G5 won't read my new memory cards now?

Ok, so after going through a whole mess of getting the wrong memory cards (see this post: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8321578), I ordered new ones (which fit in just fine), but now that I've inserted them, the computer isn't recognizing them.
Yes, I've got them all the way in so the latches close, fitting into the slots on the side of the card, and they look as far in as the ones that were already in the system. Yes, I installed a pair, label side up. And yes, I followed Apple's online manual about putting the first sets in the slots marked 1, and now this is my first set for a pair of (outside) slots marked 2.
I've done and checked all this, but still when I check my Memory in the system profiler, the slots come up as empty.
I also tried resetting the NV-Ram by doing that apple/option/o/f thing, since I saw it suggested in another threadin this forum. Still the same issue. Am I missing some obvious step (I did follow the online manual) or any ideas of what could be wrong?

I'd bet you bought high-density ram. The G5 cannot use high-density ram so if that is the case you will have to exchange it for low-density ram which can be somewhat hard to find these days.
The best bet is to buy from a company that lists/sells RAM by computer model rather than memory speed/type.

MacBook Pro suddenly won't read SanDisk 8G memory card, nor Canon T2i USB connection.

Suggestions?
I've plugged the memory card into the slot several times not even a week ago and it worked just fine...now it won't.
I have tried plugging the camera in via the USB hook up and nothing happens but yet it works fine on other computers I've used.

I just received the following helpful URL link from SanDisk tech support.
http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/60
SanDisk responded within 5 hours of my inquiry. After removing all USB devices from my iMac and reinserting the card reader alone, the reader started working again. I ejected it numerous times from USB ports on the iMac as well as from a USB hub. After plugging my other USB devices back in, I have not detected if there was a device which was causing the conflict. As a precaution I have removed USB devices that are only used periodically such as a Colorvision Spyder2Express device used every 30 days or so to color correct my monitor.
Hope this helps others with Mac card reader issues.

E61 installation Acrobat Reader on new memory card

I installed a larger memory card in my E61, formatted and it found it working properly. However, a number of programs that work if I use the old small memory card do not appear on the menu if I insert the larger one. Among these programs are two I use all the time: Acrobat Reader and Zip Manager. I tried downloading and reinstalling but could not find the proper installation files. Both files Adobe offers for Acrobat reader under the Nokia/Symbian OS do NOT work with E61, and the Zip Manager installation file for Symbian I didn't find at all.

Those apps are available on Nokia's catalog list. Access the list on your E61 by going to:
Menu > Tools > Catalogs. Start up the app and install your choices onto your memory card.

N95 8GB Isnt reading/detecting any memory card.

My N95 isnt reading or noticing that a memory card is inserted, I tryed formating it it wouldnt let me, a message comes up saying "Drive not found". Even when i create a fold inside it a massage comes sayinf "Param error".
Clicking Open says empty.
I tryed to formating on the PC, but nothing changes, its still says the same thing.
I tryed 2 new memory cards and both gave me the same messages.
could I have some help pls.

I remind you that if you have something calling itself a Nokia N95 8GB that has a memory card slot, then it most certainly isn't a genuine Nokia device.
This being the case, all bets are off when it comes to hardware compatibility and you will receive no support here. All I can say is simply that the µSD card reader in your phone is most likely not an SDHC reader, meaning that it won't accept cards greater than 2GB.

I bought 2 new memory card to 4 grams each - replace them in your MacBook Pro 13-inch but it will not turn on - If you are installing a card for 2 and one for 4 d all works - tell me what could be the problem

I assume that you have installed new RAM in your MBP.
It would be helpful if you indicated the EXACT model/year MBP that you have.
What the the RAM specifications that you are trying to install?

Error -36 when trying to copy photos from new memory card to mac hd? HELP!! very important photos!

bought a new memory card, took 700+ photos, i can preview the videos (.mov) in finder and can see the thumbnail preview of the photos (.nef) but cannot open the photos larger in preview or copy any of the videos/photos to the hd. I can open the photos in photoshop directly from memory card but cant copy or move photos/videos from memory card to mac hd. (error -36 pops up..something about the file cant be read) please help!

I took the memory card back to best buy and the geek squad was able to help me fortunately by putting all of my pic files onto one of their PCs and then putting all my pics back onto a NEW memory card; then we plugged the new memory card into the computer and transferred the files seamlessly. Apparently there was some kind of issue with the way my memory card was formatted. I now put my new memory card into my camera, format it (very easily done with the in camera menu), and take a few test shots and transfer the pics to my computer before doing anything valuable with it. Thankfully all of my files were not damaged.
*BEWARE!! DO NOT FORMAT YOUR MEMORY CARD WHILE YOU HAVE PICS ON IT AS IT WILL CAUSE ALL PICS TO BE DELETED! IF YOU HAVE VALUABLE PICTURES TRANSFER THE ENTIRE DCIM FOLDER TO ANOTHER COMPUTER, THEN ERASE MEMORY CARD AND FORMAT IT, YOU THEN MAY BE ABLE TO PUT THE DCIM FOLDER BACK ON THE SAME MEMORY CARD AND USE IT SUCCESSFULLY. IF YOU STILL CANT USE THAT SAME MEMORY CARD YOU CAN TRY THE SAME PROCESS BUT AT THE END PUT THE FOLDER ONTO A NEW MEMORY CARD INSTEAD.
Hope this helps someone =)

Any one know when the iPad4 will be able to read 64gb exFAT memory cards?

