Cannot use thunderbolt card reader

I purchases the authentic authorized and over priced official Apple thunderbolt sd card reader. I am using it on IPad Air running IOS 8.1
I plug it in and get Cannot use Device Message USB Storage Devise Not supported
The sd card is FAT formated and has a DCIM directory which I read was required to make the card readable
(Although the same cards were readable on a IPAD 2 with the older non thunderbolt connector
Do I have to also but the SD card from apple to make it work??

hi. you'ne not talking about thunderbolt (Macs) but lighting connector (i know, it gets quite confusing)
"Do I have to also but the SD card from apple to make it work??" : Apple doesn't make SD cards, so no.
Contact Apple Support, these SD readers often have problems

Cannot use the card reader on my Equium A100

I've put my SD HC card into the reader, and ensured it's clicked in properly.
But nothing is happening. I recently reformatted my hard drive.
Can you please tell me which driver I need?
I've seen these on the toshiba downloads page and think they might be of help?
SD memory format, SD secure module, and also SD utilities.
I hope someone can help me, as I really need to get the info of this card!
Thanks.

Hi
I assume you use Win XP.
The Flash Media Driver from Texas Instruments is the driver for card reader controller.
Download it and install it!
PS: not all cards are supported and compatible so if an card will not work in the card reader then sometimes this doesnt mean that an card reader driver has not been installed
Anyway, in device manager the card reader should be recognized properly!

After 10.7.2.update cannot see SD card reader in usb drive. Used to appear on desktop and start iPhoto but now nothing happens. It is recognised by system profiler (usb hub), but cannot find it anywhere.

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

I have Photoshop Eleent 12 and use a Windows PC. I hae been using a Canon EOS 50D for several years, which uses a Compact Flash Card. I have always downloaded pictures by using a card reader wich I connect to my computer. I Go to the Organizer, click on "Import" and select "From camera or card reader". Once on the Photo Downloader, I select the pictures, chose the folder and click on "Get Media" and all the photos get downloaded. Today I folled the same procedure as always, but ZI'm gettig an error message that reads"Import Failed" followed by another message that reads "Nothing was imported. The file(s) or folder(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types, or the files are already in this Catalog." I'm puzzled by this message and don't know what to do o get my photos. Any suggestions?

The organizer doesn't care where you send your photos when you download them via the downloader or where they happen to be when you first bring them in if you use the Get Photos command, but once your pics are in the Organizer, you *must* move them from within organizer or it can't find them. You don't have to use My Pictures at all if you don't want to, but regardless of the folder where you put your photos, if you want them someplace else, you use organizer to do it.

Hi Noob Søren
There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
Hope this helps

Used my card reader to import images, now see "incompatible JPEG" on images in camera

I have a Canon Power Shot A720 and used the card reader to import photos into the organizer. Now when I go back to erase some images from the camera I see many, but not all, of my 'once' images blacked out with a grey/white box in the center & a yellow question mark. Under the box it says "incompatible JPEG". What does that mean? It's never happened to me before, but I usually import my images directly from the camera.

Hi,
I'm not sure I understand your question since it's been a while since I had
trouble. When I had the trouble I was downloading from my camera and
storing them in the Organizer. My problem came when I edited those images
and RENAMED them. I guess the organizer didn't recognize the renamed
photos? Those were the images which had the yellow check mark. I now use a
card reader only, and I store them in 'Pictures' instead of the PSE
organizer. I haven't had any more problems. I think the Organizer, when
used properly, would be the best choice.....I just couldn't figure it out!
Frankly, I just didn't understand the Organizer and was used to my own
method for storage. I think that's what messed me up. I had help from a
computer technician to retrieve those images, and I haven't had any problems
since.
As for deleting images, I only delete images from my camera by using the
delete on my camera. I never, never delete from my card/camera by using the
prompt from my computer, like "do you want to delete these images from your
camera?"
Good luck!
Donna
I don't if I helped you at all. You're welcome to write back or hope for a
really good explanation on the forum boards.

PC-Card GPIB Interface for a Desktop PC using USB card reader?

I have a IOTech's PCMCIA GPIB interface card. It works well on the notebook with LabVIEW. I want to use it on the Desktop PC using USB card reader or other connectors with LabVIEW.

Somebody wrote in about this issue. From his comments, it sounds like it may work.

Cannot use itunes card says already been redeemed but havent used it it plz help
<Edited By Host>

Most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here. I've asked the hosts to change the title of your post as it appears to include the card number.
You've tried logging out and back into your account to see if the amount from it has been added to your account ? If it isn't then was the card complete when you bought it i.e. the part that you scratch off to uncover the code was still on the card ? If it was, and you've double-checked that you are entering the correct code, then try contacting iTunes Support (they might want images of the card and the receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

Copying files to SD card using USB card reader

Everytime I try to copy mp3 files to an SD card using a USB card reader my notebook hangs after just a few MB have been transferred. what should i do?

I myself have seen this happen right in front of me with a customer. Sometimes you have to me a little more selective with your card readers because not all of them work right out of the box.
I have found the Zio corporation readers to work splended with Mac OS X you can find them at Compusa I haven't really seen them any other place. But IMHO the issue is with your reader and not your memory.
As for the part number on the reader from compusa it is as follows that is if you are willing to give it a try....
Thunderbolt SD / MMC / MS Reader / Writer
Manufacturer: Zio Corporation
Mfg Part #: CM28100
Product Number: 332371

Cannot use credit card message

I Keep getting a message that says "cannot use this credit card". There is nothing wrong with my visa card. Why do I get this message?

It is a 'proper' credit card (and it's not a debit card) that you are trying to use, not a pre-paid card ?
For a card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are. If your card does match then you could try contacting iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) and see if they know why it's not being accepted : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management
Or do you have another card that you could try ?

Cannot Get SD Card reader to work on Portege S100

I have a Portege S100-S213TD I recently dug out of the closet to have my daughter use at college. I no longer have the Recovery Disks, etc but I got WIN XP reinstalled and got all the drivrs I could from the Toshiba support site.
I cannot get the SD carder to be rcognized by the system at all. I finally got the SD Host controller "driver" installed (from http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/?page=download)
but the SD Card reader does not show up on MY COMPUTER and when I install an older SD Card, the system does not see it. In Device Manager, it shows a PCI device that is yellowed out too.
Is there a specific SD Card driver I need or does anyone have any suggestions? I am at my wits end with this!

If you installed a retail version of Windows, the order of installing drivers and utilities matters.
Best to restore the hard disk from Toshiba recovery media.
Order Toshiba Recovery Media
Otherwise, use the attachment as a rough guide. Notice that the chipset software followed by the display driver are installed prior to other drivers and that the Common Modules is installed before other Toshiba utilities.

Satellite P300-18M - Is using the card reader for Vista Ready Boost OK?

Hi there,
I have a P300-18M, and, due to getting a new phone, have an 8GB Micro SD Card spare.
I have put this in the card reader, and I am currently using it for Ready Boost, even though I have 3GB of RAM, there is definately a performance boost...
However, does anyone know if this could endanger the card reader? (ie damage it in any way) from being used all the time?
Thanks
Jack

Hmm. I wonder about the 8GB Micro SD Card.
As far as I know and according to some details in the internet, the Satellite P300 supports the microSD (with adapter) card 512MB - 4GB.
Usually the notebooks card reader should not recognize bigger microSD cards than 4GB.
Nevertheless I doubt it could affect the card reader functionality in worst case the 8GB microSD card will not be recognized by card reader
Cheers

HT4101 downloading only JPEG files using SD card reader

I am new to Apple-iPad world,, mostly working on WinXP.
I am looking to buy a tablet to view photos while I'm on vacation and traveling. I shoot both RAW and JPEG files of each image. When I connect my SD card to an iPad Mini, I'd like to be able to download only the JPEG files, since the RAW files are too large and would quickly fill up my device.
I've been told that when you plug in the Apple SD card reader, it treats the RAW and JPEG files of an image as one, so when you download you have no choice to just select the JPEGs. Seems like a huge oversight on Apple's part, to offer camera and card connection, but then be so controlling about it, that it doesn't work for people. None of the 3-4 Apple sales reps I've spoken to know of a way around this.
At this point, I'm lookng at an Android tablet instead, since it doesn't have this limiting feature--though I much prefer the look and size of the iPad Mini screen. .
Has anyone else run into this issue? Any thoughts on a work-around?
(Two solutions that I've thought of--though I don't know if they will work--are: 1) download all of the images, then bring them up in a program like Snapseed, where I can save (really a 'save as') a new JPEG version of my image, then delete the original files that I downloaded, or 2) see if I can download a file manager app that would let me view the different files by size and by type (to identify the RAW files), then delete just these from me iPad)
Best, David.

Thanks Tom, at last an answer!
So it seems I would need to first download the image files to my tablet--including RAW files--(or whatever the constraits are in working with the Apple SD card reader), and then after the fact, use PMP to delete just the RAW files.
I assume then that PMP can view the 'standard' photo folders (called 'Albums on my iPod) created by the Apple photo app (or by the iOS, I'm not sure), is that correct?
This might be an acceptable work-around for me.
Best, David.
