  Hi @BramMazda
  
  Welcome to the COmmunity! I would advise you to restore the SD card by following the steps here in the link (Start from step 3). It's the only option left other than trying on a different machine to update.
  
  Regards, lampard

  I also have this problem! I closely followed the instructions that were given in the link supplied by the moderator, I even tried it with a brand new SDHC memory card (8 GB) with the same size as the original MAZDA card, but always the same error massage appears "There are errors on your memory card that cannot be repaired by HOME. To fix these errors, ins..." The original card functions without a problem in the car, but I cannot keep the maps updated because of the error in the HOME app. Both cards also function properly on the computer. Very annoying. What is the problem here?

  If anyone else comes across this issue like I did: I went through the above guidance, but it didn't help. I did come across the following issue:
  https://discussions.tomtom.com/en/discussion/1027012/renault-error-memory-card-not-initialized
  
  After restoring my SD card with the backup made from the steps at https://help.tomtom.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360013961519 as suggested by lampard, and going back to my car and verifying the maps could load, I went back to my laptop and:

  • deleted the 'loopdir' directory on the SD
  • went back to the car and started with the SD card loaded (waited for the Nav to show up)
  • went back to my laptop, inserted the SD, and started TomTom Home

  Right away, the 'device' was recognized. It would seem then that formatting and restoring the card was not necessary, but deleting the 'loopdir' was all that was needed.

  I also have the same problem. I've followed all the steps and advice I could find, including formatting and restoring the card, deleting the loopdir and rebuilding it from the Nav system. All to no avail. However, when I installed TTH on a friend's laptop running Windows it works just fine with no issues.
  
  Unfortunately, I don't have easy access to a Windows machine.
  
  I'm using a 2012 MacBook Pro running MacOS 10.15.7 (Catalina)

  Hiya- repeat problem but no access to a Windows PC to resolve. I haven't got a backup but have purchased maps. The advise conflicts between using Connect and Home- what is the answer please TomTom?
  
  If you cannot help, please refund my Live and Map update!

  Hi, I was having this problem with all the issues noted above, recovery suggestion did not work.
  After much messing about it seem the Mac version of Tom Tom Home has a "problem" with older un-updated SD cards. Mine was from 2013 and had not been updated since. I used the Windows version which recognised the card ok and updated it. Then I use the Mac version and it now recognises the card and can apply additional updates. The card, with updates, works fine in the car too.

  I can confirm what RichardGate has posted, had multiple issues with updating my Mazda NB1 SD card from my macbook. Been trying for a long time to figure out what to do.
  Yesterday I installed the windows version on my sons PC and updated the card from there. Worked fine from windows.
  Haven't tried to use it in my mac afterwards, but that might work now as well after the update. But TOMTOM should fix this issue, so you can update the card using the MAC version too please.

  Experiencing the same issue.
  
  I updated my Mazda NB1 SD card last year: bought a subscription and installed new maps. Now trying to run TomTom HOME to update the maps with no success: "there are errors on your memory card that cannot be repaired by home".
  I deleted the loopdir, inserted the card in the car, turned on navigation, waited until it loads, removed the card, used TomTom... and the same error once again.
  
  I use Macbook Pro, Mac OS X 11.2.1. No idea how I can get a Windows laptop as some people suggest.
  
  
  
  
  Please advise how to fix the issue.

  I would install Parallels on your MacBook. Then Run the Windows install from there. Or simply ask a friend or college if you could lend his/hers PC and run update your SD card from there once. Once updated it works from Mac again
