SD card reader suggestions please

I just got a new DSLR and really was hoping to use ipad's "photos" app when I'm away from home. I'm unsure what is a good reliable card reader for ipad air, so lightning to sd card reader is what I think I'm looking for. The products available seem to get plenty of absolutely terrible reviews from users, so I thought I should get in here see if anyone has had success, and if so with what product?
thanks everyone!!
Ciao!

To import photos from an SD card that was formatted and used in a camera you need the Lightning to SD Card Reader. Here is the link to that in the Apple Store.

Another option is to connect the camera directly to the iPad. This will allow transfer of photos on the card to the iPad while the card is still in the camera. It is called the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter.

Card Reader Suggestions

This is a bit off topic, but I can't figure out where else to post it.
I have a Dazzle CF card reader that I've been using with my desktop computer (and iPhoto) for years. It works, but is USB 1, so it's a bit pokey. I bought the USB 2 version of the reader when it came out; it claimed Mac compatibility, but it would not work with any Mac I ever attached it to. I finally gave it to a friend of mine who happily uses it with a WIndows machine.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a good USB 2 CF card reader? I download lots of photos (I'm downloading some 500 right now), and would like a nice, small dedicated reader that I could leave hooked up to the computer. I have a nice little Firewire unit that I use with my laptop, but don't want to have to be switching it around all the time. The Dazzle unit is nice because it stands on a base and is unobtrusive.
Any suggestions?
BTW, I bought a small multi-card reader last summer, and found that it wouldn't recognize about half of my CF cards. That was a waste......

Firewire CF Card Reader Compatible Please Lexar is NOT!

Just bought a $50 Lexar Firewire Compact Flash reader only to find out it is not supported by Tiger or Lexar for Tiger. It would be nice to get a patch from Apple or a driver from Lexar but I'm not holding my breath. Right now I just want to know if there is another firewire CF card reader that will for sure work on my G4 tower running 10.4.5 Thanks!

Alex - I have the same card reader...it works FINE with my 1G Sandisk Ultra II - BUT Tiger will NOT mount a 2G Lexar card in the same reader....I've exchanged the reader twice and still no joy....WHAT IS UP WITH THIS? I can find nothing on any of the Mac forums here or elswhere and can't believe others are not having a problem...??? any ideas...anyone?

Archlinux installed on SD card not booting w/o external card reader

Hello, this is my first time here, so hopefully I don't sound too much like an idiot.
I've been trying to install Archlinux to an 8GB SDHC cards (Tried on two different ones, Kingston and Polaroid). I'm doing this via an Archlinux live CD on my Desktop (HP m9040n with Windows 7) through it's built-in SD Card reader. The install goes nicely, and I can boot from the SD card alright on my desktop. However, when I put the card into my ASUS eeePC 900's SD card slot, it won't boot, showing:
Buffer I/O error, dev sda, sector 16015344
Root device '/dev/disk/by-uuid/[UUID]' doesn't exist. Attempting to create it.
ERROR: Unable to determine major/minor nubmer of root device '/dev/disk/by-uuid/[UUID]'
You are being dropped to a recovery shell
Type 'exit' to try and continue booting
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
sda is the SD card.
Now for the fun part, when I put the SD card into a USB all-in-one card reader, and hook that up to the eeePC, it boots fine. I followed the USB guide on the wiki site, and it boots alright on anything but the eeePC built-in card reader. Please help Let me know what other information you need. Thanks in advanced.
-Adam

ok... so im in the exact same boat.. trying to get Archlinux on an SD card with xbmc. had some trouble in the installer but figured it out after looking at this board and the various wikis. however i am having the exact same issue. i now have usb hook enabled and detecting and mounting the SD card. however it just hangs shortly after this and after about 5 minutes will just start to work and boot normally.
this is unacceptable for a media system, and not sure what the cause is... casual.formality, did you find a solution?
thanks.
just wanted to add that im using the latest netboot installer and using UUID, system is an acer aspire revo.

Ideapad U160 - Internal Card Reader Issue After Sleep

Hi All.
I've just purchased a Lenovo U160 and I've not been able to solve an issue with the internal card reader. It's a "Realtek USB 2.0 Card Reader" internally wired to the motherboard.
When I got the laptop, I put a Momentus XT in it and installed Windows. I've tried using the drivers that were included on the Lenovo recovery partition, the ones on their website, and the ones direct from Realtek with no success.
The problem is, when my laptop resumes from sleep mode, I get a fair few "new USB device" noises and about the same number of "USB device not recognized" errors. If I look in the device manager when this happens, the card reader is no longer there, and I have an "Unknown Device".
After a shut down, or a reboot, it's back again.
I've tried another clean install of Windows but I'm still having the same issue (I've applied KB974476 and KB978258 before installing the drivers).
There are no sleep options in the BIOS, it's very basic. I am running out of ideas..
Any thoughts?

