IPhoto can't detect device (Memory card reader or Camcorder)

2 days ago i inported videos from my canon LEGRIA HF G30 to my imac usin iPhoto with a few problem (Keep quiting but bit by bit i have done it). Today i can see my CANON icon on the descktop, but can't see it in iPhoto. I belive the folt it's from the last upgrade or update becouse i try it on my MacBook Pro, still have same problem.
Need help please.
Kind Regards

I have the same (I think) problem. When I connect my iPhone or iPad via USB to my Mid 2010 15" Macbook Pro, the devices are not seen by either iPhoto or even Image Capture. iTunes sees both, and syncs activities are normal. Tried a camera SD card in the SD slot. It shows up in Finder, but does not show up in iPhoto or Image Capture.
I'm on iPhoto 9.5.1, Image Capture 6.3, and OS 10.9.2.
Anyboby know what's going on?

My iPad no longer detects my memory card reader to transfer photos from my camera?

My iPad is no longer detecting my apple memory card reader to transfer photos from my camera to my iPad 2

You could try closing the Photos app completely and then re-open it to see if that makes a difference : from the home screen (i.e. not with Photos 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Photos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
Are you adding the photos yourself to the card via a computer, or is it straight from a camera ?

Satellite L670-DX1 - after SP1 installation can't use memory card reader

Hi
Since I have upgraded my Satellite L670-DX1 from Win7 64Bits to Win7 64 bits SP1 (2 days ago) I can't use my memory card reader anymore, it always says it is a bad card and I should better reformat the card, with any card.
Does anyone have a similar problem or even better a solution for me?
Greetings

yes i have installed sp1 using windows updater, i have tried to let the laptop search for new drivers, and i have the newest, i can't role it back because some virusscanning software makes it fail (allthough i made them inactive after cutting the wireless connection and before putting the old configurations back)

IPhoto fails, removes device (memory card), images lost memory on card lost

I've just recently began to experience problems with importing pics from my digital cameras' memory cards. I use a GE 24-in-1 USB Card Reader, and I have been using the delete after import feature on iPhone import, with no problems for a year, until just recently. I did browse and note some recommend not to use that feature.
I use 512MB and 2GB Sandisk, Toshiba, (and two new unused) Lexar SD memory cards. I remove the cards from digital cameras (several different models of Kodak, and in two Panasonic PV-GS500 camcorders in picture-taking mode) and use the card reader for importing. I've imported into iPhoto this way for a year, likely having done so 400 times or more with no problems. I've just been lucky?
But during import recently, iPhoto import stopped, and I got the device removed without being unloaded properly warning. The iMac hung, and I had to force quit iPhoto. Yep, I lost about all the images that had imported, both in the iPhoto library, as well as on the memory card--about 600 of the 900 images on the 2GB card. I started over, without the delete after import option selected, and was able to complete the download of the remaining images. I closed iPhoto, and used Finder to select and move to trash the images on the card, to clear the card and free up all the memory for the next use. But I noted that the memory available was incorrect, showing only 658.1MB instead of what I think a 2GB should show--1.87GB.
Something similar has happened again. During import (not having the delete after import option selected), import stopped, and I got the device remove warning again. No images were saved in Library, but all the images remained on the card, so I started over and did complete the import of all the images from the card, and they were properly saved in Library. I used Finder to move to trash to clear the card. But again noted that the memory card now only shows 704.7MB available, not the 1.87GB that it should.
Yes, I read today the recommendations evidently not to do the process in this manner, so I'm sure one suggestion will be for me not to use the delete after import option, and I guess I'm not supposed to use Finder to move to trash to delete the images from the card. But I note I've done it this way for a year, even using the delete after import option with no problems--until the past two weeks. And also I've allowed all the auto updates, one recently for iPhoto, as I recall, so maybe one of the updates is now part of the experience I'm having.
So is the recommended procedure to only import with the memory card in the device (camera or camcorder), and only to delete the images using the device? I can, of course, but the way I had been doing it was far more convenient, and seemed appropriate use of the software and options.
Also, is there anyway to format the cards so the complete memory is available? Related to that, I'm beginning to think I shouldn't randomly use the cards in the five devices I use (cameras and camcorders)? Until now this hasn't been a problem either. I've been randomly using the cards, devices, and card reader, again, for over a year....
To be fair, maybe I just haven't recognized the problem when it first started recently, as I just viewed the memory on all the cards, and now see that some of the 512MB cards are only showing like 179MB, 336.4MB, and 483.4MB--is the last volume what's normally available for a 512MB card?
I seldom use the 512MB cards in the camcorders, but haven't specifically avoided doing that, other than for the reason that when capturing images in the camcorders, I usually capture 500-900 images at a time, thus needing the 2GB cards to handle that. But I've often used the 2GB cards in the digital cameras randomly.....
Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated!

