Camera card slipped into CD slot
My wife was about to look at some pics on our Mac and she reached to put the camera card in the card reader but was a little off and it slipped into the CD slot. What can we do to get it out? Service call from Apple or is there an easy way to get the iMac opened up and the memory card saved. Please help!

my iphone 4 has a SIM card and lately is saying that it is not installed when it is, and it has a small light in the screen where the card goes into the slot, why is this happening?

I replied to another thread regarding iPhoto crashing this morning, the first time that I have attempted to import photos into the newest iPhoto. After posting my replies, I noted that the question had been answered and I don't want this topic to die because it's still an issue with me to a certain extent. So here goes again... I have had 6 crashes this morning when I attempted to import photos with my camera card inserted. It crashed each time. Four of the 6 times I was able to report to Apple about the crashes- the first 2 times the report to Apple box didn't come up after clicking on Report. My work around until Apple fixes this bug is to not have iPhoto open when my camera card is inserted. I drag my photos from the camera card to my desktop, remove card, open iPhoto and import the pictures. Of course the downside is that I can't 'split' the photos into different events...... I hope Apple comes up with a fix for this bug. Judy
PS- I am using the latest version of iPhoto although I haven't checked this mornng to see if there is an update.mrstee:
You can split into events when importing from the Finder/Desktop. Go into iPhoto's Events preference section and check the Finder check box. They will then be split in accordance with the criteria set in that section, i.e. 1-day, 1-week, etc.
To try to find the problem try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, from your User/Library/Preferences folder.
Next, if necessary, boot into Safe Mode and see if you can import successfully. If you can then your account is at fault. In that case one possible fix is the following:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
If that doesn't work then a reapplication of of the 10.4.10 COMBO updater followed by a repair of disk permissions might do the trick.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file. -
I inserted SD card into CD slot how do I get it back out
Inadverdently inserted SD card into CD slot how do I get it back out help please
Happened to me too. Just before I went on holiday and I was clearing off my SD card for my camera. I left it there until I got back (having to buy a new card at the airport) then did a quick search. Found this clip on youTube featuring an L-shaped piece of cardboard trick which worked perfectly for me on second attempt.
You've got to really blame Apple for the design of the machine when you consider the sheer amount of people who have made this mistake. At least I won't make it again.

Camera Card slot shows up as network sharepoint
I work in a mac environment, five computers running osx 10.5 throught 10.8. they all show one camera card slot on the HP 6500 as a bloody sharepoint! Is there any way to make this card plug stop broadcasting on the network short of ripping out the ethernet cord?
Guess which one is the camera card ...
anyhelp appreciated.
parallax44Sounds like an interesting issue, does this displaly constatnly or only when you put a card in the printer? Additionally, is there anything that this is doing which prevents you from using the features of this deviece?
Let me know!

Can a pcie-1x sound card fit into the third pcie-8x slot of P7N Platinium ?
can a pcie-x1 sound card fit into the third pcie-x8 slot of P7N Platinium (indicated by the green arrow in the pic below) ?
what is the intended usage or practical usage for that 3rd slot?
Also, kindly enquire if 3 ways SLI really feasible and any driver is released and tested to support it?
My rig specification are as follow: 1)msi p7n sli platinium, 2)intel e8400 stock cooler, 3) 2x 2GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800, 4)2x msi 8800gt oc 512mb 5) acbel M8 750 6) Samsung 160gb hdd 7) Asus DRW.
thank you. i do like this motherboard, very nice layout and the circu-pipe in particular. lack of sata ports has been compensated by purchasing a 4 sata ports controller card. if the third pcie x8 is a pcie x1 slot, that will be even better.Quote from: BOSSKILLER on 22-April-08, 17:31:47
Yes you can
great to hear that. like that, i can consider buying the Asustek Xonar D2X Audio Card PCI-E as the green indicated pcie x8 is my only unoccupied slot after using 2 gfxs (2 slots) and 1 sata controller pci card.
thank for your prompt reply.
cheers. -
I cannot import photos from my camera card into light room 5v or photoshop
i cannot import photos from my camera card into light room 5 or photoshop
Launch Lightroom and from the menu go to:
Lightroom >> Preferences >> general (tab)
Ensure there is a checkmark in the box “show import dialog when a memory card is detected”
Then quit Lightroom and insert the card again. Does LR launch ready for import?
If not, check that your card is mounted. You should see an icon on the desktop.
Launch Lightroom and click the import button (bottom left)
Expand the tree in the left-hand column of the import dialog e.g. from Mac HD >> Users….down to desktop.
Highlight your card.
Choose “Copy” at the top and either a named folder on the right or automatic dated folders.
Then start the import. -

