Satellite P300-18M - Is using the card reader for Vista Ready Boost OK?

Hi there,
I have a P300-18M, and, due to getting a new phone, have an 8GB Micro SD Card spare.
I have put this in the card reader, and I am currently using it for Ready Boost, even though I have 3GB of RAM, there is definately a performance boost...
However, does anyone know if this could endanger the card reader? (ie damage it in any way) from being used all the time?
Thanks
Jack

Hmm. I wonder about the 8GB Micro SD Card.
As far as I know and according to some details in the internet, the Satellite P300 supports the microSD (with adapter) card 512MB - 4GB.
Usually the notebooks card reader should not recognize bigger microSD cards than 4GB.
Nevertheless I doubt it could affect the card reader functionality in worst case the 8GB microSD card will not be recognized by card reader
Cheers

  • Cannot use the card reader on my Equium A100

    I've put my SD HC card into the reader, and ensured it's clicked in properly.
    But nothing is happening. I recently reformatted my hard drive.
    Can you please tell me which driver I need?
    I've seen these on the toshiba downloads page and think they might be of help?
    SD memory format, SD secure module, and also SD utilities.
    I hope someone can help me, as I really need to get the info of this card!
    Thanks.

    Hi
    I assume you use Win XP.
    The Flash Media Driver from Texas Instruments is the driver for card reader controller.
    Download it and install it!
    PS: not all cards are supported and compatible so if an card will not work in the card reader then sometimes this doesnt mean that an card reader driver has not been installed
    Anyway, in device manager the card reader should be recognized properly!

  • Is there a way to rotate a document using the Adobe Reader for IOS app for ipad?

    Is there a way using the app to rotate a document 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise?

    There's no rotate command to rotate the document. Instead, rotate the iPad. If it doesn't rotate, turn off the Rotation Lock switch on the side of your iPad.

  • Is it possible to boot from the card reader?

    With some linux versions out there, you can use liveCD to create a USB linux boot drive to 'dual' boot into linux without touching the internal harddrive.
    The cardreader would be perfect for this as I have some 4 and 8 Gb SC cards, but using F12 at startup, there is never an option to use the card reader device to boot. Looked in the BIOS, but could not see an option to enable this.
    Does anyone know of a way around this?
    Thanks.
    Waste.

    No one responded to your post, strange. When I want to test , lets say, a Compact Flash that has WIndows 98 bootup files on it, and a usb config.sys driver, as the CF slot is from a 7 in 1 FDD and card reader, and I first disable any hard drive in my computer from boot order, etc, so that the bios will be forced to simply search. If there is the possibility of your system to boot up here, it will find the OS and use it. It will tell you if it can or not at this point. Every bios is different in what it will or will not use in the boot order or allow for a bootup device. And I have also read about same thing as you read in re to Live CD. Sorry I have not learned that method as yet. I could never get anything but older OS to boot up off USB thumbdrives, and the like, and hacking the new OS usb load up process is not someting I care to master. If you find a way to do what you desire, please let others know how it went.

  • Used my card reader to import images, now see "incompatible JPEG" on images in camera

    I have a Canon Power Shot A720 and used the card reader to import photos into the organizer.  Now when I go back to erase some images from the camera I see many, but not all, of my 'once' images blacked out with a grey/white box in the center & a yellow question mark. Under the box it says "incompatible JPEG".  What does that mean?  It's never happened to me before, but I usually import my images directly from the camera.

    Hi,
    I'm not sure I understand your question since it's been a while since I had
    trouble.  When I had the trouble I was downloading from my camera and
    storing them in the Organizer.  My problem came when I edited those images
    and RENAMED them.  I guess the organizer didn't recognize the renamed
    photos?  Those were the images which had the yellow check mark.  I now use a
    card reader only, and I store them in 'Pictures' instead of the PSE
    organizer.  I haven't had any more problems.   I think the Organizer, when
    used properly, would be the best choice.....I just couldn't figure it out!
    Frankly, I just didn't understand the Organizer and was used to my own
    method for storage.  I think that's what messed me up.  I had help from a
    computer technician to retrieve those images, and I haven't had any problems
    since.
    As for deleting images, I only delete images from my camera by using the
    delete on my camera.  I never, never delete from my card/camera by using the
    prompt from my computer, like "do you want to delete these images from your
    camera?"
    Good luck!
    Donna
    I don't if I helped you at all.  You're welcome to write back or hope for a
    really good explanation on the forum boards.

  • How to remove SD Card from the Card Reader slot - Satellite A100?

