How can i get a memory card out if i inserted it in the wrong place?

I was entering a memoery card into my mac when i accidently pushed it in to the CD opening instead of the one right under it that is for memoery cards out of cameras. Now the memoery card is stuck in there and i tried everything but i cant get it out. if any one has any suggestions on what i should do please reply back!!!!

If the card does not come out of the optical drive when you turn the iMac on its side and gently shake it you have a problem. Some users have reported success by inserting a thin piece of card into the drive to dislodge the memory card but you risk damaging the optical drive mechanism/optics or pushing the card in further.
It will be an expensive repair as it will not be covered by warranty. It may be cheaper to 'write-off' the internal drive and by an external OEM USB drive. Do not buy an Apple Superdrive as it will not work.

I am trying to configure my SCXI-1540 card for excitation voltage and frequency using MAX - but it is not giving me that option when I click on the card and then properties, am I looking in the wrong place?

I am trying to configure my SCXI-1540 w/1315 card for excitation voltage and frequency using MAX - but it is not giving me that option when I click on the card and then properties, am I looking in the wrong place?
I have LabVIEW Express 7.0 Professional - SCXI-1000 Chassiss - along with SCXI-1112, and SCXI 1520/1314 - cable to the PCI-6052E is attached to the 1520 card.
MAX says it recognizes all the cards in the chassiss.

Jeremy, Thanks for the reply.
I tried to set up the system as DAQmx.
I had MAX auto-detect the set-up - and it recognized all the cards - but did not select the 1315 accessory on the 1540 card - I had to do that manually - but in the configuration section I would select the accessory and it would deselect itself. I had to get out of the set-up and then right click on the 1540 card and click on the "Accessories" tab and select the 1315 terminal block that way.
It didn't seem right that the system should behave that way, but I pressed onward.
I then tried to create a new DAQmx Task
When I create new DAQmx task and then click on Analog Input no "Position" Tab appears for me to select, all I get are:
Analog>>Voltage
Analog>>Temperature
Ana
log>>Strain
Analog>>Current
Analog>>Resistance
Analog>>Frequency
Analog>>Custom Voltage with Excitation
Do you think there might be something wrong with either my hardware or perhaps my configuration that is not allowing it to recognize the 1540/1315 in DAQmx?
I had included the system report of what programs I am using, etc. as attached file nireport.txt
After the DAQmx did not work I tried installing everything as Traditional DAQ and it did let me set-up the 1540 Card with Excitation Voltage and Frequency and gain - I then went in to the VI that I had built and tried to use the Express DAQ Assisant to read the channel that I am connected to on the 1315/1540 - when I try to use DAQ Assistant it gives me an error saying that "Device not available in NI-DAQmx. It is possible that the device is being use by traditional NI-DAQ"
Which I guess it is since both configurations are now set-up in MAX.
I would PREFER to use the DAQmx set-up, but I am confused as to WHY it won
't come up with
Analog input>>POSITION>>LVDT
When I try to create a new DAQmx task.
Thanks for the help so far! As you can probably tell I am new at this.

Where is the best place to buy memory card?

Where is the best place to buy a memory card for my nokia n73?
And what is the best brand to buy. Do 1gb memory cards work well for a nokia n72?
Please reply,
Thanks.

Bought all my memory cards from mobymemory.com. Got a 1gb sandisk ultra II for £23. Next day delivery for orders before 3 too. Never had any problems and even ordered cards for friends phones. All very happy with price and quality.
P.S. buy the name you know and one size bigger than you think you need. My 1gb has enough room for 300 mp3's or nearer 900 in nokia's format. If pictures are your thing should easy hold over 800 images on the highest setting.

Image browser "memory card utility" downloading to wrong date folder

Mac OSX 10.7, Image Browser 6.9.0.3 (9L)
I own 5Dmarkii and 60D. When I insert memory card, Memory Card Utility (1.7.0.0.9L) launches. I select Download, and program transfers to my computer. No fancy settings, just standard.
Both cameras date setting is correct, and image efix data is correct for date and time shot. Computer system date and time correct.
Pictures taken prior to 5:00pm are filed in a folder with previous days date. Photos after 5:00pm are filed in correct days folder.
Driving me nuts..... Help please

I'm having the same issue. The Canon software behaves as though it catagorizes the photos (and names them, based on the way I'm importing them) based upon what day it was/is in England (I think it uses GMT when making the date classification)
For me, it is also usually an annoyance, but sometimes it's more frustrating. If I want my files named by date, correctly, then I have to re-name all the photos taken after 4:00 pm (16:00).
Yes, my camera (7D) and computer (MacBook Pro) have their date and time settings correct. (I tried changing the time zone my camera was set to to see if it changed the problem, and it didn't. The Canon software is mis-placing the photos based on the date.)
I might try this workflow on a Windows machine, and see if it persists.
Anyone have any ideas?

