Closed Unassigned: memory card issue [11101]

I am running PCXS on a Mac OS X 10.8 and when I save a game into the memory card, it appears to save fine. In fact, if I "Reset" the game and check for my saved file, its still there. However, the moment I exit PCSX all my saved files are gone. I have tried running Bios and checking the memory cards directly but they are not there.

this might be the source of the first problem I mentioned, every time I try to close PCSX it crashes. I've attached the crash report.
Comments: Closing, as the main issue has been addressed.
