TheDreamingHawk	1. Posted: Sat 2nd Feb 2013 01:49 GMT Sorry for the title, but I need help ASAP. I plugged in my 8 GB SD card to move the data to my backup folder on my mac, but it's not reading the card on my mac... It's not showing up as something to eject or anything, and I don't know what to do! HELP! I DON'T WANNA LOSE MY DATA Edited on Sat 2nd February, 2013 @ 01:57 by TheDreamingHawk

mudjo	3. Posted: Sat 2nd Feb 2013 01:57 GMT Where's this data from? Is eShop games? Photos off a camera? Try putting the card back where you put the stuff on it – that should help identify whether the data's gone, or just not being read.

I put it in a vivitar SD card reader and it didn't show up on my desktop. Now I'm scared to remove it as I don't want it to corrupt...

mudjo	5. Posted: Sat 2nd Feb 2013 02:00 GMT If the SD card's not doing anything, then it won't corrupt, but you can't be sure that it's not doing anything behind the scenes. I believe that it will be fine, but I wouldn't take my word for it. Just try to identify where the fault is – the data, the card, the reader or the mac.

I need to remove it to put it back in but I'm scared...

mudjo	7. Posted: Sat 2nd Feb 2013 02:01 GMT Ie: Does the card work on other systems? Do other cards work on the systems? Does the reader read other cards?

mudjo	11. Posted: Sat 2nd Feb 2013 02:02 GMT Powering off's probably safer, I'd wager that you're fine but you should really ask an expert.

TheDreamingHawk	13. Posted: Sat 2nd Feb 2013 02:06 GMT OK, I am calling NOA now, currently on hold and I'll provide Live updates. (PS, TBD, do NOT, NOT. Lock this until it's done. It's urgent to me)

Happy_Mask	14. Posted: Sat 2nd Feb 2013 02:06 GMT A nice gent helped me when I needed to move mine without an sd card slot on my computer, the solution he presented was a good one, get a USB to SD card drive, and the computer will read it as a USB(you can still perform the transfer the same way). :3
