Compact Flash reader not working in new iMac

Greetings all-
I'm trying to help my dad long-distance with his new Intel iMac 20". He is upgrading from a G3 iMac, and his compact flash card reader no longer mounts the card on the desktop. On his old computer he was mounting the card and manually moving photos to his local drive.
The card itself is an 8MB Lexar compact flash. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Bill

That's a good question- I will ask him. Would the CF card be considered a hard drive? I know that his boot drive is visible on the desktop. I think that all items (hard drives, discs, iPods, servers) are checked by default in the Finder General preferences in Tiger, but I could be wrong.
There's a first time for everything!
Bill

Zio! USB Compact Flash Reader not recognized

I have a Zio! USB compact flash reader that works perfectly on my Cube and my wife's iMac (17" gooseneck), both running 10.4.9. However, my new MacBook 2.16 doesn't recognize it at all. The indicator light on the Zio! does light up, so I know it is at least getting power. Oh, and for the record, the MacBook is running on AC so I know it's not a batter power question.
The MacBook does recognize a Kodak camera hooked via USB and also recognizes a Logitech USB trackball that I have.
Zio! was acquired by Sandisc in 2005 and their website is no help. Also, the Zio! didn't come with a driver, it was always recognized immediately by iPhoto (which by the way, I'm running 6.0.6 and our other Macs are using an older version. Could it be that the newer iPhoto doesn't recognize this reader anymore?

I am not sure if I should start a new thread, but this is related...
I have an ULTRA 4G FlyDrive (which I LOVE and highly recommend, if anyone is looking/I DON'T recommend SanDisk Cruzers for Mac). Up until yesterday, it has worked with my MacBook without incident from Day 1 (didn't even need to be reformatted!) Suddenly it is not being recognized.
It does not seem to need a driver, and like your company's website, the ULTRA website is no help.
One suggestion someone offered was that the USB needed to be powered (or something like that). I still don't know what that means.
Any other ideas?

Logitech Pro 4000 not working with new Imac 24"

Just migrated from a G4 to the new Imac 24"
Cannot get the Logitech Pro 4000 to work with new mac.
Contacted Logitech and they said
"please note that the QuickCam Pro 4000 currently only supports up to Mac OS X 10.2.6"
However,the cam DID work ,even under 10.4.8 with the old G4...
Any ideas people..
Thanks!

Your nwe iMac is Intel based, which is why the old driver failed/ You could try the driver from IOXperts. They do not mention Intel support, but they do list your camera, and have a free trial.

Isub not working with new imac

the help menu is telling me to make sure that the isub is plugged in, and then to make certain it is selected under sound preferences... the only problem is that the imac is not picking up that the usb is even plugged in- there is no isub option that comes up on the sound preferences.
the isub works fine on my older mac, but just is not being read on the new one. any guesses other than my old isub is obsolete with my new imac?
thanks

The iSub is sweet! It's the best sub I've ever had! There's no reason for it to NOT work with the new Macs. It's a bummer. I still have my iSub, maybe they'll start supporting it again someday.

Lightroom not working with new iMac

I just got a new iMac and I imported everything from my old computer using time machine but now lightroom does not work at all. Does anybody know what has gone wrong? All that comes up when I open the program is a grey screen and it does not respond with anything I click, including selecting a catalog.

You need to actually install LR, not let Time Machine transfer it.
If you purchased the regular (non-CC) version of LR, then download the LR 5.3 update from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html
If you have a PS+LR subscription, then click on the Lr icon after logging in at http://creative.adobe.com/products/ If CC thinks you have LR already installed, then you may need to install the www.adobe.com version, uninstall it, log out of CC, reboot, log back into CC, and then try downloading Lr from CC, again.

HT1175 3TB time capsule not working with new iMac

I have a 3TB time capsule that's c. 2 years old. It worked perfectly with my old iMac. I bought a new 27" one when it came out this year and since the time capsule will not work.
I had to clear all the data as a starter. Now it gets a little into the backup taking c. 1 day then resets. It's connected via ethernet cable and has been told to join an existing network.
Currently it says it's backing up 922,498 items, after 2 hours (this is the third attempt, it resets then has no record of the old backup) it says 10kb of 789.44 GB - About 4,664,440 days remaining!!
To clarify I'm trying to use Time Machine with the Time Capsule.
Please help!!

You have made a mistake in the setup.
You do not "Join an existing networking" and use ethernet.. they are mutually exclusive.
What you are doing is backing up over double hop wireless which is slowing to a crawl.
You need to put the TC into bridge mode.. and plug it into the main router by ethernet. Then use wiretess to the TC if you are too far away or ethernet if you are close by..
As soon as you put the TC into join a wireless network it deactivates the ethernet.

Microsoft WORD & Excel not working on new iMac

I had the MS suite of WORD, Excel and PowerPoint installed on my new iMac OS 10.8.3 by a legitimate programmer w/a totally legal license. Neither WORD nor Excel will load up. I get a variety of error messages (i.e. invalid file name, cannot open global template). Power Point works fine.!!!!
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing with no luck.
Any thoughts?

Unless you used this method to uninstall you may not have correctly uninstalled Office. Do it again using the manufacturers method, Then reinstall.

Rosetta not working on new iMac?