    Hi,
    Is there anyone to help me? I inserted a 64 MB SD card in the card reader slot of my Toshiba A100 model. It's the first time i have inserted the card. The card is inside the slot. I can not take it out! I don't have any idea how to remove the card from the card reader slot. I can see the contents of my SD card, can open the files too. But how to remove it out from the slot. Please help me giving your idea to remove the card out from the slot.
    Arjun

    Hi
    In my knowledge the SD card slot doesnt has a any additional helps like the PCMCIA slot to remove the card.
    You have to remove it simply. Try to grab the card and move it out. You can try to use the pair of tweezers. Maybe it helps

    I have Photoshop Eleent 12 and use a Windows PC.  I hae been using a Canon EOS 50D for several years, which uses a Compact Flash Card.  I have always downloaded pictures by using a card reader wich I connect to my computer. I Go to the Organizer, click on "Import" and select "From camera or card reader".  Once on the Photo Downloader, I select the pictures, chose the folder and click on "Get Media" and all the photos get downloaded. Today I folled the same procedure as always, but ZI'm gettig an error message that reads"Import Failed" followed by another message that reads "Nothing was imported. The file(s) or folder(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types, or the files are already in this Catalog."  I'm puzzled by this message and don't know what to do o get my photos.  Any suggestions?

    The organizer doesn't care where you send your photos when you download them via the downloader or where they happen to be when you first bring them in if you use the Get Photos command, but once your pics are in the Organizer, you *must* move them from within organizer or it can't find them. You don't have to use My Pictures at all if you don't want to, but regardless of the folder where you put your photos, if you want them someplace else, you use organizer to do it.

    Hi Guys,
    I have a problem with Importing Pictures onto my Mac mini with Lion installed by using a Card Reader,
    What is the problem here so I can get Pictures onto my Computer. ,

    Hi Noob Søren
    There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
    As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
    You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
    I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
    You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
    Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
    If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
    Hope this helps

    If this page doesn't help then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

  • Satellite P300-18M - VGA to S-Video / RCA cable - No Picture on TV

    Hi,
    First of all, I am trying to use my other laptop (Dell Lattitude D630) I with my TV, however, this other laptop only has a VGA output.
    So I bought a VGA to S-Video and RCA adapter from e-Bay: [Picture|http://members.lycos.co.uk/jtfearnley/Hosting/Images/RCA%20To%20S-Video%20RCA.jpg]
    However, this does not work, the laptop in question does have "TV Out through VGA", so it should work according to various websites, and the seller....
    However, I then tried to test it with my Satellite P300-18M, and it does not work with this either, I have tried both the composite (yellow port) and S-video port, in three different TV's, and there is no picture.
    I have tried changing the settings in the ATI Catalyst Controll Centre, eg, forcing TV detection, and it detects the TV, however there is no picture on the TV, only grey lines.
    If I cange the resoution and Refresh rate I can sort of get an image: [TV Picture|http://members.lycos.co.uk/jtfearnley/Hosting/Images/TV.jpg]
    But this is the best thing.
    In the past I have used all three television sets with my P300 using direct S-Video, so I do not understand why it will not work with this adapter.
    Also, I know that this isn't a Dell forum, but I am not a member there, and this question is also concerning my Toshiba notebook, as it would be useful to be able to use the adapter for RCA instead of S-Video.
    Thanks

    Hi
    From my knowledge the VGA port can be used only in connection with an external monitor/LCD but not with the TV.
    The point is that the common PAL TV (not LCD or plasma) supports a max resolution of 720 X 576px at 50Hz (NTSC 720 X 480 at 60Hz).
    As far as I know only the s-video port provides such resolution.
    The VGA port provides higher resolutions which are supprted by most external monitors.
    However, I never connected the notebook to TV via VGA port so I can provide only some assumptions.
    Of course it could be possible that the VGA to S-Video and RCA adapter is not fully compatible.
    I read on different pages that cheap no-name adapters dont work as it should.

  • How can I stop iTunes scanning the card reader on my computer?

    OK - its not really my computer thats the issue - its my Granddads.
    Basically, his computer has an internal card reader. When you try to launch iTunes, it fails to open for 30+ mins.
    The cause appears to be the same issue that causes problems if a blank CD or DVD is in the drive - however, it is the card reader that is preventing iTunes from opening correctly. iTunes tries to scan the empty devices - which eventually causes Windows to mark the devices as having a problem and prevents them from working until after a reboot.
    I have confirmed that this is the cause by unplugging the reader internally - however this is not a solution as he needs the USB ports and the card reader slots for his daily use.
    I need to prevent iTunes from scanning these devices.
    Anyone got any ideas? This is urgent.
    System is Win 7 x64 Ultimate.

    Anybody?

