If the data on your SD card is formatted for Windows using NTFS, trying to open it on an Apple device won’t work.

Plug the SD card into your Windows machine, copy off the files to your local computer. Then, reformat the SD card using FAT32, and recopy the files back to the SD card. It should be readable by the Mac now.

Thanks!Sounds simple enough. Will give that a try.

PS- I currently do not have internet on my PC so am stuck with this horrible smartphone access where it’s a major pain in the butt reading and responding to posts.

I just recalled being told several weeks ago that you need to go through iTunes in order to transfer files. Perhaps this only applies to audio files? Does it in fact matter what type of files they are?
