Recommendations for xd card reader

I'm a new Mac user and just recently discovered that I cannot simply insert my XD memory cards into my laptop. Before I go spend money, I was wondering if anyone has a good recommendation for a card reader that they've used with success? I would really appreciate the help - thanks!

Card readers are extremely inexpense. They all seem to work just fine.

Recommend an SD Card reader,

I have been using a dazzle card reader, pretty old now and big, but it is easy recognised by my OSX.10.5, I have tried using a stick on-USB2 brought off ebay-just does not work? can you recommend a SD card reader for OSX 10.5?

There's a previous thread with many recommendations, I have the Sandisk Extreme Reader (USB2)that comes with a little stand, and it works 'awesome' with the MacPro and PC.

Could anyone recommend a reliable card reader for my MacBook Pro please?

Hi,
Looking for a reliable card reader for compact flash and SD cards for my MacBook Pro. Would anyone be able to recommend one please? Most reviews I've read only seem to mention Windows and I'm not sure whether they are Mac compatible.
Many thanks, Karen

Karen,
Hi, what year is you macbook pro? Is it the Early 2008 one with the grey keyboard, or the newer ones with black keys? If you have the grey keyboard macbook pro I use the Sandisk card reader:
For the newer MacBook Pro's a usb card reader works well in addition to the sd card reader built in the MacBook Pro. They are making thunderbolt card readers now for a low price:http://computers.pricegrabber.com/flash-memory-readers-accessories/SmartDisk-THU NDERBOLT-SD-STICK-WRITER-USB/m16520521.html

Please recommend a CF card reader for Mac

I have a iMac (Intel) desktop and also a Windows based PC. I use the newer Mac to process JPEG photos in Lightroom 3, but here's the catch: most of the time my older Sandisk ImageMate 8-in-1 CF reader does not show up in LR3 (I connect the USB plug directly to the back of the Mac's USB slot). It works just fine with the PC. So it may be a hardware problem and I am willing to invest in a new Mac compatible card reader. My Mac runs on OS X (Lion).
Can someone recommend a Mac OS X-compatible CF card reader? I'm getting desperate.

While it is highly probable that getting a new reader will fix your problem one thing in your post gives me pause. You say that most of the time it doesn't show up, but sometimes it does?
You would think that a comparability problem would be an either or situation. It either works or it doesn't. I would check out a few things first before buying a new reader.
First I'd try a different cable, even if this cable works OK on the PC. Second would be to use a differtn USB port on the Mac. Then I would open Image Capture and see if the reader shows up there. Finally open System Information (in te Utilities folder) and in the hardware section select USB with the card reader attached. See if it shows up in the devices.

Can't find drivers for memory card reader

I downgraded my laptop to Windows 7 and now recently i did a clean install again, and i can't find the card reader driver again to read sd cards, i tried using hp site to recognize my hardware and they say " there is no drivers for your product" or something like that, which is weird because i know that there is many drivers for Windows 7 i even downloaded some a long time ago...i think Hp Support Solutions Framework is broken, and Hp Support Assistant software for pc don't return me drivers too...
This question was solved.

Satellite Pro A200 - Need Windows 7 driver for flash card reader

I have changed from Vista to Windows 7 on my Satellite A200-20N, and now I can't use the flash card reader in it. I have already looked for drivers, but I only find one for vista, also tried to install it, but was not successful.
How could I use my flash card reader under Windows 7?

Hi
Unfortunately I think you can only use the Vista driver and normally they also work on Windows 7.
Maybe you can explain what not successful means exactly
Furthermore you can try a newer card reader driver from another notebook model, e. g. Satellite A300.

Recommendations for graphics card update

I have a dual processor 867MHz MDD G4 and am thinking of putting in a better graphics card - primarily to (a) see the transparent menu bar in Leopard and (b) improve performance by using any available hardware acceleration on the card instead of CPU clock cycles.
Any recommendations please?

Hi-
The ATI Technologies RADEON 9800 PRO MAC EDITION 4x AGP graphics card will give you the performance boost you're looking for. Core Image and Quartz Extreme are supported with this card, which are needed for embedded OS effects.

Need recommendations for graphics card

What's out there that is about as good as it gets? My Mac Pro can use a better card. Didn't realize how bad it was until we got a new Mac 17" laptop.
I'm assuming a change involves no more than extracting the old card, inserting a new one. And running an install for it. Right?

No software install is needed. The drivers are in the current OSX.

Recommendations for Wireless Card?

I am thinking of getting a new wireless card for my laptop because my wireless connection is very weak at home. We all use a router, however my sister in the room next to me has flawless connection on her Windows laptop. It was suggested to me to look into getting a networking card that matches my Linksys router for stronger wireless connection, but I was hoping for some more advice. I do not know where to look first or how to start searching.

