Sd card reader on t500-not working,what to do?

sda standard complaint sd host controller thats what it says in my
device manager
i have t500 with vista 32
how do i access the card?
when i go to the device manager it says - no drivers are installed for this device.
what to do?!!
thanks!

Not sure why the driver would not already be installed, but you can go get it from the Thinkpad web site.
Here is the driver matrix page for my T-500. The driver should be the same - bookmark this page for future reference.

I believe the driver you need is the one for the "SmartCard" reader. Install that, and see if that fixes things.
If not, post back here - maybe someone more knowledgeable than me will get you on track.

Inbuilt speakers, microphone & SD card reader slot is not working from day one

Dear friend
I bought my HP mini (model no. Hp Mini 110-3009TU; Sr. No. CNC02139GY) on 14th august 2010 from Home Comforts, MP Nagar Bhaopl, Madhya Pradesh, India. I bought it without any operating system and installed Linux [Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid)] on it. I'd like to inform you that it has two problems form day one.
First problem is with inbuilt speakers & microphone, which are not functioning. However my headphone are working with this laptop. So I believe there is no problem with sound related driver. I think it is a hardware problem.
Second problem is in SD card reader slot, which doesn't read inserted SD card.
I've gone to HP service centre situated in MP Nagar, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. Experts over there said that they'll have to formate existing operating system (Linux) and need to install Windows to 'check' whether the said hardware(speakers, microphone & SD card reader) are working or not. Otherwise I've to bring one more laptop so same brand and same model, then only they can check by replacing parts.
Both the options they'd given were ridiculous! I didn't understood why they are forcing me to install Windows?
If HP is also selling laptops without any operating system, then it means the costumer is free to install any operating system of his/her choice. And why should I bring one more laptop? Doesn't your service centre equipped with proper instruments and expertise to check hardware of a laptop?
Pretty girls working in your service centre were totally unaware of card reader – how does it functions?
Even they didn't had any SD card to insert and check.
One among them told me in soft voice: “Sir, you'll have to purchase one 'Jack' for this.” When I inquired further what is 'Jack' and why should I have to purchase it when all other laptops doesn't need such jack? She gone mute as my inbuilt speakers.
Even if I do allow your service centre to install Windows to try out whether speakers, microphone and card reader is working or not, its sure 'experts' at your service centre will install pirated version of Windows. Is it not a malpractice? Does HP allow its service centre to do so??
And further, even if I ignore your malfunctioning for my benefit, could your service centre assure me that inbuilt speakers, microphone and card reader will function properly in Linux as well. Because I would like to continue using Linux.
I request you to look into the matter and tell me what to do.
regards,

Sd card reader for ipad not working

My sd card reader which I just purchased at best buy and is an apple product is not working. Although there are pictures on it from my camera to my laptop to the sd card it says there are no images. We need this to work for a trip we will be making soon. Need to use it to share photos in a shoot between other photographers and was hoping to use ipad mini.

TO be read by the iPad those photos must follow a very strict naming convention. THey need to be in a folder named DCIM and have a file name of exactly 8 characters, DSC_4837.jpg for example. (this is how most cameras work, so anything manually put ont he card has to follow the naming convention)
The card you're playing with, does it have photos on it that you put on there or photos directly from your camera?
Another thing if the formatting is right, sometimes the port gets turned off ,so to speak. Try giving your iPad a reset to turn things back on. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds, until your iPad reboots. Then try again.

HT4101 Why does my lightning sd card reader connection kit not work on my iPad mini since I upgraded to ios7.

Why is my lightning sd card reader not working on my iPad mini since I updated to ios7. It worked perfectly well before upgrade.

Try rebooting your iPad: Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.
Is the lightning kit you use an Apple kit or aftermarket? If it is Apple and after rebooting it does not work, return it to an pple Store and they will replace it.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) will not read an SD card in the SDXC card reader. Does anyone know whats going on?

Hi David. I don't have as modern a Macbook Pro as you, mine is a 2012 model, but perhaps I can help. I often find that my SD card will not load when I first insert it. I have to remove it and then put it into the slot again firmly.
You also haven't posted any information about the SD card. What size is it, do you know how it is formatted, has it worked in that same mac previously, where did it come from, does it currently work in another device (such as your camera)? This sort of information will help to narrow down the problem.
If you post some more information I'm sure people will try to help you. In the meantime, if you look at your post again you should see "More Like This" at the bottom of the page and you may find an answer in some of those related posts.
Hope that helps.

How long have you had your phone? Because if you've had it a long time, the battery in the phone might of died on you. Or have you dropped it in water, snow, from high up? All those things could of disconnected something internally in your phone, or permentaly damaged the internal hard drive its self, or the sims card.

I am using Mac book with windows 7. But my sound card and cam is not working when booted through windows. How can I solve this?
Thanks

Assuming that you tried to install Win 7 in bootcamp.
Power on the machine and press and hold the "option" key when you hear the bong sound.
Select the Macintosh HD icon and press "return" or just click on the icon.
Once booted into OS X go to System Preferences and select the Startup Disk icon and configure startup to use the Macintosh HD.

my sons ipod is disabled from trying password to many times my usb port on my computer does not work. what else can i do to get this disabled off my sons ipod please help!!!

The only thing you can do is place the iPod in Recovery mode and restore via iTunes on a computer. It is a good security feature.

I am trying to log on to iwork but it keeps saying that my password is incorrect. I have already reset it and entered my new password and it still is not working. what should i do?

I really can't comprehend the logic that leads to believe that password for old apple id will come to e-mail for new id. Buy may be I just misunderstood something. Contact Apple for assist with password retrieval. If you can verify yourself as account owner they may be able to help you.

Even new purchases are not always fully up to date. Check and see by going to Settings > General > Software Update and see if it says it is up to date or not.
Also keep in mind that you need a WiFi connection for FaceTime.
