HELP!

i've used the card reader before (its a no name card reader) on my macbook and my i mac before succesfully. But now I plug it in and nothing shows. I am using a Sandisk Memory Card from a Sony Cyber Shot (which i have also used with this card reader before)

I can't download the pictures to my computer. I am on vacation with only one memory card : ( and i need to make space....please help!

(i tried going through image capture and i photo and still nothing shows)

Try all the USB ports to make sure you don't have a bad port on your camera or it could be that your reader has gone kaput. It happens sometimes.

If you have the option to try it in another computer give that a shot to see if the issue is with your computer or the reader.

Try all the USB ports on your computer to make sure that's not the issue. If you can, try the reader in another computer to see if it is the reader or your computer.

Sometimes those readers just go kaput for no reason.
