File copy to SD Card via Card Reader hangs

I have a 2gb SD card and Iogear sd card reader. Whenever I try to copy more than a few files to it, the Finder hangs. I am copying mp3 files to use in an mp3 player that accepts sd cards. I have tried copying all folders at once (30 folders, 1.8gig), one at a time, all files but no folders, and other variations. It will copy fine to a point, and then the copy hangs. I have mounted the device in VPC and performed the same copy and everything works fine.
I am using a Powermac G5, dual 2gig, using the front USB 2.0 port and the card reader is the only device connected.
Thanks for your help. Brad

I updated to the latest release, 10.4.6, and still have the problem. It also happens with a 1gb SD card. I was successful copying one folder at a time to the 1gb drive. However, I also have a 1bg USB thumb drive and have no trouble copying several folders at once.
Any suggestions?

  • Files copied from UDF data dvd are Read-only

    I have a bunch on data DVDs burnt on a pc using Roxio Easy Media Creator 7. These disks are UDF format and can be read perfectly on pc or mac. The problem is : if I copy a file to my desktop, it becomes owned by me but r-xr-xr-x. It's not a problem for me personally but other users I support have a hard time figuring what's wrong when they can't rename the file they just copied.
    Is it normal behavior or am I the only one with this problem ? I was supprised not to find anything in apple forum about this.
    The work around is to change permissions to read-write in the getinfo window + apply to included elements + password or use chmod but it's not how I'd expect it to work. And I don't know how to modify the default permissions given to files from an UDF dvd. Copies of files from iso9660 disks are read-write.
    3 PM G5s and 2 G4s   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I don't believe this is a problem of leopard in general. i can not reproduce this behavior with any of my afp shares. no matter how i connect (as an owner or as a guest) after I copy something to the desktop it gets standard 644 (not 600) permissions.

  • No write access to files copied from a CD-ROM

    Hello:
    I have searched and found a few topics on fixing permissions on files copied from CD-ROM that are read only. I would like to know if there is a way to prevent the problem. I routinely get files burned on Windows machines and I can copy the folders and enclosed files to my desktop but both the folders and the files inside show up with "Read Only" permissions.
    While it is possible to fix it, I would have thought that if they are copied from a CD-ROM to my desxtop that I should automatically have write access to them. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

    Repartitioning and reformatting will remove all the information on the drives. You will prefer to backup any data you wish to save. You can do that by transferring those files to one of the two drives using a Windows computer or by purchasing a third drive that can be OS X formatted to which the data on one of the Windows drives may be copied. Then repartition/reformat one of the Windows drives for OS X and copy the data from the third drive to this drive. Then copy the data on the remaining Windows drive to the now empty third drive, repartition/reformat the second Windows drive. Finally, copy the data from the third drive to the second Windows drive.
    There is really no need for a Time Capsule nor would it be preferred since you will now have three perfectly good external drives to use for backups and/or storage.

  • Reading smart card via swipe, Am I on right path?

    Hello everyone,
    I would like to develop a simple application which allows
    user authentication via card swipe. I would like to know if AS3 can
    accommodate such task?
    Thanks.

    See, on the external, I can't have three folders that all say iTunes music folder, each one belonging to a different user.
    Sure you can. Put them in separate folders (John's music, Mary's music and Sam's music).
    But you should be creating new iTunes folders, not simply iTunes music folders. The iTunes music folder is in the iTunes folders but so it the iTunes library file.
    Any reason you want the music separated? You can put it all in one library. Everyone uses the same and simply create a playlist of the music they want. This way, if you have any of the same music, you won't have it on the computer more than once.

  • Hi, I need Photoshop Organizer to stop automatically start and try to organize files when I insert a card in the reader. How do I do that?

    Hi, I need Photoshop Organizer to stop automatically start and try to organize files when I insert a card in the reader. How do I do that?

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    Which version of Photoshop Elements are you using?
    The automatic running is usually invoke by your operating system. For instance in Windows 7, go to the control panel and select Autoplay. There, look for the action when pictures are detected - it is probably set to elements. Set it as you want.

