SanDisk Extreme Pro ExpressCard wont install ... ?

All,
I have an older (2007) MacBook Pro lying around that I am attempting to turn into a "media" station for managing digital photos and whatnot. To make this work, I needed to (1) install Windows 7, and (2) get a reader that would let me access my SD cards. Installing Windows went OK with bootcamp and all that, but having some issues with the SanDisk Extreme® Pro™ Express Card™ Adapter for SDHC/SDXC UHS-I cards. I have followed the directions explicitly outlined in the installation manual, but nothing seems to work.
My question is, do these ExpressCard ports ever "go bad"? I can't think of another reason why this won't work out of the box.
Interested in any insight from others that have tried this hardware or have had similar issues with ExpressCards not working under Windows on Mac hardware.
Cheers-
S.B.

Thanks to all of you who pinged me off-line about this.
Apparently, the current version of BootCamp (3.1) does not have suitable Windows drivers for the ExpressCard hardware slot, makeing it uselss under Windows. Here is one such thread that discusses:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12518382?messageID=12518382
Perhapd in a future release of BootCamp this issue will be resolved. Anyone have other thoughts before I close out this thread?

Can not format my SanDisk Extreme Pro SDXC card using Disk Utility

Hello!
So, I have a problem with my SD cards.
I have an 27" iMac where I can read, write or format my SDXC SanDisk Extreme Pro cards for fun.
As soon as I insert them into my MB Pro, I lose that capability. I can only read them.
The option for format the cards gets greyed out.
I must get them working on my MB Pro since I am leaving in a week with my camera and laptop and absolutely have to be able to format the cards in the laptop, since I own a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera where that is not an option in the camera.
I have OSX 10.9.5 on both computers.
There does not seem to be a problem with other external drives that I own. My Western Digital Passport can be formatted, read and written on my MB Pro.
What do you guys think?
Regards,
Atli

I have found a little workaround for this stupid thing.
If you remove your SD card and then log out of your account. Then in again, insert the card, open disk utility and then everything should be okay!
Worked for me on both SD cards, but I have to do this every time I want to format a SD card.

I am happy with a 240/250 GB SSD but unsure which model would suit best. Because of the SATA II limitation what benefit would i see with a higher end EXtreme Pro SSD over a cheaper model?
The higher end SSDs have higher IOPS than the lower end SSDs so you would see a little snapper response from the OS but the over all throughput would still be limited to SATA II speed due to the SATA interface of the computer.
Because the SATA is II can you just half the SATA III performance spec for a SSD interfaced to a SATA II controller ? Will it not run at the 3 GB limit ?
Overall throughput will be limited to 3Gb theoretical. You will probably see close to 300MB/s
Without the sandisk software tools for Mac how can i update the SSD's firmware using a bootable USB stick, my CD/DVD drive has stopped functioning ?
SanDisk provides a downloadable DMG that can be put on a USB drive for FW update http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/16966/
I am interested in sandisk because of TRIM support on both the SSD and OSX 10.10.4.
10.10.4 now supports TRIM for third party SSD but this is not limited to just SanDisk SSD. here is some more info on enaleling TRIM for third party SSD http://www.macrumors.com/2015/07/01/os-x-trim-ssd/

Acrobat 9 pro trial wont install

Please help. Acrobat pro 9 trial install problem I have down loaded Acrobat pro trial to my Pc Okay. Running windows Xp pro service pack 3 1829MHz 20g free space . Have installed Photo shop CS4 and light room 2 . The problem starts at installation managed by Nosso at 99.9% finished then nothing happens. I have turned my Norton Anti virus off also disconnected form the internet. I have also tried the three Other laptop at home. Tried windows , Safari, and Firefox browsers. Have also downloaded the trial software 4 other times form different parts of our little planet. Has anybody experienced the same problem? Thanks in Advance for any guidance.

After about 2 dozen attempts at getting the installer to work (including everything that I could find on the Adobe site) I think that I just managed to get it to work, although it requires a bit of a workaround... summary is below:
1) Download the installer from the Adobe site and place it in your C:\temp directory. Do NOT run it.
2) Launch the command prompt go to the C:\temp directory
3) Unpack the installer... the command is:
acropro90_efg.exe -nos_o"Reader9" -nos_ne
Note:
- you may have to replace "acropro90_efg.exe" with the filename of the installer you downloaded
- This will unpack the file without running the installer into a "Reader9" directory
4) After the unpacking is done, you can simply run the "setup.exe" in the newly created directory.

Logic Pro 8 wont install on Snow Leapard

I have a late 2008 Macbook.
2.1 GHz
4GB ram
320 harddrive
I used to have Logic installed so I know the hardware is fine. However, I just bought a new hardrive and Snow Leopard. I have SL 10.6.2
When I insert the install disc my computer either immediately ejects it or waits a few minutes and then tells me it is a blank disc.

This has absolutely nothing at all to do with Logic.
Either your install disk is damaged, or the optical drive is shot, or (unlikely) something went wrong with the 10.6.2 install that causes the system no longer to recognize disks.

After many days of frustration, I try a stupid thing.... Put the SD card in the Lock Position and... Voilá!
The way I find to access the content is put the SD card in the Lock position..

Early 2009 Mac Pro with SSD Sandisk Extreme

Hi everyone,
Just had a quick question for anyone who may know...
I recently did the SDD upgrade for my mac pro (4,1) and bought a Sandisk Extreme SSD 120 GB, and the OWC sled for the drive. Installed a fresh install of ML and tested the drive with the Black Magic Speed tester. I am getting around 127MBs write speeds and 259 MBsRead speeds. This seems slow considering the drive has speeds of up to 6GBs and SATAII can go up to 3GBS. Is this a correct speed? Or is my disk faulty? Granted it is faster that a 7200 HDD drive, although not by much according to my testing. Am I missing something here? Any insight is much apperciated.

icy dock can cause it to eject, fail, nothing to do with our limited I/O

My Mac book pro (2011) start-up goes straight to disk utlities and wont install mavricks.