Hi, OC. In addition to Terence's fine suggestions, let me point out (in case it isn't obvious) that after dragging images from your cards to the Trash, you must empty the Trash to recover the space the pictures occupied on the card. If you don't empty the trash, the pictures are still on the card, taking up the same space they did before you moved them.
But I'll repeat the oft-repeated recommendation not to delete anything from a memory card using your Mac. There are too many ways doing that can go pear-shaped. Erase or reformat each card each time you reinsert it in any of your cameras or other devices. The commands are there, somewhere in the cameras' menu systems.

My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). How do I fix it?

My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). I have tried unplugging the devices, restarting the computer, selectively unplugging and plugging in the devices, closing and opening the relevant applications (iTunes, iPhoto, etc). I have tried using different USB cables.
It's like all of a sudden the synching service stopped functioning or recognizing these devices for some reason. The other ports work just fine (monitor).
The only USB-connected external device that appears to be unaffected is the USB SuperDrive and it works on all the USB ports into which I plug it.
How do I fix this?

Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens or doesn't happen.

How can I replace a 5 in 1 memory card reader in a HP Pavilion 500-027c Desktop PC

I bought a refurbished HP Pavilion 500-027c Desktop PC computer from walmart 2 weeks ago... The 5-in-1 memory card reader does not work... the device manager says that it is working properly but when I put in a memory card nothing happens... The white light comes on indicating that the memory card has been inserted but the computer does not recognize that anything has been done... I would like to just replace the card reader itself... I see on hp support where it is possible to replace the memory card reader (front I/O), but I don't know where to purchase the actual card reader itself... I don't have any specs on the card reader either.... PLEASE HELP!!!!
This question was solved.

Thanks that page really helped out alot. And the card is a SDHC memory card. Now I just need to look into ordering part # 713240-003. How would I go about doing that anyways?
I bought it refurbished walmart and it had a 14 day warranty... Is there any type of manufacturer warranty?

How can we interface external usb camera or usb device(storage, card reader) to Ipad 2.What all things are need(any development Kit apart from IOS sdk)

Hi,
Before going any further in my research, I want to know the views and opinions about the intent of my work I am about to start.
AIM : I am trying to interface an external uvc camera with the ipad 2 and iphone .Just like in android there is a node(in unix and linux everythign is a file)which gets created in the /dev/ directory which can be accesses by the application using the native interfaces (JNI) and finally via the android code.I am trying to develop the similair application for the ipad 2 and iphone.
Can some one plz point out :
(1) How I can interface external hardware like ( external uvc camera) or any other USB device(a card reader, a storage device, a barometer etc)
(2) I have googled about Apple's Authentication chip which can be used to interface the external h/w.Can some one point out how useful it is.Is this related to that somehow.
(3)What are the things similair to JNI, node, /dev/ in the IOS for Ipad 2 and Iphone.
I will be highly obliged ,if some one could provide me the top pointers on it.
Thanks and Rgds,
MangoApple

DVD-Audio and "can not detect sound blaster card" with Audigy2 Va

I recently purchased an "Audigy2 Value" card from an eBay user, because I recently purchased some DVD-Audio discs. I downloaded the Audigy2 drivers from the website, and the Creative MediaSource player. 5. Surround sound worked fine for me, though sometimes the driver would reset to the default 2/2. sound and I would have to re-select 5. sound, which was annoying.
Then I was completely unable to get the MediaSource player to recognise my DVD-Audio discs, and the EAX functionality of the player would never work. The EAX logo never appeared in the player. When I tried installing the MediaSource player from an install disc, I got the message "can not detect sound blaster card". Then I discovered the world of EEPROM problems.
I followed advice from some other threads, including using ScanPCI to get information on the card, which yielded the following result.
When installed on my machine (Asus A7A266 motherboard) the ScanPCI reads:
Vendor 02h Creative Labs

On another machine (specs unknown, it's a "house pc") I got this (with 3 entries!):

