iriver story <-> Apple Mac <-> sd card ??
I am a bit confused. On the iriver website I read that the do not support Macs
http://www.iriver.com/support/faq_view.asp?fNum=514 Here in the forum I found an other thread that it at least worked in the past. I have an iriver story with the firmware 1.7.1 and a Mac, running MacOs 10.6.. When I connect the ebook reader I can see the internal storage, it's Fat16 formatted but the SD is not mounted. It shows up as unformatted in the Disk Utility. If I read it via with a SD card reader, I see my books again. With another Mac, running MacOs 10.5.8 I could not see any storage. So here's my question: how can I see all my books on the sd card too? |

However, I've never heard that Iriver doesn't support Macs, and I've never had a problem apart from with Adobe ADE, and there's a fix for that on the Adobe site. |

Are you ensuring that the iriver and the mac are fully booted before connecting the usb cable, it sounds as if the story kernel has not loaded the sd blk_device and therefore cannot detect the sd card when the usb-cable is connected.
It works fine using Linux and the BSD underlying OS-X work in similar ways. samac |

I tried with waiting a while after booting before I connected the iriver but that did not change anything? It there a process I could search for in the activity monitor? |

Not too sure about macs, but have you something like /private/var/log/system.log or dmesg? They should tell you if the card is seen. Your best bet would be looking around a mac forum, because I don't think that there is any way to see what is going on behind the scenes on the iriver story.

Try mounting card in a card reader, should be able to use Drag'n'Drop to move files then before returning to iRiver... forget that, just re-read OP...
