Havinf trouble with card reader

I have an HP Pavilion slimline. About 6 mo ago my built in card reader stopped working. It just says need to format card and the it says it's unable to format. It was working fine then one day nothing. I have to download photos now with the camera and usb port or use the laptop then email them to myself. Any ideas?

grdgreer,
It is important to know the computer model and OS version, inc 32 or 64bit. Also helpful is knowing the exact card (SD, SDHC) and GB size. SanDisk cards are formatted FAT32, not NTSC. SanDisk states to never format a card with the computer, always format using the camera.
Can you confirm:
1) Did this same card work previously in this slimline.
2) That you never formatted it using the computer.

Trouble uploading photos with card reader

I am having trouble with uploading. The card reader works fine on my husband's PC but not on my MacBook. It will upload 7-8 photos and say the card reader was ejected wrong. The card reader is still in the USB port at the time of the error message and hasn't been removed and all the photos haven't been uploaded. Are there certain card readers for MAC?

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.

Camera connective kit does not work with card reader

Can I only use my USB camer connective kit with my camera and not a card reader?

Which card reader? Are you using an SD card in it or some other form factor?
As long as you're targeting an SD card with photos or movies, it should work same as connecting to a camera....but in that case, there is really no need since the camera kit includes an SD reader.

Importing into Lightroom with card reader doesn't show previews

I am using Lightroom 2.4 with Adobe 5.4 Raw on a Windows XP based laptop -- however the problem I am having also presents on my desktop which also uses Lightroom 2.4 with Adobe 5.4 and Windows XP. In fact the issue is completely the same on both computers: When I try to import photos directly into Lightroom using a card reader, the interface opens, but does not show the previews -- and yes, the show preview box is checked. The preview boxes are there, but they are completely greyed out. If I use the same card reader but direct it to open into Photoshop Elements it shows the previews and it also shows them in Bridge for CS4. So clearly the problem doesn't lie with the computer or card or cardreader. It seems only in Lightroom that the previews do not show up. Adobe raw supports my camera which is set to shoot raw and it also makes a JPG copy, but neither show up.
I spent more than an hour with a tech trying to get this to work and didn't solve the problem. I'm hoping that someone has some bright ideas that will help me out.

I tried to respond before, but I think the message didn't go through. Sorry. Because my Lightroom hasn't been working the way it is supposed to, I have been doing what you suggest -- saving the photos from my card reader to a file through Bridge -- which does open the previews -- and then importing them to Lightroom. But it means one extra step and Lightroom's strength is supposed to be work flow, so I would like to get it to work properly. I think that if the card reader were faulty -- and the problem occurs with several different card readers -- that it wouldn't show the previews in Bridge or even Photoshop Elements, which it does. So I think there is some problem with Lightroom, not the card reader. Any other suggestions? I'd be happy to know about them. Meanwhile, thanks for your reply.

You should only download Adobe Reader from the real Adobe site, clones can be bad:

Can I use 8250 lcd with card reader ...

I have broken Photosmart 8250 and I want to use lcd display for viewing pictures from printer`s card reader. What can I do (hammering, shortcuting ...) ?

If your SD card reader is from Apple, you shouldn't have any problems. If your card reader is from a 3rd party source, it's possible to have a problem. Do the update.

Trouble with Applescript Reading a File

Hello everyone,
I am having trouble getting applescript to read a file. Here is my script:
on open theItems
    tell application "Finder" to set theItems to (sort theItems by name)
    set pastContentsOfI to "DONTDELETETHISTIME"
    set pastPathOfI to "DONTDELETETHISTIME"
    repeat with itemI in theItems
        set itemI to POSIX file itemI
        open for access itemI
        set iContents to (read itemI)
        close access itemI
        if (iContents = pastContentsOfI) and (pastPathOfI ≠ "DONTDELETETHISTIME") then
            do shell script "rm " & (POSIX file pastPathOfI)
        end if
        set iContents to pastContentsOfI
        set pastPathOfI to itemI
    end repeat
end open
It is a script that checks for consecutive duplicates in a group of files. However, when I drop a group of files into it, I get this:
Any ideas? ("106.png" is the first file in my group of items)
Thanks so much!
-Elijah

