I wonder if anyone can help...... I have recently upgraded my MacBook Pro to high Sierra - which is fine- however I have now noticed that I'm having real issues mounting my red 512GB which have been Secure formatted at UDF..... I was on a shoot today and tried to get the cards to Mount onto the desktop - the Little red flag comes up saying your media is attached but there is nothing on the desktop to indicate so.... I can't even eject the drive because there is nothing on the screen however. If I switch off the card reader it comes up saying that I have not ejected the disk properly!!!! Arrrgghh!!
Anyway I thought the best thing today was to leave it for 5 mins and go and have a cup of tea... And on my return it had mounted to my desktop Yessssss !! Then opened Hedge for Mac which I always use for copying the rushes across to my clients drive. And guess what - the whole thing crashed .
Anyway after sweating more bullets I did manage to get the card to mount again and this time I just had to use Finder to copy and paste... not ideal I know but nothing was going to work .
So I got home and tried reformatting the cards again in the camera and still have the same issue when in UDF format - however Secure formatting the cards in the camera as fat32 everything works fine - the card mounts no problem onto the desktop - hedge for Mac runs like a dream. whoop whoop
My point is I never had any of these issues until recently upgrading to high Sierra. I really have got used to UDF but I guess fat 32 is the way I have to go ----- does anyone Know a workaround ? Possibly a UDF driver out there that works ? Any help would be greatly appreciated
many thanks
