New Snow Leopard P2 Drivers

[joel jackson] “Yes, I cannot get it to mount on my desktop intel quad with 10.6.2”
Can’t get what to mount exactly?

Sorry,
I was responding to the prior post. I have an AJ-pdc20 card reader from Panasonic. It mounts the p2 cards great on my laptop but not on my desktop with the same system config, software, and OS.
I can see the P2 cards in disk utility but they will not mount. They even have the correct p2 icons in disk utility. When I try and mount the disc in disk utility says, “the disc could not be mounted, try running first aid”
Not gonna do that. Could potentially mess up the P2 info.

Yeah, I wouldn’t do that either. Try reinstalling the appropriate Snow Leopard drivers again from Panasonic. The PCD20 drivers come in the Mac driver download package.
Are you hooking up via fw or USB? If firewire, any other fw devices on your Mac?

Did all of those things already. No other FW on the bus and tried the USB as well. No luck. I just plugged the thing into my laptop (same mac OS, FCP, drivers…) via FW800 and the cards popped right up. What gives?

From the Finder, choose preferences and then click the “General” tab. Make sure all the options are checked under “Show these items on the desktop”.

Yeah, they are all checked. The p2 cards are seen in disk utility and won’t mount. Panasonic told me that they are not experts in mac and since it works on one and not the other it must be my system not the unit.
Why would they show up in the utility with the correct icons and names and not be mountable???

It’s a great question. In the same Finder prefs, click on the sidebar area and make sure everything is check there too in terms of external drives.

Yeah, I’m good with those as well. This sucks 🙁
Why does this stuff always happen at the worst time. It could have happened any time in the last two weeks and I’d be fine. But alas, the technology gnomes came to visit today. I can’t recall if I have ever put this box on this mac. I think today was the first time.
Any other ideas????

Restart with everything plugged in.
What else is hooked up to the mac?
What other software do you have installed?
-
I have a matrox mx02 in one pcie slot, a tempo esata in another, and nothing else. The pcie slots should have no berring on the FW and OS ability to mount P2 cards though.
No strange software that I can think of.
