Can built-in device to read/write SDHC cards 4-8-16 GB?

I have Lenovo 3000 N200 laptop which has a multy card reader, but I wonder if it is capable of reading and writing those latest SDHC cards?
I am planning to buy a such card for a HD-camcorder.

If you are using a DSLR camera, like for example a Canon 60D, there may be an option to use a "Low-Level Formatting" on the card. This should make it writable when putting it into the computer.
To test this (and confirm it works) I did the following:
Hardware Used:
Canon 60D camera body
Sandisk 32GB SDHC Extreme Card
Macbook Pro 15" (mid 2010 model) with built-in SD card slot.
Steps:
Place SDHC card into camera (SD card may work as well). Navigate through menu until you arrive at settings that allow the camera to format the card. There may be an option to format it "low-level", which you would then select.
-Note that all files on card will be erased permanently.-
After the camera formats, eject the card from the camera, and place inside the built-in SD slot on the Macbook.
The card should automatically mount, containing both read and write priviledges.
Hope that helps.

HT204384 Why can't my Retina Macbook read my SDHC card?

I have a SanDisk Ultra 32gb SDHC and when I plug it into my Retina Macbook Pro no error message appears, it doesnt appear in finder or in disk utility. The SD card is formatted as Fat32 according to the packaging and this page (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3553?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US) says it should be working...

are you using Sony camcorder? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1793

How to: Create a Program with the rs232 Device -Magcard Reader Writer

Hi Guys!.
Im New in using VB.net 2010 express
and it is my first time to do a project with a device needed to incorporate with it.
I have a device Magnetic Card Reader writer and a i want to create a connection and UI
that interacts with the device alone without using the default application and process.start command.
the main problem i want to be solve is to perform the connection and commands on a single form by allowing the user to read and write the data on a single form.
what i want to do is to create a main form that executes the commands needed to activate the event or allows the user to use the device w/o using the software. with the use of text box and button, while the read executes automatically if the card is swipe
to it end fill out the focus textbox given.
i have here a document that discuss commands for the device and i think it is needed to successfully connect all the process from device to the system
can you help me to do this project? tnx.. :)

Hi,
Welcome to MSDN.
I am afraid that this is not the proper forum for this issue, since each Magnetic Card Reader writer has its API for developers.
You could consider getting supports by connecting with the publisher of that Magnetic Card Reader writer which should have the sample about using its API.
In addition, I did a research, you could refer to
Build a .NET Class for Serial Device Communications with P/Invoke to get how to communicate with that serial device.
Thanks for your understanding.
Regards.

Airport express: iMac read/write to pc, pc can see iMac but not read/write

airport express: my iMac can read/write files to my Windows 8 pc, not reverse. My PC can connect to my iMac (it shows on the PC as a network device) but cannot see any files or folders. Airport docs suggest that my Documents folder should be visible. Tried enabling access everywhere I can think on iMac such as SMB. Any help?

Hi everyone
I've managed to work out how to share my desktop and the external drive attached to it via wireless so my Macbook Pro can see, open, and edit and save photo files via Photoshop Elements.
I can also then view and edit them through the Windows PC - though they say some properties are missing this I can live with.
Therefore no re-formatting needed, and no downloads either.
Many thanks
Regards

Root device not read-write warning

There's a new warning message (https://projects.archlinux.org/mkinitcp … a191b3233a) that goes like this:
WARNING:
The root device is not configured read-write! It may be
fscked again later!
I was told to configure grub correctly but whatever I do I always have to manually modify /boot/grub/grub.cfg
and remove " ro " even if I explicitly add " rw " in /etc/default/grub. How can I make grub-mkconfig not put " ro "
in /boot/grub/grub.cfg? Is this documented somewhere?
I considered using syslinux instead but couldn't figure out how I can install it somewhere else than MBR.

How do I specify 'rw' instead of 'ro' the correct way with grub?

How can I read a SDHC card on my iMac version 10.6.8

I have been able to import the old SD versions, using the port on the side of my keyboard. The same reader does not work with the new SDHC card.

Check your Readers class, see > Secure Digital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If it's to old, then you will need a newer one. > usb card readers - Google Search

Can I download iPhoto Albums to an SDHC card ?

I'd like to show pix of recent trip to friends using a 20" Photo Frame that accepts most media devices. Can I download several iPhoto Albums Ive created to an SDHC card or similar device. I've got a 2009 iMac running Mavericks @ 2.93 GHz with 4 GB RAM

Yes. File -> Export
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
What (and how) things are displayed on the Frame depends entirely on the features of that device. So you need to read the manual on the for the possibilities it offers.

MacBook Pro won't read Sandisk SDHC cards since Lion 10.7.1 update

Hi all, just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I know there are dozens of posts about SD cards not working with MacBook pros, but mine seems to have started when I installed the latest Lion update.
I have a high-end 13" early 2011 MBP and the cards I'm having trouble with are all Sandisk 4GB SDHC. Two are 'Extreme III's" and one is an Extreme II. The card reader is showing up in System Profiler, and a really old 2GB Sandisk card gets read fine, so there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the MBP hardware.
Similarly, I can read the cards fine via a USB adapter, so it's not the cards that are causing the problem.
I had successfully imported photos from the cards before upgrading to Lion, and also before installing the 10.7.1 update. So, it looks like the problem may be linked with the update, but this is purely an educated guess.
I've tried resetting the SMC to no avail.
Has anyone else experienced something like this?

