Is there a way to format a SanDisk mini SD card thru one of the USB ports?
If so it is in the back
What Mac are you using? I beliieve some of the iMac models have a card reader built in. If so it is in the back (See here for example)
Or on the side of some other iMac or MacBook models.
Note: Not all SD card types work with the Mac's slot:

BTW: Where or with what is the SanDisk mini SD card to be used??

The card is used for a security camera.
Good thinikng Patrick. I was thinking in terms of reading the contents on a Mac and didn't really think about formatting.
The problem there is that sometinmes it's difficult to know what information is needed. Especially if you spend most of your time using Macs rather than learing about troubleshooting them. These folks know what they need to know to get specific tasks done and they're OK with that.As happens much too often in these forums Sly, the original posted question is often lacking even basic details in order to answer their posted question properly.
I used to have a general forum policy that if the poster can't be bothered with supplying just some basic info, then I shouldn't be bothered with replying. Seems fair to me.

The problem with that thinking is not everyone is as savvy as you and I are about their Mac. Many folks inquire of our forums because they want an answer to their problem and assume what info or lack of they have given us will suffice.
Sometimes it does get a bit frustrating when we have to inquire of the OP several times in order to have enough information to try to help.

@Backlighting
Mt apologies if you felt my comments were only aimed at you Backlighting.
As Jake says, it's a general problem.