Blackberry Smart Card Reader 7250 and Blackberry Bold 9000 connecting and pairing

As the subject line states, I am trying to connect and pair the Card Reader with the Device. I am unsuccessful in following the steps to Pair the Device with the Card Reader.
When I attemp to Click Connect from the Security Options/Smart Card/Registered Reader Drivers/Blackberry, and after I enter the reader ID on the device I receive an error "Connection to unknow device fail" and then it tries to connect 2 more times, and I receive the error "Unable to connect your Blackberry Smart Card Reader. Please verify that the reader is turned on, that you have correctly specified the reader ID, and that the reader is not alreadt paired with another Blackberry.
Could someone provide some assistance?

I've received the same error. It's a known issue with a batch of new readers. I called RIM and they said an updated software package should be made available online in the next day or so which will address/resolve the problem.

Media card reader not working

Hi:
I have a Compaq Perserio A900 running Vista
My built in media card reader has stopped recognizing my cards when I put them it. Usually a green lite will light up on the card and then the auto run will pop up, but not nothing.
The only thing I've done recently was install a sandisk ultra backup 16gig flash drive hardware and I use the flash drive in the USB port that is just above the card reader.
I also have 2 other USB ports on the right side of the computer. I was going to use on of them for the flash drive, but they seem to be dead or something. I tried to plug my iphone into them and they do nothing, it doesn't charge or anything.
Do each USB's have to be dedicated to a particular pariphial?
I guess I can live with one USB working but I certainly need my card reader to work.
Help would be appreciated.

After Adobe's servers were breached I received a phonecall from my bank, stating that someone had used my credit card at a hotel in Mexico (I live in Ohio). I closed that credit card and was issued a new card. I want to update my card information on my Creative Cloud subscription. I chatted via the web with a customer service rep today. He was anable to help me. He suggested I call the Care Center. The hold was estimated at 2 hours. All I want to do is update my card information so the next time Adobe automatically bills for my subscription the transaction doesn't bounce.

Hi Iolenslooker,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
It's possible you may need to replace the shortcut to Aperture that is on your Dock. I would suggest first closing both applications. Then open Finder, and in the Applications folder, double click on the Aperture application. If the Aperture launches, then you can delete the shortcut from the dock, and create a new one by dragging the Aperture icon from the Applications folder to the dock. The article below will explain more:
Mac Basics: The Dock
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2474
To remove an item from the Dock, drag its icon an inch or more off the Dock and wait a couple seconds, then release; the icon will disappear in a poof of smoke.
Don't worry, you aren't permanently removing the item from your computer; you simply got rid of its Dock icon. If you want that item back in the Dock, locate the application, file, or folder in the Finder (or with Spotlight), and drag it back into the Dock.
Cheers,
- Judy

SSRS 2008 R2 - on Preview report in report builder itself, getting an error "Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt". Any Suggestions please to resolve it?

Hi,
I am working on SSRS 2008 R2. On Preview report in report builder itself, i am getting an error "Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt".
See my below screen shoot.
Any Suggestions please to resolve it?

Hi Venkat,
According to the error message, I guess that the error occurred when you previewed the report in Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS).
Based on my research, I think it may be a Window Layout issue of Visual Studio. Please try the steps below:
Click “Window” button from the toolbar ribbon.
Click “Reset Windows Layout” option.
Click “Yes” to finish the operation.
The following thread is for your reference:

The lack of response is deafening. Im guessing then that Firefoix has serious issues then?..well it'll be there loss if more, like me, opt for Internet Explorer and Google Chrome (both these browsers work fine with the latest Flash Player installed)

Hi -graffiti
Thank you again for your 10.24 post. I tried your suggestions today. The university computer lab i use has Adobe Acrobat Pro 6. The OCR function is under the dropdown menu "Documents>>Paper Capture". This permits conversion a scanned page to searchable text. Before beginning it asks you to select 1 of 2 Settings defined as: "Primary OCR Language English", or "PDF Output Style: Searchable Image (Exact)". That is the only choice to be made before conversion begins. After the conversion you can review and correct suspect words on captured pages. I tried both choices and regardless of which ended up with a document that was searchable, but still would not permit highlighting (I selected text with the highlight tool, clicked and dragged over a captured page, and nothing happened, same result as my earlier post). If I search for a particular word, all occurrences become shade-highlighted but if I expressly attempt to highlight a word with the highlighter it won't do it.
Do you have any suggestions as to how I might further massage the data?

USB card reader not recognized on Intel Mac! Suggestions?

I'm a very experienced user and own several Macs. I just replaced my PowerBook G4 with a new MacBook Pro (MBP). I used Migration Assistant to copy all files and settings and was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked.
But the MBP doesn't recognize my USB compact flash card reader when inserted. The driver is definitely in place -- but for good measure, I downloaded and installed a fresh copy from the manufacturer. But still, no go. The LED lights up, but the drive never mounts. Yet, when I plug it into an older PowerBook (also running Tiger), iPhoto opens immediatelly.
Is this possibly an Intel-compatibility issue? I know that applications had to be updated, but I hadn't heard that drivers like this were affected. The manufacturer (Delkin) hasn't updated the driver since 2002, but there are various ways to interpret that (could be the driver doesn't need updating, or could be negligence).
All suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.

Syncopator:
Check the Image Capture preferences to make sure iPhoto is selected as the application to open when a camera/card reader is connected. It may have been missed in the migration.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar
