Card reader not mounting SanDisk Extreme CompactFlash Cards

Hello,
I am having this issue with reading a CopactFlash card I recently bought. It is a SanDisk Extreme UDMA card. When insterted into a card reader the reader does not mount like it does when SanDisk Ultra II cards are mounted. This computer is fist generation MBP and runs SL OS. I tried it on another MBP with lion on it and the reader works just fine. Is there somthing that I need to download and install do you think?
Thanks in advance,
Farzad

If the card reader is to old it may not be able to read UDMA cards.
I know I upgraded to UDMA, I wrote to Lexar about the problem. They replaced the card reader with a newer model that worked.
You might ask SanDisk if they will do the same thing for you.

IMac SD Card reader shows mounted disk with no card inserted

My 27" i7 iMac has recently started showing a mounted disk called SDCARD001 when no SD card is inserted. Restarting doesn't solve the problem and neither does inserting and ejecting an actual SD card. If I eject the phantom SD card it remounts itself a few hours later, usually after waking up from sleep.
Any ideas?

I'd recommend either calling AppleCare or making a trip to your local Apple Store. I've never heard of this problem.

SanDisk Extreme CF Card FireWire Reader

Hi.
When I import files to my Mac, it doesn't copy all the photos. The FireWire CF Card reader mounts. I can see all the photos in the CF Card. But when I drag all of them, it says it's copying but not everything is copied. I have to repeat the process until all the files are copied.
Does anyone know about this issue with a FireWire CF Card reader with the latest Snow Leopard?
This only happened with 10.6.4 and onward.

Since no one's answered...
I didn't know Sandisk still made this thing. I beleive it came out in 2006 or 2007. A quick search on Sandisk's site, shows no driver or firmware updates, mentions "OS X 10.1" (I saw it, but can find the link), and only mentions " all Capacities - 2, 4 and 8GB." So the info seems a bit out of date, which corroborates the age of the product. [This post on the Sandisk forum|http://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Readers-adapters-and-all-other/Sandisk-Expre sscard-reader-for-eXtreme-CompactFlash-Cards/m-p/189160/highlight/true#M286] infers that the Firewire readers were discontinued, although that seems not to be true.
That said, does the issue happen with all of your CF cards or just one of them? (Or some of them?) Are the cards fast enough for the extra performance of the Firewire reader? (IOW, if they worked on a USB reader, but have issues with the FW reader, then perhaps they cards are too slow? I'm just guessing.) Or maybe even the cards are worn out. All flash memory will eventually wear out. Are these older cards? (More than 2 years old?)
It likely is a compatibility issue with 10.6.4, but I don't know of that many non-pro photographers that used a Firewire CF reader so don't hold your breath waiting for an answer here. If you can't get an answer from Sandisk, then you might have better luck in a photography based forum like [DPReview|http://www.dpreview.com>, especially something more pro oriented.

Flex 14 SD card reader not working with larger cards on Windows 8.1

The card reader in my Flex 14 is behaving very oddly. When I insert a 16GB SDHC card it makes the 'USB inserted' noise and the card shows up under device manager but I can't access it through file explorer. The card reader works fine with smaller SD cards that I have. I tried the card in another, Win7 laptop and it worked fine.
I see a number of other people are having a similar problem and I have followed all of the troubleshooting advice I can find, but nothing is working. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
This is what I have tried:
1. Leaving the card in the camera and attaching the camera via USB cable to the laptop: same result, noise, but can't access the card.
2. Trying to reassign the drive letter through storage controller: it shows the card but if you right click it to assign it a drive letter it says the 'file is missing'.
3. Downloaded the Win8.1 x64 driver from Lenovo website and installed. This stopped the card being recognised at all.
4. Installed the Win8 xc4 driver: this got me back to the noise but no action stage.
5. Updated Windows.
6. Uninstalled and reinstalled the driver numerous times both with the card inserted and without it and with restarting the computer after unistall and after reinstall.
7. Ran Ubunutu from a live USB: This allowed me to see the card and copy its contents to the laptop's HDD.
So it seems to be some incompatibility between the Lenovo drivers and Win8.1. Potentially it's to do with the USB drivers rather than the card reader drivers as the result when using the USB cable and the camera was the same as putting the card in the card reader. Is there a way to update these?
Any other troubleshooting steps I could take?
Thanks.

What size are the cards?
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

In my macbook pro hdmi, usb & SD card reader not working

In my macbook pro hdmi, usb & sc card reader not working.
i have tried the SRM reset done, till not working started.
Could you please resolve this problem,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Simply take it to an Apple Store or reseller if it's in warranty. Your Mac will be repaired or replaced for free because it looks a hardware problem rather than a software issue.
If it's not in warranty, hold Command and R keys while your MacBook is starting up, and reinstall OS X. If it doesn't work, you can't do much more to solve the problem

