Not Godfrey, but two things I would try, provided the little plastic
write protection tab is not in the lock position:
-open Disk Utility (in the Applications/Utilities folder) See what it
tells you about the card and if you can format it from there
-open a shell (Terminal, also in Applications/Utilities) and look what
is in there. Possibly, do it as superuser. It would be something like
the following, where ">" indicates the prompt, the rest is what you'd
type:
> cd /Volumes/NO\ NAME
("NO NAME" is what I think memeory cards are mounted with by
default--the name might be different and I don't have my Mac here to
try)
> su
(this will make you superuser. You'll have to enter your admin password)
> ls -l
(to see what is in the card)
> chmod a+rwx .
(that will change the permissions of the local directory so anyone can
read, write and navigate to it)
> rm /Volumes/NO\ NAME/*
(this woud remove anything in the card--careful, there's no undelete here)
Note that the space in "NO NAME" needs to be 'escaped' by typing a
backslash before it when you are in the shell. If you are not familiar
with unix, be very careful about using the "rm" command--make sure you
are in the right directory!
This should do. Strange though that you'd end up with no permissions
to write in that card.
