Apple updates coming

Hi All,

I just picked up the new Air, and it is a real demon on C1 :bugeyes: (which seems to use all 4 threads in the i7). My only problem (so far) is that it doesn't recognize the Lexar USB 3.0 Dual Slot Card Reader. It shows up fine on my older USB 2 equipped machines, but not on the new Air.

Anyone else using it on a new mac? I have a call in to Lexar tech support. I'll report in with any progress.

Best,

Matt

Bummer Matt. Mine is working just fine on the 2012 15 inch non retina. Fast too just what I needed. I'm all done with FireWire 800

No joy yet with the Lexar (and no response from Lexar support! Grrr..) I hear that I'm not the only Macbook Air user with this problem.

The Transcend USB3 card reader, on the other hand, works just fine. It's not as well built, but I'll take working over dead any day.

PS. I just chatted with Lexar Support. It's a problem of insufficient power from the port. They're working with Apple on a fix. I have no idea if this kind of thing can be addressed by a software patch, but I won't hold my breath.
