Firewire CF Card Reader Compatible Please Lexar is NOT!

Just bought a $50 Lexar Firewire Compact Flash reader only to find out it is not supported by Tiger or Lexar for Tiger. It would be nice to get a patch from Apple or a driver from Lexar but I'm not holding my breath. Right now I just want to know if there is another firewire CF card reader that will for sure work on my G4 tower running 10.4.5 Thanks!

Alex - I have the same card reader...it works FINE with my 1G Sandisk Ultra II - BUT Tiger will NOT mount a 2G Lexar card in the same reader....I've exchanged the reader twice and still no joy....WHAT IS UP WITH THIS? I can find nothing on any of the Mac forums here or elswhere and can't believe others are not having a problem...??? any ideas...anyone?
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

FireWire 800 Card Reader

I just bought 3 Lexar Professional UDMA FireWire® 800 Card Readers. The problem I am having is that they wont work in the 800 port. It cant be the card reader because they are plug and play and not all 3 would be broken. So, either there is a firmware update or something. Please help.
Thanks

Have you tried using the readers individually, using the long fw800 cable, and not the short connecting ones? I have two of them and the short cable(s) caused some transfer problems in which I lost images. Perhaps because they get bent so much, the stress damaged the short cables somehow.

SD card reader suggestions please

I just got a new DSLR and really was hoping to use ipad's "photos" app when I'm away from home. I'm unsure what is a good reliable card reader for ipad air, so lightning to sd card reader is what I think I'm looking for. The products available seem to get plenty of absolutely terrible reviews from users, so I thought I should get in here see if anyone has had success, and if so with what product?
thanks everyone!!
Ciao!
Mike

To import photos from an SD card that was formatted and used in a camera you need the Lightning to SD Card Reader. Here is the link to that in the Apple Store.

Another option is to connect the camera directly to the iPad. This will allow transfer of photos on the card to the iPad while the card is still in the camera. It is called the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter.

When using Card Reader, the automatic downloader is not working in Photoshop Elements 8

I have Windows Vista and just upgraded to Photoshop Elements 8.0. The Elements program is not automatically launching when I insert a CF card in my PC. The settings I have for the camera or card reader is 1) Begin download -immediately 2) Shot date 3)Delete Options - After copying, Verify and Delete Originals. When I was using Photoshop Elements 6.0 and inserted a memory card in the PC, the elements program would automatically launch and after photos were transferred, it would ask if you wanted to delete photos from the card reader.
I tried changing the settings from the Download options from Generic Device - show APD Dialog (Standard) to the Automatic Download option but that didn't help. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make the automatic downloader work and bring up the option to delete from the card reader? If not, I will have to uninstall Elements 8 and go back to Elements 6.0
Thanks.

First of all be sure your space bar isn't stuck. Secondly, if you have a flash window open, you may need to close it to get rid of the hand (this happens a lot when people have a tutorial open in the background).

CF card reader for photo impport does not show on LR3

Firsst I'm a newbie to Apple and LR3 and using Scott Kelby's LR3 book to start. Incredible as it may be I'm stuck beyond Step 2 (the very beginning of the book) in trying to import photos, first form a DVD and also from a CF card reader. The error message on my DVD says that there is an initialization error (OK, OK , the DVD with photos was created on another laptop, running on Windows Vista, so it may be a Read Only file). Aside from that, however, my CF card with photos does not even show up on LR3.
I have gone to System Preferences and changed the way I want CDs and DVDs to show. In both cases I changed it to "Open in LR3". Is that wrong?
Here is a Screen shot of LR3 Library when tryingn to import photos. No (CF card) drive is shown. (Hope it shows)
file://localhost/Users/dennisluz/Desktop/Screen%20Shot%202012-03-19%20at%204.29.50%20PM.pn g
I'm getting desperate as I have spent many hours trying to figure how LR3 works. I have created "My LR Photos" folder in LR and I was hoping to create additional subfolders under the above to store all my photos.

No volunteers?
OK, the saga of the non-loaded photos continues. Since my last post I have on one or two occasions been able to have photos from my CF card load and show on LR3. The last time it was successful, I had the iMac turned on first and then, after half a minute, connected the CF card reader to the back of the computer and when LR3 was opened, the photos loaded. I have tried connecting the Card reader to the computer first before turning on the iMac but it did not work. Is there a procedure as to what should be turned on first?
Here's another thing: the one time when my photos loaded I was able to go to the Develop module and do all kinds of things the software allowed me to do. There were some photos which I did not select in the Library module and so they stayed in the CF card. Now, when I took more photos in the same CF card (there was still a lot of memory left), no new photos were able to be loaded in LR3. Do I have to clear something first, like a path?
I hope you folks who read this don't get annoyed by this on-again-off-again posting, but, as a newcomer to LR3, I find this confusing. Scott Kelby's book has been helpful in some way but it does not address many situations like mine. I wish I had spent some $$ on the other book by Victoria (?) to supplement kelby's book. Maybe I will.

