IMac 27inch built in SD slot not detecting

Recently, I wanted to use my SD slot to upload pictures from my camera. It has been working fine before and now all of sudden it doesn't read the card at all once I put in the built in slot on the side. At first I thought it was the SD card but when I plugged it to the usb with an all in one card reader it was able to detect the card and pictures. I was wondering if anyone also had the same problem with their SD slot not working on the side. It won't even show anything at all when I use it. Is the SD slot not working?
Thanks.

thanks for your input, but please read the original post.
SDHC cards also work and there are images on the card. As I mentioned in the original post, it was working normally before the update. After the update, the card is only recognized when using a 3rd party USB card reader. A subsequent post also stated the SMC reset did not work. Disk Utility sees the card in the built in card slot but will not mount it and gives the status as 'Read Only'. Is there a way to upload screenshots so you can see what I mean?
if anyone from apple is here I can send you whatever logs you need.

  • New 27" iMac ejecting external hard drive and not detecting it consistently

    I purchased my iMac from Best Buy two days ago and am wondering if I have a lemon. During the process of transferring files via an external hard drive I have noticed a number of issues. My old 2007 iMac had no problem reading the drive but my new iMac keeps ejecting the disk every couple of minutes. I will get a message in the corner of my computer stating that it was not ejected properly.
    At one point, the new iMac would not read the drive at all. I plugged in my iPhone and it detected it at first but eventually ejected it and would not detect it again either, not even to charge it. I restarted the computer and it started detecting the iPhone and the external the drive, but now I am back to getting the same error message. I have tried to repair the disk using disk utility and it does not detect any problems. I also tried using every single usb port.
    I would appreciate any suggestions and will be taking it back if it keeps having issues.

  • IMac OSX 10.6.8 will not detect HP Officejet 6500 E709n series wireless printer

    I had my iMac OS 10.6.8 unplugged for a week and just hooked it back up today and for some reason HP Officejet 6500 E709n Series wireless printer cannot be detected. I have tried everything... AppleCare could not help... they said to install the HP software off HP's site... I did but my computer will not recognize the printer in default printers. I have tried talking to HP Support and they mentioned something about DDS corruption but do not want to pay $99 for that to most likely not be the reason. I have tried calling Verizon because AppleCare said it was a network issue and then Verizon said it was a software issue.
    I even tried re-installing the printer with the USB cord plugged in the back so it could at least recognize the software, but once the printer was put back in the other room, it stopped working. It now says:
    Looking for printer...
    Canceling job
    Printer offline.
    There is also a yellow circle with a wavy line in the middle.
    This has never happened before. When I first hooked this machine up, it just picked up the printer and there were no issues.
    Sorry this is a little wordy but I am out of options on how to fix this... please help.
    Thank you.

  • Why does my macbook pro's built-in card reader not detect my SD card?

    I have a Macbook Pro 15-inch Retina (Late 2013) and it has a built-in card reader. My SD card was working perfectly with the reader some days back, however, now it has all of a sudden stopped working! The funny thing is that when I put the same SD card into an external card reader connected to the same macbook, it works perfectly. Also, strangely, my card reader still works perfectly well with another SD card I have.
    So, both the card reader and the SD card appear to be working separately, but why are they not working together?

    two things to try
    1. Reset SMC data. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
    2. Do not push the card(s) all the way into the slot . back it out a fraction 1/16-1/8 inch until it appears in finder/desktop/etc...

  • Presario CQ 71 - Built in Webcam not detected under Windows 7 Profession​al - No HP-101 device

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ 71 EB400. On this notebook I run both Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bits and  Windows  7 Professional 64-bits to compare behaviour of apps and windows features in both  environments.
    Windows 7 Home on  my  HD C partition
    Windows 7 Professional  on my HD F partition.
    The CQ 71 has a built in Webcam, that shows up under Windows 7 Home premium Device Manager - Imaging Devices  (Cameras and Scanners)  as HP-101, linked to the required drivers.
    Under Windows 7 Home premium:
    - The built-in CQ 71 Webcam is detected and operational - the HP-101 entry is present in Device Manager. 
    - Applications using a Webcam like Skype, Mycam, Manycom etc connect with the Webcam
    - When I  plug in an external Webcam,  thet webcam is detected as well, drivers loaded etc.
    Under Windows 7 Professional:
    - The built in Webcam is not detected, in the Device Manager -Imaging Devices, the HP-101 Webcam entry is absent
    - Skype, Mycam, Manycam cannot find a  Webcam (also not when an external USB Webcam is plugged in)
    - A plugged in external Web cam is not detected as an imaging device.
    I use a Brother printer/scanner/fax machine,  the Brother scanner device is visible as Imaging device in Device manager in both Windows 7 Home premium and Windows 7 Professional.
    Other USB devices, portable disks, card readers etc seem to work OK in both Windows 7 environments.
    The HP support pages provide information what to do when a internal Webcam is not detected; The recommended actions make no difference.  Going back to a  previous W7 Prof restore point is no option,  as on the CQ 71 notebook the built-in Webcam  never functioned under W7 Professional.
    The major difference is that all Windows 7 Home Premium relatede system software resides on the C partition, all Windows 7 Professional system software on the F partition.
    I'm looking for a way to kickstart the built in CQ 71 Webcam under Windows 7 Professional installed  on a non-standard partition.
    Your suggestions will be very welcome.
    Jan Dijckmeester.

