RE: first import
No. At least I don't think so. Seems you're also showing FAT 32?

No.  At least I don't think so.  You have FAT 32 too.  What does it mean?

RE: first import
It's not the FAT 32 part, it's the Windows and DOS part. FAT_32 is an old file system from years ago, but is still used for some things and is standard for SD cards from 2GB to 32GB.

Generally, an SD card formatted on a Mac will show up as DOS_FAT_32 and using the xPAP machine to format the card (or an SD card formatting app) will usually show as Windows_FAT_32. Technically it shouldn't matter but there have been some rare cases where a Mac will get something wrong with the formatting and can cause an issue.

You may want to try a different SD card and see if it helps.

The other option would be to re-format your existing card but that will erase any data on it.
There is a free SD card formatter from the SD Association here: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/
They develop the SD card standards for the industry. It will format the card to expected standards.

RE: first import
Whoopee!  I tried again, using the SD card in the card reader and it worked!
No idea how.  Now to get familiar with all those stats.

Thanks!

RE: first import
Jeff, I have a notice from Finder in the upper right hand corner that says
'Disk Not Ejected Properly
Eject "NO NAME" before disconnecting or
turning it off"

I searched online for that and apparently it's a bug but just an annoyance.
Probably some relation to all our problems though if you're interested in looking it up.

Thanks again Jeff.

RE: first import
That eject warning has been around as long as I can remember, Since the SD card is writable the correct way is to unmount it first, then remove the card. It helps prevent data loss if your Mac happened to be writing to it when you removed it. It can also cause the USB port to get hung up because it still thinks there is an SD card there if it was not ejected properly. So always Eject before you remove it. Same goes for portable drives and thumb drives.

Curious.... did it start working again by itself? Or was it re-formatting the card that did the trick?

You can clearly see some differences in formatting.

RE: first import
No reformating done. It just started working correctly, maybe because I put the card in at the right time.
I also got message "Oscar would like to access files on a removable volume" and asked that I pick "Don't Allow" or "OK"
and I picked OK.

RE: first import
I see this: Volume Name: NO_NAME which would be SD card format

not this: Volume Name: NONAME which would be MAC
