SD card gone inside iMac

Hi All,
Help...somehow my SD card has gone inside my iMac
I was inserting unsighted, so not sure if it went in the SD slot or disc drive slot above. How can I get it out?
Many thanks in advance for any advice.

Shouldn't be too much of a problem to get out (hopefully) - have a look at this short video:

Edited to add: If it's any consolation, you're not the first. Have a look at this old thread - there's a few other suggestions:

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?

Regular Airport card - fit in iMac DV SE 400?

Hello there,
I'm trying to install an 802.b AirPort card on my iMac DV SE 400 but it does't seem to fit. The antena cable in the iMac inserts properly in the card but the plastic slot where the card in supposed to go is too wide. Also, there's no male connector in the iMac to connect the card to. The AirPort card fits and works properly in both, my G4 MDD and my 867 PB. I thought this card was supposed to work in my iMac. Am I missing something?
Thanks a lot for any help you may provide.
Jacobo

Yes that card fits but you also need the adapter. More information can be found in Duane, "iMac CRT: I want to make my iMac wireless...", 01:51pm Jan 31, 2005 CDT.

I want to create and then email holiday cards from my iMAC. All I can find are IOS apps. Are then any OS X apps to do this?

Two apps that I have that do different types of greeting cards.
The Print Shop Pro.
Swift Publisher
And, if I remember correctly, the free image editor, Gimp, has templates for different greeting cards, also.

When I insert an SD card into the iMac nothing happens. It worked fine until today, I double clicked on the card icon on the desk top and it disappeared! Any suggestions?

When I insert an SD card into the iMac nothing happens. It worked until today, when I double clicked on the SD card icon on the desktop and then it disappeared! Cannot find in "Finder". iPhoto does not open upon inserting card. Reformatted card with device (camera). Used Time machine to restart computer before the double click occurence...did not lhelp. Any suggestions?

Have a look in Finder Preferences: Click on the desktop, Finder>Finder Preferences.General tab - is there a tick in "External Disks'? If not, tick it.

I am printing a Quarter fold card, using a IMac Desktop.

I am printing a Quarter fold card, using a IMac Desktop. The "printable area" is small for all panels to print on. How can I change manually the printable area size, somewhere in the "Printers Folder" ? I know I can't change the size of the printable area with just the regular settings. I have an HP 6540 printer. Please advice.
Sincerely,
Darryl Arenson

Welcome back to the forums @Macdog64
I read your post about changing the printable area size, and I am honestly unsure if this can be done. I would suggest trying the HP Photo Creations software to see if you can change the area size. It could be worth a shot!
Good luck

REG: Delete the card information inside the Payment Cards tab in XD02.

Hi All,
Requirement is to delete the card information inside the Payment Cards tab in XD02.
Providing any hints/suggestions / sample code for BDC in doing this shall be greaful.
Deleting the Credit card information like CCINS,CCNUM,DATBI,CC_GUID,CCMASK etc from XD02 screen.
Waiting for your replies.
Thanks
Srikanth

Hi,
You do it using BDC. Also you can do it using the FM: SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL. Here in every table there is field KZ. You need to pass D (to delete) for the required tables.
Before going for BDC try to use this FM.
Thanks

Corrupt CF Card Error on iMac, but not other computers

I have tried 5 different CF cards from 3 different manufacturers, 2 of which were band new right out of the box. Took photos using 3 different camera each time formating the cards.
I can download the photos via a USB 3.0 Verbatim card reader to my Mac Mini, or to any of my Windows based bachines with zero problem or error. But when I try to download the same cards to my iMAC I get persistant corrupt card errors (message says the card was ejected improperly). The card stays mounted, and I can slowely get the photos off the card a few at a time if I eject and reseed the card (properly ejecting).
I never had a problem before, it seems like this cropped up about 2 weeks ago.
I have narrowed it down to the iMAC as the problem, not the cards, not the card reader persay, and I have tried differnt USB ports, they all do the same thing.
funny that I can use that same card reader and cards on any other computer without problem.
Anyone know what might be causing this

Hi, it sort of sounds like a low USB power issue on the iMac, might try an AC powered USB hub...

Of course it could be something else...
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. Or an errant process eating up RAM.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

There have been many issues reported with Kodak cameras - serach the forums for them
Actually the best practise is to use a card reader to import your photos, verify that they are imported ocrrectly and wait at least one backup cycle and then use the camera's format command to reformat the card and erase it - this assures no lost photos and always having the card properly formatted

How can i connect PCI Cards to my iMac ?

