Keep losing the card reader

Could anyone tell me why I can't get a card reader to reliably work with my motherboard? I have two different computers, two different MSI boards and both will not reliably connect with the USB attached card reader on restart. The card reader is installed in the case, the usb is plugged directly into the mother board inside the box, and 9 out of 10 times I restart, it will not be found, meaning I go to My Computer and it is not listed there as well as I get nothing when I insert a card. There is power on the device because it has a power light that is lit, but no action. If I open the case and unplug and replug the usb cable it will come to life. Any suggestions?
Any thoughts or comments are welcome.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply and reference to the other thread. I read all of it and one person there did have my problem, but I didn't see a cure. All my USB ports work, there isn't a 10th pin connection on any of my plugs, so no cutting is needed, but If I do plug the card reader in while the computer is up and running, it works. I reboot and it is gone forever (or until I unplug and replug it in again with the computer running). The UVCViewer does say that there is a problem, but I have no idea how to fix it. I get this message:

Anyone know how to correct this? PLEASE HELP, it's driving me crazy.

Problem with ARD3 keeps losing the cursor

I am having problems with ARD3 whereby I keep losing the cursor when controlling another machine. The cursor is still there but you have to click-drag to see it moving. There was a similar problem a few months ago after a system update and pre ARD 3.1. I used to be able to upload the ARD client and that would solve the problem temporarily. But now that won't even work.
Another thing I notice when that happens is that my "Hidden Dock" stops appearing unless I click in the area. That also happens with my menus. And Expose stops working too.
The only way to get around the problem, is to either restart the computer or leave it for anything up to 1 hr, then it will be fine again.
Does anyone have the same problem?
I use a MacBook Pro DC 2G with 2G of RAM. 10.4.9 and all the latest System Updates including Security Update 2007-04. This started happening even before the 2007-004 security update.
MacBook Pro DualCore 2G Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I find that this happens only if a tool tip comes up after having it over an item in the toolbar however clicking in the remote computer's windows somewhere will bring the cursor back. Additionally switching windows, to say the main ARD window, and then back again will restore it as well.

How can I get my Mountain Lion more stable on the internet? It keeps losing the signal. Lion is solid as a rock on my other Macbook using the same router.

I downloaded Mountain Lion on my Macbook Air, and it works without a hitch except for internet connectivity. It keeps losing the signal. My Macbook using the same connection is solid as a rock and never loses the connection. Is there something I can do? Since my Macbook works weell under exactly the same conditions and if memory serves so did my Macbook Air with Lion before I downloaded Mountain Lion, none of the usual fixes seem to apply.

I have the same problem, I think. I dont lose wifi signal, the mba stays connected to the router the whole time. Pings also seem unaffected by this problem. The problem is that web pages seem to load intermittently, in other words, it loads a page in 2 minutes. It loads:
the first 25% in the first 5 seconds
the next 25% in the next 50 seconds
the next 25% in the next 5 seconds
the last 25% in the last 50 seconds
Its quite annoying considering this can be as simple a page as goolge search results or even google.com.
I thought it was my ISP and i even made a big racket about it, switched ISPs and I have the same problem.
With the previous ISP I had a cisco router. This new ISP supplied their own modem/wifi. That doesnt seem to be the problem.
Im thinking its a config issue on my mba. I have the latest updates to ML.
Any ideas?

Keep losing the remote speaker selector

My wife has a G4 iBook running 10.3.9 and is running the latest version of iTunes (6.0.5 I think). We have an Airport Extreme base station and 2 Airport Express units to stream music throughout our house.
My wife keeps losing the selection button on the lower right side of her iTunes used to select the remote speakers. The only way I have been able to get it back was to delete the com.apple.itunes.plist file and then restart iTunes. After answering the few questions it asks the selection button reappears. I have to repeat this every few days. Even though the button is gone she has full network access through the Airport Extreme.
I have a G5 iMac and I do not have this problem with my iTunes. In fact, on several occassions, when her selection button disappeared I immediately checked on my system and the button was there.
Any thoughts what is causing this?
Thanks,
David

I spent some time in the Network Manager and tried to force a statis IP address for her iBook. I couldn't get the static IP address to connect to the Inrternet and have since gone back to DHCP on her machine. That seems to have fixed the problem. I suspect the was an address "stuck" in her setup which has now cleared.

