory card reader (which works just fine), but it ties up a USB port. Not everyone owns such a USB device, nor should they have to when the computer they purchased was advertised as being equipped with a built-in reader. Also worth noting, for those still experiencing this issue, if you have a printer hooked up with a card reader, try that. I was also able to import my camera pictures into the Apple Photos app by inserting my camera's SD card into my printer's built-in card reader. Though, not an ideal solution, it's a workaround.
