Hi Gena and all, I have transferred many files to my Stream, many times, using an HC SD card with my Macbook Air. My Air is the 11 inch model and therefore, it doesn't have a built-in card reader. So, I insert an HC SD card into an SD card reader and then insert the reader into one of the USB ports. I then go to the desktop and if I cannot find the SD card as a volume, I press command-shift-c to open Computer. I will then find the card in the table. After that, the SD card will appear on the desktop as a volume. I don't know why, but, it does. As for ejecting the card or the VR Stream, I put the voiceover cursor on either and then press command-e to do that.

The situation is I have a friend that is just getting used to a Victor Reader Stream. He is a technophobe so I need to provide him with reading material. I took a SD card reader my Air and stream to a meeting. I couldn’t get the Air to see my reader. So I hooked his Stream up. I saw it on Yosemite’s desktop. I dropped a text file in the route of $VRText. All appeared well, until I tried to eject the Stream. I tried cmd E, VO+Shift and M and the eject key. Non of which worked. I turned off the Stream and pulled the plug. The Stream didn’t see the file. However, looking at the Stream again there was the file. My time was limited and couldn’t faff about. I need to be able to just drop files on his SD and walk away. I cannot take his SD away because he’ll be without his Stream for a week or so. Therefore, I have the following questions: Has anyone used a HCSD card successfully on an Air running on battery power? Is there a HCSD card reader that the Macbook Air will use while on battery power? Has anyone used an Air to put files on a Victor Reader Stream on battery power? Has anyone had a problem ejecting a mounted USB device with Yosemite? I certainly don’t on my Mac Mini but could it be an Air and Yosemite combined issue? Looking at forum’s it appears that people have transferred files successfully using an Air. So I thought I’d ask here. Many Thanks.
