Hello all
I have tried using Google to get this answer but to no avail - I keep getting results that say put it in the SD Card Slot but my MacBook Pro doesn't have one. I then try to search if there is an adaptor to use with the MacBook to read the card and get USB-C converter results. So how do I read an SD Card on a MacBook Pro that doesn't have an SD card read?
Regards

Since Apple has seen fit to remove a lot of user friendly functionality from their notebooks, You will need an SD card reader with a USB-C connection, such as:

Yeah - it's been recently discontinued.
You have a bunch of options. There are stand-alone card readers, multi-format card readers, and multi-adapters. The last kind is a single hub that combines several functions, such as connections to USB-A devices, ethernet, HDMI, or SD/microSD. Here's an example:
There's one in the Apple online store:
SanDisk Extreme PRO SD UHS-II Card USB-C Reader/Writer - Apple
.
If it doesn't have a slot, you need to get a card reader that uses cabling supported by your Mac.
Which specific model of Mac do you have?
I thought you were talking about the Lexar card reader not anything Apple had done. Your comment wasn't that clear.
I just checked and Lexar still claims to have them. http://www.lexar.com/products/card-readers/
Search for SD carder readers.
Lexar has a great one.
I know it doesn't have a slot but EVERY Google search tells me to put it in the slot that doesn't exist! When I Google for an SD card reader for Mac I only get hits telling me to put it in the slot that doesn't exist. How do I find a card reader when I constantly get results to just put it in the SD Slot on my Mac?

Are you serious or just joking? Just in case, I'm talking about Apple discontinuing built-in SD card slots in the MBP line.