I have a brand-new 20" 2.4gHz iMac (aluminum). I used Migration Assistant to get my documents and settings over but I'm doing clean installs of programs and doing Universal binaries whenever possible. So now I'm at Quicken...and my Quicken 2005 would not boot up on the new iMac. OK, I thought, maybe I need to upgrade to Quicken 2007. I did that. Now the installer for that will not run either, nor will Quicken 2007 out of the disk image the installer's also on. I think these are the first two PowerPC apps I've tried to run on this so far.
I read that there's been some trouble with Rosetta apps after the install of Quicktime 7.2 so I followed the instructions in the support doc for that. But it will not let me run the Combo 10.4.10 Intel update on my machine either (says it cannot be run). The line to input into Terminal as described in that doc gives me an error.
I can't go without Quicken -- I need to have it running on my new machine. Any suggestions? :'( I'm dyin' here.

Well, yes, I know that Quicken is not a Universal binary (that is unfortunate). But by all accounts and articles the application should run under Rosetta, yes? (Even says so in that Macworld article.)
That's the actual problem I'm having -- The installer will not run. Nor will the program itself. I don't have any other PowerPC apps on the machine to try them out and check if others are working but I'd assume they're not.

Flash Player not working on new computer

I just purchased a new computer; HP Pavilion 23-g010 All-in-One. 64 bit Windows 8.1 When I try to play my games on facebook it says that I need to install Adobe Flash Player. When I follow the prompts the computer shows a pop up that says it's already installed. I check all your trouble shooting requests and none of them work as the computer pop up continues to say that it is not needed eg; updates. Active x is ok. What should I try next? Thanks for any input.

if you are running Internet Explorer 9, please see this post( it may pertain to your situation):

My Apple Help Centre menu is not working on new iMac

I have a new 2012 imac 27" and the Help Centre look up menu is not working in my main (admin) account. It is working in my second standard account that I have set up solely for testing the system when things are not working.
If I click on some of the items in the menu I get a message saying "The selected topic is currently unavailable. The topic you were trying to view could not be found." However, some of the help items do show up!
My internet is working fine so it is not because I don't have a connection. As it is working in the other account it seems that there must be some file path anomally with my main account.
Does anybody know of a fix before I give Apple a call?
thanks

You may be able to solve the problem by deleting the Help cache.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.helpd
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder selected. Move the selected folder to the Trash. Log out, log back in, and test. Help pages will be slow to load at first.
If that doesn't work, the problem may be caused by network conditions. It may go away by itself, though I can't say how long you should wait.
A persistent failure to load help data has been reported as an issue with certain ISP's, such as the Exede satellite network. Test on a different network, if possible. I've also seen at least one report that Photo Stream in iCloud can mysteriously interfere with Help. I'm not sure whether that's true, but try disabling Photo Stream, if applicable.*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Microphone Not Working on New Imac

I just bought a $2000 27 Inch Imac and a few weeks later the microphone quit working and Apple is ignoring the problem and will not stand behind this new imac, anyone else having the same problem. I talked to a repair guy who said you can expect problems from an Imac because all of its parts are cheap made in china, he has encountered a lot of issues with the new Imacs. I wouldnt recommend anyone to buy one at this time, stick with a PC because in my opinion if you buy an imac, your buying trouble.

What repair guy did you talk to? Because that doesn't sound like a response from a qualified Apple Service Technician. Plus if it was, then there are ways to deal with them as well as your Hardware.

Ranting and ragging here in these Forums will get you no where, except for either edited or maybe even banned.

Cd's not working in new imac.

I Have a new imac i5, I have been unable to play cds on it. DVDs do work. the cd's are CD-R and do work on windows 7 and some are form a imac, most of the cd's have Photo's on them. here is what i get when putting in a Cd......... There was a problem opening the media. The media type is not supported. when I Restart the imac i get a message that the disk is unreadable even when it has no disk in it. Please Help.

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.
If that deesn't do the trick, contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine. Might also apply to a new machine.

1st Generation iPod (5GB) not working with new iMac

Hi,
i have the Problem, that my 1st generation iPod is not detected by my new imac (20'' 2,4 Ghz). When i plug in the firewire cable, nothing happens. DiscUtility sees no disc at all.
But when i plug in the iPod "behind" another Firewire disc (acting as a fw-hub), the iPod ist detected within a second, and everything works fine.
I just wanted to know if someone else is having this Problem, or if someone else has a working iPod 1.Gen on the new iMac.
Thanks
Joerg

Hi JvdL,
I am one with a 1st gen iPod (Windows, 10GB).
But I have no problems with it and I also don't have a last gen. iMac.
However, in the iPod Forum http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=151 and in the iTunes Forum http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=149&start=0#threads there are quite some threads with similar problems.
Sorry

Wacom Intuos Tablet and Pen not working on new iMac with OSX 10.9.4

Hi there, I've been using an A3 Wacom Intuos tablet and pen for many years now on a 2006 iMac for my illustration work, but I cannot get them to appear or work on my new iMac with OSX 10.9.4. I think they are the original Wacom Intuos tablet and pen. Does anyone know if they are just out of date now and aren't supported on the new OSX 10.9.4? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I need to work and it's frustrating!
Many thanks,
Steve

I have done as you suggested; I uninstalled PSE 11 and set my wife's account up as admin and reinstalled from there. Still have the same problem with my wife's account, but when I went to mine it is working correctly. Any ideas on why that would be? I'm sure it should work on both accounts. I have 2 accounts on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and it works on both.
Thanks for your help; at least it's working on my account so that's a great improvement.
