Memory Card Error

Try checking it on a different mac or a pc. I`ve had similar incident with a sony memory stick. But when I inserted the card in the camera it gave me card error and asked me to format it. After that it worked fine
If the memory card is not recognized in the PC or it is impossible to access the data on it, the controller on the card is damaged. There is only one way to get the data back, unsolder memory chips and directly access their raw data with a programable chip reader. Software can't help, that is a physical damage! Have a look at: SD xD CF memory card data recovery
Download data rescue and see if your card gets recognised. If the program works you can pay for the program and save your files. If this worked you can format your card in your camera.
