Compact Flash conversion Lifedrive

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and apologise if this is the incorrect format.
I love my Palm but I have a problem
I have an issue on converting my Lifedrive to Compact Flash.card to prolong its life.
I have followed the how to on Wiki I used an Apple Mac, purchased Copycatx and a 4 gb SanDisk Extreme III which is on the compatibility list of known cards that work...
I used Copycatx to duplicate the Lifedrives Micro drive as per instruction,
this I saved to my desktop.
I then put the CF card in the card reader but it won’t transfer the image as the volume of the CF card at 3.74 GB is too small for the image at 3.81 GB.
What am I doing wrong?
I have duplicated the Lifedrives micro drive several times and the image volume is always the same at 3.81 GB.
I tried the card straight out the box and later formatted it on FAT32
No Joy!
Could someone point me in the right direction please?
Regards to All
Ted

The SanDisk Extreme III is too small to place the image on. The way memory works is even though you have a 4GB card it is actually a little smaller due to how the data is stored. Outside of that unfortunately we do not support modifying the devices on this forum. I would suggest that you look at the Wiki that you got this information from and see if they have a forum of there own and see if they can help you.

Formatting compact flash and installing palm software

I am attempting to replace a failed hard drive in my Palm Lifedrive. I have purchased a 4GB SanDisk Ultra II Compact Flash. How do I format this drive and get the palm software on it?
Post relates to: LifeDrive

You have to remove the old hard drive from your LifeDrive, solder in a Compact Flash Socket, then load all the system files and software onto the card.
I don't know what skills you possess, but it's not an easy task. I don' have a clue as to actually performing the surgery and what wire goes where!

Problem with Plugging in Compact Flash Card

I am having a problem now when I plug my compact flash card in to download pictures. When I plug the card in, the AutoPlay window pops up, as it always does. However, I also get another window that pops up and says "Lightroom must quit because catalog named Lightroom Catalog.lrcat is not writeable and cannot be opened. This could be caused by incorrect permissions or because another Lightroom application is using the catalog. You may select a different catalog the next time you run Lightroom by holding down the control key while Lightroom launches."
This problem started yesterday. I had just upgraded to LR 3.5 the day before the problem started.
Couple of other things:
1. Lightroom was not launched at the time I plug in the card and this problem has occurred. In fact, I just restarted my system a shortwhile ago to test this problem, and it happened again.
2. My Lightroom catalog is actually called Lightroom 3 Catalog.lrcat, not Lightroom Catalog.lrcat.
3. I have never had my system set up to automatically launch Lightroom when my card is plugged in.
4. I have not actually downloaded any pictures from a card for about 2 weeks before I did yesterday, so I cannot say for certain whether or not LR 3.5 is the cause of the problem and perhaps something else is. But the fact is that I did upgrade to LR 3.5 a few days ago.
5. Once I close both the AutoPlay window and the LR dialogue window, I can launch LR 3.5 with no problem and import pictures as I normally do.

Your description of what you've done and the code you show does not match what the tutorial says to do and what code to use... (there is no stopAndGoTo() function in Flash).
Right-click the second frame on the upper layer labeled Actions and select Actions. Copy and paste the code below to make our preloader functional.
if (_root.getBytesTotal() != _root.getBytesLoaded()){
gotoAndPlay(1);
bar_mc._xscale=(_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100;
loader_txt.text=Math.round((_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100)+"%";

IMac error message with 32Gb compact flash card from Nikon D4

Hi
I have a iMac 2.8Gig core 2 duo running 10.7.4 - I get a error message (the disk inserted is not readable by this computer) when using 32gb compact flash cards from my Nikon D4, have tried bith Sandisk and Lexar cards same error message. However both cards work fine on my MacBook Pro and a Windows machine. If I format the 32Gig card in my Nikon D300 it is recognised on the iMac. So it appears to be the way the Nikon D4 formats the card that the iMac dosen't like, however as I said it's fine in the MacBook Pro.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

On both Fomats, use Disk Utility on both the Volume & Partition & the blue Info icon to see what the differences are.

Auto-update of 2120 startup application using compact flash

Just getting started with a 2120, but have one "tricky" question. I want to have my executable run off the controller's memory, not the compact flash; however I also want the executable to check for software updates on a compact flash card. In other words, if there is a compact flash card present when the app (controller) starts, and the executable on it appears correct (size, name check), then copy the file to that controller's startup folder to replace the existing app... The executable would bypass normal operation at that point, provide LED feedback to alert the user to reset the controller (& remove card), and "voilà"! We have an almost automatic compact-flash updatable, self-starting application...
Question(s):
- do I need to worry about whether I'm building the app to the controller's memory, to compact flash, or locally (to later copy onto compact flash)?
- are there any issues with having a program copy an update over itself in this way (different types of memory, when used, etc...)? Alternative would be to have a 2-stage app: 1 checks for update, launches the 2nd if no update (single app would be cleaner)
- am I missing anything else?
Thanks,
Phil

