Dude, I hope you still read these posts. I have a UGREEN card reader with USB 2.0. I have a 2016 mac with 3.0 ports so I have to use the dongle. It worked once but never again... until I saw your video. I pulled the USB 2.0 connecter on the card reader out just slightly, and VOILA! I see my files. You are, Sir, in fact, the man!
I have lose my faith. More than 10 times I have failed. But after watching this video and try it again, suddenly it works! thanks for restoring my faith on youtube videos!
That was exactly what I needed to know with my 2012 MacBook Pro. It wasn't seeing the drive at all pushed all the way in, and pulling slightly out as instructed, suddenly it was recognized. Thanks so much.
Worked for me. I'd never used an SD card so I figured I was doing something wrong. I had to fiddle around with it a few times before it finally worked. Thanks!
Thank you so much. It actually worked. I had to pull a side a little bit more than the other, my SD card looks like its inserted slightly diagonally but it worked like that with different SD cards.
I tried it, didn't work. I tried blowing it out like one of the comments suggested, didn't work. So I started switching the SD adaptors I was using... it worked!!! This video sparked it... THANKS.
I had the same problem, but all I needed to do is blow air through the port and my SD card now works. It's easy for dust and fibers to get caught in the port.
You just saved me from a big problem. I don't have the slot on my Mac for plugging in the sd card. Have to use a reader. PLugged the sd card into 3 cameras, and all said, " no sd card". I know the video data was on disc. Then I placed sd card a little bit at a time into reader, "vola!" there were the other 3 video clips. Thanks so much for posting this video. Ron
I am new with camera and memory card - It says that card readers are faster is that true if we are using Macbook Pro? Do you know? Thanks for figuring out the wiggle… :)
I was looking at my desktop screen while the video was loading and got freaked out by the intro sound of this video. I really thought that my MacBook was about to die.
Liked this video! On my computer this hint also worked! But the strange thing was that it worked from the 3rd attempt. I've made exactly as you recommended... nothing... then the 2nd time... again nothing. Then I again pulled the SD out and then tried to insert it back.... and now it works fine every time. Thanks!
There should be a small sliding switch on left edge of SD cards that can "lock" the card so it can't be erased...just flip it the other way and it should be fine to read. As far as the card reader actually reading the card...thats a whole other issue.

at first it didn't work but now it does! i just moved it around a little bit. thank you so much.
...Jobs used to say apple doesn't ship junk.
- really...
Thank you man, this trick saved my life.
Had the same issue and it worked. As you say - it's absurd that such an expensive computer doesn't work properly.
Didn't work the first time, i tried again and pulled less out and it worked!!! The trick is to pull it back SLIGHTLY!
I must be completely honest. I thought this wouldn't work at all, but I tried it and it works perfectly.
Thank you. I'm sorry I doubted you.
yes, MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011), worked for me, thanks
wow thank you so much i looked for hours at hardware issues and crap like that a simple little pull on the card worked perfectly! thanks!
Perfect! Thanks for this. It was a combination of dust and connectors not connecting for me
Found this in July 2018. IT WORKED. THANKS.
That was exactly what I needed to know with my 2012 MacBook Pro. It wasn't seeing the drive at all pushed all the way in, and pulling slightly out as instructed, suddenly it was recognized. Thanks so much.
Worked for me, took a couple of tries. Thank you mate!
Wow, I have never had a problem fixed SO QUICKLY. thanks a lot.

Amazing - more than a year after your post and I am another grateful user. Was driving me nuts and to find out it was just to "wiggle" it. Wow.
I'm not big on commenting on videos but really this saved me. I agree it sucks big time!!!
Thank you so much. It actually worked. I had to pull a side a little bit more than the other, my SD card looks like its inserted slightly diagonally but it worked like that with different SD cards.
Thanks! this fix saved my life. It is ridiculous that we have to do this...
This must be a common problem because when I bought my Mac the store staff told me about it and gave the same advice you gave in your video. Thanks :)
thank you! was a same problem on my macbook pro mid 2012
+Vítor Neves No problem, glad it helped!
I tried it, didn't work. I tried blowing it out like one of the comments suggested, didn't work. So I started switching the SD adaptors I was using... it worked!!! This video sparked it... THANKS.

You mean I’ve been struggling for years for this to be the issue!
Thank you! This video is awesome.

Well worked out man, thanks for this

It worked!
mid 2012 macbook pro 13inch and it worked.......Wow
Thanks so much. Verified working on 2011 MBP - pretty sad that such an expensive laptop would have this type of flaw.
I cannot believe that is literally the issue, I've been downloading random drives like crazy. -__-
This worked and I am very thankful. Great video!

+Natalie Campbell Glad it helped!
THANK YOU
thanks man you are a life saver it worked
Thank you so much
Great, it works good for me! Thanks.
It didn't work at first, but I flipped the little lock switch and it did work! Thank you!
wait what lock switch?
Probably not every SD card has it, but mine has a little switch on the side that locks the card
Yeah that is also a possible culprit for it not being read by the computer/card readers.
There should be a small sliding switch on left edge of SD cards that can "lock" the card so it can't be erased...just flip it the other way and it should be fine to read. As far as the card reader actually reading the card...thats a whole other issue.
IT WORKED!!! THANK YOUUUUU
It worked. Thank you SO much!!!!!!
Great job dude!!!!
Thank you! I've been having issues also. This worked with my SD card adapter!
THANK YOUUU THIS REALLY HELPED
Thank you so much for this video!
10 years later they still seemingly can't get it right and your solution works!
it could also be dust.. mine didn't work at all until I cleaned it carefully with compressed air... It made a major difference.
Thank you very much! unbelievable. That was all.
cheers mate worked for me. thanks
It works! Thanks!
Glad it worked for you!
Terrific, thanks so much for posting. I just started having this problem - you saved me lots of time spent troubleshooting. Cheers! :)

Yup, works now, simple video and a solid answer, thanks man.
I was so sceptical about this video....but it really worked!! OMG! Is this a universal Mac issue? Strange!!