Dc7800 "smart card reader not present" during POST

Hi,
I've got a dc7800 Small Form Factor system. It was working fine but after a reboot it won't start up normally anymore. The black POST screen appears, RAM testing starts to count up and then I see and error about "system options not set". After less than a second, a blue window in the middle of the screen displays the message "smart card authentication" and below that, "smart card reader not present".
From a bit of reading it seems like a BIOS problem but I can't figure out how to really reset the CMOS and get things working again. I've tried removing the CMOS jumper and booting the system, removing the power cord and CMOS battery for 10 minutes, and have tried putting a BIOS .bin file on a FAT32 USB key in an attempt to use the BIOS recovery option, none of which has worked.
Is there a way to do one of the following:
- force the CMOS defaults to reset and remove the configuration that requires the smart card authentication?
- force a BIOS recovery, with a key combination or by using a different jumper or jumpers on the motherboard?
I see various other jumpers and pads on the motherboard like "ROM RCVRY" and the E15 Boot Block Recovery Header but scant information about how these might be used to solve the problem.
It seems to me that the hardware is fine as it powers up and displays the POST screen. It's like a BIOS setting has been reset to require a smart card, even though there isn't one, nor even a smart card reader, in the system.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
JS

Hi:
After doing some research on the message, I came across this post.
I guess your PC has a smart card optional system.
http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Business-PCs-Compaq-Elite-Pro/DC7800-smart-card-athentication/m-p/10691...
Now, if you can get into the BIOS menus, if you look at the top of page 8, you will see what you need to do in order to enable/disable the smart card reader message.
http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01162201/c01162201.pdf
Whatever the problem is, it is a security setting issue, and clearing the CMOS or updating the BIOS will not have any effect on that setting.
Unfortunately, I have no experience with the security settings or protect tools software on HP business PC's.
I have a dc7800 (and only use HP business desktops and notebooks), so I am very familiar with all the other aspects of the PC but that one.
You may want to post your issue on the HP business support forum, business PC section. Hopefully someone there has experience with turning this feature on or off.

Pavilion dv6 sd card reader not working

I have searched the boards and have not found an answer to my built in SD card reader not working any more. It worked fine until a couple weeks ago. When I go to "my computer", the sd card does not show up as an available drive. I have tried several cards with no luck. The cards work fine when I use a USB card reader, just not the built in one.
I checked the driver in device manager - at least the one I believe is the correct one - Realtec PCIE Card Reader.
Any other ideas? It is a pain having to carry around an extra card reader. Thanks for the help

Good morning rv9a.
Prior to the uninstall did the computer make a noise to indicate it recognized the card when you put it in?
You should go ahead and reinstall the specific driver for the card reader just to make sure that doesn't have an effect on the issue. Here is the link for Windows 7 and here is the link for Windows 8.
Another possibility is the the Plug and Play service is deactivated. Try the following to check.
Press the Windows+R keyboard shortcut.
Type "services.msc" into the box and click okay.
Scroll down until you find "Plug and Play" in the list.
Ensure that it is started. If it is not right-click on the service and select Start or Enable.
I'll keep an eye out for your response; have a great day!

i have done reset PRAM/NVRAM. do you have solution?
thanks in advance.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

Z60m card reader not detecting cards

Hi,
I had my z60m formatted recently and since then the card reader does not detect cards. On searching online I found a ricoh card reader driver which claims to work for the z60m which I have now installed. Still no luck. The green light next to the card reader blinks when I put a card in which could mean the hardware works.
Hope someone can help me.
Thanks

HP Pavilion dv6 card reader won't detect some SDHC cards

Notebook Hp Pavilion dv6-6104so
Windows 7 - 64 bits
The notebook's card reader won't detect some of our SDHC cards. We have updated the driver to the latest version, Realtek PCIE 6.1.7601.90, and the BIOS, but it still won't recognize some of our cards.
We have six SDHC cards, three SanDisk (4, 32 and 32 GB), two Kingston (8 and 8 GB) and one Integral (4 GB). The card reader recognizes four of them (4 and 32 GB SanDisk cards and one of the two Kingston cards). What is strange and that you may have already noticed is that the card reader recognizes only one of two cards with the same brand and capacity!
About the two cards that don't get recognized in our notebook, they work properly in their corresponding cameras and are detected without problems by another HP Pavilion dv6-3138so notebook card reader, as well as by two netbooks of ours from two different brands.
When we connect the cameras (one Canon and one Sony, both point-and-shoot) to the computer via a USB 2.0 cable, the laptop detects the cameras and through them we can access the cards.
We purchased the laptop less than two weeks ago in Helsinki, Finland.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hey Everyone,
Using a high capacity card in a standard card reader slot will cause this issue. Im going to guess that the cards you ar having issues with are the SDHC cards and not the standard SD cards. As Naoto stated, by using a camera as a card reader you an workaround this. You can also look into SDHC card reader adapters. Here is a good article on the SDHC cards: http://goo.gl/lj5Fq
Hope this helps!

SD Card not mounting (SanDisk Ultra 32gb)

Another MacBook Pro Problem
Hi,
I am trying to insert my 32GB SanDisk Ultra SD card into my MacBook Pro 15", however it isnt reading the card, and nothing happens.
I have tried restarting the Mac, updated all software/hardware and still nothing.
Does anyone know why this may be?
Thanks

It's unbelievable. I tried one SDHC Card and two Micro SDHC using two different adapters (one by Samsung other by Kingston), and I had the same problem. The card mounting/recognition by the mac is totally intermittent.
My system is a MacBook Pro 15-inch, Mid 2010, OS X 10.8.5
The SDHC card and both the micro SDHC cards and their adapters are imediately recognized when plugged on my Samsung Ultrabook.
Since I don't have bootcamp here (only Parallels) I cannot say if it's a software (OS X) or a hardware failure. Both things are sad!