I recently got a iPad camera connection kit hoping to directly download my photos from the memory card for my camera, a Sony Cybershot. When I put my memory card in the adapter and plug it in to the iPad nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

I recently purchased an iPad camera connection kit hoping to directly download pictures from my camera to my iPad. When I put my memory card into the adapter and plug it in to my iPad nothing happens. My camera is a Sony Cybershot and the memory card is a Sony memory stick PRO duo 512 mb. I don't think I am doing anything incorrect. Is my camera/memory card incompatible with this adapter?

The Camera Connection Kit works with SD cards, not Memory Sticks.
Maybe you can find an MS to SD adapter, or use the USB connection with the USB cable that came with the camera.

Error when trying to view photos downloaded by memory card to printer..

When I put my memory card from my camera in my printer I get the box that gives me options of what I want to do with the photos..When I choose view using Windows Live photo gallery I get:
When I click on view pictures I get :
pharmerbill

Hopefully, I got the thread moved...In the past, if I had them in the wrong place, a monitor would move it to the correct forum...Instead of just griping about it being in the wrong place...SORRY...It's very confusing finding the proper location for your
questions if you're a computer newby...I found this while doing a Firefox plugin check and wonder if maybe this is why Live Photo Gallery doesn't load to view photos when I put my SD card in either the slot in the front of the printer or in the front of my
computer tower..(Altho I don't have Firefox nor Internet Explorer open when I put in the SD card:

How do I download /export my iPhotos to a memory card on my camera?

I am trying to "organize" my camera memory cards, which I want use as a back up rather than just using external or USB drives. I can not find how to Export photos to a new memory card in my camera.
The reason I want to do this is because when I've saved on a USB or External Drive, the photos are zipped, & then when I uploaded back to my mac (when I needed to get a new one), the dpi & KB is really low (270 x 360 & 54 KB compared to over 2000 x 1500 & 255 KB for recent photos!)
The iPhoto help manuals & Apple site helps don't address this exporting, only how to export to Email & the web.
I was told by someone USB & ED's "don't change the size" (it does zip them) & to increase the dpi & KB on those, just "double click" on each photo in the iPhoto app - didn't work! So any other better / real ideas how to increase the dpi/KB would be more than welcome, as I can't print any of my older photos, the size is too small!
Mille Grazie, Gracias, Merci, Danka
PS - My camera is a Canon Power Shot A590. Last time this was discussed was in 2006, & suggested to "buy a usb plug in card reader & drag photos ..."

PS - My camera is a Canon Power Shot A590. Last time this was discussed was in 2006, & suggested to "buy a usb plug in card reader & drag photos ..."
Still the answer since Canon Camera's will not mount to the desktop
I am trying to "organize" my camera memory cards, which I want use as a back up rather than just using external or USB drives.
Why? memory cards are not very reliable - using Time Machine and an external hard drive is a MUCH better way to backup - I run TM so I have hourly backups - do a daily bootable clone - ane I never have iPhoto delete my photos when I import them so I have the originals too - and if you really want a backup on your memory card this is the way to have one - do not delete when importing
The reason I want to do this is because when I've saved on a USB or External Drive, the photos are zipped, & then when I uploaded back to my mac (when I needed to get a new one), the dpi & KB is really low (270 x 360 & 54 KB compared to over 2000 x 1500 & 255 KB for recent photos!)
This is user error - not in any way a function of backing up to an external Drive - a properly done backup and restore gives you exactly what you had whe you did the backup - that is the whole purpose of a backup - and it works perfectly if done correctly
I was told by someone USB & ED's "don't change the size" (it does zip them) & to increase the dpi & KB on those, just "double click" on each photo in the iPhoto app - didn't work! So any other better / real ideas how to increase the dpi/KB would be more than welcome, as I can't print any of my older photos, the size is too small
this is a very cofussed set of statements
1 - no backup "changes the size" of the photos - the entire purpose of a backup is to have an exact copy available in case of problems
2 - Most backups do not zip photos - some do - zipping does not change the content when you unzip
3 - DPI is not an atribute of a photo - it is a mathmatical caculation - dots (pixels) divided by inches - you do not have DPI until you have inches (either a display or a print)
4 - the only way to "change" DPI is ot change inches - for a given photo the only way DPI can be increased is by printing a smaller photo - decreasing inches
5 - the KB of a photo is not material - the only things that is interesting is the pixel dimensions - and you can not make them larger
Basically you are chasing the wrong things - buy an external drive formatted Mac OS extended that is 2 1/2 times the size of your main drive and run Time Mahcine all the time with its default settings

IPhoto - My iPhoto is not responding. When I click on iPhoto I get a never ending spinning beachball. I almost think it is looking in the wrong place for the pictures. How do I redirect it back to the Mac hard drive?

