Mac OS X 10.4 and Card Reader

I bought a Sandisk All-in-One Card Reader which was recognised by my Imac for one day only. On the second it was not recognised anymore! Astonishing: the reader is listed in the System Profiler.Until now I have not receoved any useful hint from Sandisk - so I am thinking of switching to another reader. Can s.o. make a recommendation. I want to use SDHC Cards.
Any help is appreciated!

  • Iphoto 11 is not recognizing jpeg files downloaded from camera and card reader. Nor will it allow me to transfer from image capture

    iphoto 11 is not recognizing jpeg files from either the camera and card reader. Canon Eos rebel dig. Nor will it allow me to transfer images from image capture to iphoto. No problem downloading to image capture.

    Sounds like a damaged card.  Get your photos off the card with Image Capture and then reformat the card in the camera.  Take some pictures and see if the card is recognized by iPhoto and the card reader.

  • Dell 2407wfp and card reader and Mac Pro

    Does the card read work when monitor is plugged into a MacPro?
    I did not install any software but just plugged my 2407wfp into my Mac Pro using DVI port and it recognized the montior. I inserted a cf card into the monitor but nothing happend. Do I need to install any software for the usb ports and card readers to work on my Mac Pro?

    It should do. What I think you've missed is to connect the USB uplink cable (a standard USB2 A to B) from the display to your MP.

  • Camera Connector and card reader

    When I connect my compact flash card reader through the Camera Connector it immediately recognizes it and when I confirm I wish to load the pictures it will download many of the pictures ... then it just hangs.
    It can't be a bad jpeg because each time I try it ... it hangs on a different picture.
    I have tried several different compact flash cards and they all do the same.
    The pictures which it loads are just fine.
    I wouldn't think that it should be some kind of compatibility issue because it works straight away ...
    If I quit out of the loading ... it will hang at that point.
    When it hangs I must boot out of the condition.
    What would cause this?
    Anyone else experience this?

    Uh hem, found the recent topic dedicated to this question. Unfortunately, not much is compatible!

  • Best External Hard Drive and Card Reader?

    Hi, guys and girls:
    I am going to work as a data manager on a TV series. I guess data manager is the name, or loader, they shooting everything on the 5D or 7D, there not sure yet and I have to download all the data of the camera and save it on a hard disk, make backups and all that.
    They ask me for the best hard disk, and I probably would choose a Lacie, but I have heard bad things about them so I want to make an informed desition.
    Wich are the best disks or the most reliables for what I am going to do?
    I also need a good card reader, one that uses firewire 800 to make things as fast and reliable as possible.
    So what card reader would you recomend?
    Thanks in advance.

    Ok, to nail it down a little bit.
    I have read that there´s a problem with pins in the scandisk card readers so maybe the best option is the Lexar one but some others say that the lexar is worst.
    So confusing
    What do you think?
    I am talking about the firewire cards or maybe the express one for the older macbook pro

  • Message on the iPad screenCamera and card reader used to much power.

    This message we got when trying to send pictures from a Camera and a specific Card  reader to an iPad.
    Changed to another Card Reader and all went well! Never heard or saw this message before! Very curious if some one has seen the same message and I wonder why? Tried it on two types of iPad!
    Thanks in advantage for a reply!

    What type of camera is it ? I know that some Canon cameras need a 'transfer method' menu setting on them changing to 'PTP' - does your camera have a setting which allows you to use PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol or Pictbridge) or 'mass storage device' ?
    For the card reader, a lot of readers require more power than is supplied to the iPad's dock - only one of my CF card readers works with my iPad.

  • Qosmio G35-600 - Control buttons and card reader don't work

    Hi,
    So I recently installed windows XP on my Toshiba Qosmio G35-600 and I found all the drivers except for two. If anyone out there could help me find them that would be great.
    1) The first driver I cannot find is for the Toshiba control buttons at the top of my keyboard (I believe that is what they are called). Quosmios have 12 buttons on the top above the F keys, and currently only my power button, the brightness up and down buttons, and the dolby sound buttons work. The analog TV button, the media center button, play, stop, previous, next,record, and s-video out buttons don't do anything anymore. It would be cool if i had an s-video out ability again but mostly what i want is the play, previous, and next buttons to work.
    2)The second problem I am having is with my built in SD card reader. A few times I thought I found the correct driver but after installing it the SD card was not showing up in my computer.
    A preemptive thanks for the help,
    Xamboni

    Hello
    I think you should install the Toshiba controls for Windows XP that you can find on the Toshiba website. Check this!
    http://www.csd.toshiba.com
    The driver for the SD card slot you can find on the Toshiba website too.
    What SD card have you tried?
    Try it with an other SD card and use the Toshiba SD card utility to format the card.

