HOW TO SAFELY REMOVE SD CARD FROM A MAC

There are three ways to safely remove an SD card from a MacBook. They all accomplish the same task, which is to unmount the drive before you physically remove it. This is called ejecting, although it’s different from physically ejecting the card. You need to eject the card through macOS before you can physically remove or eject it from your card reader.

The simplest way to safely remove an SD card from a MacBook is directly from the desktop:

1. Locate the SD card on your desktop, press and hold control, and then click the SD card’s icon.

2. Click Eject.

3. When the SD card no longer appears on your desktop, you can safely remove it from your card reader.

HOW TO REMOVE AN SD FROM A MAC USING TRASH

Another easy way to unmount an SD card from your MacBook is to use the Trash icon on your dock. While this method uses the Trash icon, it doesn’t actually destroy any of your files. The SD card is unmounted instead, and you can remove it safely.

Here’s how to remove an SD card from a MacBook using Trash.

1. Click and hold the SD card on your desktop.

2. Drag the SD card to your dock.

3. Drop the SD card on the Eject icon. When the eject icon changes back to a trash icon, you can remove your SD card.

   Note: The Trash icon changes into an Eject icon when you drag an SD card or any other mounted device toward it.

    

HOW TO REMOVE AN SD CARD FROM A MAC USING FINDER

You can also eject an SD card through Finder. This method can take a little more effort compared to the others, but it’s handy if you already have Finder open or SD cards don’t appear on your desktop when they’re mounted.

Here’s how to eject an SD card from a MacBook through Finder:

1. Open Finder.

2. Locate the SD card under Locations in the Sidebar, and click the Eject icon

3. When the SD card disappears from Locations, you can safely remove it from your MacBook.
