External Card reader

I just bought an external card reader which can run only in Mac OS 9.2. My computer is a new Mac OS X 10.5.1. How can i install the driver for the card reader? I have to tell you that i can't restart my computer in Mac OS 9. There is no such possibility

When you attach hardware devices to the Mac, go to the upper left corner of the desktop and select "about this Mac." Then select more info... and on the left hand side of the window highlight USB and look what's recognized. Most of the time if ASP ie Apple System Profiler recognizes a piece of hardware its going to work.

IPhoto '11 problem downloading pix w/external card reader

Lately my external card reader won't download pix to iPhoto. The device shows up on the desktop but not within iPhoto so no pictures are downloaded. Bought a new reader (Hoodman), but problem remains. Tried restarts, which sometimes works but now mostly doesn't. This only started happening sporadically a few months ago. The old card reader works just fine on my husband's iMac, so I don't think it's the card reader's fault. Anyone else having these problems? Or have a fix? I've got a bunch of pictures to get into iPhoto and am stymied. I'm on an iMac, Snow Leopard (10.6.8), using iPhoto '11 (v9.2.3).

Thanks for the suggestion. But after creating that test library you suggested I still don't know how to get back to my original library when I launch iPhoto. Could you please guide me through that? I've never done this before and am nervous about the whereabouts of all those 1000s of pix I have (even tho I'm backed up w/Time Machine).
By the way, I just noticed a similar discussion about a year ago with the identical problem, numerous reports of the external card driver suddenly not being recognized by iPhoto. Sounds like an unsolved, ongoing problem. Guess I need to file a report with Apple.

EJECTING EXTERNAL CARD READER

I use a Canon Rebel XT (first generation). The compact flash for this camera is usually too big for newer computer's, so I have a Dynex External Card Reader that accomodates 5 different size compact flash disks, one of which accomodates the canon rebel xt's gigantic card. my problem is not being able to "eject" the disk, or the device properly. it appears as "NO NAME," when I attach its USB, determines "new pictures," gives me the option to "import all, or "new." but when i've finished importing the pictures, I cannot figure out how to properly "eject" the device. and so I've tried using Finder to locate and eject for the usb before pulling the compact disk out of the reader as not to possibly damage any pictures, but no matter what I do, I get a warning that reads, "to avoid damageing images on your disk, properly eject the device first." How do I do this?????? pleaseeeeee
thanks
francesca

It should show up as NoName in the source pane on the left in iPhoto - click the dismount icon to the right of the name
same should be true in the finder - click the dismount icon to the right of the name
and using the dismount key on your keyboard should do it if you have a standard Apple keyboard

USB Hub / External Card Reader recommendations?

Afternoon,
I have recently purchased a late 2012 27" iMac and would like to add some peripherals.
I am looking for a USB 3.0 hub and a multi card reader.
I have seen lots of posts about USB hubs (the joys of a google search) that either arent recognised as 3.0 or are on American sites. (Am based in the UK).
I know there is a card reader on the back of the iMac, but only for SD and I would prefer to not have to keep turning the monitor round to reach it. (I still have xD cards that I use).
Without being too picky, I dont want 'ugly' units. Dont want to make a beautiful machine look ugly when surrounded by lots of horrible looking external add-ons.
Does anyone have any recomendations of hubs / readers, or even ones to steer clear of?
Thanks very much.
Karen

Thanks for trying but ...
No, I can't see the drive when booted up with Cmd R.
I don't have a USB hub to test on.
I'm just tried resetting the PRAM as you suggested.
No change.
Any other ideas gratefully accepted, otherwise, I can book into the genius bar thingy - no idea if that will be of use. I work in IT so I'm fairly handy though there are many mac specific commands & tricks I'm not aware of.

Archlinux installed on SD card not booting w/o external card reader

Hello, this is my first time here, so hopefully I don't sound too much like an idiot.
I've been trying to install Archlinux to an 8GB SDHC cards (Tried on two different ones, Kingston and Polaroid). I'm doing this via an Archlinux live CD on my Desktop (HP m9040n with Windows 7) through it's built-in SD Card reader. The install goes nicely, and I can boot from the SD card alright on my desktop. However, when I put the card into my ASUS eeePC 900's SD card slot, it won't boot, showing:
Buffer I/O error, dev sda, sector 16015344
Root device '/dev/disk/by-uuid/[UUID]' doesn't exist. Attempting to create it.
ERROR: Unable to determine major/minor nubmer of root device '/dev/disk/by-uuid/[UUID]'
You are being dropped to a recovery shell
Type 'exit' to try and continue booting
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
sda is the SD card.
Now for the fun part, when I put the SD card into a USB all-in-one card reader, and hook that up to the eeePC, it boots fine. I followed the USB guide on the wiki site, and it boots alright on anything but the eeePC built-in card reader. Please help Let me know what other information you need. Thanks in advanced.
-Adam

