HP Photosmart 8450 media card port

The message window says that the media card is in upside down,please remove and re-insert.  I think someone has jammed a smaller card into the Smartmedia port but I can't see it much less get to it with tweezers .  Can I open up the access panel and try to retreive the card?  

Hi @Teammomaz , and welcome to the HP Forums.
I see you're having issues with the memory card port. I'd like to help get this taken care of.
There is no access panel to take apart the port.  If it appears there's a jam in there, I'd suggest giving us a call.

  • HP Photosmart 7450 printer media cards

    The manual for this printer says I can use any standard media card. I have a XD picture card which is supported but what does HP mean by STANDARD. They don't specify what memory capacity is standard for any of the supported media cards. I'm trying to use a 1GB XD picture card and I get an error. A 512MB works fine.

    Hi rlong86
    Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Try installing with new cartridges - if this solves the problem then it's a cartridge issue and you can then contact HP Phone Support (you can first check if the first set of cartridges are still within warranty by checking the warranty ends date http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00206040&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_US... )
    Please let me know how you get on
    All the best, Ciara

  • I have moved my iPhoto to an external hard drive. so now I have to have the external hard drive connected to my laptop to view the photos.  Now when I want to import photos into iPhoto from my media card, I don't have room to connect both devices.

    I have moved my iPhoto to an external hard drive. so now I have to have the external hard drive connected to my laptop to view the photos.  Now when I want to import photos into iPhoto from my media card, I don't have room to connect both devices at the same time as the usb ports are side by side.  How do I import my photos from the media card to the external hard drive now?

    First transfer the photos to a folder on your MacBook using Image Capture in your Utilities folder. Then move them to iPhoto.
    BTW, you might want to invest in a cheap USB hub.

  • Issue regarding media card since upgrading to v6

    Hello,
    I am experiencing a couple of problems with my device since the last prompted OS upgrade:
    1. When I plug the device into a USB port on my PC, it successfully begins charging but I do not receive the familiar "USB Drive / Sync Media / Charge Only" selection prompt. Furthermore, the device isn't being recognized as a peripheral by my PC and, as such, I cannot access its data.
    Note: I have enabled "Media Card Support" in Options -> Device -> Storage
    2. When I send someone a voice note using BBM's "Send -> Voice Note" option, it no longer appears to save the voice note in the voice note collection in the Media section as it used to do.
    I assume these two problems stem from the same issue, but I can't imagine what it may be, and looking around the forums / Google has produced nothing useful.
    Appreciate any and all assistance.
    Yours,
    JT

    Desperate bump.

  • USB and Media Card Reader disabled after installing DM

    I installed the DM 4.3 from the CD tonight. Hooked up the BB and everything worked fine. Loaded some music onto the media card and downloaded some pictures. Then I unhooked to see if the music was on the Blackberry, when I hooed it back up, it wouldn't recognize. I tried a few times, then uninstalled the software, re-installed, still nothing, then un-installed and downloaded 4.7 and installed, still nothing, now my computer doesn't recognize ANY USB ports (web-cam, Media Center Remote) and none of the Media Card reader drives are visible in My Computer. When I insert the SD card from my camera, nothing. I uninstalled 4.7 and still nothing. Now I'm worried..
    Please tell me that I don't have to wipe the whole computer and start again.. Please!!

  • Media card reader not working

     Hi:
    I have a Compaq  Perserio A900 running Vista
    My built in media card reader has stopped recognizing my cards when I put them it.  Usually a green lite will light up on the card and then the auto run will pop up, but not nothing.
    The only thing I've done recently was install a sandisk ultra backup 16gig flash drive hardware and I use the flash drive in the USB port that is just above the card reader.
    I also have 2 other USB ports on the right side of the computer.  I was going to use on of them for the flash drive, but they seem to be dead or something.  I tried to plug my iphone into them and they do nothing, it doesn't charge or anything.
    Do each USB's have to be dedicated to a particular pariphial?
    I guess I can live with one USB working but I certainly need my card reader to work.
    Help would be appreciated.

    It depends on the installed Card Reader.

  • Vw media-in port does not charge my ipod classic

    vw golf 7 media-in port does not charge my iPod classic.

    Check this article for some things to look at:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61711
    Also, I think the 5th gen has different tech specs than the nano, so while the nano may work on a lower powered USB port, the ipod 5th gen may not.
    I would pay special attention to the following specs:
    PC with USB port or card (USB 2.0 recommended)
    Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4 or later, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
    To view your USB's, right click on "My Computer" (either the icon on your desktop or under your windows start bar) then left click on "Manage." In the window that comes up open your device manager. In your device manager, look at you Universal Serial Bus Controllers.
    What you are looking for: USB2, USB2.0, high-speed, enhanced, high-powered. If you see one of these you should be able to use your 5th gen on it just fine. Try switching USB ports to see which one is your 2.0. If you have a USB port on the front of your computer these are often not 2.0, and you want to try using one on the back of the tower.

