HT5172 My new Macbook Pro doesn't recognize my card reader (with a CF card inserted).

My new Macbook Pro doesn't recognize my USB card reader with a CF card inserted.  It works fine on my old Macbook Pro.
Do I need a new card reader?  USB 3 perhaps?
I would appreciate any input that you may have.  Thank you.

Hi, closereaching. Instead of spending 12 hours reinstalling your operating system and getting everything back up to date again, which probably won't accomplish anything, why not buy a $10 USB card reader for your Casio's SD card? Or (more expensive, but a much more elegant solution), an ExpressCard SD card reader that can stay in your computer all the time?

  • New MacBook Pro doesn't recognize camera

    I just upgraded from my old G4 PowerBook (with iLife 08) to a new MacBook Pro (with iLife 09). I have two cameras, a Nikon D60 and a Casio Exilim Z850. The new MacBook Pro and iPhoto 09 have no problem recognizing the D60... however, the Casio isn't recognized by the new computer/software; all I get is the infinite spinning beachball. My old G4 PowerBook / iPhoto 08 still recognizes the Casio just fine... however, I'm not planning on keeping the G4 PowerBook for much longer; the MacBook Pro was intended to be a replacement. Now I'm just trying to figure out if there's any way to get the new computer to communicate with the Casio. Granted, the D60 is a much nicer camera... but sometimes all you need is a good point-and-shoot that fits easily in your pocket, so I'd like to be able to keep the Z850 if I can find a way to get the new computer to recognize it. Any thoughts?

  • New Macbook pro doesn't recognize Iphone

    Hello,
    Just installed my new MacBookPro. I synchronized it with my old MacBook. Everything is in my new MacBook. However. When I connect my Iphone 4s to my new computer, Itunes doesn't recognize it. There is no 'resource'. Can anybody help me?

    You'll need to ask for help in the iTunes forum. They can provide the specific Apple document that walks you through what to do if the phone is not recognized by the computer.

  • New macbook pro doesn't recognize OS X on old iMac

    finally got a new macbook pro to replace very old imac. trying to transfer info/files from old to new but when I follow instructions I get a message saying that OS X is not found on the old imac and therefore files cannot be transferred. but it's there, I use it every day. aargh! any suggestions?

    Well. Depending how old the iMac actually is, it may not actually be running OSX on it. Then again, I don't know much history about apple as my MBP is the first one I've ever owned.

  • Brand new MacBook Pro doesn't get past grey screen (with spinning gear)

    Hello,
    I'm a new Apple customer - I bought a new 15" MacBook Pro during the Black Friday sale last week. Since purchase, I've installed the software I needed (Office, CS4) and have used it to browse the web and write emails.
    Today when I tried to use it, I simply got to the grey screen with the Apple logo on it and the spinning gear device underneath - got absolutely no further.
    I have done the following (running from mains adaptor - but the battery indicator is reporting 7 lights anyhow):
    1. Boot from the OSX Install Disc, and run the disc repair utility. It reported no problems found. Restarted... same problem.
    2. Boot holding down SHIFT to go into safe mode. Underneath the spinning gears, a progress bar filled up to 100% and then disappeared; leaving the grey screen, logo, and spinning gears. Nothing further.
    3. Boot holding Option, P, R as per the manual to reset the PRAM. According to the manual there should have been a chime/beep - there wasn't. It just sits on the grey screen, logo, spinning gears. Nothing further.
    Right now I've got a £1300 MacBook Pro less than a week old and it appears to have just packed up.
    Am I missing anything here, or should I just return it?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Definitely take it back!
    My friend bought a new iMac from the Regents St. store a few weeks ago, just before the update to the new models came out, and after a week she couldn't get it to boot. I felt very embarrassed as I had persuaded to her to switch to Mac after years of PC woes, so a broken mac after a week didn't look do me any favours. The genius guys didn't mess around, they took back the dead one and gave her a new one, this time she got the new version, they also threw in iWork free as a good will gesture. New one is running fine.
    If you haven't already got Applecare, I highly recommend buying it within the next 12 months. I have needed it on a couple of occasions after the standard warranty ran out and the tech support has been brilliant, got me working again no quibbles.

  • Macbook pro doesn't recognize camera on image capture

    My MacBook Pro doesn't recognize the built-in camera for a lot of my applications, including Image Capture. It doesn't show up anywhere in my system preferences. Any idea why this is so?

    (1)  Mac's built-in camera does not work with Image Capture.
    Image Capture works with external devices like scanners, some iOS devices, some cameras and RAM cards, etc.  Click this link for more info about Image capture and some of the apps that can work with your inbuilt camera.
    Click here for info about how to use Image Capture to transfer images from a connected external camera.
    For more info about Image Capture functions, see Image Capture > Help on your Mac or the Apple pages in this link.
    (2) To test for application-specific problems mentioned in the "How to Troubleshoot iSight " article, use apps like Photo Booth, QuickTime Player, iChat, FaceTime, or others intended to work with your Mac's inbuilt camera.
    (3) To test for user-specific problems mentioned in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 the "How to Troubleshoot iSight " article, you must have more than one user account.  Do NOT use the "Guest" account.  Click this link if you need help creating new accounts for testing.

