if its a cheap no brand card they tend to fry and loose footage. i had a cheap card that was supposed to be fast enough for gopro but it fryed and lost a bunch of footage. try a name brand card with a good class rating and see if it works better.

Not a cheap SDHC , it's made by Maxflash. My computer just doesn't see that the card is plugged in

never heard of maxflash. gopro has a list on their website of known compatible sd cards. it could be something as simple as the contacts being dirty. does your camera still read the card? does your computer read other sd cards? try both of those to rule out a problem with either the camera or your computer. then see if another computer/reader can read the card.

try another sd card in your mac and verify it can read other cards

restart your computer? Sometimes that magically fixes problems
