SD card reads full when is not

Imac reads SD card full when is half full, I formatted in the phone and out of the phone, fat32 and fat16, i can't only load 50 songs in a 2gig SD card,

Hi, I have the encountered the same thing. to be specific, I have a Macbook Pro (late 2011 model). 4 GB memory and 500 GB SATA disk. now its showing that i have 1 GB free out of the 499.25 GB. It is crazy! i checked all the files i have (including apps and documents and even itunes library) it only added up to 186 GB. I deleted unimportant files but it just freed up like a few MBs. It's also curious to note that my friend who also just bought macbook pro 2 weeks ago is also experiencing the same problem. Please help me with this. any information will do. i also need to know how i can check for hidden files..plsss..

San Disk Flash card will says card is full when I try to import files

Hi I'm using a quadcore G5. I'm also using a roland spd-s drum sampleing pad that takes compact flash cards. I have a reader hooked up to my computer, and I'm trying to import wav files onto the card. I Imported a few but now it's saying the card is full, when the view options obviously state that there is 286.9 MB of free space. The File I'm tring to import is only 1000 KB. I tried to restart the computer and the same thing happens. Has anyone ever run into this? Any sugestions on what might be going on?
thank you for your time

I haven't seen this specific problem, but flash memory can be tempermental at times. I'd suggest moving everything off the flash card onto your hard drive. Then reformat the flash card with a MSDOS File System (FAT16) format using /Utilities/Disk Utility. After the drive is reformatted, try copying the files back to the flash disk.
If that doesn't work, there could be other issues at play. The file that you're trying to copy could be corrupt. The flash drive may be bad (either from the factory or it has reached the end of its read/rewrite lifespan). There could be something going on with the flash reader on the Roland box. You could borrow someone's USB flash card reader to test that.

How can I test the onboard sd card reader as it does not recognise a card when I put on in the reader?

Hi
Is it possible to run a test to check that the on board sd card reader is recognised, as I can't get a card to mount onto the desktop when I put a card into the reader.
Thanks

Hi Allan
I have tried ten different makes of card and they are all the same. Even tried a brand new one straight out of the packet. That did not work. All the cards work with my wifes old windows laptop.

Why doesn't my card reader work when I take it from the camera and put it in the reader? Nothing happens and it doesn't show up in finder.

When I put my card into the reader, nothing happens. It doesn't show up in finder so I can't dismount it. The pictures on it aren't readeable all of a sudden, except for two of them, and that's all that would download to iphoto, but I had to connect the camera since the card reader doesn't resond.

Hi bricknut dab,
Welcome to the Support Communities! Are you asking about the SD slot on your Mac, or is this an external card reader plugged into a USB port? If it is the one on your Mac, the article below may be helpful. Did you try more than one SD card? You can use Disc Utility to erase and reformat the card if needed.
About the SD and SDXC card slot
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3553
I put the card in the slot, but it did not mount. What should I do?
Remove the card and insert it again. Sometimes, if you put the SD card into the slot too slowly, it may not mount properly.
Can I reformat an SD card with Disk Utility?
Yes. Using Disk Utility, you can partition and format an SD device as FAT32 (using the MS-DOS FAT setting) or Mac OS Extended. The Mac OS Extended format can only be used on Macintosh systems. Cards formatted to Mac OS Extended will not be recognized by non-Apple systems. Formatting cards larger than 32GB for use with digital cameras, GPS, and other devices may require formatting them with the exFAT file system. When in doubt, format the cards in the device you intend to use with the card.
Cheers,
- Judy

I just bought a Quantaray All-in-one card reader. It does not work with my Macbook OSX.

I just bought a Quantaray All-in-one card reader. My Macbook OSX does not seem to read it. I have tried attaching it with iphoto on both before and after attaching the card reader to the computer and also have tried another card. Directions say that a green light should come on to prove that connection has been made; I only get a red light. I am Europe with no help and am desperate. Can anyone out there please help? Thanks.

There is no way to use the Thunderbolt display with a computer that has no Thunderbolt port.

It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is interfering otherwise.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

I have a Panasonic FZ38 HD camera. I can load and view my hd movies onto iMovie with no problems via my camera or a card reader. When I try to copy my hd videos from my old Windows pc to my new iMac, the picture speed has doubled but the sound is normal.

I have a Panasonic DMC-FZ38 HD camera and have lots of hd movie clips stored on my old Windows Pc using Photofun software supplied by Panasonic, which I want to transfer to my new Imac computer. I am able to copy my most recent movies that are still on the memory card from my camera onto Imovie and view them with no problems at all. When it comes to copying my old existing hd movies stored on my Windows Pc (and which are no longer stored on a memory card), I discover that when I view them on the Imovie, the speed has doubled but the sound is normal. In order to transfer my old movies I have copied them back onto a memory card (SDHC - the same card as previously used) and then put the card back into my camera and then copied them onto my Imac via the camera USB. I have also used a card reader but get the same result. If I view the same movie through my camera, or look at it on my old pc, it plays at normal speed. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening please?

have you read and watch the Tutorials..? :
http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#imovie
iM is a bit.. iffy, when it comes to the definition, what a 'camera' is. historically, only tape based machines were a movie-camera. nowadays still-cams allow movin' images too..
but, as mentioned above: the intended workflow is: material from photo cameras (even when they move) => import via iPhoto; material from video cameras (even when they don't move.. ) => iMovie
when the import is done, you'll notice in all iLife apps the 'media browser' - in iM09, on the very right, the icon with a camera on.. click it, presto, all (incl. your 'videos') your iPhoto Library at hand for usage in iMovie.

