My iMac won't recognise sandisc ultra cf8gb card reader

I have an Imac 21 inch  screen. I need help to transfer photos. I have tried two different cardreaders with a Sandisk ultra compact flash card. In turn, I have connected each reader to each of the  usb  ports at the back of the computer and in every case nothing happens. Nothing appears on the screen. Nothing appears in IPhoto.  How do I get the computer to download the photos?
Thanks
Ray.

How do I save them from the XD card
The Sony or Fuji?
You say it works with the Fuji.
I'm not sure what to tell you about the Sony - I don't use any Sony products. Regardless, it should work. If the reader works with other cards/computers and if the card works in other computers, I am out of ideas. Maybe someone else will chime in with another idea - my last one is to take your card(s), reader, and Mac and book an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar - advice is free there.

  • Since updating to Lion the iMac won't recognise the external hard drive (maxtor) when waking from sleep mode,

    Hi All, Since updating to Lion, my imac won't recognise the ext HDD (Maxtor) when waking from sleep mode, I have tried another port, diisc utility (Ext HDD not listed in here) but nothing works. I now find that I have to restart the imac to get the drive recognised..which is fine until the imac goes into sleep mode then I lose the drive and have to restart etc etc.....anyone suffering same issue.  The Ext Drive worked perfectly until the upgrade..

    Thanks for this, and apologies for delay in replying...in between seeing your post I backed up the ext hdd to another mac and used the disc utility to erase and repair and then re mounted the ext hdd. OK.  I have then tested the ext hdd being recognised when waking from sleep mode a few times and everything appears to be fine. If this doesn't work (long term) I will follow the instructions as you have suggested....
    I now have a new problem with my HP printer (Photosmart Plus) which is not being recognised by a new wireless router..Ok whilst the router is switch on and I have reconfigured the printer..but when the router is switched off overnight and then switched back on...I get a 'printer is not connected' message and have to go through the re configure routine all over. I am minded to think this is a router problem as the same issue is happening to my wifes Mac Book Pro (which is only a few weeks old)...any suggestions..

  • How do I reinstall CS5.5 if my iMac won't recognise my discs?

    I had the hard drive on my iMac replaced recently.
    Although I backed up all my InDesign files, I did not back up my CS5 applications as I have the oringal discs
    When I tried re installing CS5.5 my iMac did not recognise the discs at all and then spat them out after a few seconds with a whirring noise coming from what must've been the DVD drive I guess.
    I phoned Adobe who said there is a known issue with reinstalling (CS5.5) discs.
    They also told me there are no CS5.5 downloads available, which was interesting as I found a CS5 forum which had a link to download CS5. I tried this link and it didn't work.
    The Adobe help person suggested I stick my CS5 discs onto another iMac and then copy these CS5 files onto this iMac's desktop. From this desktop, I then copied my CS5 onto an external hard drive. I then plugged this external hard drive back onto my iMac (with the replacement hard drive) and copied all these CS5.5 files back onto my desktop. I then opened the install file and the installation process started working fine until I got a message saying,' Please insert Disk CS5_5 Mstr Coll 2 to continue'.
    And now I'm truly stuck as my iMac won't accept, or read, my CS5 discs. Any ideas on how to sort this out?
    BTW - I also tried setting up a new user profile. That didn't work

  • My iMac won't recognise blank cd-r's.

    My Imac, mid 2007, processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo won't recognise black cd's.  It will recognise normal cd-r's and dvd's but not blank cd-r's.  The cd drive makes a whiring sound like it's trying to accept the cd-r, then after 5-6 seconds, to ejects it again.

  • IMac won't recognise external hard drive

    My iMac with OSX 10.8.4 won't recognise my external disk drive via either Firewire or USB Cable. It also doesn't show up on desktop or in Disk Utility. Disk drive and cables work fine with my old computer on Snow Leopard. It also wouldn't recognise my old computer via Firewire, when I tried to migrate info across to it (this was before updating system to 10.8.4). However, flash drives show up fine. Any suggestions?

