I have a brand new Macbook pro. Three weeks old. I have tried to download my photos from my Extreme Pro 90MB/s Sandisk card but the computer doesn't recognize the USB reader. If I change the card and I put a cheap CF card the computer reads it without any problem. I have tried with both 8GB and 16GB CF cards. My pc and my older mac reads the high speed CF card but not the latest MacBook Pro.
I am wedding photographer and I use professional grade high speed CF cards. I think it is a big joke if the Macbook "PRO" wouldn't read professional grade Cf cards.
I have tried everything. The macbook pro only likes the cheap cf cards. I guess the macbook is not really a "PRO"!
I bought the computer for destination weddings to back up and view photos after the wedding day but so far it is totally useless for me!!!
What's going on??? HELP!

I had massive usb problems on a new macbook pro, seems the same vintage as yours. The only solution I found was to return it and buy the newly released version which works fine.
I hope you can solve your problems or can still return and exchange.

Have you asked Apple?

Have you tried another card reader? Not all readers obey the OHCI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Host_controller_interface) rules; and there’s UHCI (http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/u/uhci.htm) too. Don’t blame the MBP unless and until you’ve exhausted all avenues of testing.
I have used other people’s card readers to be greeted with a notification that the ‘disk could not be read by this Macintosh’ (words to that effect).