  • Macbook Pro doesn't recognize iPhone 4Gs

    Macbook Pro doesn't recognize my iPhone 4Gs
    My Macbook Pro 15 (Mac OS X 10.6.8) doesn't recognize my iPhone 4Gs (iOS5.1)
    Suddenly it stopped, last time was April 11 via Wi-Fi.
    Now even with the device plugged it can't be recognized.
    On iPhone Settings, the "iTunes Wi-Fi Sync" tab is grayed.
    Few days ago iPhone started to behave strangely, refusing to power off, sometimes not charging when plugged to USB port, sometimes does.
    Don't know what to do.
    Thanks in advance
    best

    What kind of phone is this? an iphone 4? or an iphone 4S? ( note there is no such phone as an iPhone 4gS)
    What you describe here is in my eyes the beginning signs of accidental damge, such as water damge of some sort.
    This is a great oppurtunity to see if the same issues you are having when connecting to your computer, replicate when conencted to another computer.
    You need to find out if there is a way to test with a new USB cord if possible to rule that out.
    Trying to isolate this to, or away from the iphone.

  • Macbook Pro doesn't recognize audio cd's after Yosemite upgrade

    After completing the upgrade to Yosemite, my Macbook Pro doesn't recognize purchased audio cd's.  Help!!

    hi russeel!
    when i first upgraded to 5.0.1.4 i panicked for a while looking for that tab (and the Burning one) ... the subtab that i find kind of strange is "Advanced-General". Generally Advanced? Not Tremendously Advanced?
    okay, we've gone up a
    b lot
    of versions in your case (nearly as many as it is possible to go), so we'd probably better check through some of the usual suspects. let's start off with this document:

  • Macbook Pro doesn't recognize Flip Mino camera in USB port after Yosemite upgrade

    Since I upgraded to Yosemite, my Macbook Pro doesn't recognize my Flip Mino camera in the USB port.

    I don't use FLIP, but if you get no other help here,
    consider the following ideas.
    If neither restarting your Mac
    nor reinstalling OS X fixes your
    problem, you might find some
    help if you search or post in the
    CISCO forum where Flip users post.

  • Macbook pro doesn't recognize internal speakers

    my macbook pro  doesn't recognize internal speakers and there is a red light inside the headphone port.  How can I get the speakers working again?

    In addition to what dominc23 suggests, you may try jiggling a toothpick or cocktail stirrer in order to trip the internal switch.  If all fails, the Apple store genius bar is you last resort.

  • Setting privacy pane to always block cookies on my brand new MacBook pro doesn't seem to work

    Setting privacy pane in Safari to always block cookies on my brand new MacBook pro doesn't seem to work. None of the settings seem to make any difference. What gives?

    Are you not able to start aperture on your old macbook? If you are able to then you can retrieve your serial number by clicking on 'about aperture'
    If not then it's a call to apple as the above posts suggest. I did when I lost mine, bear in mind though, they may ask for your original receipt as they did with me and I had to fax it.

  • I have just purchased the new macbook pro 15" and see that it comes with 2 discs in the box, one being Mac OS X and the other being Applications Install DVD. Are these pre installed? or do I need to insert the discs and install them?

    All has been installed. Those are there in case you need to do a reinstall. Unlike most Windows based hardware vendors these days. Apple still ships software you might need in case a drive fails. Even in the case of the new MacBook Air, Apple ships the software on a flash drive.

  • New MacBook Pro doesn't recognise external Freecom HHD

    Just got myself a brand spanking new 15” MacBook Pro with the i7 processor running (obviously) OS X 10.6.3.
    My problem is the machine does not recognise my Feecom 400GB external hard drive (USB). Doesn’t show up in finder or under disk utility. And of course it’s the drive with all my itunes stuff on it.
    Strange thing is the drive shows up fine on my black 2008 MacBook (also running 10.6.4) and my old Powerbook, as well as on another PC.
    Any ideas what I could try/could be wrong? The new MacBook Pro does recognise some other external usb hard drives I have.
    Cheers,
    Reb

    I would try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk instead of just a verify. A verify doesn't do anything and may not report all issues.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
    After that Repair Permissions.
    No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.

  • Macbook Pro doesn't recognize DVD

    My MacBook Pro doesn't read some DVD's! I'm trying to install my camera's software, but the drive doesn't read the DVD! It just make some odd noises and then ejects the disc. However, it can still read discs I burned on my other Mac and it recognizes blank CD's and DVD's! Is anyone going through the same issue?

    It's the DVD for Mac. And I'm having the same problem with other DVDs. The drive just recognize blank discs and discs burned on other macs.

  • My new Macbook Pro will not recognize my iphone in itunes...

    I just bought a new Macbook Pro and was able to get all my files and such from my old computer, which was a Macbook about 4 years old. But the problem now is that when I plug in my iphone to the new computer it will not recognize the phone in my itunes. I authorized the computer for my itunes account and everything is updated I'm pretty sure... so how can I get my new computer to "accept" my iphone?

    You can post in the iPhone forums:

    They handle that issue on a daily basis.