    The EHD is a 2.5" WD SATA
    Two things:
    1) WD drives are fine. It's their enclosures that are useless. I had a desktop WD drive that was nothing but trouble with an older PPC Mac and a newer Intel iMac. Stalled, overheated, and generally made it impossible to use Time Machine.
    I ripped the WD bare drive from the enclosure and dropped it in an OWC Mercury Elite Pro and now the WD drive that apparently was the Devil's Own is working flawlessly.
    2) Drives that must get all their power from the USB cable can fail to be recognized. As electric motors wear, they can demand more powr. Eventually they need more power than any USB port can provide.
    Always get a desktop drive for a desktop computer. Having suffered through serveral "Name-brand" external drives, I now spend the extra money for the OWC products. They are made for Mac and very reliable.
    Possible fixes for your old drive:
    1) First, make sure the computer is set to "see" the drive. By default, it is not. While in the Finder, open Finder Preferences and make sure "External Disks" is checked:
    2) Reformat it as "Macintosh Extended (Journaled)" with Disk Utility. That often wakes up the drive.
    3) Get a POWERED USB hub. It makes up the power the drive can't get from teh port.

  • My iMac won't recognise new DVD's

    Post install of latest Lion updates (10.7.3(11D50), both my iMacs will no longer recognise new DVD's or CD's but will read previously recorded disks - Can anyone advise what I should do here?

    Same deal.
    iMac 3.06 27, 16 GB RAM, Mavericks 10.9.4, DVD version 5.8.0
    I tried multiple pre-recorded (i.e., "bought as new, in-store or online, from OEM") DVDs, including Star Trek: TNG from any season, several movies from different companies/production years/studios.  All are cycled for about 10-30 seconds and then ejected.  All discs are pristine, and I carefully checked them with an air duster before inserting them in the slot.  Ok, this is starting to sound pornographic.  Queue the cheesy music...
    Note that music CDs are accepted and read by the same machine/setup.
    I have to say, I'm really noticing a serious downturn in customer service response and overall product quality ever since Steve is gone, not that I strongly believe that to be the reason.  It's just hard to ignore the correlation even if it doesn't mean causation.

  • IMac won't recognise USB MIDI keyboard in Audio MIDI Setup

    I upgraded earlier in the week from a G4 eMac to a new Intel iMac. All appeared well until I tried to use my Evolution MK-361 USB midi keyboard from inside Logic. No midi events were coming through the system.
    After some fiddling around I found the Audio MIDI Setup utility and the keyboard is not listed as a device in there. However, if I open System Profiler and select the USB information I can see that the keyboard is connected. According to the E-Magic web site this model of keyboard is class compliant and so shouldn't need a driver installed.
    Originally I had the keyboard plugged into a USB hub. I've tried restarting the machine, restarting the machine with the cable plugged into different USB ports and different USB cables plugged into different USB ports. I've also downloaded all the latest OS / firmware / application updates and installed them.
    I reconnected the keyboard to my old eMac and it shows up on there so I know it's not a fault in the keyboard itself.
    The only other bits of gear connected to the machine are a Lacie external hard drive and my Saffire but these are firewire device so I wouldn't expect them to cause a problem (they certainly didn't on the eMac).
    If anyone has any ideas I would seriously appreciate the help. As you can imagine I'm pretty gutted having forked out a grand for the machine.
    Cheers

    iMac (Intel)   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hi Jon
    So much for plug and play
    Yeah, it's great isn't it?
    I emailed M-Audio tech support about it and apparently it's a known problem in 10.4.8 and they're waiting for a fix from Apple. I guess I'll just have to keep my eyes peeled for OS updates and go rummaging under the stairs for a midi cable instead.
    Ho hum.