Currently, the camera connection kit/iPad http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4101 can't read SDXC cards formatted ExFAT, and although not specified in the above link, 32GB cards are the max size. Next week when iOS 7 is released, maybe that will change.

Unknown content in new memory card

I just bought a Nokia N70 ME ( inclusive of 1GB memory card )recently, but when i try to transfer some MP3 files into the memory card,there was a msg pop-up stating not enough memory and asking me to delete some data first,it really beats me because after checking the m.card details,it shows that out of the 900++ MB memory,only 64 MB used,so i have four issues here,
1st,the solution to fix the problem mentioned above,
2nd,the way to retrieve all the data/files/folders which used up the 64MB memory and also the way to delete it,if required ( because in my impression, i thought the m.card should be empty since it's a new one ),
3rd, in what circumstances that i'm required to format the m.card?
4rd, the step/setting which can channel the mp3 files directly into the m.card during the transfer via bluetooth ( either from phone to phone or pc to phone ).
Any reply over this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much Petrib and John,i just came back from the Nokia outlet,the sales assistant had it all figured out..it's because the accessive messages in the inbox have used up most of the phone memory..this is what she did : go to messaging > new message > options > settings > other > memory in use ( set to the memory card instead of phone memory ). she also added, in order to transfer the multimedia/mp3 files frm the inbox to the m.card,the inbox must have sufficient memory to do the transfer,so she advised me to delete some of the msg in the inbox before the transfer..it works!
she also advised me to install the pc suite n backup all the original folders/files/software in the memory card in case we want to perform the formatting so it will be easier for us to do the re-transfer.

6110 transferring map to new memory card

Hi. I've just got a 6110 Navigator with UK map preloaded onto a memory card. I want to put in a bigger card but can't seem to be able to copy the map from the old one onto the new one. I've followed the help file instructions but it say Map Manager shouldhave a "Settings"button that I can't find to select the "copy card" option. Can anyone help?

the phone supports cards of 8 gb and higher. i currently got 8gb installed (make sure you have at least firmware 3.58 installed, 4.22 is better!)
nokia also says the phone supports 8gb, so ignore the post of babdi.
@bin_man: have you got at least firmware 3.58 installed? if so, reformat the microsdhc card, and then try to copy the data again. if you get the i/o error already while formating or later, the memory card is damaged (usually this kind of error occurs with damaged microsdhc cards). however you should still try to copy the data by simply using a different card-reader (do you currently transfer the data over usbcable through the nokia 6110 navigator onto the card?). and dont work on your computer during that time and best would be to disable the virus-scanner too.
@rickofpigs: first of all, also check firmware (3.58 or higher). second: format the microsdhc card, after that, start nokia navigator program once (with the microsdhc card in it, and no other data on the card), the phone will copy a few files onto the memory card that are necessary for the sync. after that you can try the sync, it should work fine.

E61 New Memory Card Files

Hi,
I have just bought a new 1Gb memory card for my E61. This works fine other than I have now lost my Extra programs supplied with the phone (Worldmate, Acrobat etc). I have found that they are on the original card supplied with the phone in hidden directories but I cannot copy them accross to the new card.
I have tried copying both on the phone itself and on my PC with no luck. I get all the other files but it will not transfer the hidden files.
Any ideas/
David

Thanks I figured out this after wasting time trying to copy the files. They are spread around the Nokia site though, but now loaded onto phone memory not card now to get rid of the problem.

Can't xfer programs to new memory card?

I've got a number of programs on my N82 and I just recently bought an 8gb minisdhc. I used the content copier to make a backup of my old memory card, then inserted the new one and restored it. It successfully moves all of the files, but it doesn't allow the actual programs to run.
The program that I really want to get working again is my Garmin Mobile XT. I've been looking around and I can't find the discs for it, it was expensive and I'd love to have a way to move it from the old card to the new one.
Anyone have any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Don't bother using the content copier, use the card reader to copy the content of the old memory card, including hidden and system objects, to your desktop. Format the new card in the phone, then put it in the card reader and copy all the stuff, including hidden and system objects, over to it. The applications on it should now work.

Can't read Sony SxS memory card.

Just discovered that my new $3000 MacBook Pro can't read my Sony SxS 64 GB memory card (XDCAM camera). Another "victory" of form over function! Can someone suggest a workaround? The built-in SD slot is useless to me...

Get an external card reader that supports your card
Sony make one, and Amazon sell it.
