Hope somebody can help me with this topic...!

When using the SD card slot of my MacBook Pro M2 Max (Sequoia 15.6.1) to download images from a SD card I always get the message "Allow accessory to connect" when I have the card previously formatted in camera (to delete former images). So far, so good.

The problem I face: The message pops up and I can press "Allow" when working in my account on the computer, all works fine. But when working in the account of my wife the message only pops up for a short moment, no time to press "Allow" or anything else, then the message disappears again and the card does not get connected.

My account is an Administrator account, the account of my wife a standard user account? Can this be part of the issue? If so, then that does not really make sense, as using the SD card reader should be possible on all accounts, at least from my point of view.

Any ideas how to fix this issue?

Herbert

If you format the card every time you use it, you may have to do the above each time.
