SOLVED!!! So I googled around and found a command to enter into the OS X terminal that allowed me to format my SD card in FAT 16 instead of FAT 32 which the disk utility does by default. After this the Wii was able to read my SD card and I installed the homebrew channel. Here it is, maybe this will help someone else someday. TIM will become the name of the card so you can change that to anythiby PPierce34 - Getting Started
Well I installed Windows XP on my iMac using Parallels and it treats the SD card the same way Windows 7 does, as a Network Drive instead of a Device With Removable Storage. This makes me think it is because I am using Parallels on a Mac, when I plug a device into my Mac Windows knows the device is not plugged into PC hardware and calls it a "Network" drive. So I've given up trying to formatby PPierce34 - Getting Started
That SD format program was a great idea but it didn't work. Just like windows 7 doesn't recognize the card as a device able to be formatted, neither does SDFormatter. I even tried the beta version of SDFormatter 3.0 to no avail. Where I would choose the drive to format it is just grayed out and I can't click the drop down menu. When I press the refresh button it doesn't find tby PPierce34 - Getting Started
The switch is in the unlocked position. I noticed that when the card is in the Wii and I go to the photo channel it tells me that the card is corrupted and needs to be formatted. I had been formatting the card and then putting Hackmii and Bannerbomb on it before inserting it into the Wii. Just to see if it made a difference I just formatted it and left it empty.

I've done that a few times on my mac. As far as I know you open disk utility, click on the SD card, choose MS-DOS (FAT) and click erase. Now that I look at it again there is an option to "erase" or "erase free space", not sure what the difference is but I have been choosing "erase". Also you can click security options and there are four options ranging from a quick erase to a 35 pass erase tby PPierce34 - Getting Started
I just went out and bought a SanDisk 2GB SD card to use with my Wii. Why won't my Wii recognize it? It just says this card cannot be used or something like that. What do I have to do, go out and buy 14 SD cards of various brands and sizes to see if maybe one will work? Is this problem common? Is there anything I could try to make it read the card. This is so frustrating.by PPierce34 - Getting Started