Hi!
If I understand correctly... You can do following steps:
   - you develop your application for cFP2120, and download it to cFP's C: disk, then you can copy it to a compact flash. I am referring to a "developing" cFP2120.
   - in field, you have another cFP2120, running an application that you created before, and you insert compact flash with new exe. You reboot controller.
   - the resident application checks for updates, and find it on CF card. This boot application copies executable from CF to C: disk, (maybe better if you use .par extentions until opy does not finish!).
   - You manually (or programmatically) reboot controller with new application.
   This was my idea, but, because of customer doesn't asked me to proceed in implementing it, so I stopped, but I'm always interested in knowing if this can work.
   Some problems with this may be the coerence of libraries..... Please, if you find this way succesful, let me know....
   Another possible solution is to use the "open VI reference" method, but I am not used with it.....
   Hope I wasn't too confusing

Copying file from a Compact Flash Card or Epson Picture Viewer issues

I am a photographer and have been experiencing issues when trying to copy or move files from my compact flash cards or my viewer HD device. Both my Sandisk reader and the epson connect to my iMac through USB (rear ports) and during the copy process, I get messages that one of the files are in use, and the rest of the copy is aborted. Since the copy process doesn't work in a numerical or filename fashion, I have to look through each file that has been copied and try to identify which files were missed. The weird thing is that if I try to copy the file that was mentioned in use, it works fine
I am copying to a USB External drive, connected to my Airport Extreme. I've encountered the same things when the HD was connected directly to the iMac.
I am getting very frustrated with this process, and am looking for insight on how to make this go away, or at the very least, is there an application that will copy/move and verify the files before exiting? I can't help but think that I may have missed files here and there, and those files could be now lost memories.
Any help would be appreciated

They'll record either while simutaniously recording to tape. I believe the HDV is in a .M2t format but I'm not sure about the DV file format. As for quality, your guess is as good as mine, I haven't had the chance to play with one yet.

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.

My Macbook Pro won't read my Compact Flash card

Here’s the problem.
Mavericks won’t acknowledge the existence of my Compact Flash card when presented in a card reader (I have tried two readers). It is a card I have been using with Lion on my Macbook Pro for some time quite happily.
There is nothing wrong with the card; it works just fine in our Windows machine and in my camera.
My Compact Flash card is a Kingston 4Gb card. It was formatted in the camera.
The camera was bought approx 2003. Its a digital Pentax Optio 33GS (top of the range at the time shooting 3.2 megapixels!).
On my Macbook Pro 15” (bought new approx 2010) the card does not appear in Finder but does appear in Disk Utility.
The information for the main entry on the LHS in Disk Utility is displayed as follows:
Disk Description: 4Gb Generic Storage Device Media
Write status: Read/write
The sub entry which appears as disk1s1 on the LHS is:
Mount point: Not mounted
Format MS-DOS (FAT16)
I attempted to erase the Card using Disk Utility; I selected the main entry on the LHS and I chose the format MS-DOS (FAT). This returned a Disk Erase Failed msg “Wiping volume data to prevent future accidental probing failed.”
I then tried again, this time selecting Windows NT File system (Tuxera NTFS) as I have Tuxera installed. This did not work either; it failed with the same error msg.
OK so then I tried Mac OS Extended (Journaled) but this failed as above also.
I am not quite sure why, but when I reinserted my card into my camera, my camera could not read the card so I had to reformat the card within the camera.
Oh yes, I also tried rebooting my Macbook with the card inserted but this made no difference.
I have run our of ideas. All help gratefully received.
Thank you. Carol
PS ... apologies to anyone who saw my previous post in which I referred to my card as an SD card when in fact it is a Compact Flash card

Okay, I am making progress here now.
Using the link in my message above timestamped Dec 13, 2013 4:24 AM, I filed a tech support request describing the problem. Because they asked for details to confirm that the problem was with their product, I copied and pasted pretty much verbatim the text from my message above.
Around noon, same day, I got a message back from technical support saying they were sorry for the problem and would provide me with a replacement unit. Two hours later, I got a message from their RMA department saying that because the product has a two year warranty, they needed a copy of my receipt. I located a copy of my receipt for the purchase from Amazon on September 10, 2012 and forwarded that to them.
At this point, I am optimistic that it's going to work out okay. So far, I am very impressed with the responsiveness of Kingston's technical support and customer service departments.
If I actually do receive a working replacement, I will post an update here.

Any card reader to transfer Compact Flash Raw photos to Ipod 5G

Hi I have a Canon 10D digital camera and have a 2Gig Compact Flash Card, I would like to know if there's any compact flash card reader for Ipod video (5th Gen Ipods) so I can use it as a Hard Drive and transfer my RAW photos to the Ipod.
Any suggestion o this or tips on this kind of card reader for Ipod.

