Your card wasn't correctly detected. Let's try again #9

I'm trying to install Coder in SD card using SDFormatter like I do in my SD cards to install Raspberry Pi distros in raspberrypi.org

All the time I get "Your card wasn't correctly detected. Let's try again".

Environment: MacOSX 10.8.5 SD Card Element 14 4GB formatted in FAT-32

Hmm, strange. Some quick tests you can try:

Can you double check that the read-only switch on the card is in the correct position?
Remove your card before starting the installer, and only plug in the card after the app tells you to.

If both of those don't solve things, you might need to reboot your mac. There may be something going on where the drive's device isn't cleanly disconnecting and removing itself.

Good luck, and let me know if any of this works.

Hello Jason! It worked now following the second suggestion (sorry to not having tried it before). But the strange thing is I tried it when the application was open.

So the steps that worked to me: remove the SD Card, open the CoderSetup and insert the SD just when CoderSetup request.

Thanks for your help :)

Strange! I think sometimes that device just doesn't fully eject properly, though I've only seen this happen once in the last few months. Glad things finally worked out for you.

I'm keen on running Coder but the same issue occurs.

raspberry pi2B
SanDisk Extreme micro SDHC UHS-I 32GB Card (recommended by a test)

I followed your hints above but "Your card wasn't correctly detected. Let's try again" is returned always...

Thanks for your help a lot!
