I'm hoping someone can help me out here.
I recently had the logic board replaced in my Macbook Pro. They also replaced the hard drive while they were at it. Since getting it back though, when I insert an SxS card into the card slot, it fails to mount as a drive. The icon shows up in the task bar, but only gives me the option to power off the card. So it is reading that some kind of card is inserted. Under the task bar it also says "Unknown Vendor" and "Mass Storage Device," but they're both grayed out.
When I took it to an Apple store today, the tech asked if I had the driver installed for it to read the card. I don't recall ever needing a driver from Sony or anything for the card to show up on the desktop. It just always worked. Unfortunately I didn't have an SxS card with me when I took it in so he wasn't able to see the problem first hand. He was only able to insert whatever they had there, which was some kind of wifi adapter or something.
He ended up installing some driver pack and said that it should work once I got home and tried one of my cards. Of course it doesn't.
So my question is has anyone ever had this problem? Am I missing some Sony driver that I seemed to have forgotten about?
I tried posting this on the Apple boards too, but no response after a couple of days. I'm hoping to get this resolved as I'd rather not have to transfer my data over USB.
****EDIT****
Nevermind. I'm an idiot and found the driver seconds after posting this. Amazing what a simple google search will do for ya. I don't know what I was searching for earlier, but found it this time pretty easily. Still don't remember ever installing this before. Oh well.
Go Phils! This game is killing me.
