SanDisk ImageMate works on Vista, but not on Leopard

I bought an iMac when my old Windows XP machine from Dell died last Christmas, and am mostly very pleased with it. I used Boot Camp to install Vista Home Basic on it also, because I still needed to run some Windows software.
I recently acquired a digital camera from my daughter, along with a SmartMedia card reader by SanDisk (model SDDR-55 ImageMate). On the SanDisk website I found a driver for Windows that would work for 95, 98, ME, 2000, and XP. I downloaded it after not finding one for Vista listed. Similarly, there was a driver that would work for Macintosh OSX and OS 10.1. I downloaded it after not finding one specifically for Leopard.
I installed both drivers under their appropriate OSes and plugged the ImageMate into a USB port on the computer. What I found was that it worked fine under Vista but was not recognized at all by Leopard. I contacted SanDisk and they had me verify that it was not a problem with the USB port. Also, they had me try to install it on another Mac (my daughter has a Mac laptop running Leopard) and it didn't work there either. So I know the ImageMate works and the USB port works.
SanDisk then suggested I contact Apple. Is there anything I can do to get the ImageMate working on Leopard?
One thing I noticed was that when I ran Terminal and went to /System/Library/Extensions and looked at a couple of files created during the install on the Mac, the owner and group were different from all the other files, so I made them match the others thinking file ownership might be the problem. Alas, it was not. (I did the install while logged in as admin.)
Can anybody point me in the direction of what to do next?
Thanks in advance,
Sherry

Many thanks to both of you for responding. My guess is that my ImageMate is getting old and SanDisk isn't going to help support it. I'm sure they'd rather I replace it by buying one of their newer models.
One of my lesser attractive qualities is that I am cheap, and hate to throw away anything that still works. Since this little doobie still does (under Vista), I'll probably limp along with it there until I can't stand it anymore and buy a new one. I appreciate learning that some require drivers and some don't: that will help when it comes time to buy a replacement.
Neither here nor there, but this is the 2nd device I've had difficulty with getting to work on Leopard but not on Vista (the other being my HP PSC 1315xi printer/scanner/copier).

ITunes sharing works for Vista but not XP on the same network

So all the basic settings are right under Edit->Preferences to share and seek shared music on the network.
Here's the topology:
A - Vista Laptop (wireless)
B - XP Service Pack 2 Laptop (wireless)
C - XP Service Pack 2 Desktop (wired)
A can see C
C can see A
C can see B
A can see B
B can't see anything
Since the other machines can see B I'm lost... can you help?

After digging and reading since I posted this question, I finally found the issue. My Cisco VPN client was set to stateful firewall (always on). When I turned off this setting, all machines worked for iTunes sharing. The Vista box was coincidentally working because the Cisco VPN client 4.6 didn't work on Vista.

Mini Displayport to DVI working in Bootcamp but not in Leopard

I've got a new unibody MBP together with a mini displayport to dvi adapter.
When I connected the dvi cable with the MDP2DVI adapter to my new MBP and my 3-months-old Benq 20" LCD monitor, nothing shown up no matter how I tried. The monitor just kept saying no signal could be detected.
Being frustrated so I did some googling, and I'm surprised by the vast number of people who have got problems with the external display!! I really didn't notice this before I decided to buy this MBP and I'm a little regretted, coz the 2nd monitor is so essential to the productivity of my work...
After searching around for a solution for some time, I am pessimistic of waiting for a solution from apple as I see some people had already address this issue in late 2008 but till now seems no solution had came out.
Last night when I use bootcamp to enter Windows XP, surprisingly it can recognize my external display!!! So now I am quite sure that it's the problem of Leopard but not the display hardware nor the adapter nor my monitor/cable. Did anybody have the similar problem as me tried this in bootcamp??

