Brand of SD card?

Have you got another one of a different brand/capacity/speed you can try?

Speed of SD cards is a huge potential issue and 4GB cards being older may not be fast enough.

Samsung Evo cards are cheap and known to work well in the multi kits. I think the smallest is 16gb

I ordered on SAveYourGames. and in the same order on their website , i took MultiF3 + optionnal SD for more €€. so the brand is Trascend Class4

and my other is Toshiba 4go SDHC , not cheap item
 
Know anyone with windows? Macs are notorious about doing awful things to SD cards. It's worth having a friend try formatting and transferring the data.

Or have a forum member write the SD card and test in their F3 multi, just so you can rule out the card/data. I'm happy to help though I'm in the USA.

If you did it on a Mac there's a good chance that it's having issues with the ._ directories macOS creates on removable devices.

There's a built in function called dot_clean that removes these, but you need to be careful to run it on the correct device.

You need to go into a Terminal and run dot_clean /Volumes/SDCardnamehere

To find the correct volume name

ls /Volumes
 
Sorry to go offtopic, but this picture always comes to mind when I read about these Mac issues :P

that sounds like a mac thing to me. Make sure you format it again.