ok... so im in the exact same boat.. trying to get Archlinux on an SD card with xbmc. had some trouble in the installer but figured it out after looking at this board and the various wikis. however i am having the exact same issue. i now have usb hook enabled and detecting and mounting the SD card. however it just hangs shortly after this and after about 5 minutes will just start to work and boot normally.
this is unacceptable for a media system, and not sure what the cause is... casual.formality, did you find a solution?
thanks.
just wanted to add that im using the latest netboot installer and using UUID, system is an acer aspire revo.

M92p SFF: Possible to add a 2.5" SSD boot drive in the 3.5" external card reader bay?

I recently bought a M92p Small Form Factor with model number 2988-A5U.
Is it possible to to add an additional 2.5" SSD as a boot drive while retaining the 3.5" 1TB SATA as the data drive?
I have searched many posts and datasheets on the internet but could't find an answer.
http://www.partnerinfo.lenovo.com/partners/us/products/downloads/thinkcentre-mseries/ThinkCentre-M92...
The above specs. states that it supports 2 HDDs but I can't find another 3.5" or 2.5" internal HDD bay.
My thought is to put a 2.5" SSD into the 3.5" card reader bay. Is it feasible?

I ordered a 2.5" General 2.5" SSD to 3.5" SATA Hard Disk Drive HDD caddy from Amazon that fit perfectly! General 2.5" SSD to 3.5" SATA HDD caddy It came with screws that fit the new SSD, and the caddy fit the blue plastic carrier that slides into the 3.5" bay. This caddy properly aligns the connectors off to the left side, supports up to 6GBs SATA, and is even hot swappable.

Can't open SD memory with external memory card reader.

I have a SD memory disk i use with my camera. I have connected to an external card reader and my macbook air has been able to open the disk in the past.
Not sure why, but now it gives me a popup error saying "Disk was not ejected properly.". I've tried rebooting the macbook, and disconnecting and reconnecting the USB memory reader. But it didn't fix the problem. The popup is constantly poping up and I can't view files in the card.
This same disk using the same card reader can be open using a Windows PC. I can see all the pictures on the memory card.
Please tell me how to get the macbook to recognize this SD memory disc again.

Hi,

Macbook Pro - SD Card Reader Issues Solved!

I recently purchased a gently used, early 2011 MBP. I've had it for a few months, but I did not try using the SD card reader until last week... so much for kicking the tires. Long story short, the darn thing did not recognize or mount one single SD card out of a handful of cards, and at least 3 different card manufacturers all used with my Canon DSLR. I searched the net trying to find a solution and tried everything from sticking the card in at a some strange and ridiculous slant to shutting the computer down three different ways and resetting the System Management Controller (SMC); nothing worked. So today I spent 25 minutes or so chatting with an apple care specialist and they (Jim the apple care guru) finally came up with a solution, even though I'm sure neither one of us knows exactly why it worked. So here goes...
Put your SD card in a external card reader, once it's mounted go to disk utilities and reformat (erase) the drive to Mac OS Extended. Take it out of your external reader and put it in the built-in reader on your Mac. Now, of course, it will no longer work in your camera or most other devices so you'll have to format it again in your device of choice. However, here's the kicker... once I did l all of that and took some quick pics, I put it back in my MBP and it popped right up even after a reboot. But wait there's more.... I then put the SD card in my wife's work laptop (PC running Win8) and played with the files for a bit, then stuck it back in the Mac and it still recognized it. So there goes the "windows screws up the formatting myth).
So naturally I assumed that I would be forced to go through this double formatting process for all of my SD cards (and I have a lot), but then it happened! A Christmas miracle in October. I tried a second card, and then a third and a fourth and a fifth, etc... AND now they ALL pop up just like they should. Without reformatting or any other humanly changed processes. Yep... There you have it, it makes no sense. But it works ;)
Somehow formatting just one card in the card reader "woke up" the whole process, almost like my MBP was like, hmmm I was wondering what you kept sticking inside that's slot of mine...
Hope this helps someone. Sorry for the rant :)

Anyone else with card reader issues should read this page. Just because your card reader doesn't appear to be working or has mysteriously dropped off your system doesn't necessarily mean a logic board replacement. I've repaired several portables over the years that had been quoted for costly logic board replacements, when in fact the failures were relatively easy to resolve once you understood the real problem.
It's common belief a PRAM or SMC reset should fix all hardware glitches but sometimes it just doesn't go deep enough, as I found out with my 2011 MBP. Simply removing the battery was all it took to resurrect my seemingly dead card reader, when PRAM and SMC resets failed to have any impact on the problem.

