Built in Micro SD card reader suddenly disappeared (miix 2 11 3G, win8.1 64bit)

Lenovo Miix 2 11 256GB 3G windows 8.1 64 bit.
After 1.5 months I just registered today that my 32GB micro SD card doesnt show in Windows 8.1. Card is readeable fine with generic USB multi card reader. I have also tried 16GB Samsung Micro SD card and same.
No sound when inserting micro SD card, no reaction whatsoever.
Reinstalled with supplied Genesys USB Mass Storage Device (4.3.0.7)
Reinstalled with newest drivers from lenovo website (same version though)
Tried this workaround

Any idea what else to do? My next step is backup of the entire disk and do recovery to see if tis hardware or software related.

Updating the BIOS fixed this for me.

Bridge 5.1 (and Reader) suddenly disappeared?!

I'm the happy owner of an Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium suite - running on PC/Windows 7 - which has served me very well for a number of years. I always use Bridge to transfer pictures from my camera to the computer. On July 26th I came home from a small holiday, transferred the pictures as usual and on 28th I went away again. When I came back August 2nd I switched on the computer, put the memory card from the camera in the reader - and was quite surprised to see that Bridge didn't open. I tried to start the program manually, only to find that it was completely gone from my computer. It's nowhere to be found. I connected an external drive containing the downloaded suite I bought years ago, with the intention to reinstall bridge - but Bridge isn't on the list of programs I can choose to install. Later I needed to read a pdf-document and realized that Adobe Reader also is gone.
Has anyone experienced something like this? The computer was unused while I was away. My best guess is that something happened during updating some Windows-files, which I did on July 27th. I've tried to revert the system to a restore point before this date, but it isn't possible, probably because I ran CCleaner sometime after the update...
Anyway, the question is how do I get Bridge back? I need it and I paid for it.

…probably because I ran CCleaner sometime after the update...
Ouch! Wat did you do that for? ?? !!
That's a tool one runs BEFORE installing, not after.
The CSCleaner/ccClean tool cleaned up, i.e. deleted, everything related to CC and CS.
You're going to have to reinstall everything from scratch.

N97 wont recognize micro SD card

Hey all, have owned my 2nd n97 for 3 months now and suddenly when I downloaded an application called "shopping list" off the ovi suite site I had major troubles.My saved location for apps from ovi is to my :E drive which has 25gb free space, but after installation of the app I thought id open it and check it out.So I opened it, the app froze, I managed to exit it and then uninstalled it ASAP,.Next I connected the phone to my laptop to discover more corrupt files so I have deleted all that I can find.After that my phone was running like a tutle and would freeze on me,So I thought to remove battery and micro SD card, when suddenly turning the phone on without the micro SD card it would work really well.Question is: why would the phone work fine without the micro SD when I save apps to the E drive ?? I have reformatted the micro SD card and it still freezes my phone and brings up a message "E memory full,move or delete some files" , how can that b possible when I have 25gb free? IM over all these dramas that nokia software/apps has given me. Any help would b much appreciated thanks

It would be adviseable to use a class 10 card in your phone IMO. Anyway, where did your format the card? On your PC? Format it in your PC but DO NOT USE QUICK FORMAT. Afterwards, pop it in your phone and format it from your phone.

Dell 2408WFP card reader

My new monitor has a built-in compact flash card reader but the user guide states this: "Supported OS Windows 2000, XP and Vista". Does that mean that I can't use this reader with my CF card to copy photos files to my MacBook?

It should work fine. You'd need to connect the monitor to a USB port on your MPB for the card reader to work, but once that USB connection is made the card slot on the display will function like any other USB media card reader (I've yet to run across one that fails to work with the MBP).

SD photo card reader is not working; not recognized by PC (HP Envy 700-414) running Windows 8.1

My SD photo card reader suddenly stopped working - I get an error message to the effect that USB device not recognized. How do I get this working again?