Hello,
     My mac boook pro 2011 wont start up to my internal harddrive. it will sit on the white screen for a bit before it takes me directly to the choose language then disk utlity and shows the;
Time machine
install osx
get help online
disk utlity
     Ok so my harddrive is partitoned into two, but everytime i try to delete the partition drive, it wont let me. says (Macintosh HD2 cannot unmount please try again). And everytime i try to earse the free space, it wont do it as well. but its says it did.
     Then i try to repair my disk but my verify/repair disc permissions is not choosable but the veriy/repair ARE choosable. i choose verify/repair option and it says everything is fine. but it still wont let me choose verify/repair disk permission. My Saftey Mode is not working ( circle with line through) so i cant fix that problem. I also done the reset PRAM/NVRAM and SMC and still nothing.
     Ok the problem goes further. my Mac book pro came installed with Snow Lepord not mavricks but it wants to install mavricks instead. I put my internet into some single thing and it switched it to Lion instead of mavricks. but that isnt the problem (just thought it was weird how it switched OSX system like that) the problem is that it doesnt want to download install any OSX system. First it didnt let me get pass the choose install drive wondow. , then i switched my date in the terminal and was able to sign in but it wont download any OSX system, it would say (Something came up, please try again). My install cd wont work, keeps spitting it out. And trying to do an OSX system download wont work through this browser on disk utltity (not enough space on the drive).
     I was deleting log files from my mac through the partitioned drive and i accidently deleted a system folder that had logs. i was wondering if this was the problem and if its making my HD fail ir is my HD done? and can i put Yosemite on a usb and boot it that way or burning it to a CD and doing a cd install?
     Please i need help becuase i use my mac for film and editing and my mac wont boot to the desktop, just to this window. ill try to post picutres of what happens.

That you are getting the BONG is a good sign, it's unlikely to be hardware if you are able to hear that.
Start by running SW update. It's not that there is a specific fix, but when updating it may rewrite some system files which may get this going again purely as a side affect. Worth a go, and should not harm the system.
Try reset the PRAM - Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
Hopefully one of these quick fixes works, otherwise we'll need to try isolate the issue next - so if still having a problem, I'd try create a new user and login as that user to see if the issue persists (which will tell us if it's system wide or user specific)

My early 2011 MBP 13" does not recognize my Sandisk 16GB 45MB/s Extreme Pro SDHC card. I went to the Genius Bar and we tried it in all the MacBook Pro's in the Apple Store and NONE could recognize the card. However, iMacs did. Any suggestions?

Pro applications update wont install

pro applications update wont install
has anyone had this problem, or does anyone know a solution?

I'm having this same problem. After installing Logic Studio last night I ran Software Update which updated my software but skipped ProApplications Update 2007-1. It went straight to ProApplications Update 2007-2 and told me there was an error installing Update 2007-1. So I came here, downloaded Updated 2007-1 on its own and installed it without a problem. Now whenever I run Software Update it tries to install ProApplications Updated 2007-2 but tells me there is an error. I tried the link to the update and am redirected to a Final Cut Studio page and asked for my Final Cut Studio serial number--but I don't have Final Cut Studio. I have Logic Studio.
Any suggestions on how to rectify this?

OS X installers have always been fairly specific, hardware-wise. I haven't read anything reflecting that situation with the Recovery HD, so it may be that the Recovery HD created for the MacBook Pro does not have the necessary drivers for the Mac Pro. Obviously, nothing definitive here, but a possibility.

Can I use my old AIr Port Extreme with my new Mac Pro with Lion installed? It has worked well with the G-4 that I'm replacing.

I'm smarter now. It worked fine.

Sandisk extreme firewire reader not working on new MBP models(unibody))

hey all,
so I have the sandisk extreme firewire CF reader since 2008. It works great on my 15" Macbook Pro2.2 (C2D 2.16ghz)
Recently(actually in march) I purchased the new thunderbolt 15" MacbookPro(2.2GHz).
At first the firewire card reader works fine on the new MBP. But somehow in May it stopped working(running SL). The CF card wouldnt mount, in System Profile it wouldn't even display the device. Even after I installed Lion it still wouldnt work. The only way for it to work is to daisychain it onto a firewire external harddrive and hook it up to the macbookpro.
It's super weird. I've contacted sandisk's web support(WHAT?! only web support but no phone, for such a big company?!), they said it was use the card-reader was due to power issues and told me to contact Apple to resolve the issue.
I later on tried the card reader on numberious mac's. Turns out that most Unibody machines wont work with it.(the weird thing is, when i just got my Thunderbolt unibody, it worked perfectly fine, for a while) But back on my old Macbook Pro2,2 from 2007(which is currently running OSX 10.6.8), it's works like a champ.(going to install 10.7 Lion and see how it goes)
And at the meantime I donno whether it's the card readers issue or not?(sandisk wouldnt replace the thing for me)
So anyone got any experience or insight of the situation?
thanks
PS.
To make things worse, Sandisk discontinued the extreme firewire reader,(they do have the expresscard reader, but the new 15" dont have a expresscard slot)
So now we're left with those stupid slow USB2.0 card readers while the size and the speed of those flash memory cards are getting faster and bigger each day.

I'm pretty much giving up on this issue.
I just found a very rare new lexar fw800 reader online for $80. Hope it works.
fun fact: the SanDisk fw card reader works on the MacPros,new MacMini's/server, even the thunderbolt display w/ the fw800.
