Peter, is it a SanDisk micro SDHC Memory Card 4GB with SD Adaptor? What model MacBook Pro do you have? Is it one of the latest MBP’s that will read SDHC cards? It should be pre-formatted FAT-32 so that is read/write on a Mac, no problem there. You do have in Finder > Preferences > General - Exte

Hi Mac, Might I also pass on our strategy for preventing dogs chewing and digging. Go to your nearest Op-Shop and buy a large bag of old unloved stuffed toys. Should run you less than $5. Now spread the toys around near something, your shoe maybe(not your new iPad), that is not for the dog. When t
