Problems with SD (or other) Memory card.  Won't work in reader

I bought a Sandisk Ultra II SD card (2GB) and it wouldn't work in my Lacie reader.
When I plugged it in, I got the device not recognized message, asking if I wanted to initialize or eject. Initializing with Disk Utility did NOT work.
The reader works fine with 512MB and 1GB sd cards.
So, I went to a friend who has the latest Lacie reader (and an intel iMac) and it worked great over there. I borrowed the reader and it works great on my PM G5.
Conclusion: With the new fast and/or large capacity cards, you may need to upgrade your reader. If possible go to an apple store and see if your memory card works in a reader there, just to be sure, before purchasing!
Good Luck

Try initializing the card in the camera in which it will be used. This often gives more consistent results, and is recommended over letting the Mac format the card.

  • Nice to see 13" retina but it has only Intel HD Graphics 4000 and does not have NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory card. How it will affect the speed, performance and other things compared to 15" retina where NVIDIA GeForce card is available.

    The 15" Retina's will have better performance than any 13" Retina. Not only do the 15" machines have dedicated GPU's, but they also have quad-core processors, whereas the 13" Retina's only have dual-core processors.

  • 4GB Camera Memory Card won't download-Does nothing

    My camera memory card does nothing when I insert it into my computer.  It always worked before.  I don't understand why it won't now. How can I fix this issue? I insert the memory card and nothing happens.  Is there a driver I can download?
    Please advise.

    So the phone won't work with two different memory cards?
    This points to it being a problem with the phone, not the cards.
    You should contact the retailer or network about the fault or take your phone to a nokia care point.

    To use a memory card in a PC to recover your files you need to use a card reader. They are quite cheap and can be found at most computer stores.

  • 6680 Themes from memory card won't show

    I've been having this problem lately wherein themes that i saved and apply from my memory card won't appear when the phone gets turned on again. It gets back to its "Nokia" theme. It works if I save it on my phone memory but it's quite an inconvenience since my phone memory is already low. everything was working fine before until just recently. Is there any way I could fix this? I'm starting to get annoyed seeing the default theme everytime I start my phone. Hope someone could help me with this. Thanks.

  • I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB)

    I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB). When I play video formats like xvid, mkv, avi iMac freezes and emits horrible sound,in service said the problem is not overheating. Not a problem with memory or hard disk because I placed second correct parts.The same problem is with OSX 10.6.8 and 10.8.4 and other players.Apple hardware test found no problem and tech tool pro found no fault.
    After five days of testing in the service they can not  found fault and it was decided to change the graphics card.
    New graphics have been tested for two days but it is not reproduced divx ... but their test software which did not find any fault on the old graphics...
    Do I have the right to complain if repair does not fix the problem because I use non apple softwere and video formats.

    You could look at the System Profile for the info it presents for the card.  But why wouldn't you think it's not up to date if you have the latest install (according to your sig above)?
    What program are you trying to run?  Is there anything in the system log? 
    I think it's the program that's having the problem and not anything with your video software.

  • Dm4-1060us laptop SD Card Reader 5-in-1 question. Does it work with SDHC and SDXC memory cards?

    dm4-1060us laptop SD Card Reader 5-in-1 question. Does it work with SDHC and SDXC memory cards?

    This cart reader is a kind of multi card reader and you can use different cards with it. In my opinion every multi device should be used very, but very gently. I do not know what happened exactly in your case but maybe you have damaged something inside.
    Try to restart your notebook and use other SD card to check if everything works well. Please do it very gently and if you see something is wrong stop with inserting the card.
    I use 1 GB SD card on my A200 without any problems.
    In my opinion you should check notebook by technician.
    Bye and good luck!

    Is this the error you are getting when you are installing AIR 3.0?  Or is this the error you are getting after you've already installed AIR 3.0 and attempting to run AIR applications?  If it's the latter, which applications are you trying to run?  Can you please send us your logs so that we can investigate further?  Thanks!

    Hmm, so that person had a conflicting plug in.

  • Using a IP191 monitor, have random horizontal streaks on display - have no problem with other browsers; also no problem with FF on other family PC's

    Using a IP191 monitor, have random horizontal streaks on display - have no problem with other browsers; also no problem with FF on other family PC's.
    These "streaks" appear to be area of too high frequency scanning; they can be cleared by scrolling up and/or down.

    hello, maybe that's an issue with hardware acceleration - please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] > options > advanced > general''.

  • I purchased Microsoft Office for Mac through the Apple website.. I have downloaded all from the disk into my Mac, no problem with all the other Word etc, but Outlook is asking for the key number: I have put it in but its obviously not the right one...????

In the box with the disk came the product key, have put it in and it doesnt work. Please help..x

    unfortunately - you can not.  you can't even buy outlook by itself at microsoft's own website.
    does it have to be outlook?  maybe you can get away with using something else that's outlook compatible.
    how about trying Thunderbird for Mac OS?
    or maybe you can call apple and let them know you purchase the wrong version - they might give you a break and just pay the difference for the home and business version.
    good luck

  • Lexar 1 GB CF Card won't work in SanDisk SDDR-80

    Anyone have any thoughts on why my Lexar 1 GB CF card won’t mount when used in my SanDisk Firewire Imagemate CompactFlash Card Reader (model SDDR-80)?
    The card works fine in my USB1 SanDisk CF reader. The card also works fine using a PC card adapter on my PowerBook. It will not mount on either my PowerBook or G5 using the firewire reader, but the firewire reader does work with SanDisk 512 MB cards. I am running Mac OS 10.4.3 on both the PowerMac G5 and PowerBook G4.
    I’ve searched google, Apple Discussions and SanDisk’s support site and can’t seem to find anything relevant, but it is hard to get past all the stores on google.
    It appears that the OS doesn’t recognize the card in any way. Even when I pull the card out of the reader, I don’t get an error message that the disc wasn’t ejected properly. I’ve tried plugging in the reader with the card already in it, and I’ve tried plugging in the reader and then inserting the card. I do believe that I have seen the Lexar card/SanDisk reader work before, but only 15-20% of the time, and never under conditions that I have been able to repeat.
    Just as a test, I plugged in the reader/card to my iBook, running 10.3.9. System profiler shows the card reader, but the card doesn’t mount.

    I have the exact same problem with the Lexar 80x 1GB card with my Delkin CardBus32 reader. Disc Utility sees it, but says:
