You know how when you incorrectly remove a drive you get that "finger
shaking" message telling you have done so? And there might be issues with the drive/volume? Well, after tempting fate too many times I finally got bit.
I had my camera (Olympus D-540), with memory card in it, connected by USB. I did my business and instead of ejecting the volume I turned the camera off. Sure 'nuff, I can't get it to mount. The data are good. Pix are fine when viewed on camera. It mounts fine on WIndows. TechToolPro sees it as a device and all tests it can run check out fine. DiskWarrior does not see it at all. Disk Utility just spins, never seeing it. Finder, Disk Order, nor PathFinder sees it. Reboots do not have any effect. Other cards in the camera are fine.

I suspect directory damage. Any help?

Well, upon further consideration I guess I can copy them to my Windows box, reformat the disk, then copy back.

Yeah, I'd say you need to reformat the card. Use the camera to do this. If
you want to keep the images on the card, copy them off first.

I personally reformat the memory card (using the camera) every time I load my photos into iPhoto.

One thing you might try is rebooting the Mac. In times past, I have encountered
cases where an improperly unmounted drive will somehow block subsequent attempts
to mount that drive (esp. if there is a /Volumes/xxxx entry still hanging around)

A reboot cleans up /Volumes, and makes the balky drive mountable.

Not particularly elegant, but...

Heh. Thanks for trying. I had tried reboots.

"No, there is another." I've never used it myself, but SubRosaSoft makes
a program called CameraSalvage which is designed for retrieving
pictures from damaged disks.

Thanks responding but like I said in the OP, the data are fine and can be got on my Windows box. Just a PITA.
