hey all
So I put the SD card in my mac and downloaded the .bin file but I can't drag it on because it says I have only reading permission not writing. The physical lock is not on the card. See my screen cap

    if you drag those folders off the card, maybe you can reformat it and then add the files back to it?

    I also saw a lot of results on google when searching "sd card you can only read mac" (seems like a hardware issue), so maybe those solutions would be helpful as well

    Hi @bat_cancer! Have you tried fiddling with the lock switch close to a middle position, as shown in this video:

    Hey all I was concerned that reformatting might affect the cards interaction with the software. I found a PC and did it.

    I had this issue a few weeks ago and just had to restart my computer, but then it worked! was windows 10.