The verification lists my card data and address etc. correctly but I need to keep entering the card security number. Support keep telling me to delete and re-enter my car info which does not help. Anyone else seen this issue? Seems to be something to do

Seems to be something to do with a new security check they have put in the system that does not work correctly and support is totally incapable of helping me out.
wth am i gonna do im feed up and on top i have no one to help me been calling itunes for days now im ****** off to the maxxx

I've been jumping through the hoops with Apple Support on this issue....first time I called they said I should try updating from IOS 4.0 to 4.1....tried that and the issue still persisted...then I called back to update the ticket and get the next steps...they said that the Bank is rejecting the request for verification and that is why it keeps prompting (which doesn't make sense since the confirmation seems to go through successfully). The rep also contacted the iTunes dept and had them run the verify manually and said the bank rejected it. The next hoop they want me to jump through is calling the bank to verify that the account is in good standing and inquire about the rejected requests. I'm fairly certain the bank account is in good standing....will verify of course....but I find it hard to believe that all the people who have posted here, plus countless others that are experiencing the same issue but haven't, are ALL having banking issues in the last 24hrs...I'm more convinced there is a disconnect on the back end between iTunes and Financial institutions...
I'm not sure I buy in to everything I was told...he also told me he has had several calls on this issue and they were all told to check with their banks. He could not verify that any of his past calls were resolved. Needless to say I'm not 100% believing everything he told me....weak response from Apple support on this issue so far.

Can't re-order my queue on Netflix and keep losing the connection

I'm having so much trouble with Netflix! I can't re-order my queue, I keep losing the connection, and it's painfully slow. Is Netflix known to be unstable on iPad? Other internet connecitons seem to be fine.

I rarely have problems on it - I do occasionally have drops in video quality, but nothing consistent. It does require a very strong and stable network connection, and I also wonder if they have periodic "crush time" incidents on their end, considering the rapid growth of Netflix streaming.
Updating the queue is a pain on it - you can't do it on the app, and have to go to their website. I generally find it easier to do on a computer.

Close all Apps and see if Activity Monitor shows any processes runnung.
Not that I think this is the cure but have you tried these resets:
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
PRAM RESET
Zap the PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Why do imported files disappear after disconnecting the card reader?

I recently replaced my hard drive and upgraded to OS X Yosemite 10.10. I restored my computer from a backup on an external hard drive. Since then, Lightroom 4 has been losing my files. They appear to import normally and are still in the catalog as long as the card reader is plugged in, but as soon as I disconnect the card reader Lightroom can no longer find the files and they do not show up when I attempt to search for them by name. What's going on? How can I get Lightroom to store my files as it did before?

Move and Add are normally disabled for non-hard drive removable media. This is to prevent people from losing photos and all the work they might have done on those photos.
Normal Procedure is to:
1. Insert your camera's media
2. Import into Lightroom using Copy which will make a duplicate of your file from your media and store it on your hard drive (or external hard drive - which ever you specify)
3. Remove media
4. Work on your images in Lightroom from the location they were copied to - never from the original media

I have a Airport Extreme 802.11n and my T.V. is a panisonic,I keep losing the connection. Anybody have any answers?

I have a Airport Extreme 802.11n and my T.V. is a panisonic,I keep losing the connection. Anybody have any answers?

Plenty of suggestions.. only you can find out which one is correct.
What model AE? What firmware?
Since Panasonic TV is not apple it will use SMB windows type networking.. everything but Apple does.
Are the names in the AE all SMB compatible.. ie short.. max about 20 characters.. no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Is the security set to WPA2 Personal with a pure alphanumeric password of 10-20 characters.. more is fine if you suffer paranoia but isn't needed.
Fix the wireless channels.. so it doesn't flip flop like a dying fish.
There are only 3 channels for 2.4ghz that do not overlap, 11, 6, 1 although someone suggested 8 works well if you have heaps of interference. If you live in flat/apartment building you have heaps of interference.
Lastly is it stable if the distance is 3M direct line of sight?
If not then get a high power wireless AP and use that instead.