Hi there,
I wanted to buy some UAD(Plug-Ins) PCI cards for my Home Recording Studio, but as far as I know, there is no way I can expand my iMac in such a way.
Does anybody knows a way to insert/install/integrate a PCI/PCIe card to the iMac ?
Cheers!
PS. MacWorld is just days appart.... hopefully they will unveil a new iMac with a new motherboard and more possibilites to expand the system

It is not possible to add PCI cards to an iMac. If you need expansion of this type a Mac Pro would be the better choice as it has multiple slots.
There may be some sort of breakout box that you could attach but it is going to be real slow if anything is available at all and probably not fast enough for your audio work.

Graphics Card Options on iMac 20 and 24 inch

I hate thelack of consumer graphics cards options for the iMac. I was going to buy the 20" iMac and upgrade the memory to 256MB when I decided to check out the 24".
On the Canadian site, to upgrade the 20" X1600 card to 256MB is $150. On the 24", to go from the Geforce 7300 128MB to the Geforce 7600 256MB is only $90. Ram 'AND' better(slightly?) graphics card upgrade.
Can someone explain as I asked an Apple retailer and they couldn't.
I went into CompuSmart afterwards and they actually had a X1600 card but it had 512MB on it. (For $150, I'd think I'd get an upgrade to 512, not 256).
I guess us consumers don't need more powerful graphics cards.
iMac Core2Duo Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Let me see if I can explain this to you.
The grahics card in the iMac 20" is an ATI Radeon X1600. It comes standard with 128 MB of VRAM. You can upgrade the VRAM to 256 MB for $75 on the U.S. store. That's $150 on the Canadian store.
The standard graphics card in the 24" iMac is an NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT with 128 MB of VRAM. The upgrade option here is not just adding more VRAM, but putting a whole new card in the iMac. The 256 MB VRAM option for the iMac 24" is a NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT with 256 MB VRAM. That upgrade is $125 on the U.S. store. That's $90 on the Canadian store.
The only way I can think that this is possible is because, in Canada, ATI's cards might be more expensive than NVIDIA's cards.
There is no option on any iMac to get any graphics card with 512 MB of VRAM in it.
Hope this Helps

Airport cards on both iMac and AppleTV require 'disabling' to get Full N

Both my iMac and my AppleTV will initially connect to my Base Station Extreme (N) at 130Mbit, even though the Base Station is set to 5GHz. If I disable the airport card on my iMac and re-enable it to re-establish connection I go up to 270Mbit. Same with the AppleTV.
This seems to happen consistently. Has anyone else come across this and is there a fix?

Mark, first welcome to the discussions.
There are so many things that could cause your problems.
More often than not doing a Software update, can cause loosing all sorts of things, for various reasons.
Here is a link that tells some recommended steps to follow to keep things like you have expierianced from happening.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607293
If I may suggest, I have found that sometimes a complete System Reset will work.
1st turn off your computers.
2nd Pull the Powere Adapters from both your Internet Service Providers Modem, and your Router.
Next you wait for 5 or so minutes.
After your wait start buy plugging in your Internet Service Providers Modem, and wait for it to re-gain the lights and your signal.
After you Modem has regained the signal and the lights, then you can plug back in your Router, and again you have to wait untill it regains the lights and signal on your Router.
Now if you haven't changed any of your settings you can restart your computers one at a time, and each computer should re-acquire the signal and should work.

Here is yet another link that has some really good information and can be usefull for you and others
Good Luck. Don

How can I change the actions taken when I insert an SD card to my iMac?

When I insert an SD card in my iMac it copies all the photos in a directory and deletes them from SD card.
How can I change that? I just want to view my pics and then be asked if copied or not.
Thanks in advance.

You have the option in iPhoto to delete or keep the photos on the SD card or Camera when the photos are finished importing into iPhoto.
To change what happens when you plug in an SD card or Camera you will need to open Image Capture in your Applications Folder.
In Image Capture:
1 select and highlight the SD card in the list of Devices
2 click on the pointers in blue at the bottom for Connecting this camera/card/device
3 change the action for to any one of the other options there, No Application (if for example you want to open it with Finder) or to Preview (if for example you want Preview to open) the SD card.

Can I change the graphic card in my Imac 21.5 2012 year

Can I change the graphic card in my Imac 21.5 2012 year.

You can't change the graphics card on 2012 model of iMac (unless you are talking about the THICK iMacs then I don't know). If you do want to change graphics card, then it probably needs expertise on soldering skills. CPU, RAM and HDD/SSD can be changed. The RAM is not soldered in. I have seen someone changed the RAM. Please check iFixit website for information on 2012 iMac:

Also, don't forget that the screen is glued.