My iPhoto is not responding. Whenever I click on the iPhoto icon I get a twirling beachball. It is as if the machine is looking in the wrong place for the photos. How can I see where the machine is looking to find out if this is really the problem. How can I see the path?

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it doesn't then the problem lies with your current library.
If that's the case Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

HP Pavilion Elite e9280t Desktop - Memory Card Reader Stopped Working

Hello,
         I have a HP Pavilion Elite e9280t CTO Desktop PC ... The memory card reader recently stopped working. I believe, maybe the firmware, and/or driver was deleted by one of my optimization softwares. I checked the "Device Manager" list and was unable to locate "any" memory card device.  All the USB plugs work fine. When I place an SD card in the memory card reader slot, the light comes on, but the computer does not recognize the card. The card does not show up in my "Computer" window with the other drives. I checked the card out on my other computer, and it worked fine.   I also have an HP laptop that I tested my SD cards on, and the cards worked fine on my laptop.
        I would appreciate any help, or suggestions, that any one might give.
                                                                                                                                                                     Thank You

What iTunes files are on the phone's Memory Card?

I've searched extensivelyand tried everything to try to get my ROKR to connect as a source in iTunes with no avial. Does not connect as storage device and I cannot query the modem. Anyways, I can put the memory card in my camera and it can read the contents. I was inquiring to see what files itunes puts on the memory card in order to use the itunes on my phone. If got itunes on my computer and could easily drag the files to my camera and place back in my phone. If I could just put the necessary files in the itunes folder on the phones memory card. I just need to know what files it puts on the phone''s memory card, such as iTunes Music Library.xml, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Music, Album Artwork, etc. Any information reagarding my problem would be greatly appreciated.

I can rip my itunes to a memory card, but the LG Chocolate phone thinks the card is empty. Did you get your music on your phone?

How do I specify folder and file options for memory cards in LR4?

I have read the sections Set import and file-handling preferences and Specify Auto Import settings in the manual. But they don't seem to answer my question. The other stuff that's written about importing files in Lightroom seem to only cover the import of photos to the Lightroom catalog, which is not my primary concern, although I do want them imported to the catalog as well. But before the photos can go to the Lightroom catalog they need to be improted, in other words copied over from the memory card to the local disk drive. Simply put, all I want is for Lightroom to take over the responsibility from Canon EOS Utility and behave the same way when importing/copying files to the local disk drive. How do I set up Lightroom to do just that?
I just want this type of folder and file structure:
J:\2010_08_02\IMG_0037.JPG
J:\2010_08_02\IMG_0039.JPG
J:\2010_08_22\IMG_0372.CR2
J:\2010_08_22\IMG_0372.JPG
J:\2010_11_29\IMG_1405.CR2
J:\2010_11_29\IMG_1405.JPG
J:\2011_06_17\IMG_2887.CR2
J:\2011_06_17\IMG_2887.JPG
... etc!
1. First things first, where the heck do I specify the destination folder for new photos?
There is an option titled Show import dialog when a memory card is detected under the General tab in Preferences, but there is no folder destination option associated with this.
2. How do I tell Lightroom to leave original file names as they are (i.e. IMG_2887.CR2) and place them in a new sub-folder (i.e. 2011_06_17) of the destination folder (J:\) named after the capture date of the photo (July 17, 2011)?
There are a few options under the File Handling tab in the Preferences, but they don't seem to concern the importation of files to the local disk drive.
3. This maybe should have been the first question really; is Lightroom capable of importing files from the camera or a card reader to the local disk drive at all?
I sure would expect it to be able to do that, but from the looks of it I am not too confident about that.
For starters I would like it to just copy my photo files, either directly from camera or from a card reader to a destination folder of my choice, in the same fashion that Canon EOS Utility does it. I don't wat to just import the files to the Lightroom catalog and start working with the files directly from camera or memory card. Hell no! It's not an external disk drive for God's sake!
Please advise!

