Card Reader that works with Camera Connector!!

Yes, for a mere $12,000, I'll give you the info as to the brand name and where to get it...
OK, but seriously, I was at Surplus Computers in Santa Clara yesterday, and they have all kinds of weird parts 'n stuff. I picked up an OLD Belkin Dual USB Media Reader for CompactFlash & SmartMedia (toldja it was old!)
When I got home, I hooked it up and successfully transferred some pix from one of my CF cards. The thing was only ten bucks!!
I tried to look on Surplus Computer's website to see if it was listed there, but no dice. Guess you gotta hit the store in person.

Just discovered today - a Compact Flash Media Card Reader that connects to the iPod Photo (30 gb) with the Apple camera connector. Best of all is that it only costs $15 Canadian.
Thank you to The Source (used to be Radio Shack in Canada) and London Drugs computer department employees who let me bring in my iPod to test on all their Media Cards.
And the winner is:
London Drugs - Simple Perfection Card reader/Writer Model CR-T2-UC. This is a USB 1.1 device that comes with a cable (not required). Supports both Type I & II Compact Flash cards or IBM MicroDrive. Plug & Play.
Procedure - CF card into Simple Perfection. Turned on iPod and plugged in Apple camera connector - iPod reads "Connecting". Plugged in Simple Perfection - iPod reads downloading or some such comment. 2 Menu selections and download begins.
Results/specifications:
Sandisk Ultra II 512 mb card with 100 images totalling 260.74 mb (each image about 2.33 mb) took 9 minutes. These images are 3008 x 2000 in size (Fine). Perfectly acceptable. iPod still at about 3/4 power which is where I started.
Sandisk Type I 512 mb card with 20 images of about 2.33 mb each took 1 minute (very close to 2 minutes). Also acceptable. Same resolution. Still 3/4 power left in iPod which is were I started.
iPod to Mac computer and all downloaded perfectly.
The reverse side of the Simple Perfection case shows that this device is available in 10 countries - sorry but I don't know all the flags - NOT USA but Britain, Australia, France, Japan, Italy, + + +. CD in the package too but I won't be setting up on a computer as I already have card readers on my computers.
By the way I use NIKON 5000, 8700 and D70s (SLR) and all 3 download to iPod with the camera connector - make sure you have PPT enable.
Hope that helps all! I am most impressed with this little $15 device! Yahoo! Yippee!

Small CF card reader that works with the iPad Camera Kit?

I'm looking for a small (not much bigger than a CF card) CF Card reader that works with the iPad Camera kit (USB piece) - Anyone know of one?
All the ones I see people suggesting are big and bulky (made for a desktop). I know there are many smaller ones, but that the iPad camera kit doesn't work with everyone. Anyone know one that works with it?

My set up, quite compact for travel, this is a no brand version but I have seen other ones branded Integra or something similar.

Acrobat 9 does not recognize the smart card reader that work with other app. Can someone help me?

Hi to All,
Acrobat 9 (included in CS4 design premium) does not recognize the smart card reader. I have a smart card reader ACR38 smart card that works with all applications except Acrobat 9 pro. I tried to uninstall and reinstall it again, but when I try to insert the digital signature message is always the same, that does not find the Acrobat reader. Can someone help me?

Hi MartinR
Thank you for your reply, i have tried what you suggest, and it did not work, the i DVD opening title changed but not the embedded movie.
Perhaps it is a setting in Final Cut Express?
After capturing my footage, i open a new project then i convert all clips to anamorphic, to give me the letterbox effect, i have tried now with and without anamorphic.
In my canvas screen, the footage does not fill the square, even if i have not selected anamorphic, and fall well within the TV safe areas, but the only way to ill the canvas up is to crop it bigger, but still when i export it does not give me the full screen view.
Any ideas?

Camera card reader that works with video iPod

I have tried a San Disk, Lexar, and another card reader, but can't find one that is supported by the camera connector. It works fine with my Nikon D100, but that is USB 1.1 and I am looking for a faster download using a USB 2.0 card reader.
The on-line manuals state it can be done.
Any suggestions?

I have the Sony MSAC-30US card reader and tried to hook it up to my 30 gig 5g ipod with the camera connecter and it said that it did not recognize it. The apple website says that it will support tranfer of pictures directly from camera but I do not have the cable. I ordered the cable for my camera to usb so I can hok them up together

Mics and audio interfaces that work with Camera Connector

FYI: After playing with the Camera Connector I have been able to connect USB recording gear for use with MultiTrack DAW app on the iPad. The Blue Yeti, Samson's GTrack and Roland's Cakewalk Audio Interface all work for inputting audio. All three have internal headphone jacks which work for monitoring both the input and multitrack recordings.
One caveat with the Yeti: it appears to be almost at the limit of the power that the iPad's USB Camera Connnector can supply. Some headphones and earbuds shut down the mic. Sennheiser HD280 phones work fine, but some of the Sennheiser buds don't.

It has been reported before that a lot of USB audio devices (e.g., headsets, microphones). As an example see:

Anyone know of any greeting card program that works with OS x?

anyone know of any greeting card program that works with OS X?