  • Device removal error.....   The card reader ejects itself

    Hello, I'm new to macs and purchased a Mac Mini a week ago. Things were going well until I needed to move pictures from a digital camera to my mac.
    I purchased a GE 19 in 1 card reader which is built for mac os x. I hook it up to a usb port and try and look at some pictures. After a few seconds, the card reader ejects itself and I get the "device removal" error. The error will then continue to appear over and over again. When I try to eject the reader using by clicking eject, the reader ejects and only reappears a minute later and ejects itself again. I've tried using another usb port and I know for sure that its not the cable.
    If I can't get any prompt answer here, I'm going to call the Genius bar tomorrow morning and ask about the problem. <Edited by Moderator>

    More often than not, when a card reader or other similar device disconnects from the USB bus because it is drawing too much power. In a card reader, that would not unusually be triggered not by the card reader itself, but by the insertion of a card causing it to read the content and mount the volume on the Mac's desktop. Part of the problem is that while everything is invariably quoted as USB compatible, many such devices don't entirely comply with the USB standard, resulting in conflicts or load demands which may be borderline, or worse.
    You may be able to get more reliable performance from your reader by disconnecting other USB devices when you are trying to use it, or by using it with a powered USB hub. Occasionally, borderline problems can be temporarily resolved by connecting the device to a different port, if necessary switching devices around. Alternatively, it may be that in an attempt to produce a device with the greatest flexibility in terms of media compatibility, they have compromised on components.
    I would generally recommend a card reader designed for the specific card type you need. These are typically far more reliable. If you need to use different types of card media, then be prepared to spent on a well established brand with a reputation in this sector of the market, such as SanDisk.

  • Why can't I use/build an SD card reader for iPhone?

    I have searched and searched for an SD card reader for iPhone. Apple offers the camera connection kit for iPad but for some reason they have made it incompatible with iPhone. This doesn't make a whole lot of since to me unless they are trying to drive users to buy an iPad. So far I have only found one SD card reader that claims to work on iPhone: http://www.zoommediaplus.com/index.html . If they have actually made it work with iPhone and the app is in the App Store then Apple must allow apps to transffer data from SD cards. If so I can make one myself and build the hardware to go with it since the Apple SD card reader doesn't work on iPhone.
    I guess my main questions are:
         Does Apple allow SD Card readers for iPhone?
         if not:    
              Why don't they?
              Can anyone tell me where it is documented that you can not use SD Cart readers with iPhone?
              How does ZoomMediaPlus get their app in the App Store if it isn't allowed?
         if they do:
              Why aren't their more SD Card readers for iPhone?
              Why doesn't Apple's lightning SD Card read work with iPhone?

    Of course they forbid it.  You realize that an iPhone 6+ owner cannot use the Apple Lightning SD Card Reader, don't you?  We know the support for their own SD Card Reader is built into iOS 8 because it works with iPads.  Therefore, Apple intentionally turned the support OFF for iPhones.
    and it appears no one else has bothered to attempt to produce one
    No, Apple forbids any third parties from producing one.  They produce them for iPads but they cannot work on iPhones, because Apple chooses not to permit such functionality (i.e., they forbid it).  Third parties produce such adapters for Android, so obviously they would want to do the same for iOS so they could sell more. 
    You're recommendation for AirStash is uninformed.  I've tried it and found it to be a clunky time-consuming workaround if all you want to do is import some photos from an SD card.  Using Photos in iOS to import photos is a far more elegant solution - an Apple solution that just works (if you purchased an iPad).
    If it bothers you that iPhones do not work with Apple's own Lightning SD Card Reader, then I suggest you leave feedback instead of attacking those who point it out:

  • Eclipse terminates by starting the card reader

    Hello,
    it�s me again. I have a problem with the card reader (Omnikey CardMan 3121 USB) everytime I will start the reader via the symbol I get the termination message and eclipse terminates.
    Perhaps I do the wrong things but I don�t know another way.
    1. Write the code
    2. push the Run-button (and it loads)
    3. I try to connect the card reader with the symbol above the traces to go the same way with the real card reader
    termination
    In the moment I can test the code with the simulation tool but I wants to load the applet to a real card.
    what do I wrong ?
    Thank you very much for your help
    mimaxx

    Hello!
    I think this might very well be a problem with the Omnikey readers. I use a Omnikey myself and the exact same thing happens. What I do to fix it is simply to type "/term" in the JCOP shell terminal window. Note that if you already have an open session with another reather (i.e. the simulator) you will have to close it using "/close" first.
    After you've selected the terminal (card reader), use /card (or even /card -a a000000003000000 -c com.ibm.jc.CardManager, but I find it's sufficient to type /card).
    As I'm in a good mood and it's almost weekend, I'll throw in an APDU trace for good measure:
    cm>  /close
    -  /term
    --Opening terminal
    /cardresetCard with timeout: 0 (ms)
