How can I restore my card reader after upgrading to Mavericks?

I have a MacBookPro that is not identifying the SD card reader since installing Mavericks. I have heard that ScanDisk has a patch but I have not been able to download it from their site. I have read that downloading the SandDisk patch on a PC and then transferring it to a Mac will fix the problem. I would sure appreciate some help restoring my Mac after uploading to Mavericks. My firewire drive does not seem to be working either. I cannot use my M-Audio firewire interface for recording and editing in ProTools. This represents a lot of down time and/or a pretty big loss of money for me. Can anybody tell me whether Apple provides support for these types of problems or is it completely up to the user to solve them? I am a relatively new Apple user. I bought the MacBook Pro shortly after they were released, about 2 1/2 years ago. Up to that time I was strictly a Windows user. I am surprised Apple did not seem to go to much, if any trouble to warn me of the difficulty I would have after upgrading to Mavericks. Apple, where are you?

Launch the Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Conenct the card reader.
Then see if Image Capture recognizes the card unde DEVICES top left side of the Image Capture window.
BEFORE upgrading from one OS X to the next, check the websites for your third party software and hardware for compatibility.
Apple is not responsible for third party software and hardware used with your Mac.

    how can i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6? it could not activate....

    If your phone was previously hacked to unlock it, when you updated the hack was removed and it's re-locked to the original carrier.  The phone will now activate and operate only with that original carrier.

  • Cannon MP830 can't use the scanner function after upgrading to Mavericks.

    I have an Cannon MP830 and now I can't use the scanner function after upgrading to Mavericks.  Can someone help?

    There is no ICA driver for this model so you won't be able to use Image Capture or Preview. But there is a TWAIN scanner driver and the supporting MP Navigator application available for 10.8 from Canon, so you could try installing these and see if you can scan again.

    Favor the route via iTunes and local storage on the computer. MUCH faster than any cloudy backup, no matter the speed of your Internet connection. No network beats the speed of a hard drive. Just make sure there's enough room on the computer before you start, must contain all that's on the iGadget.

  • HT4859 how can i restore files from backup after i reset my ipod touch?

    I rebooted my ipod touch how can i restore my back up files

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Rebooting your device is not the same as restoring it, to restore a device go to settings > general > reset > erase all contents and settings. Once you do this you will then be given the option to restore it from a backup or as a new iPod.

  • How can I restore my contact list after updating it to iOS 7

    I have updated my iPhone 4s to io7 and all of a sudden my contact list got replaced by someone else contact list. How can i restore my contact list

    The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service regularly, most especially before any update/restore/etc
    If you have failed to sync your contacts, then they are very likely gone.
    You can try restoring from backup

  • Macbook 2012 Mid: Can't mount USB mass storage after upgrading to Mavericks

    Hi guys,
    I'm having big problems with USB mass storages. After upgrading to Mavericks my Mac doesn't see some USB storage devices (mostly USB sticks and Android phone's memory cards via USB. My external USB 3.0 hard disks work fine) at all even though the devices themselves (for example my Android phone) are clearly recognized according to the System Report. When I plug them in, they don't show up on my Finder or on Disk Utility.
    I've searched everywhere and it seems like some other people are having the same problem, none seems to offer a definite solution. I've even formatted my HD and reinstalled Mavericks from the recovery partition. Now it mounts a USB stick that was in one of the USB ports at the time of installation but still doesn't read anything else! The funny thing is when I boot into Windows 8 on my Boot Camp partition, I can mount any USB devices including the USB stick and the Android phone I'm having problems on Mavericks without any problems. I can even see then when I boot into the recovery so there's clearly something wrong with Mavericks.
    Any chance someone has figured out a solution for this? Apple should've address this long time ago.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem? Note: If the devices are not in Mac OS X format, they normally won't mount in safe mode, but they should appear in Disk Utility.
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • How can I restore my old photos after a recovery if not backed up through itunes or icloud

    Here's the story. I dropped my phone in a swimming pool. It did not start at first. I layed the phone in a bag of uncooked rice and after 5 days it seemed like it was going to startup again. However something was wrong with teh battery so we ordered a new battery. The phone started up with the new battery but it wanted to go into that recovery mode. I did go through the backup procedure in iTunes and then recovery. The phone is now starting up fine but it is blank from apps and photos like a new phone. I did not have any photos backed up over iCloud before this happened. However shouldn't the photos still be on teh memory card of the phone? I thought the recovery process just resets the phone to factory standard, not deleting my photos. How can I get my old photos out of the phone? They are not in the DCIM when I log on through Windows explorer as well.

    What a crappy design. This is where Android is so much better. It seems to me like you have no control over your iPhone. It does whatever Apple has designed it to do without asking you first. On Android you can actually go in see all folders, document files, photo files etc and you have so much more control of everything. Apple s..cks!

  • How can I restore my ringtones files after an iTune software update?

    This has really upset me but I can't find anyone to help. If you can, it would be greatly appreciated.
    I have create a bunch of ringtones and they have been showing up fine on my iTune and synced to my iPhone without any problem. Recently, i have replaced my iPhone. One time the iTune asked me to relocate the library file when i started the application. Then I chose the latest library file in my system. After i did it, I realized that the ringtones are not on my iPhone anymore and they are all gone on my iTune.
    I tried to go in to the Windows files and look for those ringtone files but i have no clue where they are and how to identify them.
    How can i check if they might be hidden somewhere or they have been lost mysteriously?