There is no "into". LR and PS just reference your photos on the hard drive.
When you import your photos "into" the LR catalog, LR can copy the images off your memory cards to the hard drive if you have not already copied them, but the photos are referenced by the LR catalog by the path and filename for the files.
If you are having problems getting the images off the cards, what steps are you using and what error messages are you getting? -

SD card inserted in disk slot, disk inserted on top of it
Slipped SD card into disk slot by mistake, couldn't fish it out and it fell in, now way to eject. Eject and restart with mouse doesn't work, the Utilities/Terminal instructions posted here didn't work for me. Slipped a blank dvd in to see if it would drag the SD out with it upon eject but will not eject with any of these methods either. Please help.
Hi - you're not the first to do this, so don't feel bad.
Have a look at this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2283444&tstart=0
It helped a lot of people, but in your case, with the extra disk in the drive it might be a bit tricky. Good luck. -
Can you import movie videos from SD camera card
Can you import movie videos (MP4) into an Ipad from an SD camera card on a Lightning cable ... or can you only do this from a laptop via Itunes? In other words, is Itunes the only way to get non-Itune videos to the Ipad? Hope I havent made this sound confusing.
To import the videos must follow a very strict naming convention.
All file names must have 8 characters for a name and be located in a folder named DCIM
for example
DCIM
MOV_5789.mp4
You can't watch the videos off the cart, they must be imported into the iPad. They'll go into the camera roll, when you tap on them it'll open the video app and you can watch from there. -
Camera Card No Longer Shows Up :-(
Since upgrading?? to 10.5, one of my issues is that iPhoto '08 no longer automatically opens and is my camera card is NOT seen in the iPhoto window/left sleeve.
Have upgraded to 10.5.1 and to iPhoto 7.1.1 and still no improvement.
All was perfect in 10.4.10
Any help suggestions?Jack:
It is available but seems to be broken in your account. First delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. See if that will fix it.
If it doesn't, log into another account on your Mac and try importing there. If you don't have an account then create one as it's a great troubleshooting tool. Don't add any 3rd party enhancements to the account and make it non-admin.
If the camera and iPhoto work in the other account there is something in your primary account that is the culprit. It could be some preference file, not iPhoto's. If that's the case here's a way to see if it is a bad preference file:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
(if you have problems moving files out of the Preferences folder post back as there is another way to get the job done)
If the camera and iPhoto don't work in the new account a reinstall of iPhoto seems warranted. Do to so delete the current application and all files with iPhoto in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Users folder. Install iPhoto from the disk it came on and apply the latest update, 7.1.

I put my camera card in my macbook and it isn't even showing up on the desktop. My friend with me has the same computer and hers opened it and registered it right away.
Remove it and reinsert it is what I do and it will usually pop up. If not go into disk utility and see if anything pops up and whether you can mount it or not.

I downloaded images from my camera card into Elements. They have an offline symbol on them and the images are fuzzy. What does this mean and how do I correct it?
Do you have your card connected or disconnected ?
It seems you have added images from your card but have not moved to your hard drive, so if you have card disconnected then the images will show up as Offline as the source images are still on card, Elements just have the thumbnails.
In order to solve this, you need to first copy all the images to your hard drive from your card and then import in PSE from that copied location.
Hope this helps !!