    Hi again jdij,
    It is good to hear back from you!
    To enable your system to detect the Webcam in Windows 7, I recommend re-installing the original drivers and software that first came with your computer. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7). To update the newly installed software, please follow this resource on Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 7).
    If the webcam is still not detected, I recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7).
    Should the problem continue, I suggest performing a backup and recovery of your operating system. This can be done by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 7), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 7). This should return your system back to factory defaults.
    If the issue persists, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

  • Built in iSight Not Detected

    Hi,
    Having an issue with my MacBook Pro where in iMovie, I am not able to select my built in iSight as an input source to record with (Camera Not Detected). Photo Booth works fine, and the issue recurs in a clean account.
    I have no problem with this software on both my MacBook (2008) and iMac (2006), running the same OS version. I'm assuming this has something to do with the new hardware.
    Apple Support claims that the software is incompatible with Snow Leopard, but is working fine otherwise. Just wondering if anyone here has had the same problem and has been able to shed some light as to why this occurs/ how to fix it.
    Thanks!

    I do not have the problem and I cannot shed any light as to "why" you have the problem, but here are my best thoughts based on your info.
    I often use iM6HD for quick iSight clips on MacPro using the iSight built into my LED Cinema Display. iM6HD works as well with my MacBook Pro. Both run SL.
    I sometimes see strange color blinks in the preview window *before I begin to record*, but there is no problem while I am recording.
    My inbuilt iSights shows up in the camera selection button just as it did in previous Mac OSs.
    Have you selected "iSight" when you create your new movie project?
    Are you observing the prohibition against running another camera apps when you open iMovie?
      http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3095
    Have you restarted the Mac?
    I see you have tested in a "clean account". If that means a new user account, my only other thought would be whether a clean install of the OS with NO other software additions might give any insight?
    If nothing helps, you may be right that there is something special about the new hardware.
    If that is the case, why not capture your iSight video in SL's QuickTimeX? Then import the clip into whichever iMovie/editor you like for editing.

  • My imac will not detect external monitor after recent update. Is there a way to fix this?

    I have a VGA monitor plugged in to my imac using the VGA adapter to the mini-DVI.  All was working well.  Since I updated over the weekend, the computer will not detect the monitor.
    Any ideas how to fix this?

    Pcantin wrote:
    I have tried another VGA monitor and that failed as well.  Since you don't think the update was the cause, it may be that the adapter I am using decided to call it quits.  I will see if I can find another and test that out.
    I will look into the external drive idea as well.
    Thanks for your help on this.
    I didn't think about the adaptor, but you should at least visually inspect both the adaptor and the cable at both ends. If one or more pins got bent even slightly the connection might fail. The cables can also fail internally. Replacing the adaptor and cable may be the quickest thing to do initially. If you want to try to save money, first replace the adaptor, and if the problem persists, then go replace the cable (or vice versa).

  • My built-in webcam is not being detected by CyberLink Youcam

    My built-in webcam is not being detected by CyberLink Youcam (webcam) Pavilion dv6-6c10us

    Hello,
    I see that you're having an issue with the webcam in the notebook. If you could, please check and see if the webcam is listed in the device manager. If you don't know how to check for that, you can follow step 1. 
    Now, if you can't seem to find it listed in the device manager it could be that the webcam may have become unplugged internally and requires service. It could be a faulty webcam module which is not been recognized. I suspect you might have to send the Notebook in for a warranty repair to get it fixed. Now, if that's the case after following the steps below you will need to call HP@8004746836 and see what options they have to replace or repair the notebook. 
    Also, you can follow these steps to try and resolve the issue. 
    Steps:
    Please follow this document which will guide you through a couple of steps on how to resolve this issue you're having. 
    The document should something like this:
    First, try this steps that's circled. 
    If the first steps doesn't seem to resolve the issue go ahead and follow the next step below. 
    The first section "Video does not appear in your webcam software (such as YouCam, Skype, Messenger, etc.)" will guide you through a couple of trouble shooting steps to get the webcam to work within these programs. 
    If the first step doesn't resolve the issue please go to step #2 "Reinstalling the original webcam program that came with your computer”. This section will guide you through recovering the webcam software and drivers. This is the most important steps in the document if nothing before this resolves the issue. 
    It should look something like this:
    Once you have finished both steps please let me know the outcome. If you have any more questions please ask.

