Hello mcintire and welcome to the Palm forums.
You are having touble with the 2GB cards because the Tungsten E2 only supports cards with a max capacity of 1GB. For more details, please see this Palm KB article.

IPhoto won't recognize SD card placed directly into my iMac's SD slot.

iPhoto won't recognize SD card placed directly into my iMac's SD slot. Image Capture shows the name of the SD card but does not show any photos. If I use the Finder I can see all of the photos on the sd card so I know they are there. I've previously imported lots of photos from teh SD slot directly into iPhoto. Tried a second SD card with the same issue.
Any ideas? Thanks for the help
Using iPhoto 8.1.2
Mac OS 10.6.8

Make a temporary, backup copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
any tips on how to recover those lost photos?
If you don't recover the photos with the above you'll need to run a recovery app like MediaRECOVER to recover the photos from the memory card.

A665-s5184x won't recognize SD card

I bought a used Satellite a665-s5184x with a dead hard drive. I replaced the drive and ordered the restore DVDs from Toshiba. It's up and running, but it won't recognize a 2GB SD card plugged into the computer's SD card slot. It WILL recognize the card if I use an external USB card reader.
I've downloaded and installed the SD card driver from the Toshiba web site and restarted the computer but it made no difference.
Any suggestions?

Everything should have been working after using the recovery media. If the SD drive never worked after that, it sounds like it may be hardware failure that happened at the same time.

Week old Macbook Air 2014 won't recognize SD card? At all?

I just bought my first apple computer, and I'm still adjusting to this whole mac thing, but my mac air won't recognize my fully functioning SD card? My PC could read it however.
Is there a program am I supposed to download or something? I made sure the SD card is unlocked and someone even told me to blow in the slot and I did and had someone laugh at me...
I don't know if this is useful info but it's a SanDisk SDHC 32gb card. I'm travelling in like a week and seriously need to empty out my SD card on my laptop. Thank you.

Then I would try a different brand of card. If you still have a problem, then I would make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service. Or switch to USB flash drives.

IPhoto 9.5 won't recognize USB card reader.

I loaded Mavericks this week with iPhoto 9.5. But now iPhoto will not read a card reader and gives me a message that the card reader was ejected improperly. When I force quit iPhoto and reopen, it won't open the card reader so I can import pictures. I have tried several times to get it to read the card reader. Any ideas?
Nevermind, I found someone else's reply about Image Capture. That worked!

iPhoto 9.5 immediately tries to "upgrade" my library using the upgrader.
iPhoto 9.5 asks you to run the upgrader to prepare the library for 9.5. It then will update the library to its format.
You need to do the following:
1 - go to your Applications/Utilities folder and double click on the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application.
2 - select Choose Library, navigate to your iPhoto library, select it and let the upgrader do its thing.
3 - launch iPhoto 9.5 to open and finish the conversion of the library.

After upgrade to E2, it won't recognize SD card anymore?

Hi, I just followed the palm directions to upgrade from a Tungsten E to E2. Before the hotsync the palm recognized my SD card, but it doesn't recognize it anymore afterwards. Am I missing something in the hotsync process?
Thank you!

I have a 512mb panasonic SD card from way back that worked on my old Tungesten E, so I am sure that's not the problem. I went through the recommended upgrade steps faithfully with the new Palm Desktop moving a bunch of my old applications into a folder that aren't E2 compatible, then it went ahead and supposedly restored everything. However, it failed to recognize my SD card afterwards no matter what. I found a thread on here that said it may be incompatiblity issues with old software, so I ended up manually restoring my contacts/memos etc and then reinstalling some of the old software.
I must say that I am very disappointed with the whole upgrade process. I should've bought an used Tungsten E in retrospect so I woulnd't have to deal with all the hassle.
As an aside, now that my E2 is semi functional I found that my screen calibration is off, such that I had a hard time tapping on the bottom of the writing area to get the keyboard. I played around for hours to see if I can trick the touch screen application into adjusting, but the best I could do is get the keyboard to work but near the upper portion of the screen it's still off. I do have a screen protector but it's very well plastered to the screen. Do I have a defective unit?
Thanks.

Tungsten E2 will not recognize SD card

I am writing in regards to a Palm Tungsten E2 which I received for Christmas. This device was purchased from the Palm store in November, but not opened until Christmas. The problem is that the device will not recognize a SD card when inserted. I am using new SanDisk 512 Mb, and 1 Gb SD cards. When I go to card information in the Applications menu, it says "no card inserted". Also, there is no sound when the card is inserted, though it will turn the device on, which indicates that there is some form of recognition. I have checked under Preferences and the sound option is on. Also, I have checked and the card is in the unlocked position. Any advice that you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I have been a Palm user for more than seven years now, first with the Palm 500 and then with the Zire 71. I use it extensively for work and am lost when I don't have it.

