HP GS60 - SD Card Reader Not functioning or visible in My Computer

HP GS60 Product Number FS184UA
Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (32 bit)
Serial number (S/N): 2CE835J6V5
I'm an avid photographer. I have run Windows 7 since shortly after it came out. I have been using the reader regularly since Nov 2009. (actually, I was using it earlier under Vista as well). In December 2011 the internal SD Card Reader on the HP G60-120US ceased to function. I insert a SDHC card and it does not show up in my computer.
Right or wrong I've taken the following actions to try and resolve this issue:
1) Reinstalled Realtek USB 2.0 drivers from the HP site.
2.) Reflashed the BIOS. It was already at the current version F.54 A - I reflashed it anyway.
3). Deleted all devices under Universal Serial Bus Controllers and allowed them to readd automatically.
The re-add of the USB controllers went well enough although it did not solve the problem.
Confirmed that my SDHC cards are good by both using multiple cards in the slot and, when that didn't work, I inserted the cards back into the camera and connected the cards to the computer via a USB cable to the camera. That worked fine (not desirable as it's so much slower).
Confirmed that all my standard USB ports worked fine by attaching other devices to it. They work fine.
What might be relevant is that I do not see anything under disk drives that would look similar to this:
Generic SD/MMC
Should there be? I'm not certain.
If there should be, how can I get it readded back in?
Currently, the only item under disk drives is the ATA drive where the o/s resides.
What is the proper device related entry for the SD card reader for the HP GS60-120US that should be present in the Device Manager?
I cannot tie the failure to any particular software change. While I used the card reader often I do not use it daily. A windows update could have come in, disturbed things but I might not have become aware of the impact to the card reader even if it was an update that did it.

Hi @rlstockwell
I understand that you are looking for some help in how to use the SD reader on your notebook. I am happy to help with this.
I would recommend taking a look at this page from windows.microsoft.com. If gives an overview of how to do things.
Using flash memory cards
Let me know if that works for you, or if you need more.

Adobe Reader not working after update to version XI

I have had Adbobe Reader installed on my PC for ages and have been using this to view my PDF files without any issues. However, Adobe Reader updated automatically to version XI a few days ago. Since then, I have been completely unable to open Adobe Reader at all. The screen does not load up fully with only the top menu bar visible and the remainder a blank grey screen with all menu options inactive or greyed out, and sometimes crashes and closes automatically after a few seconds. I am unable to view any PDF file, even those which I previous viewed with no issues. I have tried running the Adober Cleaner tool but this has not helped. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader numerous times with no success. I have also tried reinstalling previous versions of Adober Reader but have idential issues with these too. I have tried checking system compatability using the troubleshooter tool but this appears to be fine, and have also tried disactivating my AntiVirus/firewall software (Norton 360). I am running a Windows 7 operating system in English (UK). Any help gratefully received as Adobe will not offer telephone assistance as this is freeware! Thanks in advance.

You may have given up by now.. I just hope this advice helps some other user..
Have encountered this isssue several times..
several points I will note: of the machines I have worked on to date: only 1 did not have malware, all thus far have been 64bit Win7 and it seems after update to Reader 11.03..
but each so far I have:
- Checked for and removed any malware and or strange BHO's and Toolbars
- cleared all temp files including temporary internet
- removed Adobe reader and ANY OTHER PDF READER and reinstalled Adobe reader
- Checked that PDF's are associating with Adobe reader (sounds silly )
- Started the PC in Safe Mode - check reader works
                                             - Disabled Protected Mode in preferences: then disabled antivirus, along with most startup services and applications
                                             - restarted in normal mode - Check PDF opens normally: 100% of time for me it worked
                                             - re-enabled the anti-virus - restarted PC and rechecked
                                             - re-enable services and applications by group - restart and retest
So far that is all that I have needed to do.
All the best

ACR122U smart card reader not recognized after reboot...

I am new to POS Windows and have been working with wondows for ever. I was using ACR 122u contactless usb smart card reader with windows XP and communicating with it using java with no problems. Then our I changed the OS to windows Pos ready 2009 and we found out that USB card reader has to be unplugged and plugged back in after rebooting the computer. other than the OS everything else is identicle (driver, reader, java program, ect..). Can any one tell me what could cause this problem and what I can do to solve this.
I have cheked the device manager and under USB controllers it says that it is unrecognized deivice..I tried changing the reader, changing the port and(actually the reader is pluged in to a linksys external usb hub, but changing this to a internal port did not make any difference) tried chagning some settings in control panel.
1. I checked the power option of the root usb hub.
2. Changed the driver.cab to a normal driver.cab obtained from the normal xp version. Uninstall the driver and reinstall it.
So far this hasnt been working.
I hope someone could help me with this.

After extensive tests with Win 7 Embedded and ACR122U, I can confirm the same problem. It seems that reader firmware hangs and the only way to recover is to unplug and plug again the reader. We shall repeat the tests with readers from other manufacturers.
For the tests, we use a Win7 Embedded Standard PC with an ACR122U connected. We installed and configured the ACS Monitor program to start automatically with windows. We made a small utility to restart the PC every minute and we placed it on the Startup directory.
Within the first 5-10 reboots, the reader fails and the ACS monitor program shows " No reader connected" and no reaction from the reader. If we shall unplug and plug the reader again to the USB port everything works fine again.

6 in 1 card Reader not found after installing Windows 8 - HP Pavillion Dv6

I am running a dv6874ca and after installing Windows 8 the 6 in 1 card reader no longer works - the system does not read any information. I cannot find the card reader in the device manager.
Note: I am trying to view a Sony Pro Duo card which was possible before installing Windows 8. The only item that appears under "disk drives" within the device manager is my hard drive.

