    Awesome! Totally worked. I accidentally improperly ejected an insta 360 from the mac. This totally worked for it. About 182GB of video I thought I was gonna have to reformat. Another video I saw of a guy that started to rename the files from this same device. This guy spent hours figuring out how to find the files & recover the names using an excel spread sheet. Good thing I didn't need to do all that, thanks for this video. Didn't spend more then 30 mins finding the right video, this one here.

    I totally freaked out this morning thinking I’d gone made or worse my camera had failed. I tried multiple different ways of reading the sd card and couldn’t understand why when I pulled it out of the reader because it wasn’t there I was getting disk not ejected properly messages. I put the disk into my old no Big Sur Mac and the data was all there - phew. Back to the Big Sur Mac I tried one more time and this time selected the Mac itself and there it was clearly showing / totally bizarre! Not showing as a connected drive but showing under the OS disc’s window. Good to know I’m not mad after all / thanks 🙏!!

    Fun Fact: although the card does not show up in the sidebar of Finder, it does show up in list, icon and columns view. Just click on one of your external drives in the side bar (no double click) and you should be able to see the SD Card labeled "untitled" among all your external drives. Saves you the time for renaming and rebooting the card. Hope this helps!

    I have just bought two new Sandisk 128GB SD cards and I'm having this problem - however, when I follow your steps and go to Disk Utility I'm not getting the option to rename it - only to Run First Aid, Restore, Initialise or eject it. The camera is showing the images so the card is fine but I just cannot transfer them to the Mac. PS Both cards are brand new and formatted on the camera as usual and the card reader sees other older cards.