There is no solution. The Canon UFR2 driver used by the MF series does not work when connected to a Windows share or a wireless print server, including the Airport Extreme or Express. The problem is wholly to do with the way in which Canon has written this driver and therefore the Canon support staff should know this and tell you (although their Mac knowledge in Australia is pitiful and most likely the same in your region).
If you had a model with Ethernet, then you could connect it to the wireless router and print via IP > LPD. But I know that your MF4150 only has USB as I mate of mine had one and he had exactly the same issue on Tiger, which I documented on the Tiger forum and the Airport printing forum.
So, don't waste your money on a print server. Get rid of the Canon and get something that will work for all your OS's. If I can suggest, the safest purchase would be to get a model that supports Postscript. While this does cost more, it will help to avoid any limitations that can occur when using a vendors proprietary printer language, like Canon's UFR2.

How can you get Belkin Media Card Reader to work with Fifth Gen iPod?

I got a new 80Gb iPod and then discovered my Belkin Card Reader I've used extensively with my 4th Gen iPod, no longer works with the new one. I easily transferred photo albums on my PC to the new iPod but the Belkin Reader is "not recognized" by the new one.
This is a MAJOR disappointment to me as we travel a lot and I've used my iPod all over the world for photo storage. I had about 15Gb of photos on my older 40 Gb iPod before I transferred them off and got the new one.
Is there any other portable card reader that will work with the 5th Gen iPod's?

Nikon D40 and/or Sandisk Mobilemate SD+ work with camera connector?

Wondering if anyone has successfully dumped images from their D40, or via the afore mentioned SD card reader, to their iPod using the camera connector. The D40 is not on the list, and no mention of card reader either, but I've read other places that some devices work even though not listed.

Im using the connector with my D40 - but there are some odd quirks that keep poping up. The photos are fine on the ipod when you use it as a HD - but sometimes the photos dont show up under "photo-import"... not sure why. I restored and it worked... occationally you have to hard-boot reset your ipod and then it is ok. download frequently to avoid long 200-photo transfers (try 100 or less). Each D/L will create another roll to browse (even if its the same photos you just D/L'd)

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.)

Does iPod Nano work with Camera Connector?

Is the iPod Nano able to work with the Camera Connector? How about the Belkin Camera Connector or Belkin Media Reader?

6GB nano we might see in a year, a 20 GB nano is presently only a fantasy and while eventually possible, we won't be seeing it anytime soon. To my understanding the belkin media reader uses firewire to communicate among other things so no it wont work with the Nano. And of course the Nano is windows preformatted windows compatible.

SanDisk Card Reader stopped working with OS X 10.4.7

I have an older SanDisk single smart card reader, model SDDR-55. It worked fine with 10.2, but I cannot seem to get it to work with 10.4.7.
When I reinstall the SanDisk driver (the most recent download available from them) and restart, I get an error when connecting the reader to my USB hub.
The error says, "The system extension '/System/Library/Extensions/OnUSBMassStorageClass.kext was installed improperly and cannot be used.'"
I have tried reinstalling, deleting the /System/Library/Caches files, restarting, calling SanDisk to make sure the latest driver works with 10.4.7. "It should", they tell me. So I am out of ideas. If anyone knows how to fix this please help me out. Thanks in advance!
G4 Yikes! Tower Mac OS X (10.4.7) 400 MHz / 100GB HD

I know what you mean. My Zio smart media reader will not work either. if I install the driver and immediately use the card reader, it will work.
Once I repair permissions, the reader will not work until I reinstall the driver again. Very frustrating.

Is there a screen reader that works with Firefox 17.0??

FireVox does NOT work; even though it's listed as 'compatible' on your list of available screen readers. FireVox has not worked since 2008.
I'm looking for something like that. Something that just reads the text on the page. I used to use ML-FireVox. But, they had a server crash in the summer and are no longer available.
Now, with the new upgrade, I can't find anything that works without copying to the clipboard. That does not work when you're trying to read hundreds of items through Google Reader.
Thanks.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox to see if that makes your screen reader work.

I'm looking for a compact flash card reader that will work with the ipad 4 with the lightning port. please help?!

I purchased the ipad 4/retina diplay 64 GB model today and i need a compact flash card reader that works with it.
has anyone had any luck with this??
thank you.

I found this with a simple Google Search:
http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/ipad-cf-sd-reader/
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Camera-Card-Reader-Connection-iPad/dp/B005NN8V3M
But Diovonex is correct, use the standard Camera Connection kit and transfer them from the camera directly as described in this other thread.

USB-3 card reader that is compatible with MacBook Pro (Retina) and Mountain Lion

Can anybody recommend a USB-3 based CompactFlash memory card reader that works with the MacBook Pro (Retina) and Mountain Lion (or, at least, Lion)?
Thanks in advance...

Thanks for your reply, Clinton. But I already have two readers that are USB-2 compatible. Now I need the one like I described above. I am using only the fastest CF cards available.
I have read some user reports (on Amazon) on two readers relevant to my needs - SanDisk and Lexar - but I'm still not sure whether they are fully compatible with the Retina MacBook and Mountain Lion. As a matter of fact, I doubt it...
