What are you trying to do with it? If you just want to get files from the phone such as pictures, just connect it with a USB lead and select 'Mount as a Disk Drive' on your phone. It will then appear on the Mac as a mounted drive.

If you are trying to backup your phone etc - I wouldn't bother, just use your gmail account to sync it all up which backs it all up anyway.

I forgot to say earlier, don't forget to eject the disk/phone before disconnecting the USB lead to save corrupting your card (I am sure you already know this, but just incase....).
