Can I use a SD card for extra storage?

I want to add storage for my macbook pro retina because I'm running out of space. Can I use a SD card that I will leave in the macbook?
This looks like just what I need. The ad says I won't even know its there.

Don't do that. The SD card reader inside is not meant for that, and it will not work.
Buy an external disk of good quality, USB3, format it correctly < Mac OS Extended (journaled) >, do not install any software that came with it, and start using it.

  • Can you add a SD card for extra memory?

    My question is super simple.
    I use AT&T, if that makes a difference. I've heard mixed answers from people, so I'm looking for someone who really knows what they are talking about.

    No, you cannot use an SD card for extra memory. Access the iPhone users manual and you will see there is no SD slot.

  • Can i use an sd card for time machine

    Can I use an SD card for my Time Machine backups?  If so, what capacity would be required?  Thanks.

    The device you use for Time Machine backups should have at least twice the capacity of the drive you're backing up. For the vast majority of users, this means an SD card is not a practical option at all.
    You can, however, make good use of an SD card for quick manual backups of your current documents while you're away from your desk or office and your Time Machine backup drive.

  • HT201209 Can I use iTunes gift cards for iBooks?

    Can I use iTunes gift cards for iBooks?  How?

    Yes, I've used them to buy from the ibookstore, app store, iTunes and the Mac App Store. They can be used in the ibookstore in the iBooks app (or via your computer's iTunes) in the same way as you use your account's balance to buy music or apps - so you first need to redeem a gift card so that it gets added to your account, and you can then buy things from the stores with it.

  • Can I use Paypal to pay for Icloud storage?

    Can I use Paypal to pay for Icloud storage?  We are getting messages that we are exceeding the 5GB of free storage and need to pay for additional storage.  I can use Paypal on ITunes but don't see that option with Icloud storage?   What am I doing wrong?

    The payment associated with your account is for all iTunes and App store related purchases. If you already have a valid payment method in place, you shouldn't be asked for one when you purchased additional iCloud storage.

  • Can I use one gift card for two apple ID at the same time?

    Can I activate one gift card for two different apple ID and use amount from gift card like bank account?

    No, an iTunes gift card can only be redeemed onto one account, and it can be used to buy content for that account (you can't, for example, redeem it on an account and then use some of it for gifting content to another account).

  • Can I use 2 graphic card for optimisation in adobe?

    Hi, I am using Adobe CS6, Premiere pro, After effect, Photoshop, InDesign.
    Current set up is Dell XPS 8700, GTX 650 Ti, 128gb Plex SSD, 2TB 72krpm HDD, 16DDR3 non-ECC ram.
    I am looking to build a LGA 1366 dual xeon processor workstation.
    Plextor M5 Pro as main hardisk for application cache
    2x Intel Xeon X5570
    16ddr3 10600Registered/ECC ram
    SAS 10k rpm HDDs support 6gbps but I only using 3gbps controller (media drives)
    Graphic cards:
    1x Nvidia Geforce GTX 650 Ti
    1x Nvidia Quadro FX 1800
    Need advice on the possibility of using both graphic cards in my upcoming set up.
    eg, ulitilising the Cudas on my GTX while still enabling the use of quadro fx 1800. (not sure if Quadro fx1800 can enhance the flow..)
    If able, pls share some light on how to go about enabling both graphic to use in adobe
    My work is mainly, photo and video editing.

    Hi Stormancer,
    You cannot use two different graphics cards in SLI which is the main benefit of having two cards.
    As far as I am aware the FX1800 is optimised for CAD use when you state mainly editing photo and video so I can't see that card being particularly beneficial to you.
    If you can afford it why not just buy a better spec single card either the Quadro or GTX? 
    I currently run a Windows 7 64-bit system with an i7 3700k, three SSD 6/Gbps, RAID 6/Gbps and 2300 Mhz memory with a recently upgraded GTX 680 and find it more than capable of both photo and HD video editing plus some After Effects work.  I would class myself as a serious Hobbyist (with 30 years PC experience) and suspect that yes you need the latest kit if you are editing professionally because of the deadlines and high quality required but once you reach a certain level, the gains are very negligible.
    While I was looking to upgrade my card, people on here suggested the Quadro K5000 mainly because I have a 10-bit NEC PA301W (25th anniversary present off hubbie) but this card was out of my budget so I settled on the GXT680 and find it more than capable for my needs.  It is much faster than the old Radeon 5770 I had.  However, while researching I came across this site which explains the way Mercury GPU is utilised, you may find it helpful:

  • HT4009 Can I use a gift card for in-app upgrades?

    I received an apple gift card for my birthday, and was wondering whether it was possible to use it for upgrading my already downloaded apps in order to unlock their paid features. Is there some special way I need to go about this so that I don't lose my existing content? Thanks.

    Yes you can, there is nothing else that you need to do.