The whole script would look like this, unless you wanted to streamline it:
on open theItems
          tell application "Finder"
                    set theItems to (sort theItems by name)
                    repeat with itemI in theItems
                              set contents of itemI to itemI as alias
                    end repeat
          end tell
          set pastContentsOfI to "DONTDELETETHISTIME"
          set pastPathOfI to "DONTDELETETHISTIME"
          repeat with itemI in theItems
                    set iContents to (read itemI)
                    if (iContents = pastContentsOfI) and (pastPathOfI ≠ "DONTDELETETHISTIME") then
do shell script "rm " & (POSIX file pastPathOfI)
                    end if
                    set iContents to pastContentsOfI
                    set pastPathOfI to itemI
          end repeat
end open
The first little repeat loop that I added is a bit on the tricky side. what's happening is this:
The sort command returns a list of Finder object references (they look like File X of folder Y of Disk Z). Only the Finder and System Events know what to do with these; outside of Finder and SE tell blocks they throw errors. the trick is to convert these to alias format which is recognized by applescript everywhere.
the repeat loop runs through the theItems list. itemI is a reference to an item in the list (basically a pointer, if you know C). the contents of itemI to itemI as alias line first converts the value of itemI to alias format, then set the thing itemI points to (the actual item in the list) to that new value.
What comes out the far end is a list of aliases understandable by other parts of the script.

Masive trouble with adobe reader XI

ok so heres the problem from first noticing to now signed up for Acrobat.com on my ipad works fine went to my computer to upload from reader XI network error won't let me sign in at all. well that was a bit troubling i decided to fix it later worked around it went to the website and uploaded from there. Next i downloaded a document i needed to print opene it up on the computer in acrobat XI. go to print and i get the following two errors "the document could not be printed" followed by "there were no pages selected to print" well that was obviously odd so next i tried printing again typed in a page range to print so it was definitely selected... same errors. Huh.. so next step i open another pdf try to print Same Error.
next step i uninstall reader andreinstall it see if that works... same problems no acrobat.com no printing... same errors.. next i uninstalled every single adobe product on the computer and reinstalled no change. browsed these forums and the apparently 2 documents on printing that dont even cover these messages... find the special removal tool download it use it restart try again. Same problems no change complete waste of my time decided to use the older version of the tool just in case its something old on my system holding it down used the tool restart reinstall.. same problem. i have no ideas left trying to find support answers on here is a joke, took me 20 minutes to fuigure out how to make a topic, a fix or a better product at this point i dont care i just want to be able to print this damned form from my computer.

I'd have contacted support first.. if they had a way to be contacted without having a full version of acrobat they apparently reglate anything to do with their free reader program here to be solved or not hence a lot of my frustration i know its a serious issue but i cannot find a way to talk to them. the link was interesting but not helpful its not telling me i dont have a printer but saying that i did not select anything in the program to print which i have.. i spent over an hour searching for a way to contact support before i gave up and posted here.. which was a chore in and of itself.
I think the issue is one of communication i think the reader program is cut off from talking to the rest of the computer somehow.. it would explain both the "network error" for connecting to adobe.com and the print problems.. i think... though those are a bit stranger, i think what might be happening (being totally ignorant of how the program actually works) is that the program brings up whatever apparatus it uses to print then cannot send the data to print to it resulting in "nothing selected"
ok this has been up nearly a month i have no helpful replies i cannot contact support because they dont offer it for reader anymore apparently so i have to say this as support sucks.. someone anyone tell me another product i can download and adobe can go cry about it if they are going to call a forum support they should at least check on it now and then and make sure all the questions get answered my dad is apparently experiencing the same problem with his copy of reader AND his copy of photoshop elements (7 i think its too old for adobe support to talk to you about it) so basicaly what this all come sdown to is adobe has told me "we don't want you to use our products go away" i can garuntee you my dad is not going to be buying any new versions of photoshop since he cant get help with the one he has i sure as hell wont be buying anything adobe since they wont give me support with their free products... while i'm asking for a competing product to reader anyone know something i can install instead of flash i want adobe purged from my system completely

