Computer won't read my SD cards

I am trying to upload pictures and videos from my SD Card and also from a PRO Duo SD Card, and my computer doesn't seem to be reading them.  I have done this before without any issues.  Please help, these are wedding photos and the bride and groom are counting on me.

Some of the new SD cards are not playing well with older hardware.  since no mention of model number for the computer, I would suggest getting a new card reader (USB driven) that can read the newer SD card format.  The easiest method,  you could connect the camera with the supplied USB cable, that way the camera becomes the card reader.

  • Won't read my memory card

    Hello! My macbook pro won't read my memory card (transcend) anymore. It used to work fine but I don't know why just recently it won't. I've tried the little lock and unlock option on the card but still nothing.
    Help?

  • Computer won't recognize Airport Extreme Card

    Okay, I need a little help. I bought an Airport Extreme card for my eMac today, which is what my manual told me I'd need to connect to a wireless Internet connection.
    I followed the instructions to install it exactly, but the computer won't recognize that it's there. It still says "no information available" when I go look at the Airport card settings.
    I'm not sure if it's a fault of mine, the card's, or the computer's. When I insert the card, should it snap into place? Should it slide out easily? How can I tell if it's in properly?
    If anybody can help out, it'd make my year. I am dying to get this high-speed Internet set up. Thanks.

    surfingbaku, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Use the information in KB 86325, eMac: How to locate the serial number and identify your model to identify which type of eMac you have.
    If you have one of these eMacs
    eMac (ATI Graphics)
    eMac (USB 2.0)
    eMac (2005)
    you require the AirPort Extreme card.
    Any other eMac requires the original AirPort card.
    If you are using the correct card and it is not being recognized, one or more of the following must be correct.
    The card isn't installed correctly.
    The card is defective.
    The eMac's motherboard is defective and not recognizing the card.

  • MBP won't read my SD card?

    So here's the issue:
    My MacBook Pro won't read my 4GB SD card from my camera. I was able to transfer all of my images earlier this afternoon but now it plainly won't show up. I checked Finder, I checked Disk Utility, and nothing. The Nikon software doesn't recognize it either. It's not like I have a whole boatload of photos to transfer (I only have four pics to transfer). Earlier, I installed the software after I ejected the card, but did not put it back in afterwards. Could it have something to do w/ the software I just downloaded?

    If you are using a DSLR camera, like for example a Canon 60D, there may be an option to use a "Low-Level Formatting" on the card. This should make it writable when putting it into the computer.
    To test this (and confirm it works) I did the following:
    Hardware Used:
    Canon 60D camera body
    Sandisk 32GB SDHC Extreme Card
    Macbook Pro 15" (mid 2010 model) with built-in SD card slot.
    Steps:
    Place SDHC card into camera (SD card may work as well). Navigate through menu until you arrive at settings that allow the camera to format the card. There may be an option to format it "low-level", which you would then select.
    -Note that all files on card will be erased permanently.-
    After the camera formats, eject the card from the camera, and place inside the built-in SD slot on the Macbook.
    The card should automatically mount, containing both read and write priviledges.
    Hope that helps.

  • IPod 80GB: My computer won't read the iPod is connected!

    I plug the iPod in and it lights up, but it doesn't say it's plugged in. If I have it plugging in when I restart the computer it says it's connected but my computer won't start. It's just a black screen with a flashing white underscore.

    Welcome to the forum!
    Remove the hard disk drive, and try booting without it, to see whether you'll get the LCD to light up.
    What is the 7-character model number of your T43? It should be something like 26xx-xxx or 187x-xxx, it's located on a sticker at the bottom side of the machine, along with serial number and production date...
    Good luck and let us know.