  • Anybody have a resolution for PRIAMOS file download using a Mac OSX 10.6.8 and Adobe Reader XI?

    Does anyone have experience of the EU PRIAMOS file download system? I am experiencing difficulties in downloading files in Adobe Reader format ( I have set the default PDF reader to Adobe Reader).
    The PRIAMOS system can only communicate with Windows 32bit - Mozilla Firefox 2 and higher or......
    IE 6 or 7
    IE 7 or 8 (in compatibility mode)
    Supported PDF programmes are:
    Adobe Reader 8.1 or higher
    My Adobe Reader software is the latest version (Adobe Reader XI for Mac with latest update as at 10 Sept 2013)
    The PRIAMOS system does not officially support Mac computers, but PRIAMOS has been used successfully with OS X version 10.5.8 (Leopard) and Mozilla Firefox (2.5) (with built in PDF reader disabled and Adobe Reader enabled) and Adobe Reader 8.1
    Any help would be gratefully appreciated

    Oops, I hit return before I was finished!
    In short, does anyone have any ideas apart from those I've tried. One solution seems to be to go back to 10.6.4 - one of the other discussions seem to indicate that the probelm comes in with 10.6.8.
    Thanks!

  • Satellite A300 - dvd, usb and card reader will not work

    Help required please.
    Have a A300 Satellite laptop, running vista.
    Until a couple of weeks ago all good, then noticed the dvd/cd did not recognized and disc in it. The card reader cannot find anything on the card (and yes the card was full).
    The usb scanner is recognized as a external memory card and the other usb port does not fuction.
    I have not installed or cannot remember changing settings or doing anything out of the usually.
    Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

    Hi
    Your posting is very confusing.
    > Until a couple of weeks ago all good, then noticed the dvd/cd did not recognized and disc in it.
    Well, there are many reasons for that; it could be possible that inserted disk is not fully compatible. Try different disks from different manufacturers.
    It could be also possible that laser lens of the ODD is dirty. In such case you could clean it using a cotton-wool tip and alcohol. In my case this helped.
    > The card reader cannot find anything on the card (and yes the card was full).
    Did you use a compatible card? The notebook handles these cards:
    SD Card 8MB - 2GB
    SDHC Card - 4GB
    xD picture card - 16MB-2GB
    Memory Stick - 8MB-256MB
    Memory Stick Pro - 256MB-2GB
    MultiMediaCard - 8MB-1GB
    miniSD (with SD adapter) - 32MB-2GB
    I would also recommend to format the card and to copy some files from computer and then to test this.
    You could also reinstall and update the driver for card reader controller...
    > The usb scanner is recognized as a external memory card
    Cannot believe that You should use a scanner software (should be provided with the scanner) and should test this device. By the way; mostly a scanner driver needs to be installed in order to use this

  • Psu of mega 651 and card reader

    Hi ive got 2 quick questions i need help with
    1/ I've got these components in my mega 651
    512 pc2700 ram
    120 gb hd maxtor
    2.8 p4 processor
    64mb geforce 4 mx440
    Pinnacle Tv card rave
    I want to upgrade my graphics card to ati Radeon 9200 128mb, and put in another stick of 512 ram. (same brand and speed)
    Just wanted to know if the mega 651 psu, could handle these changes and run smoothly?
    2/ I cant seem to install the card reader, its never been reconised in windows xp with the "new hardware detected", i've tried pluging and unpluging it from the motherboard, but that doesnt work. Is there settings I need to change in the bios, and what should the card reader be under in device manager?

    as for your card reader problems, i fear you may have a faulty unit.
    There should be two devices listed under "Disk Drives" in Device Manager:
    OEI-USB CompactFlash USB Device
    OEI-USB SM/MS/SD USB Device
    and in My Computer you'll see two "Removable Drives"
    The other possiblity is that you are running an old version of Windows XP without Service Pack 1 installed, which has a USB patch included. Do other USB devices work?
    Its possible that the devices are not being recognised because this patch is not installed. Visit Windows Update to download the latest updates.
    Lastly, make sure that the USB controller is Enabled in the BIOS settings.
    Thanks for the reply, I'm using windows xp with sp1 and updates, all the other usb ports seem to working ok, so i think it just may be a faulty card reader

  • B570 USB ports and card reader result in error of "not accessble" until system is restarted

    Hello,
    I have a new IdeaPad B570. Whenever I plug in my external hdd or other device (like iPod) in any of the three usb ports I get an error that the drive is not accessible...until I restart the computer and then it recognizes it with no problem.  The same thing happens when I put my SD camera card into the card reader.  This is annoying for things that should be plug and play.  However, when I plug in a mouse it connects immediately.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thank you!
    Marcy
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Check support-drivers and downloads for bios update.