  • B43 won't recognise Broadcom 4312 wireless card

    I've had a Dell XPS M1530 laptop for a few weeks now. It's got a Dell 1395 wireless card, which is actually a disguised Broadcom 4312 card.
    lspci recognises it as such:
    [sander@lappy686 ~]$ lspci | grep -i broadcom
    0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
    The card works fine with the properietary broadcom-wl drivers. I'm using these right now, in fact.
    However, I'd like to use b43 if at all possible, because:
    - b43 supports monitor mode;
    - broadcom-wl drivers are proprietary, whereas the b43 ones are open.
    I have followed the guide on the wiki to extract the firmware from the proprietary drivers:
    [sander@lappy686 ~]$ sudo ls /lib/firmware/b43/
    a0g0bsinitvals4.fw a0g0initvals9.fw a0g1initvals5.fw b0g0bsinitvals9.fw lp0bsinitvals13.fw lp0initvals15.fw pcm5.fw ucode4.fw
    a0g0bsinitvals5.fw a0g1bsinitvals13.fw a0g1initvals9.fw b0g0initvals13.fw lp0bsinitvals14.fw n0absinitvals11.fw ucode11.fw ucode5.fw
    a0g0bsinitvals9.fw a0g1bsinitvals5.fw b0g0bsinitvals13.fw b0g0initvals4.fw lp0bsinitvals15.fw n0bsinitvals11.fw ucode13.fw ucode9.fw
    a0g0initvals4.fw a0g1bsinitvals9.fw b0g0bsinitvals4.fw b0g0initvals5.fw lp0initvals13.fw n0initvals11.fw ucode14.fw
    a0g0initvals5.fw a0g1initvals13.fw b0g0bsinitvals5.fw b0g0initvals9.fw lp0initvals14.fw pcm4.fw ucode15.fw
    when I insert the b43 module (sudo modprobe b43), the following shows up in /var/log/everything.log:
    Nov 7 20:58:36 lappy686 Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PMLR, Firmware-ID: FW13 ]
    ... and nothing more. I was told that this isn't normal
    The actual problem is that no network interface shows up in ifconfig / iwconfig. The only ones that are there are lo and eth0 (wired ethernet). When I use broadcom-wl, the wireless interface shows up as "eth1".
    I have also tried to extract the firmware from some older versions of the driver, but the same thing happens. What's curious is that it'll still say "Firmware-ID: FW13" in /var/log/everything.log...
    So, anybody have any clues? I guess it's not that urgent, but it sucks that I have to use a  proprietary driver. The only other option I haven't tried is ndiswrapper, and frankly, I'm not sure I want to

    On my machine:
    lspci | grep -i broadcom
    03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02)
    0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)
    dmesg | grep -i broadcom
    b43-phy0: Broadcom 4311 WLAN found
    Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PMLR, Firmware-ID: FW13 ]
    grep MODULES /etc/rc.conf
    MODULES=(b43 !b44 !pcspkr !snd_pcsp)
    I wanted to look at the MODULES section on your machine because, indeed, I was planning to suggest something along the lines of "b43 !wl". Now I suppose that it would not work (as you seem to have already tried it).

  • 5230 - Won't recognise 16GB SDHC Memory Card, but ...

    Hi, I have the Nokia 5230 smartphone.I used an old 256MB Micor SD card for a month with no problems.
    However, I have just brought a new 16GB Micro SD SDHC memory card. Upon insertion it worked first time - I could download music etc. 12 hours later, I couldn't play the music I'd downloaded and  when I opened the card in 'file manager' was told "memory card corrupted". However, when I connected the phone to my PC in 'mass storage' mode I was able to access all of the music. i.e. the card was still working fine as far as my PC was concerned, but the phone would not recognise it. (In PC Suite mode, the card was not recognised)
    I reformatted in FAT32 mode. Again it started fine, but about 12 hours later my phone stopped playing in the middle of the song and again file manager stated "memory card corrupted".
    Any thoughts?
    Is it the phone not working with a 16GB SDHC card?
    Or is the card? - it was brought from Hong Kong of ebay....grateful for a quick response, as I need to know whether to send it back!
    Thanks,
    Primo

    Or is the card? - it was brought from Hong Kong of ebay....grateful for a quick response, as I need to know whether to send it back!
    Contact Pay Pal first   then send it back and never ever buy memory from HK.
    You could connect in mass storage mode and run scan disc  .

