"Find your CPAP data file"
#1
"Find your CPAP data file"
Help! After days of OSCAR running seamlessly, I now hit a new snag. In the beginning when I opened OSCAR and had the SD card in my computer it would say that it recognized files, do I want to import? And that was an easy yes.

But the last two days when I open OSCAR with my SD card inserted, it says "Find your CPAP data file" and I have no idea how to do that. 

I have Windows 10 and the latest version of OSCAR 1.3.1.

OSCAR want you to navigate to the root directory of your SD card.

GuyScharf, thanks for the reply. For a non-techie like me, what does that mean though? What do I do next? Up until now it's all been automatic.

RE: "Find your CPAP data file"
When you choose "CPAP Importer", a message box will appear and have an option to "Choose a folder".  Press this button and a then select the "Specify" button. Windows Explorer will pop up.  Navigate to the drive letter that is your SD card and select it.  Select the Choose button.  You should be off to the races.

If for some reason the first step is ignored, you will need to go to the File ⇾ Preferences ⇾ Import tab and deselect the option, "Import without asking for confirmation".  Then repeat the instructions at the top of this post.

RE: "Find your CPAP data file"
This is a "file open" dialog that works just like the dialog when you open any file in any program. Double click on "This PC" in the left column, and then on the drive letter for the SD card. Then press the OK/OPEN button on the dialog.

Oh no, the drive with the SD card doesn't even show up. I took it out and inserted it again, still nothing.

With your SD card out of the computer, reboot.  Insert the SD card and see if it will recognize it.

Remember to properly "Eject" your SD card when removing it from your computer.

Jeff, this did the trick! My card and data are back. Thank you!

I'm such a dummy, I had to look up "how to eject SD card." All these years and I've never known that was a thing.