  • Imac does not detect external vga display

    Please help with connecting external vga display to an imac 21.5'', late 2012, OS X 10.8.5 via Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter.
    I have connected an external monitor (Fujitsu Siemens) to the thunderbolt port of the imac using a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter. The imac does not detect the external monitor. I have followed all instructions and suggestions I could find at Apple Support Communities without success.
    The monitor is in perfectly good working order as it has no problem connecting and performing flawlessly with a dell windows laptop. The imac, connected via the Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter to the D-Sub connector of a Samsung smart TV, also worked perfectly.
    To add insult to injury, occasionally, when restarting the iMac with the external vga display connected and powered on, the iMac screen starts intermittently turning blue for a brief second or so and resuming back to normal. The frequency of 'blueing' is once in 2-3 seconds. This particular rather disturbing problem, luckily ceases when the external display is switched off.
    Any advice and help with resolving the above connection problems will be gratefully appreciated.
    Thank you

    I am having the same issue.  Hope Apple can fix this soon!!!

  • PC not detecting printer connected to iMac

  • IMac 24" could not detect external monitor (early 2009 model)?

    I am trying to add a second monitor to my iMac through the mini Display port with a mini-Display to VGA convert cable, somehow my iMac could not detect the second monitor at all on the preference-display menu. After connected the cable and an external monitor I restarted iMac a few times, the external monitor still could not be detected.
    Any suggestions? Any simple method to test if the mini Display port is working properly? My iMac OSX 10.8.5
    Thanks
    David

    Hi,
    Just tried another miniDisplay - VGA cable, it works! No need to restart iMac. Immeditely I can bring display windows to the second monitor, say, a DVD movie play to the second monitor while working on the main iMac monitor for other tasks.

    You cannot copy or migrate Adobe applications from computer to computer. There are a whole host of files in different locations which have to be installed, and copying will not do it.

  • Built-In iSight NOT detected on my Windows XP!!

    My built-in iSight is not being detected in my windows when I want to video chat on AIM or skype. Under My Computer, there is nothing under Scanners and Cameras. But on the Mac OS X side of my OS, I can use iSight with iChat. I do NOT use Parallels, but I have two operating systems on my computer. Please help!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Brittany Tu
    I have not used Windows for about eight years now, so my first suggestion will relate to Mac OS X.
    (1) You can boot your Mac into OS X and use its iChat AV for chatting with your AIM friends. If you need help, here's how:
    • While running in Mac OS X, quit all running applications
    • Launch iChat on your Mac
    • Choose the iChat > Help > iChat Help menu item
    • When the Help window opens, click the "A new way to video conference." link
    • See the help instructions there.
    If you need more help, click here for Apple's Mac 101: iChat AV tutorial.
    By the way, you do NOT need to use AOL or have AIM software installed on your Mac to use iChat AV in Mac OS X to connect with other iChat or AIM users. You only need iChat AV and the AIM Name you already have (or, if you do not already have one, you can get a FREE AIM Name here.)
    (As an alternative to an AIM Name, if you have an Apple .Mac name (either a Free Trial or paid account name is OK), your dot Mac account name will also work as your iChat account (buddy) name.)
    If you want ALL the info about iChat, see Ralph's iChat FAQs:
      http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/index.html
    (2) For Skype, you can download the free Mac OS X versions of Skype while you are booted in Mac OS X on your Mac. The Mac version of Skype is easy to configure and set up, and it works with your existing Skype account info for connecting to your existing Skype contacts. If you have difficulty, see the Mac OS X help info in Skype's Help pages.
    (3) If you are using Windows XP via Boot Camp on your Mac, the iSight drivers are contained in the driver CD that you create for the Boot Camp install. After you have read the instructions and created the driver CD, use that driver CD to install the driver for the built-in iSight in the same way you would add any other driver for XP.
    (4) If you are using Windows XP via some other method or need to post back for more suggestions, be sure to include your system info including which specific Mac and Mac OS you are using. Also post what virtual PC emulator you are using to create your Windows XP environment. The more specific you can make your question and system info, the more likely you will get a useful answer quickly.
    We will be glad to try to provide other suggestions based on the details of your response.

  • Built in Isight not detected in USB

    Hi,
    I got the new IMac now and was using the isight. Had funw ith it and suddenly after I updated my system, Isight refused to work and the common error that everyone has" photobooth, cam used elsewhere" came in. So I checked the docs and found out that the cam is not detected in the USB list in the system profiler. Now how do you fix that??
    Any help is welcome.
    Thank you
