Leopard-compatible SmartMedia card reader?

Just got a new 2G Mini and all is bliss, except that my old Zio! USB SmartMedia card is orphaned.
Up to date drivers are not available, and the company itself is defunct.
Any compatible devices out there? I know SmartMedia itself is obsolete but my camera still works fine...and I'm cheap.

Similar issues here, but with a SanDisk brand reader on an Intel mac mini running 10.5.2.
Did you have any luck with your new reader?
Thanks in advance for your reply,
Simon

Any good Leopard-compatible greeting card programs out there?

My wife wants to print the cards herself vs. going through the Apple Print Service. Does anyone know of any good greeting card software out there that works with Leopard? Thanks

Go to > Windows Media Player on the Mac - Flip4Mac, the free version should do it.

Please recommend a CF card reader for Mac

I have a iMac (Intel) desktop and also a Windows based PC. I use the newer Mac to process JPEG photos in Lightroom 3, but here's the catch: most of the time my older Sandisk ImageMate 8-in-1 CF reader does not show up in LR3 (I connect the USB plug directly to the back of the Mac's USB slot). It works just fine with the PC. So it may be a hardware problem and I am willing to invest in a new Mac compatible card reader. My Mac runs on OS X (Lion).
Can someone recommend a Mac OS X-compatible CF card reader? I'm getting desperate.

While it is highly probable that getting a new reader will fix your problem one thing in your post gives me pause. You say that most of the time it doesn't show up, but sometimes it does?
You would think that a comparability problem would be an either or situation. It either works or it doesn't. I would check out a few things first before buying a new reader.
First I'd try a different cable, even if this cable works OK on the PC. Second would be to use a differtn USB port on the Mac. Then I would open Image Capture and see if the reader shows up there. Finally open System Information (in te Utilities folder) and in the hardware section select USB with the card reader attached. See if it shows up in the devices.

Card reader not recognizing CF in leopard on new 24" Imac.. HELP PLEASE!!

I have a new 6-in-1 card reader that my new IMac (Leopard, 24", 2.4gHz, 2gb RAM) won't fully recognize. The thing is, it recognizes it if I put an SD card in it, but not a CF card. (This is annoying because one of my cameras uses CF). The stranger thing is that if I boot XP in parallels on this IMac, XP recognizes both the SD and CF cards just fine in the reader, and the files import flawlessly. This makes me think the computer, the connection, the card, and the reader are not the problem. My Macbook also recognizes the CF card without any problems, so it's not just that the card reader isn't fully Mac compatible. Any ideas? It's super annoying and I'd rather not buy a different card reader when it seems so close to working... I can import photos through parallels and XP, but that's annoying and there should be a way to get this fancy machine to see the CF card in the reader...

Not being able to transfer photos from CF cards using my USB2 card reader, I connected my Canon D60 camera to my MacBook using the original Canon cable. The Mac doesn't see that either and there appear to be no relevant rivers on the Canon site. Is there a problem with USB2 under Leopard? Is Apple aware of or working on this?

USB-3 card reader that is compatible with MacBook Pro (Retina) and Mountain Lion

Can anybody recommend a USB-3 based CompactFlash memory card reader that works with the MacBook Pro (Retina) and Mountain Lion (or, at least, Lion)?
Thanks in advance...

Thanks for your reply, Clinton. But I already have two readers that are USB-2 compatible. Now I need the one like I described above. I am using only the fastest CF cards available.
I have read some user reports (on Amazon) on two readers relevant to my needs - SanDisk and Lexar - but I'm still not sure whether they are fully compatible with the Retina MacBook and Mountain Lion. As a matter of fact, I doubt it...

Installed Snow Leopard 10.6.3, now usb card reader (CF, SD etc.) is not rec

For some reason my MacBook doesn't recognize my usb card reader at all now. I have never had this happen before. It doesn't matter if my camera's cf card is in the reader or out or if it's plugged into my usb hub or directly into the MacBook. I just installed Snow Leopard so I think that's causing it, however, I don't know what to do to fix it....

Shutdown and restart, Zapping the Pram. Then, try the card again.

Leopard does not support reading/writing to SD card via network?

I have a Pixma MX700. I can read and write to SD cards using the card reader built into this machine ... IF I use Windows XP. Leopard will mount the card and allow me to view it contents but the minute I try to import a file to my iMac, I get error code 1401.
I've been told by Canon support that the new MP Navigator EX driver for Leopard disables reading from the memory card over a network. They claim Leopard does not support this function and reading the posts from others having the same issue using different multi-function printers, this would appear to be a Leopard issue, not a Canon issue.
Can anyone confirm this and/or offer a fix?
Thanks!

