Hello Myrna, Thanks, I didn’t know about looking for the card reader. As for ejecting, I would have thought I did have it focused as the VO+Shift+M activated the context menu.
I’ve just tried again with my stream while the Air is on AC power. Ensuring I use the Humanware supplied cable. The SD appears on my desktop but I can’t eject it. I checked by using VO+F3 and VO+F4 and the Streams SD had VoiceOver and keyboard focus. CMD E nor VO+Shift+m and selecting eject did not eject the volume. I obviously need to do some reading. Now it’s confirmed that it should work. Can you confirm that you are using Yosemite? Thanks.
