My SD card won't read SD cards

Can someone tell me how to get, or rather to activate my SD card on my MacBook Pro 2010? It will not read cards.

Thank you

If SD cards are functional and do not appear in the disk utility, you can try MSC and NVRAM resets:

https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201295

https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204063

If not successful, then you are dealing with a hardware problem.  You can use a USB SD card reader or make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.  The assessment will be FREE.

Ciao.

    Response

    Hello

    1. are you able to read any type of file .doc or .txt of DVD?

    After following all the steps (including the update of the MP9 for Media Player [MP] 11) below

    I can get the drive to DISPLAY all the data from the DVD (Master & Commander 'movie)

    on-screen MP11.  He plays (automatically) the intro (ONLY) from the DVD music (as when you put it in a DVD player, forward to press PLAY) MP11 shows all of the content and all the files on the DVD and SEEMS ready to play, but pressing on PLAY don't either not anything.

    2 , what exactly happens when you try to burn the CD? You get the error message?

    Not nothing... He's here

    3. How do you try to burn CDs?

    MediaPlayer, selection of a track list, made a list of titles, and then click BURN... nothing happens

    4 have you tried to play the DVD content in ? windows media player

    I had not before, but now I have.  Previously it was default to my SELECTION WIN DVD4 as the DVD player (I think I've EVER SEEN the WINDVD format/start page on the front screen - it wasn't the default front DVD player either but don't remember what program PLAYS the DVD, he ' comes of ").  Now, go back and see 1. above for MP11 more details.

    Try to update the drivers of CD-RW/DVD drive and check. Also update the graphics driver.

    I did the entire bottom.

    1. click on Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click System.

    2 click on the hardware tab, and then click Device Manager.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click continue.

    3 right-click on the CD-RW/DVD drive, and then select set to update driver.

    He asks if I have an OEM driver and / disk... NO.. I run the program through...

    "Hardware update Wiz can not find a better match the software installed"

    4. right click on the graphics card and select Update driver. »

    There is no "graphics card" on the material.  This machine has integrated graphics using a part of the main memory (or other) to run the video section:

    I find:

    AUDIO, VIDEO and GAME controllers (announcement)

    Audio codecs

    Audio drivers

    Legacy video capture device

    Media control devices

    All this seem normal but above I see YELLOW TWO warnings under 'OTHER DEVICES '.

    Did yesterday.  It installed/ran "MR. Microsoft Fixit' with the result:

    "Question: media in the CD-RW/DVD drive is not readable" CLICKED top DIFFICULTY... and after computer "worked" on this subject awhile, he says STATUS: fixed.  St ill did not.   MP9 introduced the format of the DVD player but don't seem to read anything other then showing a list:

    UNKNOWN

    Title 1

    Title2

    Title 3 etc., but could not do anything with this list.

    He appeared a box asking if I wanted to update my MP9... sure why not so I shut everything down and uninstalled 9 and installed Media player 11.

    Go BACK to # 1. now once again.  This is where I am.  MP11 shows all DVD data, the chart "the Album/DVD cover, all"titles"on the DVD, AND play the track audio 'intro' DVD but will not actually READ the DVD. "

    So far it's PROGRESS.  We are at a point where it SEEMS at least that we are ready to PLAY and MP can SEE all the info on the DVD.

    I see many people on other sites of the same question: Player does not work after FORMAT operating system and reinstall of WIN (and in my case: WinXP SP3 and WIN DVD4 of OEM disc)

    Thanks a lot for your help so far... I hope that we can get to the next step and get the reader of CD-RW/DVD on 'PLAY '.

    Hello

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and

  • Satellite P10 won't read SD card

    I have a 4 GB SD card that works fine in my Palm TX PDA.

    When I place it in the slot of my laptop, it appears in Windows Explorer if says:

    "The disk in drive E is not formatted. Want to format it now?

    When I click on 'Yes', he says "the disk in drive E cannot be formatted.

    I formatted it on my PDA and it contains files MP3 that plays perfectly on the PDA.

    Any ideas?

    Hello
    So, it could be that the SD card is not compatible in your machine and which could be the reason why the map wouldn be recognized correctly. You can do the following: try an external USB card reader and check if the card is then recognized by your computer.

    Maybe it would also be a good idea to check the drivers download site and check if some new drivers are available for your machine:

  • DM4 memory card reader won't read the Extreme Pro Sandisk SDHC card

    I have a dm4-1201us and the built-in memory card reader will not read my Sandisk 16 GB SDHC Extreme Pro memory card. I can read with an external drive, but prefer to use the internal drive. I think that HP needs to update the memory card driver reade.

    I solved the problem by inserting the memory card into the internal drive. Then I opened the Device Manager and found the drive, which was a mistake on the Bill. I deleted this device and check the 'delete the driver '. I did a restart and now it reads SDHC cards.

  • My Z500 won't read the dedicated graphics card driver.

    Or just got a new Z500, removed the BONE, it came with and Windows 8.1 is installed.

    First of all, I had a problem that the screen was too low, so I fiddled with the driver and after removing and re - install the graphics driver Intel HD4000, I managed to get back to normal.

    However, I tried to install PES 2011 on it, and everytime I open its settings, it would give a warning that my system does not meet the minimum requirements. It would show that he only reads the HD4000 Intel.

    So, normally, I try to re - install the nVidia drivers and install new and others, but to no avail. I tried to check in the BIOS, but I'm only given two options: switchable graphics or UMA and not knowing what UMA is I chose the switchable graphics option.

    Any ideas what to do?

    I'd be happy to offer more information, if necessary. It has a GT 740 M btw.

  • My inner smartdrive dvd player won't read DVDs more.  I have updated to Snow Leopard in Yosemite.

    I am currently using OS X Yosemite 10.10.5.  I bought in 2009 iMac with Snow Leopard and have to Lion then updated my current operating system.  The internal dvd player has worked with much fussing, (insert the disc - closing - turn after a wait - by pushing the drive when he jumped on reboot).  If I had the chance after a few hours, the video disc show up on my desk.  When this happened, I was opening the dvd player that was in the Finder and the disc would play. I also tried to open the dvd first player and then insert the disc.  That no longer works.  Yesterday, only it just stop working.  The reader still takes dvd and swirls and click as before but then ejects the dvd. Repeatedly stop and restart is no longer works.  I make sure that the dvd be clean before I use it and have tried many different DVDs without success.  I think it's a software issue.  Does anyone have an idea/instructions a nearly dead grandmother brain that can follow to update or redate back to original factory setting to help this poor Smartdrive not so smart?

    My laptop won't play is no longer DVD or CD
    Work ok bootable CD but when I insert any other they seem not be recognized the drive. I tried to play original movie DVD and CD on a Toshiba DVD player, multimedia Realplayer and VLC Player. I don't get an error message and I see "DVD RW Drive (d :))' in my 'work'

    I searched other threads and followed the advice given. But nothing has worked, so far, I have:
    -removed upper and lower filters
    -updated audio driver
    -update the BIOS
    -reinstalled realtek High Def Audio Driver

    All advice welcome! Help, please!

    Confused chick

    Hello!

    I agree with Akuma. Normally, it looks like the upper and lower filters. You must then maybe try again and read all the instructions in the Microsoft document.

    I'm pretty sure that it is a software issue because you can boot from the CD and so I doubt that it is a hardware problem.
    Maybe you should try to update Windows and check for yellow exclamation marks Device Manager.