Hello @mnskier,
I understand that your SD Card Reader has stopped working. I think you should do a backup and recovery of your computer to ensure that you do not have a hardware issue. The best way to do that is to replace the software so you have ruled out settings or a bad driver as possible causes. To backup your personal information and ensure that it is not lost I would like you to review and follow the steps set out in the HP Support document: Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), which will ensure your personal files are up to date.
***WARNING!! If you want to keep any emails or bookmarks/favorites you will want to back those up as well as I do not believe they are backed up in the HP Backup process.
Next, I would like you to review and follow the steps set out in the HP Support document: Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8), which will you through recovering your computer back to factory settings.
*** IMPORTANT - Your personal files such as libraries, personalization settings, user accounts, and desktop themes are permanently removed. As well the computer settings are returned to the defaults (the way it was when it came from the factory). All apps and software that were installed on the computer when it came from the factory are reinstalled, and their settings are reset to the defaults. Additionally, software, apps, programs, and everything that you have installed or saved on the computer are permanently removed.

Cannot eject usb camera card reader from iphoto

I have a card from my Nikon camera plugged into a USB card reader. The photos import into iPhoto just fine. When I try to eject the card readers using the eject icon in iPhoto or drag it to the trash in iPhoto or irhgt click the icon on the desktop and try to eject or use Finder, the card reader icon disappears for a second, then iPhoto downloads its photos again. There is never enough time to safely remove the card reader.
Help!!!

I tried that once and the memory card was damaged - couldn't use it again. Luckily my photos had already been imported.
Thanks.

Major Card Reader Problems

I'm having nasty card reader trouble. I got 3 different ones. Although they are cheap, all of them work just fine on other machines. However, on my Mac Pro, they're either not recognized and mounted, or transfer speeds are around the 500kb/sec range, which is absurd.
I just tried reinstalling Leopard from scratch, and it's all the same.
What could be wrong?

i'm using no usb hub
on the usb bus i have an external sound card (mbox2) and the occasional external hard drive.
usually I connect the card reader on the front usb
i don't know the manufacturers names, they're not printed on the product (yes, they're cheap - but they work on other machines!!). all i can tell is they're based on alcor micro usb card reader chips, because that's the product ID I get on the system profiler
halp!

MY USB micro SD card is not working and I don't know why?

Is there a sd card reader for iPhone 4S?

Hello.
After failing to find any real answers at the many shops here in Japan. I ask you all the community here this question.
If the iPads can use a micro sd card reader then why can't the iPhone 4S use it? My wife has a PPC G4 PB that has her music that we have for our regular iPod nano we use. Now that we both got the 4S she of course wanted to put her music on to the new phone and get the pics off of her old cell and put them onto her new 4S. The one work around I found to do for the pics was drop box. It's a pain in the rear but it works. Just doesn't work for music. So since iTunes 4.2 and Mac OS 10.4 don't work for the 4S I've been thinking of biting the bullet and just buy a new Mac for my wife. Then I saw the camera kits. Some say 4S OK. But the kit has to be first connected to an iPad then have a usb cable connected to the 4S in order to swap pics. Why can't the kit just hook up to the 4S and then swap the pics to the sd card? Why does it need the iPad for it to do it? If Apple would had allowed 10.6 to use iCloud I could have used my MPB to upload the iTunes library of hers and then have her log in to her account on the 4S. So am I SOL on this?
If anybody has or knows of a sd card reader that the 4S can use or of a service that I could upload her library to and then have her put her songs directly on her 4S I am all ears here.
Many thanks in advance

OK. Can't edit so here's my reply.
Both names seem to be OK if I want to just carry some tunes on just the sd card it self and then stream the music to the 4S. What I am hoping to find is a way to actually put the music (mp3/4) files on the iPhone 4S directly. Judging by the 2 first posts and by what Amazon has on the two adapters listed by xtremecarbon, it does look like I cannot do this. It bites but that does seem to be the outcome of this.
Again if anybody has any leads or ways of putting music directly on the 4S without iTunes, do let me know. In the mean time I'm looking at the 13" MacBook Air and at the MacBook Pro. I don't think I can twist my wife in getting the Pro and I give her my old one. But I sure will give it a try. At least I know she does like the MacBook Air.

