(The camera can't read FAT32 I have concluded.) So. FAT16 is what my camera formats a CF card to should formatting be required. The key to the solution was dear Wikipedia which informed me that the max volume of a CF card that can be formatted to FAT16 is 2Gb. I checked using Disk Utilty and the card is formated to MS-DOS (FAT16). Not only does my Macbook read and write to the card but it recognises the card as a camera card and auto opens iPhoto as I wanted. (I went to some trouble to ensure it was genuine.) I have just purchased a 2Gb Compact Flash card, genuine Sandisk Ultra. apologies to anyone who saw my previous post in which I referred to my card as an SD card when in fact it is a Compact Flash card Oh yes, I also tried rebooting my Macbook with the card inserted but this made no difference. I am not quite sure why, but when I reinserted my card into my camera, my camera could not read the card so I had to reformat the card within the camera.

OK so then I tried Mac OS Extended (Journaled) but this failed as above also. This did not work either it failed with the same error msg. I then tried again, this time selecting Windows NT File system (Tuxera NTFS) as I have Tuxera installed. This returned a Disk Erase Failed msg “Wiping volume data to prevent future accidental probing failed.” I attempted to erase the Card using Disk Utility I selected the main entry on the LHS and I chose the format MS-DOS (FAT).

On my Macbook Pro 15” (bought new approx 2010) the card does not appear in Finder but does appear in Disk Utility. Its a digital Pentax Optio 33GS (top of the range at the time shooting 3.2 megapixels!). My Compact Flash card is a Kingston 4Gb card. There is nothing wrong with the card it works just fine in our Windows machine and in my camera. It is a card I have been using with Lion on my Macbook Pro for some time quite happily. Mavericks won’t acknowledge the existence of my Compact Flash card when presented in a card reader (I have tried two readers).
