Unable to transfer EOS R5 Mark II firmware update to card

[Scubachuck]

Trying to update R5M2. First time went without issue. Now I’m unable to transfer the .fir file to my card. I’m using the correct operating system, Mac. l know to put it in the root. I’ve tried both cards. 
what am I missing? Thanks

That’s exactly what I do, but the .fir file just bounces off the card icon.

John,

Thankyou for your help. 
I just drag it to the card, not to any folder. It just bounces back.

You said CF card. I am assuming CFExpress based on camera model. I am not aware of any locking feature for those cards. If it was an SD card there is a lock. 

Edit- Deleted. I misread camera model.

There is 1 SD card and 1 CF express. But you thought was perfect, I never would have thought of it. No on and off switch. I did write to Angelbird to  ask them if they had an idea. I will let you know. 
I really appreciate your help. I’m 8o and things don’t come quickly any more

That’s exactly what I do. The file does not download to the card when I drag and drop. 
I just wrote to Angelbird to ask them if they know what’s going on. The cards work when I take a photo so they should be a problem. 
‘Thanks for helping.

John,

I thought that I would tell you the solution. I’m not real bright. I wrote to Angelbird and asked them. My card and reader are Angelbird. On the reader there is a very tiny switch that prevents writing on the card. That was on. I turned it off, everything worked. 
‘Thanks for all your effort.

Glad it worked out. I never saw that feature on other card readers. It would be easy to miss. Select Solved so others don’t chime in. Happy Holidays to you as well.
