HT204384 Force Eject for iMac SD Card Slot?

I put my SD Card I use in my Canon Powershot into the slot on my iMac. There was no resistance as I put it in and nothing happened. Now I can't remove it. Is there a force eject for this slot / reader?

According the pictures I've seen, I don't think so, but most problems are user error. I obviously did something wrong. I am new to macs. Come from the pc world.

What are these keys for? + SIM card slot?

Hello,
I just bought a T410i and am wondering what the keys next to the arrow buttons are? They look like "Files".
Also has anyone used the SIM card slot under the battery?
Will it read cell phone SIM cards?
Thanks,
Xinerama

Hi and welcome to the forum Xinerama!
The SIM will work if you've WWAN card and data plan from your carrier.
Hope this helps.

Forced restart for iMac

Whenever i'm using garageband, my iMac suddenly decides to force me to restart. A "curtain" drops and does not let me click on anything. (here is a picture of the dialogue box i get: http://i44.tinypic.com/2n1gvf4.jpg) Is anyone else having this problem and do you have any solutions? I'm afraid the forced shutdowns are harmful to my computer.

That is a Kernel Panic > "You need to restart your computer" (kernel panic) message appears (Mac OS X v10.5, 10.6)
For more info on what might be the problem, see > Resolving Kernel Panics

Question about Memory Upgrade for iMac G3/350 - Slot Loading

I was thinking of upgrading my memory and found this on eBay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350070149602
The auction says that it won't work in an apple computer but it looks like it should. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
James S.

I agree with Richard; if the seller says it won't work in a Mac, why bother? It's likely to be hi-density, which either won;t work or will show up in a Mac as only half its true size.
I've been hanging around these forums for nearly seven years and have seen a lot of tears shed over alleged Mac RAM bought on eBay. Your mileage may vary, but I get RAM for our 13 Macs for online venders who are Mac-savvy. They all work.

Swap PC Card Slot on T61P?

When I ordered my T61p I made the mistake of ordering the wrong option for the PC Card Slot. I accidentally ordered the Smart Card Slot instead of the Media Card Slot.
1. Is this swappable by me?
2. If yes, does anyone know the part # for the Media Card Slot and/or is it multiple parts?
I got a PCI-e 3G Card and I can't use it until I remedy this.
If a Lenovo Moderator knows the answer or anyone else in this forum I sure would be grateful for the help!
Cheers,
JIM

If you go to this Lenovo webpage, download your 14.1" or 15.4" Hardware Maintenance Manual.
In there you should find the proper part number.

HT204384 What are GT/s?- "Computers that use the PCIe bus express their speed as GT/s"? and what else is the card slot used for?

If I understand correctly the card slot on the Macbook Pro is for flash memory? Can it be used for anything else?

Read http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3553?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
for information on the card slot.
GT/s is gigatransfer per second. It takes into account the overhead of the PCIe bus.

What is the best way to shut down an iMac that has frozen during a data transfer? The disk I was writing to will not eject. Stopping "copy items to" doesn't work either_ it is frozen as well. Is there a way to force eject the disk so I can shut down?

Some more information on the above: OS: 7.2
1. None of the shutdown commands would work so I held the power button down and received a prompt that asked if I wished to force eject the drive, I selected
the force eject and then shut down.
2. Just recently I installed an eSATA _ Thunderbolt_ port multiplier compliant PCIe card (Seritek Q6G) into a thunderbolt external chassis (OWC Helios) (seritek Q6G).
This freeze data transfer also happened when I connected a Firmtek 5PM external tower to the iMac via thunderbolt cable.
The driver for the seritek Q6G was installed in the iMac previous to connection of any of the devices.
Both external towers mount ok on the iMac but have frozen during data transfer.
The initial freeze was with the Firmtek 5PM which is (JBOD)_ I thought that might have had something to do with the freeze_ it being JBOD_ so next I tried the Mercury Elite AL Pro Q2- which is formated in RAID 5. But then froze too.
Anybody have any experience with this?
Maybe I need another driver?
Or maybe some update to my OS?
Any suggestions welcomed.
Thank you

Hello BDAqua, thanx for the suggestions. Before I saw this reply I tried to first quit the finder and then to relaunch the Finder but that resulted was a blank gray screen.
In the end I ended up having to power down the iMac.
Fortunately the RAID array that was "active" seems to be fine and also has a firewire 800 connection so I can use it_ just not with thunderbolt until this issue is solved.
I'm going to check in the Applications>Utilities>system log to see if any clues are evident_ thank you for the suggestion.
PS: Nothing of note was obvious as a root cause in the Activity Monitor though.
hmmm....I was told that the Helios and seritek card were compatable and that the Helios didn't require any drivers..it will be a drag if there isn't an easy fix for this since this new PCIe card from seritek is the first to offer port multiplier compatibility for eSATA to thunderbolt...since they are both new I'm hoping that an OS upgrade will be the fix (presently7.2)...we shall see.