B570 USB ports and card reader result in error of "not accessble" until system is restarted

Hello,
I have a new IdeaPad B570. Whenever I plug in my external hdd or other device (like iPod) in any of the three usb ports I get an error that the drive is not accessible...until I restart the computer and then it recognizes it with no problem. The same thing happens when I put my SD camera card into the card reader. This is annoying for things that should be plug and play. However, when I plug in a mouse it connects immediately.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you!
Marcy

Looking for a smart card reader compatible with Mac OS X 10.5

Hi there,
I am looking for a smart card (card with microCPU) reader which is compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 .
In substance, what I need is a little space to store all my passwords in, due to the fact that I might forget one: I have many to remember!
I have an USB key, but I use it in many computers, even in ones whose security cannot be 100% trusted.. and I want no doubt when talking about safety.
Here's an image of what I want in poor words:
http://www.ordnas.it/prodotti/lett_mem/imgpr1592-01-3.jpg
The main issue is that most SC readers are /not/ Mac compatible.
So what brand should I opt for ? What costs should I expect ?
Thank to everyone who'll help.

Thank you for your answer.
This might be a solution, I'll take it seriously.
Can this other be a solution too ?

On the manufacturer's page, it's stated that it's compatible with Mac OS X.
41 bucks + shipping + the price of a smart card..

Satellite M60-104 - memory card reader does not read memory stick pro duo

Hi guys,
the built in card reader on my laptop does not recognize/read sony's memory stick pro duo - is this normal or not?
I know it should read memory stick pro but not sure about pro duo.
Can you help me please?

Hi
>the built in card reader on my laptop does not recognize/read sony's memory stick pro duo - is this normal or not?
Of course this could be normal behavior because not all cards are compatible and supported.
I would recommend taking look into the user manual because there you can find a information which cards can be used in the notebooks card reader!!!

Panic when using USB 2 multi card reader

On 2 different intel iMacs, I've got the following error using a USB2 Multi Card Reader (Shows up as a Mass Storage Device under Sys Pref):
IOUSBMassStorageClass has corrupted the registry
Registry - am I running windoz or something??!?!?!
I've used this multi card reader on my G4 for a long time and never had any problems with it. On these 2 different intel iMac's it often stops importing my photos, and sometimes won't mount my memory stick cards. One one occasion I got the black/gray screen telling me to restart my computer, and that's when I got the message above. Yes, I've tried other memory cards, and a different USB cable... and at times I still loose communication with the card reader.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks!

Hi, is your card reader Mac Intel compatible? which manufacturer?
I would Repair Permissions then Turn Off. Disconnect everything except KB/M
restart - I would run OnyX..then Turn Off, connect all your usb & firewire - including card reader if mac compatible! Restart..L

Memory Card "Stuck" in A720 multi-card reader

This is an embarrassing situation. Really appreciate if someone can give me some idea.
I just got the A720 for a few days. I used SD cards fine with A720's multi-card reader, but last night when I (gently as with the SD cards) slotted in a regular Sony memory stick in it (6-in-1, accepting MS/ MS Pro), the whole stick moved beyond the opening and well into the slot. The A720 could detect the card and I immediately copied all the file into the HD and ejected it on Windows.
Now the memory stick remains in(side) the card reader slot, and I dare not touch it further lest it goes further inside. Is this a design flaw? I was appalled and am frustrated by how this could have happened -- I actually used my little finger to slot the card in!. I bought the A720 mainly for photo post-processing.
Any idea I can get the stick out (and even better slot it in without the same happening again)? Thank you.

Hi
Welcome To Lenovo Community
There are various reason for a memory card to get stuck inside the card reader
Most common is the direction in which the card is inserted, size of the card also matters or any obstacle which is their inside the card reader.
Push a little harder on the card and it might pop out. The spring mechanism on the inside is designed to release once it is pushed past a certain point.
If this doesn't work, you need to force it out using a flat tool. To do so Turn off your system , Press the Power Button for 15 seconds to drain out the remaining charge
Now use a needle nose pliers, areal long thin one. And gently pull the memory card out.
You can also try using a paper clip apply glue on the edge. Very tiny amount that won't drip push clip in and touch the back of the card. Wait until it is hard in about 15 secs and pull the card out.
if this does not work contact Local Lenovo service center , we need to open the card reader to remove the memory card
Hope This Helps
Cheers!!!

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.

Photo Card Reader & iPad Mini

Can I use the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit to connect a Card Reader (compatible with 4 different cards for my different cameras) to my iPad Mini?
I note the product description describes connecting my camera with a USB cable; would the card reader connected via the USB cable also work?
Thanks!
...John

Probably not. A 2009 update reduced the amount of power allocated to the port and multi-card readers tend to want more power than the iPad can put out.
You might try it if you have a powered USB hub that you put between the ipad and hte reader.

Ideapad U160 - Internal Card Reader Issue After Sleep

Hi All.
I've just purchased a Lenovo U160 and I've not been able to solve an issue with the internal card reader. It's a "Realtek USB 2.0 Card Reader" internally wired to the motherboard.
When I got the laptop, I put a Momentus XT in it and installed Windows. I've tried using the drivers that were included on the Lenovo recovery partition, the ones on their website, and the ones direct from Realtek with no success.
The problem is, when my laptop resumes from sleep mode, I get a fair few "new USB device" noises and about the same number of "USB device not recognized" errors. If I look in the device manager when this happens, the card reader is no longer there, and I have an "Unknown Device".
After a shut down, or a reboot, it's back again.
I've tried another clean install of Windows but I'm still having the same issue (I've applied KB974476 and KB978258 before installing the drivers).
There are no sleep options in the BIOS, it's very basic. I am running out of ideas..
Any thoughts?
