Have problems with it recognising memory in this slot. Any ideas , tips?
Welcome to our forums.
Try blowing some air into the slot with one of those cans of dry air that you can buy at Staples, Wal-Mart, Target, etc. Sometimes that will help by blowing away dust or dirt in the slot.
Can you explain what "Have problems" means? What happens when you insert the card? Any messages? Does the card appear in Disk Utility? What is the format on the card? Where does it come from? You called it "memory" but it's not memory, it's storage.
Maybe you thought you said "card" but you didn't, hence my question.Have problems with it recognising memory in this slot. Any ideas , tips?
You are correct, an SD card can be called a memory card, but when you said just "memory," most people think of RAM, thus the confusion. Have you tried another SD card? You could also try cleaning the metal contacts on the SD card using a q-tip and some rubbing alcohol. Otherwise, I'd suggest buying an external SD card reader.
Brand new card , have only used in Mac, have other cards which sometimes work, sometimes not .
Have external card reader , similar problem , sometimes recognised .
What was the card used in? Can you leave it in the device, and connect the device with USB cord?
What device are you referring too? USB cord to what?
Only used in Mac mini.
The device I'm referring to, is the device the card was used in, prior to plugging it into your Mac?What device are you referring too? USB cord to what?
Oh, so the card is brand new. Then, there is a possibility, it is a defective card.Only used in Mac mini.
Possibly, but it works fine in friends macbook.The device I'm referring to, is the device the card was used in, prior to plugging it into your Mac?
The USB cord, would go from the device, to the computer.

If I may, a little advice. Don't use this card again. You were lucky and I'm thrilled for you; but once you've finished your operation, don't use it again.
Next time you are unlikely to be so fortunate. Discard the card and in future use an External Hard Drive (EHD) to store/transfer precious data. These cards are not designed for this purpose.