Trouble with Adobe Reader X - acsm file

I got this new computer and have been having real trouble getting my books from Kobo. I have my Adobe Digital Editions account running, but when I go to Kobo and try to download my books, I keep getting a message that "Adobe reader could not open URLLink (10).acsm because it is either not a supported file type or file has been damaged." What the heck do I do? Thanks in advance for any advice.

If you have an .ascm file on your computer (and you know where it is.....),
you can use your computer's utility program (such as Windows Explorer) to
display its location. Then, you can right-click on the name, and choose
'Open With' from the drom-down menu. When the list of available programs
displays, pick Adobe Digital Editions. That 'should' get ADE to open the
file and go and get the ebook.

Trouble with locked/read only files and folders

After reinstalling OSX I have an external harddrive with locked files and folders. I´ve heard that it is possible to unlock all files and folders from Terminal (it will take hours to unlock manually). Anyone who knows a script that will set read and write access to all files and folders on a hard drive?

Trouble with Adobe Reader 9.3

Website form will not open for printing. Using Adobe Reader 9.3.1. When selecting the form to be printed it tries to download but halts at about 50% in the progress bar. In about 2 minutes a block appears telling me to quit Adobe Reader and try again. What's going on here? This started just in the last couple of days. Haven't had this trouble before. Using IE 8 browser.

Michael:
I tried your suggestion of right clicking on the file. It won't let me do
this. Still doesn't work.
This is a selection button at the bottom of a form that when you click on
it, it will open the print screen. This has worked perfectly for ever since
the website put this into being. All of a sudden it stops working a few
days ago.
I sometimes can get it going by dumping adobe reader from the computer,
then reloading. It will let (maybe) me print about two forms then it quits
(stalls) again. I have a deadline to meet by this Friday and really need
this option of printing these envelopes (forms).
I have not changed anything, nor added anything to my system.

Trouble with Adobe Reader

Possibly 2 or 3 weeks ago I found that I couldn't fill out some pdf documents or edit old ones on my computer my husband needs to submit to a contractor. Shortly after that I found that I couldn't print invoices from quickbooks. End of the year time and found that I couldn't fill out IRS forms. Sometimes they will pop up after telling me there is an error. Sometimes the message would say if I had adobe reader I should re try the page which wasn't the answer. But I was not able to fill out these forms and I don't think I was able to print them either.
I usually use IE, but I tried mozilla also. I was pretty sure I had removed google chrome a while back. I tried to run a fix on adobe reader, do updates, then tried to remove it and re-install. Also restarted the computer a few times. I have Windows 7. I have tried researching this and I am at a loss. I read someone's issue with reader and noticed that I now have the google chrome and found that I can fill out and print the IRS forms. I haven't tried quickbooks or the other documents as I've been trying to get this stuff in the mail. So I have 3 browsers now and only one will allow me to use pdf. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I don't know why these things are happening. What I suggest is to download the documents to your local disk first, then open them in Adobe Reader from there.
Download the documents by right-clicking on an online PDF link, then 'save link as' or 'save target as'.

Troubles with Adobe Reader,

9 times out of 10 times, when I open Safari, it when I try and Open a Adobe file (PFD). I have updated everything, I don't understand why this happens...
Any Ideas?

My Safari, won't open a PDF file, unless I have Adobe Reader...
Yes, it will. That ability has been there since 10.4.
If you open Adobe Reader and go to Preferences > Internet, you need to uncheck the box where it says "Open PDF files in browser with…", then quit Adobe Reader. Next, you need to remove the Adobe PDF Plugin located in HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins. Then copy/paste this command into Terminal. press Enter, then quit Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool false
Now restart Safari and try dragging PDF file on your system into an open browser window; it should render without any problem.