Try these drivers:

thanks in advance.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

Printer will not work after update to Mavericks

I have a macbook pro and an HP7280 printer connected wirelessly. After upgrading to Mavericks the printer will not work. The first time I used it the system upgraded automatically (I forget what it said but it just went ahead and did some upgrading) When I clicked on something to print it did recognized the printer but just scrolled and scrolled and never printed. So I deleted the printer and reset the system and then added the printer back on - same thing. Any ideas??

It means there is no issue with the driver you are using and with it working correctly on Mavericks. So you have a network issue with the printer queue you are using. Normally a reset of the printing system and re-adding the printer would be enough to get things working again. But since you have done this and your issue is not resolved, there must be some other gremlins in the system.
With the HP connected to the network, if you know its IP address you can enter this as a URL into a web browser. This should result in you connecting to the internal web page of the HP. Does this work?

Camera not working after updating to Mavericks

Hi,
After updating to OS x Mavericks my webcam is not working anymore.
I tested it with photobooth and skype but its not working.
Please advice.
Cheers,
Chinmaya

Use Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
(Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
To find out what you need to fix, you may need to test more than one Apple app in more than one user account.
All works for me, but you may need to update to the latest Skype (Skype_6.9.0.517).

'Sim Card is not supported' after updating IOS 4 to my IPhone 3GS !!! HELP!

Hi all,
I have a iphone 3GS and today i updated the software IOS 4. It unistalled and every thing and then a message appear reading. *'The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported'*
I cant even get into my phone or access itunes or anything! i have restored my phone by pressing down the two buttons etc etc. PLEASE HELP ME!
what should i do? Thankyou. -Brozza

Brozza,
Let me know if you have any luck with this. I was told that there is a hardware malfunction (that coincidentally occurred during the upgrade) and that I need to purchase a new phone. I have been without a phone since the upgrade has been released. I wish I would had known this was an issue before trying to upgrade.

My Bluetooth will not function after update to iOS 7.0.4

Hi, last night I updated the last update 7.0.4. I have done all the updates before so I know how it should go. Anyway I got a message showing my to plug it into iTunes which I did. iTunes then told me I had to do a system restore (nightmare). Anyway, I did that and uploaded all my apps again.
Now the problem is that my Bluetooth is now an issue. I slide the control panel up from the bottom and can appear to switch it on (the icon turns highlighted). At this point I can even see it is turned on in the settings menu. However no icon appears next to the battery indicator and if I try to search for it using another device it is not there. It seems that the phone thinks it is switched on when it actually isn't. I tried doing a soft reset and turned the Bluetooth on and hey presto the icon appeared! So I thought I had fixed it. But no, if I then turn the Bluetooth off it won't turn on again and the problem returns. Does anyone have any ideas? I can't keep resetting my phone every time I want to turn on my Bluetooth!
Thanks for any advice.
Dave

Try a FULL reset. Fingers crossed, if that fails -> a Factory Settings & Updates as required,
then get your info from Your Back Up..
if that fails call Apple Corporate Customer Care.(whether Under or Out of Warranty)

My macbookpro Does not start after Update to maverick

Dear all,
I tried to update my macbook pro to MAverick MAC OS, at the beginning the update process went flawless but after the laptor reboot the display went black!!!
No matter what I do, it does not show anything in the display. Indeed I tried to plug a HDMI cable to try to watch the info in a TV with out succed.
When I turned on the POC, the famous "shan" sound appreas but there is no image in the display.... The light of the secure botton is on !! so it is constant on...
What might be happen here!! my PC was running well

I pass over the info, I did the SMC without succed!!! unfortunatley in Venezuela there is no Store of MAC!!!
The only practical alternative is to have the MBP shipped to the nearest Apple repair facility. I suspect that will prove to be very expensive.
You may investigate if there are any competent local Apple repair technicians.
Ciao.

Camera not recognized after update to mavericks 10.9.1

My MBP camera is not recognized by any applications since I updated the operating system to Mavericks. I updated to the latest version of Mavericks and still no luck. Does anyone know of a fix for this problem? Thank you.

Hey was facing the same problem with my girlfriend's macbook air, but i found a way to solve it:
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
its already there in the support page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Hope it helps

Iphoto not working after updating to Maverick

iPhoto says it cannot work with this operating system npw that I have installed Maverick. What do I do?

What version of iPhoto is installed? iPhoto 9.5.3 is on my computer and runs fine.
Barry
P.S. I suggest you update your profile to current status.

IPhoto not working after updating to Mavericks?

I just updated my OS to Mavericks (10.9.2) and my iPhoto is now saying it can't open because you can't use this version of iPhoto with this version of OS X.
Any ideas on how to fix this?!
Thanks!
Ashley

I'm a total dummy and just figured that out! But now I can't delete this thread... ha!
THANK YOU!

Iphoto not working after update to mavericks. Cant access photos!!

Hello i just got the update for osx mavericks and i no longer can use iphoto.
I would just update it but the update is linked with a old itunes account i cannot remember the password for.
So my question is how do i update it without losing any of my data? Most of my photos were stored using iphoto.
Or if there is a way to access the photos in finder ill just take them off and stop using iphoto.
Please help!! I got like 4 years of photos in jepordy right now.

Hello Jorda5s,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iPhoto. When you update your operating system, applications you use may need to be updated as well to be compatible.
I understand that you are unable to update iPhoto because it was purchased with an older Apple ID that you no longer have the password for. I recommend resetting the password for that account using the steps in the following article:
Apple ID: If you forget your password
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787
If you continue to have issues resetting your password, please contact our Account Security Team:
Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
Once you have reestablished your password, I recommend updating iPhoto.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.