I keep losing the ability to use the microphone to input notes how can I turn the microphone back on

I keep losing the ability to use the microphone When creating or adding to existing NOTES App that came with my iPhone five how can I turn the microphone back on? It reactivated for a while after the new iOS 6.1 update but only for a couple days.

I'm very sad about that.
Will Apple provide the ability to protect our children from inappropriate behavior sometime soon?

My apple tv keeps losing the connection to iTunes.

apple tv keeps losing the connection to itunes

Hi I have all my appletvs set to NEVER SLEEP - go to your appletv settings/general/sleep after and choose never sleep. Since doing that I have had no problem with them. Also I leave my 2010 macbook pro running itunes and permanently on and open - it is my main homesharing disk. I give it a sleep every now and then when not using appletv.
Try that first anyway.

My Macbook keeps losing the desktop appearance and keyboard settings. How to fix this?

My Macbook Pro keeps losing the desktop appearance and keyboard settings randomly after going to sleep. They go back to default settings. I run the very last update of Snow Leopard.
How to fix this once and for all?

How do I cleanly disconnect. I usually go to File, quit RDC.
someone told me that it could be my old macbook tying it up but most everything has been wiped off of that computer.

I keep losing the connection on my apple mouse

I keep losing the connection to my apple mouse. The batteries are ok, but the connection still drifts in and out. Any suggestions?

You say the batteries are okay.    Here are a few notes I've put together.
Whether you use regular or rechargeable batteries you should buy the best. Discounted or unbranded batteries are more likely to give a depleted performance and may be of irregular size, often leading to connection problems.   Apple’s own brand, Eneloop and Energiser appear to be the best.
Rechargeable batteries for the standard Magic mouse are unlikely to exceed eighteen days before needing a recharge although the mouse itself can be a limiting factor.   I have seen reports that some Logitech mice vastly exceed this.    Apple may suggest more in their sales blurb but this is a realistic expectation.   The benefit (if you are organised) is that you can always have charged batteries available.   Regular batteries will give you between 25 and 35 days before they need to be replaced.
Note. Never mix old and new batteries or rechargeable and regular.   The notes above are based on my personal experience, not shutting down my machine and using it for around four hours per day.
Note.   Monitors do not always faithfully report battery strength, particularly the rechargeable ones.
When checking your mouse or keyboard batteries ... Turn off the device. Remove the batteries, Clean the terminals both inside the battery compartment and the batteries themselves. Replace or renew both batteries. Turn on the device.   You should get a blinking green light if the device is paired. Click the mouse to activate it. The green light becomes steady.

Cash on tap crashes the card reader

I have had cash on tap since the beginning of the year and by and large it has worked quite well. There are some contactless readers that don't seem to accept payments this way but most do and so I decided to enable auto topup and use it more regularly. Since using it more often I have twice experienced my attempt at using CoT leaving the card reader inoperative. In both cases the phone vibrated and I thought it was going to work but then I looked at the reader and the payment hadn't gone through. I tried again and then tried a contactless card followed by using chip and pin but the reader had become unresponsive. The first occasion was in Costa Coffee and the second in Tesco. I don't know if it occurs when the phone's RAM is constrained and whatever service on the phone that handshakes with the card reader doesn't launch. Has anyone else experienced this issue and is there a way to avoid it? Has there been an update to the Cash on Tap app (not the wallet app) since February? Mine is version 2.0 and maybe there have been some updates. I have turned the auto topup off but have just read on this forum that there is a monthly charge if the service is not used for more than six months so I will have to keep using it. Until Android Pay comes, CoT is a good solution and has the advantage of not requiring a PIN to be entered. However, I'm a bit nervous about using it now.