keepyourpower,
For what its worth I've been having much the same issue with my Macbook Pro. Leopard will refuse to see the external display while Windows Vista on bootcamp 90% of the time will but not without some effort. I've been able to get Leopard to use the display after going in to Windows and manually selecting display attached in the display properties menu. It doesn't always work but it will sometimes.
I'm 100% sure there is a flaw in the logicboard on some of the 2.4 Ghz that is causing this issue. I recently sent my portable in for repairs and they replaced the display which is why it was in and the Logicboard. I'm not sure why they replaced my Logicboard nothing was wrong with it, but with the new one its having much the same problem as you. As I said before I'm 100% sure this is a hardware defect in the Logic Board and if you are within your 14 day return window I'd see about asking your local Apple store to exchange the unit for a new one.
Not really sure if this will help you at all but didn't want you to think you were alone with this issue..

ICloud available for Windows Vista, but not Snow Leopard???

I have Multipal Macs with the Core Duo chipset that can not run LION and no $$$$ to upgrade hardware right now.
WHY does Windows VISTA get iCloud suport but I who can't upgrade to LION do not?
I understand leaving out Leaopard, but SNOW too?

With the removal of Rosetta in Lion and the requirement for Lion in order to use iCloud Macs are no longer an option for poeple that need to be able to run older applications.
Many places bought Macs because they could run just about anything, Windows, Linux, PPC software, even Classic applications via Sheepshaver.
The big issue is the loss of being able to run PPC applications. Freehand, Pagemaker, Framemaker, Quicken to name just a few applications that will never be ported. People and businesses have huge amounts of documents in these formats. It's not stuff that is used regularly but it is files that need to be accessed and sometimes modified.
All these applications can run on a modern Windows machine as can iCloud but not on a Mac running Lion.
While I'm complaining... I setup a bunch of Macs, iOS devices and some PCs all on iCloud today. The loss of email account syncing meant I had to spend hours setting up email on each machine ( each device had just under a dozen accounts on it) instead of just one machine and having it propagate to all the other devices. Going to be real fun trying to keep email rules in sync on all the Macs.

MPEG-2 playback audio syncing issue (works in Vista but not in OS X)

My setup:
- Mac Mini CoreDuo 1.83GHz, 1 GB RAM
- Elgato EyeTV 410 DVB-T
- Sony KDL-46W2000 FullHD LCD-TV (1920x1080p)
I have a rather complicated problem with audio-video synchronization at MPEG-2 playback. I've spent a lot of hours on troubleshooting in the last weeks without coming up with a solution.
I've installed Vista using Bootcamp on my Mac Mini, and in Vista everything works fine, so it's definitely a problem in OS X and not a hardware issue.
I have a Mac Mini CoreDuo 1.83GHz 1GB RAM. I have done a reinstall of OS X and updated it in Software Update until Software update says my "computer is up to date". So it's completely fresh without any third party software.
As display I'm using my brand new Sony KDL-46W2000 FullHD LCD-TV connected via a DVI-HDMI cable. I don't have to do any custom settings for this display. OS X outputs 1920x1080 progressive without me having to do any additional settings.
The issue is that when I watch DVDs the picture is delayed on the screen about 200 millisec compared to the audio. This isn't the case on all DVDs, but on several DVDs that I've tested. I don't know the differences between the DVDs. It's the same problem if I use VLC to playback so it's not just Apple DVD Player. And it doesn't matter if I use the S/PDIF output to let my receiver decode the audio or if I use the internal speaker in my Mac Mini.
Now to the most interesting part...
In addition to DVD playback problem, I experience the exact same problem with Elgato's EyeTV. But ONLY when using their deinterlace method "Progressive scan". If I use "Always" or "Motion-adaptive" the audio and video syncs just fine.
If I playback other media-files (in Quicktime or VLC) like mov, H264/x264 or XviD everything works just fine and as expected.
As far as I can see the problem only seems to affect MPEG-2 playback. And judging on the troubleshooting with EyeTV deinterlacing and/or progressive scan seems to be involved in some way.
I also tested EyeTV on a PowerBook G4 connected to my TV, and it shows the exakt same problem.