How to read data from credit card reader for CASH DESK (FPCJ)

Guys,
We are planning to implement CASH DESK (FPCJ) interface,
The requirement is when the user wants to pay his bill using his credit card by swiping on credit card machine (MAGTEK Made in TAIWAN) , I want read those detail and fill sap screen fields in FPCJ tcode like card number, name, expiration date and cvv number.
Can someone please provide guidelines on how to interface with an external card
reader to automatically get the card details into SAP when the card is
swiped?
Is there any event in FQEVENTS?
I found one event 6065 and when I try to debug by putting the breakpoint in the function module it's not stopping me there, I mean it's trigger that event,
could someone please help me to get those details...
Thanks
M

Hello,
Instead of FPCJ, why do not you use T-Code FPB0 <<< from ECC onwards use FPCD>>>?. Here you have the option of mentioning Card details. This shall be stored in the data base table DFKKOPKC. Do remember that you need to comply with PCI data & remove the card data details from the above table.
If needed, you can use events 1400 << gets triggered after you press 'Authorize'...call is made to a third party system that holds card data and validates the authencity of the card>> & 1401 can be used to edit 'Display' card data in FPB0.
Hope this helps

Card reader not reading

I have a Mid 2010 Macbook Pro. My SD card reader is not reading the SD card from my camara.
Please help!

Buy an external card reader that connect by USB. The one inside your Mac has failed and the only way to fix it is to replace the logic board.

Why doesn't my card reader work when I take it from the camera and put it in the reader? Nothing happens and it doesn't show up in finder.

When I put my card into the reader, nothing happens. It doesn't show up in finder so I can't dismount it. The pictures on it aren't readeable all of a sudden, except for two of them, and that's all that would download to iphoto, but I had to connect the camera since the card reader doesn't resond.

Hi bricknut dab,
Welcome to the Support Communities! Are you asking about the SD slot on your Mac, or is this an external card reader plugged into a USB port? If it is the one on your Mac, the article below may be helpful. Did you try more than one SD card? You can use Disc Utility to erase and reformat the card if needed.
About the SD and SDXC card slot
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3553
I put the card in the slot, but it did not mount. What should I do?
Remove the card and insert it again. Sometimes, if you put the SD card into the slot too slowly, it may not mount properly.
Can I reformat an SD card with Disk Utility?
Yes. Using Disk Utility, you can partition and format an SD device as FAT32 (using the MS-DOS FAT setting) or Mac OS Extended. The Mac OS Extended format can only be used on Macintosh systems. Cards formatted to Mac OS Extended will not be recognized by non-Apple systems. Formatting cards larger than 32GB for use with digital cameras, GPS, and other devices may require formatting them with the exFAT file system. When in doubt, format the cards in the device you intend to use with the card.
Cheers,
- Judy

Why does my macbook pro's built-in card reader not detect my SD card?

I have a Macbook Pro 15-inch Retina (Late 2013) and it has a built-in card reader. My SD card was working perfectly with the reader some days back, however, now it has all of a sudden stopped working! The funny thing is that when I put the same SD card into an external card reader connected to the same macbook, it works perfectly. Also, strangely, my card reader still works perfectly well with another SD card I have.
So, both the card reader and the SD card appear to be working separately, but why are they not working together?

two things to try
1. Reset SMC data. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
2. Do not push the card(s) all the way into the slot . back it out a fraction 1/16-1/8 inch until it appears in finder/desktop/etc...

SD card reader not seeing my 2.0GB SD card

The SD card model is the Rockfish Professional 2.0 GB, 166x. It works perfectly well in my Trust external card reader and my camera, just not in my new MacBook Pro 13. Any ideas?

Try inserting it quickly, Scott. Sometimes if the card is inserted too slowly they won't register.
Cheers

Satellite A300-N20 (PSAGUE) - Can I upgrade 5in1 card reader?

Hello
Is it possible to somehow "upgrade" 5 in 1 card reader in order to read Memory stick duo *PRO*, as for now this reader reads only memory stick duo (which is not in use any more with sony photo/cameras).
Thanx

Hello
The card reader on a notebook cant be upgraded. As far as I know its soldered on the mainboard and so its not possible to exchange it with another model.
So if you want to read cards they are not supported from the internal card reader you have to buy an external reader. I have also such an external card reader from Kingston. It was very cheap and can read all available cards.
