My SanDisk SD card isn’t showing up on my MacBook Air (2022, running macOS Sonoma). I normally use this card with my camera, and it’s been working fine — but now it doesn’t appear in Finder. Has anyone experienced this issue? Could it be a compatibility or formatting problem? Any help would be appreciated.