I don't know what causing the problem, but if you play the files with VLC you can adjust the audio synchronization in its "Audio" preferences if you check the "Advanced" box at the bottom-left.

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED: iCloud works on Win 7/Vista but not Snow Leopard???

I just found out that iCloud has a control Panel for Windows 7 and Vista.... WINDOWS.... REALLY???
Two MICROSOFT Operating Systems OLDER than Snow Leopard, but Apple does NOT support ICloud on Snow Leopord????
I have been a Paying member of MobilMe and it's predecessor .Mac for over 8 years, and I cannot move to Lion yet because many
the professional Apps I use for business still don't wotk on Lion!
So when Mobilme expires this year I'm burned as far as Syncing all my devices!!!
I have been an EXTREME Mac advocate for years, but this is simply WRONG!!!
FIX IT PLEASE????

You should be able to continue to sync all of your devices with iCloud. Some parts of iCloud work fine in Snow Leopard.

Vision M 30GB works in Vista but not XP

So, my Vision M no longer will detect in Windows XP SP3. I think it started happening after I upgraded the firmware it says version 0.22 in revovery mode, so I'm assuming that's correct. Everything works great on it on Vista still, but my main computer is running XP. Is there an easy fix to this problem other than upgrading to Vista?
Basically, what happens is this:
I plug in the MP3 player, the XP detects it and installs the driver, then it says there's a problem with the device it just installed. Afterwards, the Vision M shows up in device manager with an exclamation point next to it and I'm unable to access it through XP.
Please help!
Thanks in advance...

I actually was able to fix it by installing the Microsoft User-Mode Driver Framework Feature Pack (I found this suggestion randomly on another forum since it seems to be a common problem), so thankfully I didn't have to format. Thanks for the help though.

Dual Core Center working in Vista but not XP on a dual boot system?

Hi All.
My system specs are:
Dual Boot Windows XP Pro SP2 and Windows Vista Ultimate
Temps for CPU in Vista averaging at 43 - 45 degrees in XP averaging at 38 to 42 degrees. It never seems to go much higher than 53 on Load.
Thermaltake Soprano tower
MSI K9N Diamond Motherboard
Hiper 580watt Modular PSU
4GB OCZ Gold 6400
AMD X2 6000+
2 X 300gb diamond maxtor 10 HDD
MSI Geforce 7800gt
DVD Rom
LG Dual Layer DVDRW+/-
I am running a dual boot system with Windows XP Pro SP2 on one partition and Windows Vista Ultimate on the other. Both operating systems seem to be operating properly except for an odd situation with Dual Core Center. In Windows XP Dual Core Center only indicates the Mainboard properties - No VGA, whereas on Windows Vista Ultimate Dual Core Center indicates both VGA & Motherboard properties. I have installed MSI Nvidia drivers for the Graphics card & also tried straight Nvidia drivers for the card but it has made no difference VGA will not show up in XP. Yet on installing Dual Core Center on the Vista partition VGA showed up immediately. Can anyone help.
If anyone can come up with an answer to this it would be a real help.
Many Thanks in advance.

have you try to update/install the dual core driver from amd?

F4580 - WiFi works on Vista but not XP???