  • Unable to see files or write to external SD card since 4.3 upgrade

    HI. I have an external SD card plugged in to my SIII.
    It's been working great for months.
    A week or so ago, an upgrade was pushed down to my phone, 4.3 to be exact.
    Since then I can't see files on my external SD card.
    If I plug a cable into my computer and browse to my phone's external card I can see them on my PC.
    I've searched around and backed up my files, unmounted, reboot, remount. Reformat the card, unmount & remount.
    No change.
    I've formatted the SDcard on a PC and no difference.
    Is anyone else experiencing this?
    The card is a SanDisk Ultra 64gb microSD card, but it really isn't card specific.
    I put my older 16gb card that I used to use and it can't read any files on there either.
    The phone DOES see the card and cant report free space, it just can't do anything with it since the last update.
    What can I do?
    Thanks,
    David

    After I formatted the card I can copy files via the PC & cable, but they don't show up when viewing from the phone.
    If I use an app like Astro File manager (which did show the files correctly, prior to the 4.3 update), it shows the word "empty" for truly empty folders but it just shows a blank empty folder for folders that have a file that I copied in via the PC & cable.
    If I try to make a folder in Astro, it looks like I did, but it doesn't show in Astro.
    If I look from my PC, it shows the folder that I created on the phone via Astro.
    Once again, everything was working great up until the pushed 4.3 update.
    The Old card does show up fine on other phones.
    I haven't tried the 64gb card on another phone yet, but the card isn't the issue.
    As I copy over files to the card via the PC and cable, the phone does reflect the data used/free space correctly.
    I see a similar issue someone is having on an S4, but the thread is locked:
    https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/1016871
    Still wondering what I can do. Can I downgrade my S3 OS? to 4.1/4.2?

    the Wifi storage options are interesting but it seems they only allow to read files from the device on the iPad but not transfer files to the storage device via WiFi.
    I'm looking for a possibility to use the iPad for photography while traveling, without the access to a computer.
    Shooting photo's in RAW format crates pretty big files that will fill up the iPad's memory pretty fast if you shoot a lot during a (let's say) month long trip.
    my idea was to use load the photo's to the iPad so i could view them and sort out any bad ones. then copy them over to the storage device so i can continue using my CF cards for shooting. I have an image thank for copying the photo's directly to the HDD but it would be so sweet to be able to check them on the iPad before hand.
    any suggestions?

    Check out pogo plug device, it allows you to upload camera roll via wifi.

  • Anyway to copy photos from an SD card to PlayBook?

    Is there anyway to copy photos from an SD card to the PlayBook? I know the iPad has an SD reader that can do this, is there anything for the PlayBook that can? 
    This would be handy for me while on holiday. 

    The easiest way would be to use a PC to transfer the pictures from your BlackBerry to your PlayBook.
    Some third party apps allow you to copy files from your BlackBerry via bridge. The only one I know for sure that works for this is Files and Folders.

  • Permissions on Android AT200 removable SD card set to read only

    Recently the removale SD card on my at200 has been set to read only for all but a few applications. This mean that when editing or trying to save, copy docs on the SD card I get the "not enough permissions" message. Any editing by these applications requires shifting files to onboard SD card and back again.
    Toshiba file manager is able to rw OK, but my other file manager fails, as does ezy PDF.
    Reading the attributes of the SD card show that it is set to rw for data.p (permissions XML). But looking at info from file manager shows sdcard directories and files set to dr- or -r-.
    Is there some way of getting this changed to allow access for all my installed apps? Or even some?
    Cheers

    MisterX,
    Found this note from zc2 on the xda forum dealing with the same issue December 2011.
    "The owners of Honeycomb-powered tablets experience a problem writing to the external SD card, because since v3.2 the permissions for the files there were changed from sdcard_rw to media_rw.
    According the file /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml, any application with declared permission "android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE" should be included to that media_rw group.
    But that won't happen.
    I made a test application to show the group membership (it just executes the "id" command), and according to its output, the application is not member of the media_rw group, despite the "android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE" permission is mentioned in its manifest.xml"
    This is somewhat confirmed by a comment returned to me from the AntTek File Explorer developers on an interum work around for this problem (a common one since 3.2)
    "While waiting, the simple solution, if your device is rooted, is as follows:
    1. Using AntTek File Explorer, active Native mode from application preference.
    2. Navigate to /system/etc/permissions.
    3. Open platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
    4. Add an additional group definition for this permission: <group gid="media_rw" />. It will grant AntTek Explorer (and other applications) permission to writing to removable SD Card. After edited, it will look like:
    <permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">
    <group gid="sdcard_rw" />
    <group gid="media_rw" />
    </permission>
    5. Save the changes to the file.
    6. Restart your tablet."
    My tablet is not rooted so this was not available to me, but it appears this is a major issue for Honeycomb, including the version on the AT200. Is there any plans to fix this bug do you think? Or is there a date for the promised update to ICS for the AT200, another prime selling point.
    Cheers

  • Spotlight can't find files on my camera's SD card.