I've got the same problem. I've got a late 2010 MacBook Pro unibody running Mac OS 10.7.1 on it. I installed the 10.7.1 updated most likely on 8/17/11 the day after it was released by Apple. Since then I was able to read SDHC cards as I shot a number of photos and videos to my cards and they worked fine.
I'm not sure what has changed since then, it wasn't as simple as the 10.7.1 update then it didn't work. This is the problem I'm having below, just started to experience this on 9/2/11. I tested with two 32GB SDHC cards, one 16GB SDHC card and one 2GB SD card. All cards were manufactured by Transcend.
FAIL:
* SDHC cards (16GB and 32GB) will not mount and isn't recognized by the MBP via the built-in SD card slot
* SDHC cards (16GB and 32GB) will not mount and isn't recognized by the MBP via SanDisk 2.0 card reader connected via a short USB cable.
* If I put any SDHC card into a SanDisk USB 2.0 reader that is connected to my USB hub (I gave it a try in case there was a power problem with the MBP USB system) the card is not recognized either.
* Even Disk Utility will not see the card when inserted via built-in card slot or a reader.
SUCCESS:
* SD cards (2GB) mount fine when inserted either in the built-in SD card slot or via my SanDisk USB 2.0 reader.
* If I leave the SDHC card in my camera (Canon 60D) and connect the camera to my MBP via USB I can import the images via Aperture.
* If I put the SDHC card into the memory card slot reader of my HP inkjet printer (it has multiple card slots for different types) the card will mount normally like it is supposed to via the two failed methods above.
I'm also sending this info to Apple but wanted to post here since there are three inconvenient work-arounds.

Does anyone's iMac read the SDHC cards?

My iMac will read SD cards, but the new type SDHC card is not read. If your iMac does, what reader do you use? I have an older reader for multiple different cards.
I used to have a 4G SD card which the older reader and the iMac would input. The card broke so I bought a SDHC 4G card and the iMac does not read it.
I wonder if I buy a SDHC card reader/USB that the iMac will 'see' the SDHC card?

The older PPC-based early LCD iMac 1 GHz PowerPC G4, 1 GB ram Mac OS X (10.4.11)
of the OP is a bit different in vintage hardware and design, without a built-in reader.
{Most other references between a newer twice-removed model iMac based on Intel chips
and other improvements, is something to consider in this thread. And that makes the link
provided not applicable to the computer in question.}
The newer external card reader should be adequate to resolve this issue, since the OS X
version should be capable to handle the data once the reader is upgraded. I'd hold off on
any changes in the system software, since the reader should plug & play. The last thing I
do is add software that came with some peripheral, when my system is otherwise fine.
{If the card in question is used in relation to a camera, for awhile, one can just plug the
camera into the Mac and use that to read the card. I rarely use a card reader with mine;
since the DSLR and other digital cameras transfer fast enough & with little battery loss.}
Good luck & happy computing!

Failure to read 16gb SDHC card

White MacBook OS 10.6.8. I can download pictures from a 2gb card but a 16gb card does not even show in finder and cannot be downloaded. Any ideas why and any cure?

The card may not be of a format recognized
by the reader or the computer; so files on it
would not be loaded into the computer...
However, other issues may apply; as I have
a little experience with SD cards, formatting
and have found certain cards do not work in
cameras, and the compatibility varies.
If the card appears on the desktop as a disk
you can click once & use Get Info from the
menu bar, to see what it says about SDHC.
Mine were formatted in FAT-16; so the old
camera saw them. A later FAT-32 would
not work in the camera and could not be
reformatted backward to the old camera.
So other rules likely apply. If the card is also
used with a camera, it may allow you to see
contents of a card via the camera's circuitry.
If so, see if you can get stuff off via camera
and don't use the card reader.
Some cards have different data rates, &
other specs can make them incompatible.
Not sure why that is, with your product.
Good luck & happy computing!

Qosmio F50 cannot read the SDHC card 4 GB

Hello,
I own a Toshiba laptop of Qosmio F-50-series.
As I connected a SANDISK SDHC-Card 4 GB to my laptop there was no reaction of recognizing the new media.
No new driveletter nothing.
Can you help me?
Yours Starmind/Thomas

Hello,
VISTA has updated those driver, and as I learnt to insert the flashcard correctly I have been able to access it :) sorry guys for circumstances but I didn´t use that port properly until today ;)
By the way, there is a device typ called "Storagetechnology Driver" within the ControlPanel/DeviceManager. Under that are listed four different driver-types.
I don´t see any tool with which I can access Flashcards although I have installed one, strange.
Thank you all!
Yours,
Starmind

NB200 - Not reading 16GB SDHC card

Hi,
When I insert SDHC into the NB200, autoplay starts up but then just keeps running on a loop and the mixed content box appears. Occasionally I've managed to see what's on the SDHC card if i click on 'view files' in the contents box but not always and even then autoplay just starts up again.
Now I may be stupid but it's ok to use an sdhc card in an SD adapter? Does it have to be of the same make? I've downloaded both the hotfix and the sd reader driver but neither seem to work. PLEASE HELP!!!
THANKS
simon

Hi chuckles123,
Have you checked the user manual if your notebook supports 16GB SHDC card? This should be done firstly before you do such things
If your notebook supports such cards, update the card reader driver and try different cards. By the way, which 16GB card is it exactly? I have good experience with SanDisk cards, never had problems with them.

Hey connori123,
