Expresscard/34 Compact Flash card reader?

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a Expresscard/34 Compact Flash card reader?
Thanks
Mark

Yes, all pro digital photographers use CF cards and most use FireWire card readers. The rest use USB2 card readers.
Many of us keep a $7 PCMCIA card adapter for emergency backup but rarely use it because it is sooooooo sloooooow. It also takes over your computer not allowing you to do much else during the downloading of photo/files.
Do that a few times and you see the need for upgrading to a new standard.
It would be nice to be able to just pop a card into the side of the laptop without plugging in a reader.
On the other hand - Sprint and Verizon do need to make an Express/Card 34 for internet access. I may be getting a MacBook Pro next month and not being able to connect to the internet from anywhere is my biggest fear, more so than the PhotoShop problem.

Which compact flash card reader (still available) works with core i7?

Help! My card reader died. I'm having trouble finding a compact flash card reader for my iMac Core i7. I'm shooting with a Canon 7D. Any suggestions?

Maybe a bit pricey http://store.apple.com/us/product/H6333VC/A?fnode=MTY1NDA2NA&mco=MjQwODk2ODQ
In essence, all USB 2.0 Card Reader should work (SanDisk for example) as well.

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.

Good compact flash card reader for PC slot? card types I and II

Thanks for your time.

Interesting.
I have a Sandisk SD(etc) card reader for my Powerbook's PC slot, and it eats CPU pretty effectively as well when importing into iPhoto - but so does reading from a USB 2 card reader. The PC card reader is slower than my USB reader, but the PC reader is way more convenient!
I've noticed that OS X seems to have more difficulty with PC cards than external readers. For example, last night my PC card quit - or so I thought. When I inserted my camera's card into the reader, it wouldn't read. I saw the PC Card item pop into the menubar of the finder, so I knew the card was functional. I plugged my card + camera in with it's USB cable, and it worked (transferred to iPhoto) just fine. I formatted the card, but while iPhoto recognized it via USB (via camera and external reader), it wouldn't via PC card. I rebooted a while later, and it began to work again - go figure. I've never had this sort of issue with USB gadgets, so It's a little odd.
BTW: I usually use a Kingston 1 GB SD, or one of a few 512 MB SDs from various brands.

ExpressCard 34 Compact Flash adapter

Does my PowerBook G4 support eFilm's ExpressCard 34 Compact Flash card adapter? I'm guessing NO. Is there an adapter I can use to make it work?
Thanks -Roger

Hi, Roger. Any Circuit City, CompUSA or similar store will have PCMCIA (CardBus) adapters for many different flash-memory card formats including CF, mostly for $25 or less. The CardBus form factor is what you need for your Powerbook. The ExpressCard/34 form factor is used only in the new MacBook Pro, and would be of no use to you. If you already have one, exchange it.

Zio compact flash card readers

anybody know where to get updated drivers to enable a ZiO! (Microtech) compact flash card reader that can faciliate importing photos to the MacBook Pro?

Zio was acquired by smartdisk (www.smartdisk.com). They have drivers fro the Zio line of card readers, but do not state that they are intel mac compatible. YMMV.

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

I have this question too (0

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.

Reading Compact Flash cards

My new Macbook Pro arrives tomorrow and I'm wondering what will be the fastest way to upload images from my Compact Flash cards. I presently have a PowerBook G4, for which I was able to find a very fast CF card reader that slid directly into the PCMCIA slot (I believe that's what that slot is called). Since the Macbook Pro doesn't have the same slot, what is my best (fastest) option for uploading images from my CF cards?

probably an external USB card reader

How can I get my new ipad 4 to read my compact flash cards? If not can I download the images directly from my camera?

how can I get my new ipad 4 to read my compact flash cards? If not, can I download the images directly from my camera?

Tom, thanks for your quick reply. I'm a commerical photographer using Canon 5D mk2's mostly and have in the past just downloaded images to a mac book for backup. I really liked the compact size of the Ipad and just got the retina model with the camera connection kit and seem to be hearing that CF readers can't be used with it b/c they draw too much power. Seems like I remember reading I could use a cord that might have come with my cameras to download directly to the Ipad. I haven't tried it yet as I can't find the connection but then you just said it can't be done?
   I'm COMPLETLY lost as to your "first pluging in a flash drive to my computer, advice. Do you mean Ipad when you say computer? "then put your movie/photo files into the folder." HOW????????
     Then plug it into the Ipad??????     TOTALLY lost.
Also your saying just "do a google search for a reader doesn't work b/c NONE are able to work with the newer Ipads b/c they use TOO much power or so everyone says everyone that have tried.
   Hope you can help a little more b/c I'm really getting frustrated with all the conflicting advice!
Thanks, Dennis [email protected]

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.

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.

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!