    If I do a search (via Spotlight, via the "pill" oval, or via cmd-F) on my 32gb SD card for "RW2" (Panasonic RAW file), I get nothing. If I do the same search on my HDD, I get lots of hits, as there are lots of RW2 files on my machine, but none of the results reside on the SD card. This tells me Leopard can see the files, just not on my SD card.
    The card is FAT32 by neccessity. Is there something I'm doing wrong to not be able to acess the files via Spotlight? EasyFind finds them in 2 seconds.
    Thanks.

    I've had some luck with excluding a drive and then removing the exclusion. This triggers spotlight to reindex a drive, maybe a memory card too?

  • Log and Transfer Window unable to access all the files that were stored a P2 card

    I have a 64gb P2 card that was filled to capacity (63.09gb) on a recent shoot with a Panasonic HPX170 camcorder.  An addlitional 16gb card was in the second slot.
    I transferred the files from the 64gb P2 card to my iMac as usual, and did not see any files to transfer on the second card.  When accessing those files in FCP 6.0 I only see part of the files with the last one listed as "incomplete".  Four files that I see in the P2 card transfer folder do not show up in the Log and Transfer.   The LASTTEXT Clip file was transferred with a 3:07pm time, the inaccessible files end with a 3:06pm time.
    I have the original 64gb P2 card in tact so I re-transferred all contents to my computer and into a new folder.   When I opened a new project to see if I could access all the files, only the files I previously was able to access came up. 
    Have I created a FCP Log and Transfer and just need to reset something in FCP?  Is there a way to recover the data/restore a path to the data via FCP so I can access all the  files or is that a Panasonic issue? 

    Oy,  If it's the second or first half of a spanned clip that's missing, FCP will not import, and the camera cannot repair.  There is nothing to repair, according to the camera. Files are just missing.
    There are third party MXF software options that allow FCP to import the P2 files natively, without converting to QT.  I wonder if they will see the MXF files, or if they too need the complete file to do so.  I think most have demos. 
    Calibrated Softare has MXF import:

  • I am trying to copy songs to an sd card for a digital photo frame. I changed my setting in iTunes to mp3 format before I downloaded the song but it didn't work. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions? I would be very grateful!

    I am trying to copy songs to an sd card for a digital photo frame. I changed my settings in iTunes to mp3 format before I downloaded them but it did not work. What am I doing wrong? When I play the sd card in my mac or on a lenovo laptop it works but not in the photo frame. I would be grateful for any ideas as to what I am doing wrong.

    Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value).  You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
    In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
    Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
    Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
    Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
    The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these).  Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
    In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above.  As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

  • SD card set to read only and I can't change it

    I bought a brand new 64GB SD card and used it for the first time today. I inserted it into the SD card slot on my mid 2010 MBP and copied the files to my drive. When I wanted to delete the files however, I couldn't. I tried using cmd+backspace, dragging it to the trash and even trying to erase/format the card in Disk Utility to no avail - everything was greyed out.
    I've looked around to try and find a solution but can't. Does anyone know what's wrong or what I shoud do?
    I've also checked if the lock switch was set to lock on the card, which it isn't. The card also appears read only on a Windows machine, and I can't change the permissions on either Mac or PC. I've also reset my PRAM as I saw this as a possible solution by another use but it hasn't worked.
    Please help!

  • How to copy original content from memory card to a...

    I ordered a memory card for my 6233, and tried to copy the contents of the card to my PC, in order to get them onto the new memory card - but I get an "access denied" message when connecting the phone via my USB cable in storage mode. I assume this is because the content is copy protected.

    HotSync is a program, not something to be purchased on eBay!
    It is part of a free program from Palm called "Palm Desktop".  Go to the pages Hook directed you to, download and install the program.
    You can then install programs to your Palm correctly!  You will not need the CD.
    You will need a program called Documents To Go to easily use Microsoft Word and Excel files.  This will have to be purchased from Dataviz.com.  Be sure to look for a version that is compatible with your device.
