The SD cards are allways READ-ONLY under imac (mid 2011)

[Federico]

And it's starting to really piss me off  ! Because even by using the disk utility in mac os, I cannot format the card anymore.
Since I tried with SD cards formatted in my t4i and in a nikon coolpix, and the result is the same (read-only), I guess the problem is on the imac side.

So, did it happen to anymore ? Does anyone knows a solution ?

(because I would REALLY like to shoot RAW with my t4i and since I cannot copy anything from the imac to the SD card... well, I think you got it :p)


PS : I hope i'm posting this to the good part of the forum. If not, I apologise.

This may be a stupid question, but have you checked that the card's write-protect tab hasn't inadvertently been slid to "lock" ?

Edit: It is of course possible that the lock-tab switch in the iMac is stuck...