The easiest way is to connect the SD card to a computer using an SD card reader. Most laptops have them built in.

System won't recognize microSDHC card

I just purchased a SanDisk 4 GB microSDHC card to use with my phone. I tried to connect it to my mac via the front USB port in order to load some music & pics on it. I am not able to get the finder to locate the card, however. I have gone into finder general preferences, and all boxes are checked to show items on the desktop (my external drives show up on the desktop just fine). I went into disk utility to try and format it, but it doesn't show up there. When I go into the system profiler, I can see it as "MobileMate Micro" on the USB device tree, but otherwise cannot seem to get to it.
The reader I'm using is the one that came with the card, so that shouldn't be an issue. I have a PowerPC G5, running 10.4.11. Hopefully someone has an idea how to make this work. Thanks in advance!
Tanya

I'm in the exact same boat, only difference is that I'm using my card with a Canon Digital Rebel. I can get the images to download to my computer only when I connect the camera and use the software that came with the camera to download. It won't even do that if I just stick the memory card into my Belkin card reader. I have an old SanDisk 256mb card that I stuck in the reader and that one worked (it was formated on a PC, I don't know if that makes any difference).
So yeah, this is really rather frustrating to me, especially because now I have to take out my huge-bum SLR camera and connect it through a USB cable.

Suddenly won't recognize memory card

Hi all. I have a MacBook OS X 10.5.8, have had it for a couple of years, and have always imported photos from my camera's memory card (Sony) to iPhoto via a USB card reader. Haven't ever had a problem with it, usually when I plug it in, iPhoto opens right up and everything's good.
Today, out of the blue, when I put the card in the card reader and plug it into the USB port, the computer doesn't seem to recognize that it's there at all. iPhoto doesn't open and nothing seems to indicate that the computer knows anything is plugged in to the USB - doesn't appear on the desktop or in Finder anywhere. The lights on the card reader light up when I plug in the card and when I plug in the USB to the computer, so it seems like the reader is working fine and recognizes a connection with the computer, but not vice versa. I have no idea why this is happening; I just used the exact same card less than a week ago and it worked fine. Since then I've downloaded one update from Apple (something about security), but I can't think of anything else that could be different.
Any ideas? I have some vacation pictures on there that I really would love to access! Thanks!

Won't recognize memory card

Hello,
I recently purchased a BlackBerry Pearl 8100 and just bought a 4 GB micro disk to increase my memory, however, my BlackBerry doesn't recognize the memory card. When I go into the Advanced Options and Media card it says "A media card is not presently inserted in the device." When I go to the options menu, format card is not even an option. And I've tried to turn off the Mass Storage Mode and saved it and gone back into the Media Card options to format, but it is still not an option. Does anybody know why the media card is not being seen by my BlackBerry? I've heard that a software update would possibly need to be downloaded but haven't been able to find where that would be. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Desktop Manager Won't Recognize Media Card Installed

I have installed a media card in my device. I have changed the default storage of new pictures to the card. I would like to move the other images from device memory to the media card, but Desktop Manager will not recognize the media card is installed. The media card does contain images, and I have successfully emailed attachments. How can I get Desktop Manager to recognize the media card?

Hi there!
Here are some instructions for configuring your BB and Media Card to appear as USB drives within Windows:

The only difference might be the version of DTM to use...5.0 is the current version.
Good luck!

New droid won't recognize sim card

I just received a replacement for my motorola droid 4. In the start up tutorial, first thing it says it take out sim card from old phone and put it in the new one. I've done that but the screen stays on A SKM card is needed to operate this phone. Please turn off your phone and insert your SIM card. I have powered off and re inserted the SIM card several times but it continues to not recognize that the SIM card is installed. HELP!!!

Perhaps the SIM is corrupted... you can get a new one free at a corporate Verizon store, or call CS and they can send you one in the mail.
In the meantime, be sure the SIM is seated securely, and don't touch the gold contacts. Though I would think with reinserting the SIM several times it would be detected....
Are you sure you are inserting the SIM (a white card with numbers on it, goes in the bottom slot) and not the SD Card (typically black, and a bit smaller than the SIM, and sits in a slot above the SIM).

One of three things is going on here. Either the SIM is being inserted incorrectly into your replacement phone, the SIM itself needs to be replaced or the SIM slot on the replacement phone is faulty. It's possible that if you touched the gold contact on the side of the SIM card that it was corrupted and now isn't responding inside of your phone.

I have Mac mini Mid 2010. It will no longer open photo memory card in SD reader. It also won't recognize a card reader device when connected to USB. It never had this problem before. Any thoughts?

Do other USB things work?
Do they show up in Disk Utility at all?
