Help To Clear The Memory Card On My Crenova Trail Camera Please.

[ladybirder]

I bought this camera on Woofgang's advice and am very pleased with it. I view the videos on the memory card through my MacBookAir laptop. Some days when I right click the MC to clear it, that option does not appear. Other days it does and I can clear it. I just can't see what I am doing differently on one day to another. Any ideas?
A second problem is when I clicked to eject the Memory Card this morning I got the message "The disk couldn't be ejected because the Finder is using it. Stop the Finder action and then try to eject the disk again". This has happened today for the first time and I have looked in Finder and haven't a clue what's going on.

Hopefully woofy is around and can help me or anyone who has experience of these cameras. Thanks.

click on the apple and choose force quit...everything doing an action will show up and you choose what you want to quit.

oh sorry, I manage deleting through finder, open the card as though it was a EHD or usb and highlight what you want to delete then file, move to bin

Thank you so much Woofy. Easy when you know how.
Looking forward to more creatures appearing as Spring gets nearer. My regular Mrs Fox piddled on my camera last night. Of course I didn't realise that when I picked it up this morning until I looked at the videos. Yuk.

There should be an option on the camera to format the card.

Finder hogging the card - if you've been looking at the images then make sure that you don't have a program open that may be using the card. Also close any windows relared to the card.

If all else fails, do the force quit.

My hedgehogs have never messed on my cameras - they've sniffed them occasionally, and knocked them over!

Your hogs aren't still about now are they Tuvok?
