Satellite M40: card reader doesnt recognize RS-MMC cards

I have a problem with the card reader,if i insert a RS-MMC card this does not recognized and windows crash.
SD or MMC cards functions perfectly.
The card reader is damaged?

you can do the following:
push your rs-mcc card into the slot without the adapter, you will need a pencil or sthg like that to push it far enough..
then your notebook will recognize it
you can pull out your card again by shoving the adapter after it in the slot, when you hear the clicking sound you can pull the adapter with the card on it out of the slot
(when i put the adapter on the card before, and put the card then into the slot, it didnt function at all, seemed like the card couldnt be pushed deep enough into the slot due to the adapter)
at least it worked for me, i had the rs-mcc card and the adapter from my siemens s65 mobile phone
besides, though this procedure might sound a bit rough, it didnt seem to me that it did any harm neither to the adapter, nor to the card + slot

Re: Satellite A200 - After Win7 installation SD card reader doesnt work

Hello,
I have installed Windows 7 on my Satellite A200 and now cannot find my SD card reader.
Where can I find the driver for that?
I did not find it in the download section from Toshiba.
Rob.

Hi
The drivers for SD card reader is called Flash Media Driver.
The Flash Media Driver is for your Bridge Media Slot. This slot lets you insert either a SD card, Memory Stick (Pro) or xD picture card.
If such driver is not available for Win 7 then you should take the one released for Win Vista.
Cheers

SD card reader doesnt work... A105

I have managed to delete a driver(s) or something on my A105-S4384... now my SD card reader doesn't work.
When I plug a card into it, the SD reader light comes on... but the computer never acknowledges it.
It might have been the driver titled Texas Instruments ###, but I am not sure.
I downloaded one I thought was right titled Texas Instruments PCIxx21/x515/x12 which shows up in my program list... but I still have no SD reader capability.
Please help!!! What do I do??

I'm running XP Pro...

Flex 14 SD card reader not working with larger cards on Windows 8.1

The card reader in my Flex 14 is behaving very oddly. When I insert a 16GB SDHC card it makes the 'USB inserted' noise and the card shows up under device manager but I can't access it through file explorer. The card reader works fine with smaller SD cards that I have. I tried the card in another, Win7 laptop and it worked fine.
I see a number of other people are having a similar problem and I have followed all of the troubleshooting advice I can find, but nothing is working. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
This is what I have tried:
1. Leaving the card in the camera and attaching the camera via USB cable to the laptop: same result, noise, but can't access the card.
2. Trying to reassign the drive letter through storage controller: it shows the card but if you right click it to assign it a drive letter it says the 'file is missing'.
3. Downloaded the Win8.1 x64 driver from Lenovo website and installed. This stopped the card being recognised at all.
4. Installed the Win8 xc4 driver: this got me back to the noise but no action stage.
5. Updated Windows.
6. Uninstalled and reinstalled the driver numerous times both with the card inserted and without it and with restarting the computer after unistall and after reinstall.
7. Ran Ubunutu from a live USB: This allowed me to see the card and copy its contents to the laptop's HDD.
So it seems to be some incompatibility between the Lenovo drivers and Win8.1. Potentially it's to do with the USB drivers rather than the card reader drivers as the result when using the USB cable and the camera was the same as putting the card in the card reader. Is there a way to update these?
Any other troubleshooting steps I could take?
Thanks.

What size are the cards?
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Why does my macbook pro's built-in card reader not detect my SD card?

I have a Macbook Pro 15-inch Retina (Late 2013) and it has a built-in card reader. My SD card was working perfectly with the reader some days back, however, now it has all of a sudden stopped working! The funny thing is that when I put the same SD card into an external card reader connected to the same macbook, it works perfectly. Also, strangely, my card reader still works perfectly well with another SD card I have.
So, both the card reader and the SD card appear to be working separately, but why are they not working together?

two things to try
1. Reset SMC data. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
2. Do not push the card(s) all the way into the slot . back it out a fraction 1/16-1/8 inch until it appears in finder/desktop/etc...

USB Card Reader Doesn't See CF Card w/ 10.4.6 - Worked fine with 10.4.5

Why do I do these things??
I bought a cheap "Comp Usa" brand USB multi-card reader that I've been plugging into a Belkin powered USB hub. It worked fine reading a SanDisk 1gb "Ultra II" CF card until yesterday with 10.4.5.
Now that I've "upgraded" to 10.4.6, the card isn't registering anymore. The green LED on the reader lights up, showing some sort of connection between the reader and the USB hub, but the card will not appear on the desktop.
I should've waited - there is nothing in the 10.4.6 descriptions of fixes that matters to me, and now I don't know how to safely "go back" to 10.4.5.
Any thoughts?

Delete kernel extension caches, other caches for some issues A number of common issues that crop up after incremental Mac OS X updates can be resolved by deleting specific cache files -- specifically kernel extension caches -- and restarting.
This can most easily be accomplished with a shareware utility like Tiger Cache Cleaner, but also bears a manual process which involves dragging the following files to the trash:
com.apple.kernelcaches (a folder in /System/Library/Caches)
Extensions.kextcache (a file in /System/Library)
Extensions.mkext (a file in /System/Library/)
com.apple.ATS (a folder in /Library/Caches/)
Files that start with com.apple.LaunchServices (in /Library/Caches)
You will be prompted to enter your administrator password when dragging these files to the trash. You may need to restart after moving them to the trash.
Re-apply the Mac OS X 10.4.6 combo updater (Do not have USB Hub connected when you do this) A workaround that has proved successful for various problems caused by previous incremental Mac OS X updaters is re-application of the current combination updater

. Doing so overwrites potentially problem-causing files that were not replaced by the "Delta" (adjacent version-to-version) update.