Some WiFi issues are known to be fixed simply by upgrading to 10.4.11. To upgrade to 10.4.11, follow my FAQ*:

Others may be fixed by following my FAQ*:

Searching for SD-Card-Reader of M30x for Linux (Debian)

Hi all,
googeling I didn't find a way to get my sd-card working under linux. As far as I understood there are no drivers.
Well, Microsoft not being an alternative in my case I really need a work around short of switching notebooks and external card readers.
Can anybody piont me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance!
Niko

Hello Niko
I dont know which Satellite notebook model you have but, as far as I know, mostly units have driver for multicard reader. Unfortunately Linux is by Toshiba not supported and because of that it will be very difficult to find something there.
Check please Linux section on this forum and you will find some interesting Linux links. Maybe you will find something interesting there.

Is There Updated Site For P2 Card Reader Drivers?

Hey my friend just got Final Cut 6 on his new macbook pro and he wants me to help him find the proper drivers needed for the P2 Card so he can take footage from the P2 and bring it in the computer via FCP. Is there a website that tells everything I need that might have been updated in the past year or so? Thanks.

FCP 6 & 7 have a Log and Transfer Window for ingesting P2 media...
...but new Macbook Pros don't have the necessary PCMCIA slots.
You can copy the P2 files to your hard disk from your camera via Firewire,
and FCP can ingest them from there. In the Log & Transfer window,
click on the upper left-hand button "Add Folder" to search for P2 directories.

PCMCIA card reader for Macbook pro

I'm looking for a card reader that is compatible with macbook pro. I receive data cards from clients that are PCMCIA format and looking for a device that can transfer information to the computer most likely through USB. It sounds pretty simple, but most media card readers out there support every possible card except PCMCIA.
So in answering my own question, I have found one device that is "known to work with Mac OS, but unsupported"
http://www.synchrotech.com/products/card-rw29_easyreaderusb2_ata_flash_pcmcia_pccards.html
In the application I'm using, it's not possible to transfer the information to another format and then import. Just curious if anyone else has come across this and has any advice.
Thanks
Andrew

Holy mackerel — a card reader that costs $285 and doesn't even include a USB cable! What will they think of next?
I think your problem would be a good reason to keep an old Powerbook in service. If you don't already have one, you could buy it for less than the reader, use it to read the incoming cards, and share the contents with your MBP over your network.
But this really makes me wonder what your clients are doing, that they bring you data on PCMCIA cards instead of some more convenient format.

Sony card reader / Sony X-tra power memory / extra adaptor for card reader

I've been researching for hours and have several questions, but the one I want to know about the most is: *what exactly does a card reader do?* I ask because I always thought that a card reader was meant to help transfer the raw files from the camcorder to inside the computer.
That's why I am confused by what this person wrote in a Review at Amazon of a product he bought:
*“I think a memory stick is a memory stick. But the USB Reader makes this worth the price. I can take my pics anywhere without having to take my camera and cords. Just plug the reader into any USB port and view pictures instantly.*
Lorna says:
I am inferring that he is saying that he wants to immediately see the video that he took as opposed to getting all the clips onto his computer not necessarily to look at right now. So: What is the purpose of a Card Reader?
And I have also been studying up on Memory Sticks (Proprietary with Sony). After reading a bunch of definitions, I conclude that the more letters you have after ”Memory Stick“, the better/faster the card is.
# Memory Stick™ General/Specifications
* Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo™ "HX"
* Memory Stick PRO-HG™
* Memory Stick PRO™
* Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™)
* Memory Stick™ (with MagicGate™)
* Memory Stick Duo™
Therefore, since the user manual for the TG5V that I downloaded from the Sony site mentions MEMORY STICK PRO DUO and MEMORY STICK PRO HG DUO, _I am going to buy the second one because it has an extra blazing fast turns-everything-to-gold capacity._ I will also pay dearly for it.
Please tell me whether or not I will need to get an adaptor for the reader if I am getting a Memory Stick with four extra pins in it.
I am sorry to be coming here so often, but reading these reviews and instructional pages often makes it necessary to ask yet more questions. They answer one question and raise enough dust to require two more clarifying questions.

AppleMan, actually I know what a memory stick is, although I did not know the depth to which you explained it (about the magnetic platters and sensors). I know that a memory card/stick is removable memory and that a card reader is something into which you stick the Sony memory card.
When I spoke of the upload being faster on a card reader, I meant/thought *that simply by virtue of going through a card reader, the upload would be faster* — faster than merely plugging a USB cable between the camcorder and the computer. In my mind. I was not assuming that there are different grades/speeds of card readers. I noticed that they are all fairly inexpensive, which means, no classifications of speed.
What I was and am concerned about is the actual Sony memory card/stick that can carry 4, 6, 8, 16, 32, gigabytes of memory. From what I read last night at some sites (and posted here) was that Sony has a bunch of crazy making names to confuse the buyer. +Memory stick, Memory stick duo, Memory Stick Duo Pro, Memory Stick Duo Pro HG, Memory Stick HS Duo Pro HG etc.+
I was early on confused with this array of choices, but I later realized last night that each little acronym signifies an extra capability.
I will look for a card reader and am going to assume that all card readers are universal for all card sizes and camcorders. Am I right or wrong in that?
