What happens when you put the memory card in a card reader?

I dont know how to open it up to see a memory card. I a novice with digital cameras and computers. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I switched from a different kind of laptop- an acer to a Mac-book? Thanks for answering, Bjorni!

Any SD card reader will work. Your PC probably has one. It does not, this one will work.
