No removable drive detected

• Etcher version: 1.4.4
• Operating system and architecture: mac os x yosemite (10.10.5) and macbook air (early 2015)
• Image flashed: motioneyeos-raspberrypi3-20170212.img
• Do you see any meaningful error information in the DevTools? unknown

Hello - I am trying to build a security camera with my raspberry pi 3. I just need to get the motion eye os onto my pi but etcher unfortunately won’t detect my removable drive (microSD). I found an older post that mentioned their sd card not registering and they believed their macbook was too old to be compatible with etcher 1.4.4.

Please help as I am near the end of the completion of my security camera project and am very excited to catch neighborhood rascals.

I had the same problem on Linux Mint. My micro sd card couldn’t be found by Etcher, but was visible in the file manager. I enabled the “unsafe mode” in the settings of Etcher and then the sd card showed up. The sd card is 64GB which is “unusually large” for an sd card according to Etcher (got a warning about it), so it probably thought the drive wasn’t suitable to flash.

Enable unsafe mode, and make sure your os is detecting the drive