  • Won't read the SD Card after going in for repairs

    HELP - my 8520 curve won't read it's SD card? i know it's definately not the card as my wife just got a new BB also and it came with a brand new card that can't be read either. Thought i could live with it............ but can't. You can't have any music, video content etc............  My first blackberry died in a pint of guiness (don't ask), i took the sd card out before the insurance claim and had my fingers crossed that it would have survived the black death, but when my new replacement BB came it couldn't read the card.......... which i thought was down to the black stuff - initially.
    However since then i've tried different cards leaving me to believe i may still have the data on the original and that the phone or card reader is cream-crackered? any clues?........ thanks in advance.

    I've read on some forums this could be a card formatting issue, anyone got any thoughts on that?

  • Help! My computer won't read iPod anymore...

    but my brother's computer will read my shuffle. It will read it in iTunes, and windows itself recognizes it. I don't understand why my computer won't recognize it (when it used to) anymore. The only thing I can think of is that I had to restore my computer to factory settings last week, but since then I've reinstalled/updates iPod/iTunes software. I know it's not my USB port because it's reading my digital camera and jump-drive. Can anyone help me with this? It's 6 months old, so Apple won't give me support.

    Thanks for responding. I did restore my computer. I can't open the link you posted. Claims that http://info.docs.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61711 can't be found.

  • MacBook Pro won't read the sdxc card from Panasonic GH2

    I've got a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8. Just took my first pictures/video with the GH2 using a Lexar 64GB SDXC card. When plugging in the USB cable that came witht the camera I got - "The disk you inserted was not recognized by this computer". Does anyone out there have the GH2 that has experienced this problem? Solution? I've written to Lexar but so far they've been no help. I know the file system for this card is FAT32 which is a PC format.  I know this card will work with the Mac...but how is it accomplished?

    Your easiest & cheapest way to transfer the camera pictures is to buy (about $10 - $20) a USB memory card reader. Just plug your camera's memory card into it & copy the pic files to your Mac. Quicker & easier than interfacing the camera for pic transfer.

  • My macbook won't read my sd card.

    My sd card has worked in my computer before, but today it decided not to work. I've tried reformating it on my camera, inserting the sd card into the slot faster than usual, but my computer acts like nothing is going on. Help?
    ~Stephanie

    Remove sd card and insert and remove it multiple times from the card slot.... also try cleaning the contacts.... See what happens it worked for me... Hope this helps...

  • HT1349 What if you can't turn on your phone and computer won't read it. How do you get support

    How can I get support if my iphone won't come on or connect to computer. It went off while talking on it. It has a charge and has been running good.

    Hold down the home and power buttons at the same time. It may take 20 seconds or so. This should force it to reboot. If it doesn't, make an appointment at the genius bar.

  • Computer won't read iTunes

    Concern with recently downloading iTunes after removing the file from my computer. I removed it, hoping that in downloading the software, it would be able to finally connect to my phone. Now that the software is downloaded, it says "The file iTunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes". I am downloading the 6.0 and I have Windows XP.
    I would greatly appreciate any insight.
    Thanks

    Hi Meg.
    Yeah, that would do it too if the downgrade went past a point between versions at which the library files that were used by an iTunes version had changed. (The transitions with that which spring to mind are 4.9 to 4.8 or lower, 5.0.x to 4.9 or lower and 7.0.x to 6.0.5.20 or lower ... there's a bunch of other similar transitions when downgrading "within" 7.x, but my memory is a bit hairy for which version changes involved library file updates in the version 7.x's which came out in 2007.)
    Still possible to get this one after an attempt at an upgrade, though. Last case that I can be sure of that I was involved in was in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7229131&#7229131
    You're probably right about the source of the error message in this case. I think I was thinking (?) something along the lines of an install of a higher version of iTunes than 6.0.x being required if Diane wanted her iPhone to be recognised by an iTunes version, and that some additional precautions taken when doing the reinstall of the higher version might help with getting the newer software to install properly.
    (Sorry, probably all a bit long-winded/off-target with this reply, too.)

  • Computer won't read Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 disc!

    Does your optical drive have a DVD symbol on the front of it?  It is possible that you might not have a DVD drive but only a CD drive.
