Hi
My USB CF (Compact Flash) Card reader is not mounting on my 2.5 GHZ Intel Core i5 iMac anymore.
Last week it worked fine to get pictures from my camera but now it won't mount at all.
I ejected it in the correct way rather than just disconnecting it but now i cannot get it to remount!
I cannot even see it in the disk utility or system profiler.
I have tried another card reader (a brand new one bought today) and the same problem exists. I've also tried different cards to see if that made a difference and they still arent being picked up on the Mac.
I have done all the usual things like rebooting, unplugging all other USB devices and then trying but nothing has worked.
I'm a photographer and I'm at my wits end here. I know the cards are fine as i have been using them without issue and they are also new.
Note: If I plug the camera in directly to the Mac, the Mac picks it up just fine as it always has done. Its just the card readers that it wont pick up anymore.
If anyone has any ideas at all other than the following (my so called friends advice) you'd earn my undting love:
Buy a PC
Use the camera (Thats why i bought the reader in the first place - importing RAW files from the camera is SLOW!)
Replace your CF cards (I have three 8GB cards two of which i had never used til today and they dont work either!)
Buy a new card reader (this is the 5th one in two days - none work on the Mac)
Many thanks in advance!

OK, restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt. To restart in Safe Mode when you hear the start up tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar. Let it fully boot then restart normally and test.
Also I am assuming you have checked Finder - Preferences - General and see what boxes are checked in "Show these items on desktop." You can also mount an item in Disk Utility, simply highlight it and then look in the File menu for Mount.....

drjil,
It is possible that the subscription is not valid or up-to-date.
If you are looking for U.S. Holidays, here are three alternative choices besides Apple - Downloads - iCal Calendars - US Holiday Calendar.
1. Welcome to iCalShare
2. iCal World - Holiday Calendars by Country
3. US Federal Holidays, ICS format, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015.

My movies are giving a URL not found on server error message, last week they worked fine. After deleting one of them, I don't get any retries for a free download. How do I contact the seller to complain?

Stan -
Thanks again for the simple but valuable tip.
I'm just going to repeat the relevant sections from my previous post with the screenshots this time:
Below you'll see a snip of how my current folder structure appears. It's identical to yours, except there are no button files in the General Folder. Since you were kind enough to include a file name, I did a search on that specific one and it's nowhere to be found on my hard drive. Hmmm....
I've seen others remark on how... "challenging".... Adobe's instructions can be sometime. I'll admit to having the same feeling when I was trying to download and install all the content files and the 7-zip stuff. Is the answer somehow that I screwed up that? Note the 7-zip folder right above the Adobe folder. Here's a screen shot of that expanded folder contents:
Does that look like you think it should? Have I not installed or extracted something correctly?
Finally, the only other thing I can think of to give you as much info as you might need is to include a screenshot of where the "Functional Content" stuff got saved. Adobe's instructions about this (if I recall correctly) were that it did NOT have to be installed anywhere specific, but you then had to go into Encore (& Premiere) and through preferences point to this stuff, which I believe I did. But I don't see any button type files in these anyway.
Other thoughts or advice?
Thanks!

I have a Windows 2003 Server 64-Bit, and when I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 now it won't run, it keeps saying to restart to complete the installation, but I've restarted theserver 4 times, and I still can't use it.

I ended up putting it in DFU mode. It's kinda hard to tell it was in DFU mode because nothing showed on the screen, it was just black, but the sounds from the computer helped to tell me it was connected.
Itunes still didn't recognize the device for whatever reason.
So I used redsn0w. I don't know if I can say that on these forums, but considering itunes was worthless at this point I am going to give credit where credit is due.
Now I am giving itunes a second chance to upgrade to 5.1, if it doesn't work, well, back to redsnow and maybe I will even jailbreak it this time rather than just using the fecovery fix found under extras.

TS4088 Does this extended warranty only apply to the 15" MacBook Pro's as i have a 13" that is experiencing the same problems and was manufactured during the same period...

as stated in the title, im experiencing the BSOD, have tried all possible solutions and its poihnting to the logic board being duff. did they extend the warranty on the 13" 2010 MBP's??

Bad Idea. You see, you are basing your decision on a flawed concept: that a desktop is the same as a portable. While the iMac does use some miniaturization concepts in order to stuff everything into a single box, in no way does it approach the degree it is done in any portable, much less in a 1" thick 13" MBP. Then add the added risk factors involved in something that goes to and fro all over the place, and you will have to agree that a portable's life is much more prone to danger.
But what's done is done and this can now only be a learning experience for the next purchase. Only glimmer of hope is that Apple recently lost a court ruling in the EU and is now mandated to honor the standard 2-year base warranty for electronic goods you all have over there; use that either as a negotiating tool to get it fixed outright or to see if you can still purchase the AppleCare extension. After all, AppleCare states that you need to purchase it while the base warranty is still in effect.
Good luck.

Fox News is my home page, but firefox won't load it...for the last week. Works fine with MS Explorer. Ideas?

About a week ago (15 Aug or so), Firefox began just waiting when I would launch it. My home page is Foxnews. If I wait long enough (minutes) it will tell me it is unavailable or moved and tries to offer alternate websites. I can go to any other website by selecting from history or typing in the url. When I launch explorer, it works without any problem at all. So, I've been using explorer. Today, 19 Aug, it is still doing the same thing. I haven't done anything recently. Running Vista Home for OS.

Thanks for the suggestion.Working my way through, but no success yet. excite.com comes up but as soon as I click on "sign in", I get the error screen even though I have enabled cookies and java script.

My earphones are not fitting properly in my ipod nano 6th gen. it is not flushed and i have tries with many earphones but the same problem is there. What is the problem?

It is in warranty does it need some repair?

Get a magnifying glass and a flashlight and make sure there is not something in the jack interfering with entry. If there is not, push harder.

I have uploaded raw and jpeg files directly from my camera to my iPad (latest version) I have processed them in snapseed and want now to transfer back to my pc for further processing. How can I do this will a flash drive work?

I have processed my raw and jpeg files on my iPad using Snapseed . What format are they saved in on the iPad and how do I transfer them back to my pc where I use photoshop elements. Can I use just an ordinary flaws drive with the USB adaptor? Thanks any help would be appreciated.

HT2494 Hi there my name is Peter i have a Mac OS X processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core i5.I would like to know if i could put my printer 25" from my computer and use a cable to join them, will this length of cable effect my Mac.

Hi there, can i use a 25" printer cable with my computer. I have wireless internet but my mac will not recognize it since i changed routers with shaw.

That should not be a problem. I would see if Shaw can't help you with your wireless. I'm on Shaw cable using their router, and my wireless works perfectly.
One thing you might try after changing a router:
Disconnect power from the modem, router, and computer. Wait at least one minute. Then reconnect power in this order:
Modem. Wait until the status lights show communication with the host.
Router. Wait until status lights show communication with the modem.
Computer. Check that Network preferences are configured for DHCP, and it has a valid IP address.