  • Is wireless lightscribe and card reader in 10.6 and my HP C8180 possible ??

    I am very happy that I can finally scan from my HP Photosmart C8180 WIRELESSLY since it's connected to my wireless router in Snow Leopard. This was not possible in Leopard.
    Not having to plug in the USB cable to my laptop to print is great.
    But
    Can I use the other features of the printer in Snow Leopard now? Can i use the built-in card reader to look at an SD card wirelessly?? Can i burn to the built-in optical/lightscribe drive on the HP C8180 in Snow Leopard?
    Or are those features still limited to USB?
    Thank you!

    Can i use the built-in card reader to look at an SD card wirelessly?? Can i burn to the built-in optical/lightscribe drive on the HP C8180 in Snow Leopard?
    If it's working now otherwise, can't you just pop an SD card in real quick and find out? Same with the optical drive and a CD-R?

  • Import fails from camera and card reader

    I am unable to get Aperture 2.1.2 to import from either my camera or a CF card reader. I have a Canon 400d (Rebel XTi), shoot RAW only, and have used it for a while in Aperture without any problems, but suddenly it refuses to import.
    Aperture 'sees' the camera, opens the import pane automatically, but once the import process starts, nothing happens. The little spinning import indicator just spins...no images download. This behavior is the same for either the camera or card reader. And it happens with different cards.
    The only way I can import images is to drag them from the card in the Finder, and then drag them from the Finder into Aperture.
    Message was edited by: Ed Roppo

    I had this problem after the raw update 2.2 with images from my 1d-mkii. After the 2.3 update things went back to normal. There's something not entirely right with the current raw version from apple. My hunch is it's all going to be ok after the 10.5.6 update, which shouldn't be long.

  • Black Boxes in Mac OS X.8.2 and Adobe Reader 11.0

    I have a similar problem that Larry Joy asked about on this forum.  Per my usual practice, I updated my Adobe Reader to 11.0 when it was noted by my softeware update app.  Since then, I find that .pdf documents dating prior to the update have black boxes over all text, tables, images-essentially all content except the file name, date and title.  Many are saved emails that I save via the <Command P> then <Save as PDF> procedure.  My printer is a Canon MX879 aio, with a current driver.  My iMac info is a 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, using Mountain Lion OS 10.8.2.
    Most of these blacked-out documents were created using Adobe Reader 9.5 and Lion and Snow Tiger OS versions. 
    Can these documents be reconstructed?  Much of them are critical and irreplaceable (though backed up) if even the backed up copies cannot be read.
    How should I proceed?
    Peter

    Hi,
    I tried to replicate this issue inhouse but it's working fine at my end. Can you please share the sample pdf and orginal file so that I can give it a try with that. I am using exactly same environment as yours.

  • Why doesn't my card reader work when I take it from the camera and put it in the reader? Nothing happens and it doesn't show up in finder.

    When I put my card into the reader, nothing happens. It doesn't show up in finder so I can't dismount it. The pictures on it aren't readeable all of a sudden, except for two of them, and that's all that would download to iphoto, but I had to connect the camera since the card reader doesn't resond.

    Hi bricknut dab,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  Are you asking about the SD slot on your Mac, or is this an external card reader plugged into a USB port?  If it is the one on your Mac, the article below may be helpful.  Did you try more than one SD card?  You can use Disc Utility to erase and reformat the card if needed.
    About the SD and SDXC card slot
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3553
    I put the card in the slot, but it did not mount.  What should I do?
    Remove the card and insert it again. Sometimes, if you put the SD card into the slot too slowly, it may not mount properly.
    Can I reformat an SD card with Disk Utility?
    Yes. Using Disk Utility, you can partition and format an SD device as FAT32 (using the MS-DOS FAT setting) or Mac OS Extended. The Mac OS Extended format can only be used on Macintosh systems. Cards formatted to Mac OS Extended will not be recognized by non-Apple systems. Formatting cards larger than 32GB for use with digital cameras, GPS, and other devices may require formatting them with the exFAT file system. When in doubt, format the cards in the device you intend to use with the card.
    Cheers,
    - Judy
