Mounting and Accessing a Card on a Macintosh
When the Digital Media HS Reader/Writer is installed on your system (as explained earlier
in this guide), you can access a card as follows:
1.
Insert a card in the Digital Media HS Reader/Writer, as explained earlier in this guide.
A removable disk icon representing your card appears on the Mac desktop (see the
example below). This is the card’s mounted state, which allows you to per form read
and write operations on the card. After inser ting a card, the time required for mounting
depends on the type and brand of card. Usually, a card mounts on the desktop within
a few seconds. You can access a mounted card just like a floppy or other type of
removable disk.
2.
Double-click the card’s removable disk icon.
The files and/or folders on the card appear in the card’s file window. You can now copy,
open, edit, or delete any of the files on the card. For instructions on copying files from
a card to your Mac, see
“Transferring Files on a Macintosh” on page 31.
IMPORTANT:
If you are running MacOS 9.x, be sure the Apple
File Exchange
control panel
is set to load in your system folder - you can do this using the Apple
Extensions Manager
control panel.
