I use a SanDisk 512MB (SD Card) in my Lumix LZ30, which seems to works

3.3.9.
The card reader is connected to a USB 2.0 powered hub.
I have used Disk Utility to try to mount the SD disk on the desktop,

nothing happened. I also tried to reformat the card but Disk Utility
bombed
with the dreaded beach-ball. Disk Utility was able to detect the Card,
its
size etc, but was unable to mount it on the desktop.
Howdy J Philippe,
I had a similar problem with a San Disk card reader, so hied me to the
Google and found that Mac and SanDisk are not friends for a lot of
users.
The summary of a lot of technical stuff I read was that SanDisk
components are not "standards compatible" - something about their
drawing too much power via usb. Macs don't like this I understand.
This research was done around a year ago, so things may have changed.