Good compact flash card reader for PC slot? card types I and II

Thanks for your time.

Interesting.
I have a Sandisk SD(etc) card reader for my Powerbook's PC slot, and it eats CPU pretty effectively as well when importing into iPhoto - but so does reading from a USB 2 card reader. The PC card reader is slower than my USB reader, but the PC reader is way more convenient!
I've noticed that OS X seems to have more difficulty with PC cards than external readers. For example, last night my PC card quit - or so I thought. When I inserted my camera's card into the reader, it wouldn't read. I saw the PC Card item pop into the menubar of the finder, so I knew the card was functional. I plugged my card + camera in with it's USB cable, and it worked (transferred to iPhoto) just fine. I formatted the card, but while iPhoto recognized it via USB (via camera and external reader), it wouldn't via PC card. I rebooted a while later, and it began to work again - go figure. I've never had this sort of issue with USB gadgets, so It's a little odd.
BTW: I usually use a Kingston 1 GB SD, or one of a few 512 MB SDs from various brands.

Any possibility of upgrading Satellite M40 to read 2GB xD memory card?

Hi,
According to the User's Manual, the M40 can only read xD-cards up to the size of 512MB. Now I have bought an Olympus camera, including a 2GB xD-card. Is there any way of upgrading the notebook to read this card or is it simply not possible?
Thank you for replying.
Jan

I agree with Silas. There is a limitation. You can use only a 512MB cards. This is a hardware limitation
Did you try to use an external reader???
Many computer dealers offer very useful options for notebooks.
The external readers could be connected to the USB port and this should allows to use a 2GB xD card

Does Satellite A300-1G5 read SDHC Class 6/4 cards?

Does Satelitte A300-1G5 support SDHC Class 6/4 memory cards?
I've tried to search this over the internet and in the Users's Manual and it specifies SD cards but no SDHC.
Also, I've read other Satelitte A300 answers on SDHC saying that it can be read.
Will my model read it too?

Hi dude
The Satellite A300-1G5 series supports the cards from type:
- SD Card - 8MB-2GB
- SDHC Card - 4GB-16GB
- xD picture card - 16MB-2GB
- Memory Stick - 8MB-256MB
- Memory Stick Pro - 256MB-2GB
- MultiMediaCard - 8MB-2GB
- miniSD (with adapter) - 32MB-2GB
- microSD (with adapter) - 512MB-4GB
- Memory Stick Pro Duo(with adapter) - 256MB-4GB
As you can see there is no limitation in SDHC card type but in the card size.
Hope this helps you.

WRT54G2 doesnt recognize my network card during setup

I am trying to setup my WRT54G2 router. I ran the setup disk and I get a message saying "Can't locate wired network adapter". However, my network adapter is installed and seems to be working fine. The network card is an NVIDIA nforce networking controller.
Is there a problem with NVIDIA not being recognized by Linksys ? Any fix for this?
Thanks

Satellite M40 - SD card stuck in SD Card Reader

Hi!
I have a Satellite M40 and today I had the bad idea to use the Toshiba SD card reader.
I inserted the card into the slot and it went deep into it. Trying to get it back only resulted in pushing it farther in.
Now the cards is aprox. 2cm inside the slot and there is no way to get it out.
This must be a joke. Please tell me where the secret button is to get that card out of there. I give up, really...
Thanks,
Fritz

Hello
As far as I know Satellite M40 has not SD card slot but media slot and it supports different media cards. Of course you can not use all cards available on the market but just supported formats.
Zim wrote very good explanation how it works. Of course, with compatible cards only. Described issue can not happen with SD card. It is too big and can not come 2 cm inside the slot.
I am afraid you have used mini SD card. Am I right about that?
This card can not be used without proper adaptor.
Bad thing is that there is no secret button. :(

Computer doesn't recognize card reader

I am having trouble downloading images from the SD card used in my Canon S3IS using a LaCie card reader. Tonight I downloaded images from a 1Gb SD card from my Canon SD800IS, the card reader worked perfectly. Then when I tried to download from the 2 Gb SD card from my S3IS I couldn't get the computer to recognize that there was a card plugged in. I have an Emac using OSX 10.3.9. I have been using the Image Browser software that I had installed when I had a Canon S1 IS, it had been working fine, but now I'm not getting any response from the computer. Tonight I installed the software supplied with my S3IS and downloaded the images from the camera, but I still can't get any recognition of the card reader with the 2 Gb card. When I have the 1 Gb card in the reader I get a driver icon in about 2 seconds, but I don't get any response when the 2 Gb card is installed. I had thought that my USB ports weren't tight and didn't get a good connection but the 1 Gb card shows that the problem is elsewhere. Are card readers limited in the size of card you can use with them? I have used this card before even though sometimes I had to plug and unplug the card reader into the computer several times before it worked. I should mention that the power light on the card reader always comes on. The images download just fine from the camera and there doesn't seem to be any problem with the 2 Gb card. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks for your help.
Gordon

Terence:
That's probably what I need to do, get a newer card reader. I thought I had fixed the problem by "reformatting" my cards. I did some test shots and the reader worked fine. Next day I shot about 150 shots (on two cards in two cameras) and the computer didn't recognize either one.
Thanks for the help.

Problem Reading MMC Card

Kit
===
Nokia 9300i

MMC+ Card - MobyMemory 1GB
The memory card has worked perfectly on both phones until recently. Both phones no longer recognise the card and all the Memory Card drop down menus are now inactive. However, when the card is plugged into a USB2 Card Reader in my computer, the card can be read perfectly. I reformatted the card on the computer (using FAT and not FAT32) but the phones still refuse to recognise the card is there.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem is greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
DB

I've had this problem when I've not inserted card correctly - but seems odd in your case if it doesn't work on either.
Have you tried restarting both phones (eg remove batteries?
