Memory card in CD drive

I have put the memory card from my camera into the CD drive by accident.
I have tried pressing the eject key and also holding down F12 at start up. I have also tried holding Command, Alt, P and R at start up. No sign of the card.
Any ideas as to how I can get it out?

Take a look at this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=13001971&#13001971 and you might be able to save yourself a trip out with your mac tucked under your arm
Looks like you're not the first to do this and the solutions offered here seem to have a high success rate. Good luck!

How to remove accidentally inserted memory card to dvd drive?

Is there any support online ? Chat maybe ? I accidentally inserted my memory card to the DVD drive ? I just need to talk to somebody before I take it to the store. I don't have the box anymore Please help =(

You can try this - may or may not work: shut down Mac. Unplug everything and very carefully turn it on its side with the slots facing down. Now very gently shake it a bit to see if the card will dislodge.

Import as DNG from Memory card to PC using Win 7?

I import images into My Pictures (Win 7) then convert to DNG when I import into them into Lightroom where I delete and edit. The DNGs are deleted from Lightroom, but CR2 files now on my hard drive are not. Can I import as DNG from memory card to hard drive on PC so they will be deleted as well? Thanks

AFAIK Win 7 does not have any features to Copy/Convert to DNG from your Memory Card to your hard drive.
The import function in Lightroom certainly has this ability within the import dialog menu. Just select the appropriate settings.
This is done from the Library Module in Lightroom.

I just want to be able to print my pictures and know where to send my memory card.

Accidently formated N82's memory card...what can i...

i have accidently formated my n82's memory now i cant find the map/dictionary etc any more, can i reinstall them?
is there anything else i need to install as well?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
There are programs designed to retrieve data from flash memory cards and flash drives.
These programs are not 100% guaranteed to work, and if the card was subsequently over-written with new data (took more photos before trying to recover), the retrieved files may be unusable.
Check with the maker of the flash memory card to see if they offer a free or inexpensive tool for data recovery. Any tool should be able to read any flash memory card.
I use an older Windows data recovery tool from SanDisk. SanDisk currently sells both Windows and OS X versions of their recovery tool called RescuePro in single-user and commercial versions.

I have an iPod G2 with a firewire 400 lead. how can I attach it to my new 13 inch Mac book Pro, is there a 400 to 800 firewire converter. USB lead wont work with the Macbook Pro. iPod used as an external drive to archive memory cards on the go.

My G2 iPod that I use as an external drive to archive memory cards on the go cannot link with my new 13" Macbook Pro cause it uses a firewire 400 lead. It will not work with a USB lead. Is there a firewire 800 ipod lead or converter available? Can any one shed some light on this please?

As far as I know, if a harddrive works with a Macpro, it should work with the Macbook: if your Macbook is low on power, plug in the AC adapter
If your Macbook has a firewire port, then it should be fine. BUt i would do somemore research first.

I had a brand new Mac book pro one month old and the hard drive died. Right before it died I was down loading pictures off a memory card and now they aren't on my memory card! They are wedding pictures I took for a friend and irreplaceable! Please help!!

I had a one month old Mac book pro and the hard drive fried! I was down loading a friends wedding pictures when it stopped working and started heating up. I plugged it in and turned it off as it was making a clicking noise. When I turned it back on the was a grey box with a question mark and nothing else. When I took my memory card out the pictures were gone. I took it back to best buy where I bought it and they said it was dead, needed a new hard drive and all my info is lost! Is there any way to get back those irreplaceable wedding pictures?

There are some data recovery programs (software). I would look into that for the images on the card. When files are deleted, the files are still there, just the headers are removed. That being said, a format of the card or new files written to the card can overwrite deleted files.
The physical hard drive could be thousands of dollars to forensically save, with no guarantee.

Ricoh Media driver 2.10.00.04 no longer works on 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
    Startup items are obsolete in OS X Yosemite
Either remove this or update it so it's compatible with Yosemite.
Get rid of the antivirus software as rkaufmann87 mentioned. It's not needed.
User Launch Agents: ℹ️
    [failed]    com.goacemjobhmmbdlbbfjgifjcojdfnjfm.updater.plist [Click for support][Click for details]
Don't know what this is for. There was no info on Google about it so remove it.
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.
Virtual Memory Information: ℹ️

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.

I cannot seem to load raw images into LR 2.5. I've been using this for years. I always load from memory card, but it gives me an unknown error message. I tried to load from camera, hard drive, & external drive and still will not work. I checked import

I cannot seem to load raw images into LR 2.5. I've been using this for years. I always load from memory card, but it gives me an unknown error message. I tried to load from camera, hard drive, & external drive and still will not work. I checked import menu and nothing has changed. I loaded the photos onto my tablet and images are fine, so do not feel it is the memory card. Any thoughts?

The error message probably said "unsupported or damaged"
The T3 requires Lightroom 3.4.1 or later. You can either upgrade to a more current version of Lightroom (version 5.6 is the most recent) or you can use the free Adobe DNG Converter to convert the RAWs to DNG, which should import into Lightroom properly.

Drive to put the camera memory card

I recently had an installation of Mountain Lion and after that the drive, it means, the space to put the memory card from the camera is not recognizing.
The memory card is working ok on the camera but not on the computer.
Does someone know what can be done.
Thank you
Maria

First, try resetting the PRAM > Resetting the PRAM
If that doesn't help, reset the SMC > Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

Is there any difference in importing movies to iMovie direct from memory card or first importing the movie to the hard drive?

Is there any difference in method:
1) importing movies directly from memory card (class 10) to iMovie
2) copying the content of the memory card to my hard drive and from there I import it to iMovie
I mean, is there any quality issues? The latter method is really much faster.

No.
The copy of the card is a 'bit-identical clone' - no difference to the 'original'.
Plus a superb method to back-up originals....
I copy all my original recordings first onto some hard-drive - SDcards are much to 'fragile' in my experience....

I cannot get my photos to download off my memory card to an external hard drive through bridge on a mac book pro.

i cannot get my photos to download off my memory card to an external hard drive through bridge on a mac book pro. it comes up with a message Cannot write to specified directory. Please choose a different directory.

Do not store them in the Cloud. It isn't really storage. For iTunes purchases, for example, it is just re-downloading a purchase. If a label decides to no longer make the item available it will disap[pear from the cloud and that will be it for you.
You can't store items on an external drive simply by dragging them there. That's too complicated for iTunes and how it is set up to work. I know I post on this 10x a week and there's many other posts discussing this. I suggest you browse a bit first. Your options are basically to either put your whole library on the eternal drive (which is a nuisance if you don't want to drag it everywhere with you), or to copy individual items to the external drive, delete them from the internal drive, then re-add them as new items (re-adding to playlists, etc.).