    Hi cor-el,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I had been to that page during my search for solutions but found it a bit confusing, although I did create a new profile but didn't understand the choose folder part.
    I re-read the instructions and I have been able to restore my old profile.
    So, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
    Re: running my Firefox from a non-administrator account
    I think this may have been the cause of the profile problem.
    I.e. when I selected 'Choose a folder' when creating the new profile, the default folder path was Administrator> etc., where as my old profile was not there, but in Username> etc. folder path...
    I understand browsing from a non-administrator account is the sensible security option, but is causes other problems when installing updates...
    Thanks for the help. It's much appreciated.

  • How can I restore my settings, etc. after update to Firefox 20 reset everything?

    Windows 7 Starter, Firefox 20; running from non-administrator account (possibly the cause of issues):
    I updated to Firefox 20, and everything was reset (i.e. homepage, bookmarks, passwords, addons).
    I searched online for solutions but it hasn't helped me (i.e. Profile Manager).
    I located the profiles folder, and it contains one folder called: shunltlp.default
    the folder seems to have all the necessary files, e.g. bookmarks, key3, etc.
    How can I get Firefox to use these files, and restore my settings, etc.?
    Thanks,
    Davoid.

  • HT4623 Can I use lightning SD camera card reader after upgrading my iPad 4 to iOS. 7?

    Hi! All,
    I am using lightning SD camera reader with my iPad 4 running with iOS 6 without any problem. But I would like to upgrade to iOS 7. I saw some reviews
    after upgrading the card reader is not working. I contacted apple support community people for the above issue recently through chat. They said the device should work even after upgrading. I have not yet upgraded. But iOS 7 is tempting with its amazing look. What do I do? If I upgrade and my SD card reader wont work then I will be in great disapppointment. Please help if any body has answer for my problem..

    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.

  • How can I restore from icloud backup after activating replacement phone as new

    I activated a replacement iphone 5. When I tried to restore from my iCloud backup, it said the os of the backup was not compatible with the replacement phone os so I chose the option to activate as a new phone. (Old phone was on 7 - replacement phone was sent to me with an earlier os).
    Is there any way to restore my settings from my last iCloud backup?

    Yeah - guess you're right. It just took me hours to figure out what to do/not do. New to iphones and never had to restore before. Maybe Apple could at least include the very simple instructions wjosten  posted. Would have saved me a lot of stress and time....
    Apple does provide instructions.
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    Note that iTunes and iOS do not support installing backups of newer versions of iOS onto devices using earlier versions of iOS.
    iOS: Unable to restore from backup of a newer device
    Symptoms
    When restoring an iOS backup to a iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that is not using the latest version of iOS, you may see the following behavior:
    You cannot see or select the most recent backup from the list of available backups in iTunes or iCloud.
    iTunes displays the alert "The backup [name] cannot be restored to this [iOS device] because the software on the [iOS device] is too old."
    iTunes displays the alert "No backups available."
    Resolution
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS to be able to restore the backup.

  • How can I get audiobook chapters back after upgrading i Tunes and i Pad? I onlynave maprmparts of the book now.

    How can I retrieve individual chapters from an audio book after upgrading my i Pad 2. I now only jave the majormpart pf the bookmthat I had purchased via i Tunes.

    I had saved my photos on my WD My passport but I think it was only saved like a preview.
    We need to know more, to be able to understand what you have done.
    How did you save your images to the external drive? Did you copy your Aperture library there?
    Is your Aperture library referenced or managed - did you store the original image files outside the Aperture library or are they included in your Aperture library?  If you have referenced images, did you back them up too?
    The error message you are seeing, shows that Aperture cannot find the original image file. That is indicated by the yellow warning badge with the arrow.
    If your Aperture library is referenced, you need to restore your backed up original image files as well from their backup, and then use the the command "File > Locate Referenced Files" to reconnect the image versions with the missing original files.  Do you have a backup of the originals? If you cannot restore your referenced originals, you can turn your previews into new originals; post back, if you need help with that.
    If your Aperture library is managed, and all your originals are included inside your Aperture library, try if the Aperture Library First Aid Tools can fix this:
    Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
    Check if the "Masters" folder inside your Aperture Library contains any image files: Crtl-click the Aperture library and use "Show Package Contents". Are the missing original image files inside?

  • Help, I'm in tears - How do I restore my iPhone settings after upgrading iOS.

    Hi, I really hope you guys can help. I have a 3GS, and in preparation of getting the 5, I decided to upgrade the iOS from version 4.3.1 that it was using, to the latest. For some reason, it treated it like a new iPhone - which it isn't - and it's subsequently wiped all of my photos, apps (which I've managed to get most back) and over 10 years' worth of phone numbers and contacts.
    I'm in tears because I've lost everything and have no idea what I've done or how to fix it. Please help! How can I fix it?

    Thanks to you both. It gave me the option to either treat it as a new iPhone or to backup from iPad. This was on a Mac Mini which I've started using; I have an old laptop that I used to use, so I could use that to back up. I had assumed that it was all the one and the same. Will try that. Thanks.
