I would appreciate it if someone could help with this issue. If it matters I use OS X.
I've had this happen some times.

In reference to this the N900 will not mount the MicroSD card if it thinks the back cover is open. Try taking the cover off and put it on again or make sure it is tight. On the back cover you can see a little square metal piece. This is what the N900 uses to detect the cover being closed.

If that doesn't solve it take the card out. Start the phone up without it and then turn it off. Put the card in and turn it back on.

My N900 did this to my card for the first few days. After me doing the above and making sure the rear lid is tight on it stopped playing around and has since consistently mounted the card.
