I have a micro SD card in a GoPro that I think might be corrupted. I don't have an SD card reader. How can I check it? The GoPro doesn't appear as an external disk when I connect it to my Mac.
I thought Macs had an sd card slot? You will need an adapter tho.
Try another cable, to make sure it's not a faulty cable.
Of course, you're right - there is a slot. I've never used it so I'd forgotten about it.
However, I don't have an adapter, unfortunately.
Do you see anything in Disk Utility? Or any other disk reading app you might have?
If you've got another device that takes SD cards and uses USB mass storage, you could try using that as a card reader.
Nope. This is a 'feature' of the GoPro - it just doesn't mount as an external disk (unlike eg my Garmin). Apparently older models did, but not more recent ones.
Alas, I don't have any other devices that use micro SD cards.
Poundland and get a usb card reader.
Or if you can wait I can post you an adaptor.
