I have my SD Card inserted and now I cant figure out how to access it. It doesnt show up on the desk top anymore either. I know it is not a system problem but rather operator error. I want to copy my photos to my external hard drive.

I take it from your post that you have been able to use it before successfully?
May sure it is mounted correctly, check in Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and check that it is showing up in the left pane there. Also if you could post your mac specs (model, year, OS) that would be great. Cheers - Simon Rest In Peace Steven Paul Jobs February 24, 1955 - October 5, 2011 [aged 56]

Try opening Finder - Preferences - on the General tab under Devices - (sorry, not sure what you folks see there that have the SD reader built in as I don't have one) - check off SD card, external - whatever it is you need. I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth. In the Windows world, most everything folks don't understand is called a virus. Place your vote for our Member of the Month |

When you have FInder showing in the upper left corner click Finder> Preferences>
once the window pops up You'll have General Labels Sidebar and Advanced as options at the top. Click General (it is a light switch). Once that is done you will have some check boxes under 'Show these items on the desktop:' Go ahead and check the box for 'External disks' That will have every cd,dvd,SD card, external drive.. etc.. you plug in pop up on the desktop. I wanted to get RID of icons on my desktop, and somebody on here showed me that.