  • How can I wipe my imac hard drive if the imac is not recognising my keyboard

    I fell into the same trap many others have with installing Windows via bootcamp & not setting up the hard drive formatting properly. So I've got a "Disk error. Press any key to restart message."
    I've tried pressing command to get it to boot into OS and using 'c' to get it to boot from the OS cd. But my mouse and keyboard are not being recognised so these don't work.
    I'm thinking that there must be a way to wipe the hard drive so I can reinstall OS. I thought it may work to connect it to another computer in target disk mode, but the iMac won't recognise me pressing T. Would anyone know whether there is any other way I can wipe the hard drive or otherwise get OS back running?

    If your keyboard is a wireless one, wait until the startup chimes sound and then immediately press the appropriate key.
    If your keyboard is a non-Apple one, then startup commands may not be embedded. In this case, using an Apple keyboard should work, such as the original one that came with the machine.
    The key to hold down to bring up Startup Manager during booting is the Option key, not the Command key.

  • My iMac doesn't recognise some photos on my Kingston camera card won't download on to my iMac

    My iMac doesn't recognise some photos on my Kingston camera card but recigognises others. How can I get it to download the rest of my photos?

    I'm using iPhoto. I have downloaded some off the same card but every now and then it refuses to recognise all of them. Can't figure out why as I perform the same action each time.

  • IMac won't play DVDs but will play CDs

    For some reason my late '09 iMac won't play DVDs, at least not often. I was watching a DVD on it yesterday, left the disc in to go downstairs, and when I came back it wouldn't play again. It now doesn't even recognise that there is a DVD in it, but just spits it out again after a few seconds. I imported a couple of CDs to iTunes with it yesterday, it generally seems fine with CDs, but it has a big problem with DVDs. Any ideas on what I can do to solve this?

    Hi Marcus
    It sounds like the DVD drive heads have gone out of position and the drive needs to be replaced. Contact your dealer or Apple.

  • Itunes won't recognise password

    I'm trying to de-authorize an older computer but itunes won't recognise my password... I know I'm using the correct one because 1 - i just re-set it and 2 I'm using it right now on my laptop to log in and post this question...
    The computer I'm trying to de-authorize is an old imac (the one with the movable screen) running osx 10.4.11...
    Any suggestions?

    Just dealt with this...I unplugged my ApTV and moved it to another television; this is why the trouble began.  The date and time wouldn't update, so hitting menu didn't help and home sharing wouldn't recognize our password.  Reset my password on iTunes -- everything else took it except for ApTV.  We reset ApTV a few times, same issue...
    We rebooted our router!  BINGO!
    Works perfectly again!
    Good luck but definately try rebooting your router first -- it will save you the frustration, believe me.
    Cheers!

  • My computer won't recognise my ipod shuffle

    my computer won't recognise my ipod shuffle

    So I recently had this same problem.  My Shuffle 2nd gen would not be recognized by my iTunes.  It had been a few years since i used it and at one point may have been connected to iTunes on a PC.  After several tries at troubleshooting, I realized that maybe the device is corrupted.  Since my iMac would not recognize the Shuffle, I connected to a PC and it appeared as a disk.  I reformatted the Shuffle in FAT32, plugged it back into my iMac and iTunes recognized it just fine but as a new device.  So if you have access to a PC, reformat it there and then try your Mac iTunes again. 

  • I've just updated my iPhone to the new iPhone OS and now it won't work and iTunes won't recognise that it's there.  I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled twice and it's not working.  Please help.

    I've just updated my iPhone to the new iPhone OS and now it won't work and iTunes won't recognise that it's there.  I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled twice and it's not working.  Please help.

    I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version.  I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again.  I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again.  My blue tooth doesn't work either.  I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this.  When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue.  My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!!  I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue.  Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it.  Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
    June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.