Just bought a F4580 as needed WiFi (old PSC 1410 still working OK). Have installed onto Vista laptop, fine. Have failed 4 times to get it onto XP laptop despite reaching the stage of recognising the printer on the network and printing the test page, then freezing at 38% saying 'Hardware Problem' "The data is invalid"??? (it does install OK via USB, of course)
I have been through all the 'fixes' on HP website and same result.
Anyone any idea why it gets so close then dies on me? PLEASE.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Let's add the printer manually since it appears the software is already installed for your USB connection.
Verify that you can browse to the printer's internal web page by typing its IP address into a browser.
1. Click "Start" button --> Printers and Faxes.
2. Under Printer Tasks, click "Add Printer".
3. Click "Next" button on the Add Printer Wizard window.
4. Select "Local printer attached to this computer". Deselect "Automatically detect and install My Plug and play printer". Click "Next".
5. Under Select a Printer Port option, select "Create a new port" and select "Standard TCP/IP Port" and click "Next" button.
6. In the "Welcome to the Add Standard TCP/IP printer port wizard" make sure that the printer is turned on and connected to same network that your computer is connected to. Click "Next" button.
7. Under "Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port" enter the printer's IP address. Click "Next" then click "Finish".
8. Now, select HP from the list of manufacturers, select your printer from the list of Printer models and click 'Next' button.
9. If you can't find your printer, you'll need to find the install CD and use the "Have Disk" option to select one of the hp*.ini files. Alternatively, you can select another HP printer model from the same type.
10. Add the print spooler name and click "Next".
11. Click "Next"
12. Click "Next" and then "Finish"

WRT110 works for Vista, but not XP

Today I purchased a new RangePlus router (WRT110) and performed the setup as shown. What's strange is that my Windows Vista laptop, which I used to install the router (via hardwire connection) is able to connect to the wireless router, however, I have a Windows XP desktop (with PCI Linksys wireless card) and laptop both which cannot access the router. Please note that at this time I don't have security enabled on this router (open access).
Is there anything with the Vista "Network Sharing Center" that might block the other computers from accessing the WRT110 router?
Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

External hard drives work on tiger but not on leopard. WHY?

My 2 external hard drives worked fine on tiger. I had the backup program and used it every week. Now that I loaded up leopard, I cant see the external hard drives. When I take the drives and plug them to my mac book pro which I have not yet upgraded, they come up fine.
I cant even see them in disk utility
Please help

My external doesn't work either. It seems like it is trying to boot, but doesn't. Meanwhile, the Mac Pro churns and the fan goes into high gear. At that time the screen freezes and the little rainbow wheel just spins. The only way I could get the Mac back was to power down with the power button on the front of the CPU and unplug the external drive. It's just a backup drive but I would like access to it. I'm looking to see if the manufacturer has a patch online, but I'd appreciate any suggestions ion the meantime. I haven't upgraded to Leopard yet on my MacBook Pro, maybe I'll wait a few days... Anyone know what to do?

Flash Player works in Safari but not Internet Explorer 9

I've installed Flash Player 10.3 and it works in Safari but not Internet Explorer 9. When I look in Manage Add-Ins I see Flash Shockwave but not Flash Player. My operating system is Windows Vista Ultimate (32bit). Safari is 5.0.5 and IE 9 is 9.0.8112.16421. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing Flash Player and uninstalling Norton 360. Nothing has worked so far. Can you help?

Thank you for your reply. Shockwave is loaded and enabled.
The files in flash directory are: a folder called FlashPlayerTrust: file, flash10q.ocx: file, FlashInstall.log; file, FlashUtil10q_ActiveX.dll; file, FlashUtil10q_ActiveX.exe, file, install.log.
There is no file: NPSWF32.dll.
When I test the browsers I get no spinning logo in either Safari or IE9. Safari says: missing plug-in, where I think the logo should be. IE-9 says nothing at the same location.
Thanks.

Rollovers work in Netscape but not IE?

I have the rolloverbuttons working great with Netscape but when I run my app in IE the images aren't showing up. The jar is loading fine and when I use the default rollovers ( [ROLLOVER]exit ) they work fine, but my images aren't showing up. Thanks for any and all help.

I didn't see any errors when I looked at yourhome page in IE7 (on Vista). So which page elements were producing an error and what was the error you were seeing? Did you delete the cache in IE7 to check whether it was a caching problem? Tools > Internet Options > Browsing history (choose to delete)?
