My mac sees my SD card but balenaEtcher does not. Can’t flash to an SD drive if the software doesn’t see it. Any ideas?

Hi there, can you please give us a bit more detail on your setup? What OS and OS version are you using? What version of Etcher are you using? Are there any errors in the devtools (you can toggle that by going to View -\> Toggle developer tools, or by clicking Option + Cmd + I)?

Hi, it was working all along (I’m happy to report). It was my error. The disk was there — I didn’t recognize the name. Thank you for your response, and I hope you and yours are well.