Why does my macbook pro's built-in card reader not detect my SD card?

I have a Macbook Pro 15-inch Retina (Late 2013) and it has a built-in card reader. My SD card was working perfectly with the reader some days back, however, now it has all of a sudden stopped working! The funny thing is that when I put the same SD card into an external card reader connected to the same macbook, it works perfectly. Also, strangely, my card reader still works perfectly well with another SD card I have.
So, both the card reader and the SD card appear to be working separately, but why are they not working together?

two things to try
1. Reset SMC data. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
2. Do not push the card(s) all the way into the slot . back it out a fraction 1/16-1/8 inch until it appears in finder/desktop/etc...

I have my ipad notes linked to gmail and suddenly disappeared when I put the sim card into a new iphone, the funny thing is that almost all disappeared except 4 and with different dates up to two years. Why did this happen? No way to recover them?

Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

Alcor Micro Card Reader

When I tried to upload pictures from the memory chip out of my camera the card reader does not recognize the memory chip. HP had an update driver for the Alcor Micro Card Reader but it would not install. My computer is an HP Pavilion p6-2378, Win. 8.1, 64 bit the Alcor Micro Card Reader Driver is for a 32 bit so I was wondering if there was a way I could get a newer Alcor Micro Card Reader program because when I went to the Alcor company they said that they only sold to companies like HP that built the computers. I was told by one of the techs from HP to reinstall the Alcor Micro Card Reader from the recovery disks but if the Alcor Micro Card Reader would not install the new driver why would I want to go to the trouble to reinstall. It don'ta make sense. Is there any help out there?

SD card is suddenly read only (and it never used to be before).

I'm not tech-svvy at all, so I'll try to be as detailed as I can with my problem and hopefully some patient soul will be able to give me some step by step instructions on how to fix this haha.
I've had my MacBook Pro for about a year now and I haven't had a problem with transfering photos from my phone and camera onto it. My camera has an SD card and my phone has a Micro SD.
As of a few days ago, I've noticed that when I insert my SD card into the slot, there's an icon to the top left side of the window when I open it that never used to be there. It kind of looks like a pencil with a line going through it, but it still let me transfer photos to my computer, so I didn't think anything of it.
When I tried to transfer photos from my phone's Micro SD, it does the same thing. I can still transfer pictures to the computer without a problem.
The issue becomes when I want to transfer photos from my computer to the card for my camera or the one for my phone. I've tried to look through similar questions on here and elsewhere on the internet, but all I've been able to gather is that the little pencil with a line through it means my cards are in "Read Only" mode as opposed to the "Read and Write" that they should be in.
I don't recall making any changes to any sort of settings on this computer and I haven't had any recent updates to the software.
Also, none of the cards are locked. I know there's a little swtich to the side of them that manually makes them read only, but I never touch them and they're always 'unlocked' as it were.
Can anyone guide me through getting these settings back to the way they were?
(Since I'm technologically illiterate, I have no idea what operating system I'm on, so I apologize if this is an important factor in helping me.)

The contact inside the SD card slot could be dirty. you can try to clean them by shutting the system down, get some electrical contact cleaner and put a small amount on the SD card contacts and push it in and out a few times. Let it dry for a few minutes (most of these type contact cleaners alcohol based and dry fairly fast) and power up the system. See if the cards are now Read+Write.
Also check the cards to see if the little switch hasn't been pushed into the Lock setting.
Even though these card may work in your camera and or phone they may be at the end of there life cycle. Try a NEW card and see if that makes a difference.
As a last resort you can always buy a external card reader and connect it to a USB port.Some SD cards come with a small SD card reader that plugs directly into a USB port. The only problem I've had with them is that some of them do not go in all the way on MBPs. The case of the MBP stops them from inserting all the way and or if you have something else plugged in to the other USB port there isn't enough room, right to left, to insert another device. Or you could spend some more money and have Apple Care fix it, that is if none of the above work.
Good Luck.