  • Photosmart 8450 prints are distorted

    My Photosmart 8450 has started distorting the image on the photos and the cradle keeps jamming.  Also, the edges of the photos are wavy.  Has anyone else experienced these problems?  If so, are they repairable?

    I got things to print propely when using a memory card (!) I must be 'old fashioned' for trying to print from desktop via cable.
    I went from:
    http://www.fractalfreak.com/wx/c310_1.jpg
    Where every image printed too dark, despite modiftying the printer properties from hp solution center (paper type, color management, max dpi,, etc.). Always printed too dark. The middle image, which printer properly, was a test print made during the end of installing the printer software.
    I then transferred some images to a 1GB sd memory card. Images printed via memory card look good. Apparently that's why printer does not include a USB cable - you're intended to print from memory card. Windows XP interface to printer buggy. Also, .png and .bmp (lossless) file formats not recogized by printer - only jpg ??
    Printed from memory card image brightness looks good (matches test image finally)

    Akeva62, welcome to the forum.
    The front cover, just below the red line in the photo, that has the HP logo should slide down.  Once it is down it should reveal the card reader.  I know that is the way my HP Envy Phoenix works.

  • HOW CAN I GET MY DATA BACK ON MEDIA CARD AFTER WIPING DEVICE

    please help, i wiped my device clean then did a back up and everything was back except the things i had on my media card. how do i get it back?

    When  you wiped your device, there is an option which you must check in order to wipe your Media card, did you have that checked or unchecked?
    I am afraid that the Media Card in included in the backup of the device memory.

  • Panasonic HDC-SD100 media card unable to capture on Final Cut Express 4

    No problems at all with transfer to i-movie but just purchased final cut express 4 and problems with capturing from the media card. Signal system on camera is 1080/50i. Have tried setting HD and 1080/50i in the easy set up but no joy. Have tried log and transfer and see clips but on transfer message states no data. Can anyone help with the settings please?
    Many thanks in advance

    Welcome to the forum!
    There are many things that could cause this, and almost all have been discussed.
    Some things to try:
    • In the Log and Transfer window, click the preferences button (the gear in the upper right). Make sure audio is set to *Plain Stereo*
    • Also in that preferences window, click the button to *Clear the Cache*
    Also, what drive are you using to capture to (internal or external)? How is it formatted, and how much space is left on that drive?

  • Hp pavilion dv4-1123us Media Card won't read

    I have a hp Pavilion dv4-1123us laptop that won't read a 16 GB SDHC media card. The card works in my PC, so the card is good. I have a Scandisk 5-1 media reader hooked to my home PC that would not read it but I found through Scandisk site I needed to download the latest Firmware which I did and now the card works on my PC. The reader has always and still does read a 512 MB and a 2 GB XD cards on my laptop. I am running XP Pro OS.
    I have searched the HP site for driver downloads but only see them for Windows 7 and 8 not XP.
    Can someone help me on this?

    Hello wgray826,
    You’re having a problem not being able to read a 16GB SDHC card.
    I think that your computer does not support the SDHC card.
    Here is a link to your user guide and what cards it supports.
    I noticed that it shows the Secure Digital but not the Secure Digital High Capacity.
    Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
    Let me know how everything goes.
    Have a good day.

  • Cannot copy file from desktop to media card

    Whenever I try to copy a file from my desktop to my media card I get an error. When I use the desktop manager software I get the message 'one or more files cannot be copied: FILE_NAME'. When I use Windows Explorer to try the same thing I get the message 'Cannot copy FILE_NAME: parameter is incorrect'.
    I do have a proper connection from the desktop to the blackberry because I can open files on the media card and update them. I just have the problem copying the files.
    I have been able to copy the files from the desktop to the device memory. Then move it from the device memory to the media card. But there should be no difference between the device memory and the media card.
    Note: The file I am trying to copy is a data file (.PDF). While I was having the same problem with music files, I found if I went into advanced parameters from desktop manager and specified the audio file type & bitrate I was able to copy the music file without errors.
    I have a blackberry curve 8300
    16GB media card

    When I try to move the files from the Finder Window with the files on the DVD, I do not get the plus sign when I try to drag it to the desktop or any other window. Even when I try with the option key pressed, there is no plus sign with the mouse arrow. Someone suggested to use the terminal and I did. It was a hassle, though.