IPhoto won't recognize SD card placed directly into my iMac's SD slot.

iPhoto won't recognize SD card placed directly into my iMac's SD slot. Image Capture shows the name of the SD card but does not show any photos. If I use the Finder I can see all of the photos on the sd card so I know they are there. I've previously imported lots of photos from teh SD slot directly into iPhoto. Tried a second SD card with the same issue.
Any ideas? Thanks for the help
Using iPhoto 8.1.2
Mac OS 10.6.8

Make a temporary, backup copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
any tips on how to recover those lost photos?
If you don't recover the photos with the above you'll need to run a recovery app like MediaRECOVER to recover the photos from the memory card.

2009 iMac has no SD card slot?

I havelooked everywhere and cannot find an SD card slot. I've looked it up and saw that the 2009 iMac should have one on thwe side, but mine does not?

Well, the late 2009 does have one:

the early 2009 does not:

In your case, simply buy a USB card reader and you can use one of your USB ports for it.

When did imac ship with media card slot?

it's pretty stupid that i just noticed but my imac doesn't have sd card slot. i wouldn't even have noticed but read something today that apple started shipping in september. is this true? recommendations for good quality external reader? i purchased the imac in december of 2009.
Message was edited by: Robert Wilkins2

The SD readers are built in when the iMacs were updated with 21.5" or 27" displays.
As for a card reader, there pretty simple devices, I bought a cheap USB one off eBay for about £1, it works fine. Quite compact as it's not a box but looks similar to a chunky USB memory stick which you slide your SD card into the end of.

PC Card slot unusable after ejecting device

I use my TiBook's PC Card slot for a Linksys wireless G card, and a SanDisk compact flash card reader. For the past few days, OS X only recognizes the device that is in place when the system is started (cold start or restart). When I eject the device and swap in the other one, or even put the initial device back in, it is not usable. The PC Card menu icon appears, and clicking on it shows that the device is being properly identified (Broadcom 802.11 or SanDisk blah blah depending on the device) but OS X won't let me use it. In the case of the wireless card, Internet Connect says "no airport hardware detected". In the case of the compact flash card, it doesn't mount or show up in Disk Utility.
Any advice?

Now, when I connect the card on PC Card slot, nothing happen. I tryed a Encore Ethernet Adapter and had the same status. In logs (system.log, or others in /var/log) nothing about, no errors, no warnings, no info, PC Card Slot is completly dead.
I tryed reinstall Tiger and Panther in other partition, because this card used work in those version, but, now CardBus doesn´t work anymore.
I tryed this card in another Powerbook G4 Aluminium running 10.4.11, and it works fine and system.log shows when it are connect or disconnect.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
Welcome to the Apple Boards:
Two things:
First, click on the little apple logo, top left whilst holding down the Option key and select System Profiler.
Check the POST diagnostic and also the other hardware. See if anything shows up
Secondly, zap our PRAM and see if that helps.

I bought an iphone sprint carrier on ebay but i want to know if the phone is going to work for an international carrier movistar which is gsm due to the phone does have a sim card slot , what do i need to do ?

help me how can i get my phone to work in movistar which is my carrier in ecuador gsm . sprint iphones does have sim card slot but i'm not sure if it will work for gsm what do i need to do , how do i unlock it

IF the phone was unlocked by Sprint for international use, it will work on any compatible (non U.S.) GSM carrier.
If it was NOT unlocked before you acquired it, you will need to move to the US and establish service with Sprint, then wait the minimum amount of time specified by their policy before they will agree to unlock it for you.
If you are not a Sprint customer, you bought the wrong phone.

Max capacity for sd card slot Mac Mini mid 2010

Has anyone with a MAC Mini mid 2010 tried using the SD card slot for an extended drive? I'm wondering what the max size is for the slot, and if I put a 64-128 gig SD Card in, would OS X 10.8.2 be able to combine that with an internal HD to create a "fusion drive"?

Your Mid 2010 Mac mini doesn't support SDXC, so you can't use this type of cards. Fusion Drive needs an SSD and a hard drive on the same Mac mini, so an SD won't work with this