(Just a note: above you can clearly see that it does not say I have an Audigy, it thinks it is a SBLi've. Is this normal? The card IS an Audigy 2, it says so on the card.)
So, I put the card back on my own PC, thinking this has fixed my EEPROM, but I get the same as before. Subsystem ID 0002h. And of course the install software will not detect the card.
I realise that I could go back to using the web drivers, but this still leaves me with MediaSource not recognising the card and not enabling DVD-Audio or EAX, which is why I bought the card in the first place!
I have heard that the VIA chipset is possibly to blame for the EEPROM problems on the Audigy cards, and certainly it seems like it is not permanent, since it gave different information on the other PC. So now I am seriously considering getting a new motherboard.
Do other motherboards cause this same problem? I don't want to buy another board and get the same trouble. All I want is to be able to install my MediaSource and have it recognise my card so I can listen to my DVD-Audio discs.
Cheers,
Russ.

Figured out my problem. Installing the drivers from the web to begin with was a bad idea. They just did not work properly with the card.
The "card not found" problem has gone as well, after installing it in another PC. I am also using the proper install disc now, as the other one I was using turned out to not be for the Audigy 2 value after all, but was an Audigy 2 install disc. That easily explains the "Card not found" error. The differing results from the ScanPCI program are still bizarre, though.
Thanks to all of the people on the forum who posted information in other threads to help me deal with this issue. For now I am sticking with the original drivers from the disc and I am not upgrading.

HP8730w Ricoh Media Driver 2.10.00.04 no longer works in 5-1 memory card reader

Re-installed Ricoh Media Driver 2.10.00.04 from HP Support Center HP Elitebook 8730w Mobile Workstation software download page. No change. Card reader does not function. Put memory card in HP Elitebook 8440w, and it's 5-1 card reader reads it okay. So the memory card is fine. I suppose I need an updated driver. Need Help!!!    Thank you.

What version of iPhoto do you have? With Yosemite you must be running iPhoto 9.6.1 which is a available from the App Store. If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll have to download and apply the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 to the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.6.1. It'll be located in the Applications/Utilities folder after downloading.
Now for your system:
Startup Items: ℹ️
    ChmodBPF: Path: /Library/StartupItems/ChmodBPF

Currently you're not having any memory problems since your Page-outs are essentially non existent. You can check it as you work with Activity Monitor.

    4.25 GB    Page-ins
    24 MB    Page-outs
As long as the memory pressure is in the green and constant and you're not seeing a lot of SWODs you shouldn't be concerned about the memory. Of course increasing memory will nearly always improve general system and application performance. But you didn't mention slowness as part of your problem.

USB/memory card reader problem, any help would be great

Hello all, I bought a new memory card reader today and our computer will not recoginize it's there. The reader is a Targus universal 32 in 1 memory card reader/writer and I think the model is TGR-CRD25, it also says USB 2.0. I didn't have any problems with the old reader as far as the machine "seeing" the reader. This new reader does show up in the system profiler but the little power light will not come on and I get a "low power for device" type message when I plug it in. I unplugged the keyboard and plugged in the new reader to the USB port where the keyboard was connected and the light came on on the reader but iphoto was still saying no storage device when I tried to import pictures? Any ideas?

There is very little extra power available once the mouse is hooked to the keyboard. The "real" solution is to get a USB Hub with its own power supply.

Memory Card Reader problems

I have seen this problem for a long time on Arch. This was occuring when I used an external SCSI memory card reader, and now I notice the same thing with my new linux box which has an internal 15-in-1 card reader connect to the USB card. It goes like this ...
When I insert the card, my KDE desktop fails to notice it. When I open a terminal and run dmesg, nothing relevant shows up. When I attempt to mount the device, I'm told it doesn't exist. After some passage of time, it will still fail, unless I do a fdisk on that device to see if fdisk sees it. Sometimes it takes a few fdisks to find it, but eventually it seems to find it. At that point I can mount the device. But one thing that has been true in the past as well as the present ... I must issue a fdisk command for that device (and then exit fdisk) before Arch Linux ever sees the device. This has been true since 0.6x Arch, and now true of 0.72 Arch, on two different boxes and with two different card readers.

i had this prob ages ago. was even convinced it was some physical slots that were broke, (rear slots worked fronts didnt )or one particular cardreader (gtech 21-in-1) as it glitched under windows too.
at some point tho, in Arch anyways, the problem went away, and i think now it was more to do with modules and confs and it got solved more by tinkering than knowing what was what definitively. we live and learn
maybe try as su - root lsmod |grep usb