Hi vchavez,
I've got a Nikon D70, use it with camera connector and the Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 15-in-1 Media Card Reader/Writer (model no. F5U249ea) google it!
Works fine, there was a website with a list of compatible card readers, but it seem to have took the article away, the belkin above was the one on the list, thats why i got it!
Happy Shooting.

Images can be viewed when inserting compact flash card but many just black when imported. What's up?

When I insert the compact flash card containing 158 images (Raw+jpeg Fine) into the Mac I can view all images, however after I import them only about half of them can be viewed. The remaining images are blacked out even though the info for each image is available. The card was reformatted prior to use. What do you think the problem might be?

Upload off the flash card to a folder on your Desktop (can be done with Image Capture) and see if they can be viewed with Preview. If the can launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import the photos and test to see if the same problem persists.
Also make sure that the RAW files from your camera are supported by the operating system and iPhoto.

MSI 6667BB-003US Sees 16GB Compact Flash Card as 34MB

I just got a MSI 6667BB-003US nettop from Newegg and am trying to use the onboard compact flash slot. I got a 16GB Kingston compact flash card to use with this computer but the computer only sees it as 34MB. The BIOS doesn't give me any options to change settings for it. How do I get this thing to recognize the full 16GB of space on this card? I've used a card reader on my other computer to check the card and it shows up correctly.
Thanks.

Who knows why, just 'one of those things' I suppose...
But thanks for posting back with the outcome!

Powerbook 1400 PC Card Compact Flash

I'm hoping to get a Compact Flash PC Card adapter and 1.0 GB CF card for my 1400.
Here are my questions:
1. Is there any types of restrictions on the PC Card (e.g. 16bit)? Where is the best place to find a cheap PC Card?
2. Can the system be bootable from the CF card?
Justin

Justin,
Is there any types of restrictions on the PC Card (e.g. 16bit)?
Yes, it will have to be a 16-bit model, but that is not a problem with a normal PC Card adapter (e.g. from SanDisk). The adapter can be used directly in your PowerBook 1400, without any driver software.
Can the system be bootable from the CF card?
Yes, provided that the CF card has been reformatted to Mac (this can be done via Drive Setup 1.7.3, or by inserting the adapter/card after the PowerBook has been started with Extensions Off). The card will have to contain a valid system folder. It is possible to bypass the internal hard disk by pressing Command (Apple) + Option (Alt) + Shift + Delete (Backspace) immediately after the startup sound.

Compact flash- iPod transfer?

Is there a device that will let me transfer photos from my camera's memory card (Canon 350, compact flash) to my iPod "in the field"? Purpose built hard disks for this have a slot to insert the memory card. Is there some sort of adapter so I can use my pod for this?

Belkin Digital Camera Link for iPod may work depending on your iPod model.

Compact flash on cat-6504-E

Hi guys,
I inserted my original compact Flash MEM-C6K-CPTFL256M on disk0 on SUP32-ge-3b. The goal is to backup the IOS on my flash.
I insert the flash:01:00:18: %FILESYS-SP-5-DEV: PCMCIA flash card inserted into disk0
but when i try to format or copy the output is:Router#format disk0:
Format operation may take a while. Continue? [confirm]
Format operation will destroy all data in "disk0:". Continue? [confirm]
%Error formatting disk0 (No such device)
Router#
and
Router#copy sup-bootdisk:s3223-ipbase_wan-mz.122-18.SXF11.bin disk0:
Destination filename [s3223-ipbase_wan-mz.122-18.SXF11.bin]?
%Error opening disk0:s3223-ipbase_wan-mz.122-18.SXF11.bin (No such device)
Which is the problem?
Thanks in advance for the support.

Hi,
I have two SUP but I'm trying with only one inserted so the active I'm sure it's the active.
It may be a problem with the size or the type of the flash card? (MEM-C6K-CPTFL256M)

Compact Flash to Expresscard problem

I just got a brand new 17" Macbook Pro. Along with it I've purchashed a CF to Expresscard reader to get the images from my Nikon D700 into Aperture. But it's simply not working.
When I plug the card into the reader and the reader into the Expresscard slot, I get a small icon up near the clock (it's a small square icon) with the option to "Power off card" when I click on it. It also says "IDE Controller". I can't get the Compact Flash card to show up on my desktop, in Aperture, or in Image Capture.
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated! I've never used an Expresscard slot before, so I don't know if there's anything that I need to be doing differently. I can't imagine having to install drivers for the CF to Expresscard reader, but I guess anything is possible.
Thanks a lot in advance for any assistance.

It is this card:
http://www.amazon.com/CompactFlash-Adapter-Express-ExpressCard-Support/dp/B003XQ S7RQ/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1313253634&sr=8-16
It is not showing in Finder, Aperture or in Image Capture.
I believe I have the latest firmware as the Macbook Pro just arrived from Apple 2 days ago - how do I know for sure?
Thanks.