Satelllite A100-773 and WIN 7: Card Reader and Fn-Hotkeys not working

SD card reader on Pavilion g7 not working

I have a Pavilion g7 notebook, and lately the sd card reader hasn't been working. I use it to drag music files onto my phone's sd card (I have an adapter) but when I tried to do so today, it kept saying the drive was busy although it wasn't.
I read through the forum and kept seeing the recommendation to reinstall the Realtek SD reader. SO I did that, yet nothing has happened. Please help! I would love to have my music on my phone

FYI - to fix problem i had to do a manual install from Device Manager using the "have disk" feature. From that popup, pick the SD Reader, then Ricoh as the manufacturer, THEN click on Have Disk and choose the location for the extracted driver (C:\WIN\DRIVERS\MEDIA).
Good luck!

CD, SD card reader and Touch pad not working

Hi, I have a mid 2009 MacBookPro. Some months ago my touch pad started to play up, it works sometimes but does not let me move screens around etc, then my SD card reader stopped reading any SD cards, I have tried pushing it in a number of times, I have attempted to use it with iPhoto open, no joy. Now my CD drive is not working and does recognise any disc I put in. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on????

I have Mac mini Mid 2010. It will no longer open photo memory card in SD reader. It also won't recognize a card reader device when connected to USB. It never had this problem before. Any thoughts?

I have Mac mini Mid 2010. It will no longer open photo memory card in SD reader slot. Plus, I've tried using a card reading device in USB slot, and it won't open that either. Any thoughts?

Do other USB things work?
Do they show up in Disk Utility at all?

Capacity Reading Full When It Isn't

Well, I recently backed up all my files using my iPod as a flash drive, just in case my computer was reformatted when I updated to Leopard.
However, after I deleted everything from my iPod, it's still reading as nearly full. (10 GB Muisc, 1 GB Video, 15.76 Other). But when I click on my iPod to view the folders, there's absolutely nothing there.
I haven't reformatted it yet, because I do not wish to lose the songs I have on it, but I'm hoping there is some other way to update the capacity (or find out what I did wrong when deleting the files).
Help!

the flash drive function is totally weird.....you would have to use a long transfer cord to plug into a computer... Why dont you people just get a Flash Drive? You can get a 512 MB at office depot for 5 bucks and a 2GB for 20 bucks and and 8 GB for a measly 35 bucks!!!
No disrespect meant...just pointing it out. Of course I am not protesting you using it as a flash drive if you want to back up YOUR computer. I kind of overlooked that......I only use flash drive for small things like (ahem) "liberating" music from my younger bro's iTunes.

New hard disk full when is not

Hi. I have a Mac 10.4.11. Two years ago the original hard drive died so I took it to the computer store and replaced it with a new and larger hard drive. It's working great.
When I go to disk utility, it says
CAPACITY 297.8
AVAILABLE 219.2
USED 78.2
so why do I get the msg that the hard drive is full. Is there anything that I can do to fix this?
Thanks!

Sorry for my late answer.
Your previous post: Disc Utility to erase free space bring nothing : the free space is free. You should verify your disc to see if there is some problem in the file system.
From your second post I understand that you can try to delete some files. Have you already emptied the basket or you do not empty it from time to time ? There could be a lot of stuff.
Also some Apps have theyr own basket or a place to keep deleted data like mail.
Check if you have duplicates and if you can delete something or move something to an externald Disc.
Best solution whould be to change again the Startup disc with a bigger one.

I have a MacBook Pro and have an older SD card reader but it will not read new cards. Is there a new reader that I need to install. I have MAC OS X 10.6.8

Does anyone know why my computer will not read newer SD cards. I have a reader that read early cards fine but not the new ones.

How many GB is your new card?
Older machines have SD card slot, new machines have SDX card slot.

Mac and Word say 2GB Flashdrive is full, when its not

All of a sudden, my 2GB Flashdrive is saying its full and Word will not let me save to it and I can't drag files into it. I know I've never put that much on it, nor have I deleted anything off of it.
Any suggestions?

Hi Beth,
If it's Fat32/MS-DOS format you'll get a full error if there are too many files at root of the drive.
You'll need to remove/delete at least one item so you can make a folder, then move everything else to that folder. Make more folders for newer things, as Folders have limit's also, just not as limited as the root... top level of the drive.
