Problem reading some CompactFlash cards SandDisk Extreme Firewire reader and Mac

You are not alone. I have a Quad 4 Mac, MacPro Laptop, 4 card readers, new 23GB and 16GB Sandisks AND CANNOT GET MY PHOTOS ONTO EITHER MAC. I can read very old 2GB SD cards, but no new cards will mount. None. 

So I took all my cards to the college where I teach and tried them on 21 card readers in the computer lab. Every conceivable card reader of various ages. Eventally found one reader that would read both cards, but didn’t have any DVD to burn. Drove home, got DVDS, drove back, tried to read cards… NOTHING.

Google the problem and you’ll see hundreds of angry people with this problem. Bottom line: SANDISK HAS A MAJOR COMPATIBILITY PROBLEM AND THEY ARE NOT ADDRESSING IT!

I’m back to using an old Nikon with KINGSTON COMPACT CARDS until a solution can be found.

SANDISK - GET TO WORK ON THIS! YOUR PRODUCT IS FAULTY!