Smart Card Reader on Leopard

Has anyone tried to use a Smart Card reader and CAC with Leopard? It worked flawlessly with Tiger, but Leopard doesn't even recognize the reader is attached. I can run Parallels with XP and it immediately recognizes it works with all sites, so I know the reader is good and the USB bus is ok.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ditto!!!
I have a SCR331 and I am not able to get 10.5 to recognize my CAC card.
I do believe Leopard is recognizing and using the SCR331 but the problem
lies in the CAC Card Driver. Here are the details :
Hardware : SCR331 USB with firmware 5.22
CAC Card : Oberthur ID One v5.2
System log when CAC card is inserted into 10.5:
Nov 9 06:16:09 angel com.apple.SecurityServer[20]: src/CCIDDriver/common/CCID.c (793): Protocol type of card (T=1) not supported by this driver for this type of reader (TPDU)

I hope Apple developers manage to fix this in put it in 10.5.1.

CAC card reader with Snow Leopard

I recently switched to my macbook pro, but cannot use my CAC card reader (smart card) to access email and systems from work. The only info I can find indicates that the readers are not supported/compatible with my system. Other than using bootcamp or parallels and Windows XP, does anyone have any guidance? Any assistance would be welcome. Thanks.

I'm trying to use my CAC reader on my new MBP...old MB had Tiger, so I bought SCM SCR331 reader and downloaded the middleware available for it. Was able to log into AF Portal, but never my email...always errored out and I assumed that for some reason, the reader or the OS or Safari, was not using the correct certificate (there are at least 2 on the ID card...one for regular log in and another for email). At work, the PC asks me which certificate to use when I access my email through the AF Portal and I choose the one marked EMAIL. My MB would not ask...
Now, with my brand new MBP, the SCR331 is just not detected. Reading through the information on militarycac.com, I must need a firmware update that is not available for Mac...your information on the SGT111 is very helpful, and since its fairly cheap, I think I will buy one and be rid of firmware issues.
Accessing my email from home is very important to me, so this last post has me feeling a bit deflated. Please update if you figure anything out, I only have the MB and MBP in my home. I'm also thinking of seeing if the 'genius' at my local Apple store can help...

ESATA card compatible with CF card reader

Can anyone recommend an eSATA card that would be compatible with the Addonics flash card reader below:
http://www.addonics.com/products/flash_memory_reader/aepddesu.asp

Their page says any SATA card on any computer.
The essential question is, "Do you want Mac Bootable" ??
Then you are limited to a few cards by Sonnet and FirmTek, or if you have a 2008 Mac Pro or previous to using a "cheater" SATA cable off the "extra" Optical Drive SATA ports.

Firewire CF Card Reader Compatible Please Lexar is NOT!

Just bought a $50 Lexar Firewire Compact Flash reader only to find out it is not supported by Tiger or Lexar for Tiger. It would be nice to get a patch from Apple or a driver from Lexar but I'm not holding my breath. Right now I just want to know if there is another firewire CF card reader that will for sure work on my G4 tower running 10.4.5 Thanks!

Alex - I have the same card reader...it works FINE with my 1G Sandisk Ultra II - BUT Tiger will NOT mount a 2G Lexar card in the same reader....I've exchanged the reader twice and still no joy....WHAT IS UP WITH THIS? I can find nothing on any of the Mac forums here or elswhere and can't believe others are not having a problem...??? any ideas...anyone?

USB Card Reader no longer works after Lion update.

My USB card reader/writers no loger work since I "upgraded" to Lion 10.7.4. All was well with Snow Leopard, but with no built-in SD card reader I must rely on USB readers. Anyone know how to fix this issue? Are there updates avaiable or coming soon to resolve this issue?

Hi MissMedia 83 and welcome to the forums!!
This has been a trend that a lot of AppleCare advisors have been seeing as call drivers. Essentially, many of the USB internet modems that are used widely require a 32bit kernel to operate. In Snow Leopard, although the system was in 64bit by defauly, people had the option of booting the computer into a 32bit mode to use the USB modems successfully.
With Lion, however, no such options exists. If your USB modem device is only compatible with a 32bit machine, then your only options are to either downgrade to Snow Leopard or find a different provider that supports 64bit.
Sorry to be the bearer of crappy news. My suggestion is to use something like a pocket wifi or personal hotspot, where you have a wifi network that is being created by a small device that connects to the cell network. Much much easier and your computer thinks it's just a regular wifi network.
This is what I think the issue is anyway. Could be wrong.
Any other suggestions?