I'm not sure how it is now, but there used to be a dedicated "photo downloader" in Adobe Photoshop Elements at least up to version 6. Is this still part of Photoshop Elements? Or is it just available in Adobe Bridge? I don't remember though if it only imported files to the local disk drive or if it also added them to the library/catalog.
I've tested Downloader Pro and Lightroom 4 now for importing the photos to local disk drive. I also tested one application called Cam2PC Image Downloader.
The latter is actually called Cam2PC Image Browser and as its name suggests it's a software for browsing and doing basic changes to the photos, an image organizer. But it has a dedicated downlaoder called Cam2PC Image Downloader that can be very useful for importing photos. It comes either as a payed version or a freeware version.
I also tested one called Smart Photo Import. This one could be a good alternative to Downloader Pro, but I think it still needs many improvements, and it lacks a lot of the functionality of Downloader Pro. But to be fair, this does cost half as much as Downloader Pro (13 EUR or 17 USD compared to 30 USD).
I am most impressed by Downloader Pro. It has everything I could ask for really. But I was most impressed by its speed. I've done a simple speed test to see which one is faster and here are the results.
Downloader Pro
324 files (162 JPG & 162 CR2)
Max speed: 21,25 MB/s
Time: 02:58.6
Lightroom 4
Set to render "Standard" previews
324 files (162 JPG & 162 CR2)
Max speed: N/A
Time: 03:41.7
Compared to Downloader Pro: 78% done at 02:58.6
Rendering time: 04:35.5
Total: 08:16.12
Cam2PC Image Downloader
324 files (162 JPG & 162 CR2)
Max speed: N/A
Time: 03:30.6
The max speed is the maximum transfer speed that ever occured during the transfer, and this is not something that the application is showing on it's own, it's the highest speed that I have seen with my own eyes. Unfortunately the other applications had no way of showing the speed, only Downloader Pro could show the speed. That's why it says N/A (as in not available).
As you can see Downloader Pro did the same job in shortest amount of time. Note that I could be transfering 2 or 3 cards worth of photos for the time it takes Lightroom to transfer just one.
The memory card was full when I started the test. It was a 4 GB Sandisk Ultra 30 MB/s card. The card reader was a Lexar USB 3.0 Professional. Although it was connected to a USB 2.0 port on Intel chipset motherboard (Intel X38, ICH9R). The destination folder was set to Desktop\(name of the application) on a Seagate 500 GB SATA (ST3500320AS) disk. All done on a Windows Vista PC with SP2.
One way to make Lightroom do this job more quickly is to choose "minimum" as previews rendering option. This way it doesn't spend as much time rendering the photos after being copied to the disk drive. Now, I have not tested this but I believe that Lightroom can start a second import of a second memory card whilst the first one is being copied. I'm not sure how it would affect the speed though, and you would need two card readers for this.
I wish I could skip rendering previews alltogether. I like to leave adding photos to the catalog and rendering previews for the last step. This is because it takes so long time and I like to use 1:1 previews, so I like leaving Lightroom to do this job in the morning or over the night.
I have learned to use prests now in the import dialog of Lightroom. So now it should not be a problem if I always want to copy new photos to the same location. If this location is changed I can recall it simply by choosing my preset. This is very handy.
All in all, Lightroom is very good at importing photos from camera or from a memory card reader to the local disk drive. But it's now my preferred way of importing photos to the computer. Which is why I have decided to purchase Downloader Pro. Thanks all for your help. I appreciate it!

Error when trying to connect to memory card on Officejet Pro 8600 in WLAN

Hi All,
Since I upgraded my MacBook Pro and iMac to Mavericks I can no longer access my memory card that is inserted to my HP Officjet Pro 8600. Connection is WLAN infrastructure. However I also tried the Wireless Direct connection (no router) but still I receive the same error message.
"There is a probelem connection to the server "192.168....". There are no shares available or you are not allowed to access them on the server. Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem."
In order to access the memory card, via Go - Connect to server, I used the smb://192.168... as well as the cifs://192.168... but it fails in both cases. I still have another partition on the MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion and from there it works fine to access my memory card.
Anyone out there who has a clue what is wrong in Mavericks?

Not sure that Mavericks has a problem. I can still connect to the SD card mounted in my Canon MG6360 via wireless.
Not sure if the HP is the same but with the Canon I have to add a path after the network address - ex smb://IP_address/canon_memory. If I just enter the IP address then I cannot connect to the printer. Maybe there is a similar requirement with the HP?
