SDHC Card not writable?

Hello,
I need help.
I have the older IMAC with leopard without the cardslot, but I have an USB cardreader.
Now i bought a scandisk 8GB SDHC card and whenever i plug it in it appears with NO NAME but i can not transfer things to it. when i get the info it says it can not be modified and it is ONLY READ. i unlocked it but nothing changed.
Can anybody help me with that? Does my old imac does not read it?
thanks any help appreciated!

I had this problem too. A brand new 8Gb SDHC card. I tried it in the MacBook card reader (which is a bit finicky; need to jiggle it in there just to get it to mount), and I also tried a USB adapter. Neither would mount it as writable. I tried the card lock in both positions with no success.
I wrapped a piece of scotch tape around the card and now it works fine.

SDHC cards not working anymore on Lenovo U310

Hello,
The integrated SD card reader of my Lenovo U310 used to work fine until a couple of months ago.
However, now it does not read SDHC cards (it used to read them)! It reads fine standard SD cards, and also micro SDHC cards (using their adapter of course).
My girlfriend owns my same laptop and she has no problem at all! Her laptop has always read fine SDHC cards.
The device manager recognizes the SDHC card and if I go to “my pc” I cannot see it there unless I tick the “Hidden Items”.
I tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers
Download and install the official “Alcor CardReader Driver” from the official Lenovo U310 support page
Comparing the drivers the computer uses with the drivers on my girlfriend computer and they are identical!!
Change the drive letter from disk management
Format and re-installed Windows 8.1 64bits
Nothing helped!
Please note that if I uninstall the drivers and re-insert the SDHC card, the computer plays the sound and install the drivers, but the card remains not accessible.

Is anybody able to help me?

Hello,
Thanks for your reply.
I have tried 2 different SDHC cards:
1. San Disk 16GB Class 10 (30MB/s)
2. Toshiba 16GB Class 10
They both work on any other computer and cameras.
I also tested them on my girlfriend's computer (she owns exaclty the same laptop that I have, Lenovo U310).
Thus, the SDHC cards ar not faulty.
"make sure the port isn't blocked in the Y50". What do you mena exactly?
The reader works fine with standard SD cards, or with micro SDHC cards (using the adapter adapter).
I tried to use some partition manager but did not work. "Please insert a disk in D: .... "
Thanks for helping

SDHC cards not recognized, xD cards read perfectly

I have a problem with the card reader in my HP x18 1080ED notebook.
When I put a 2GB xD memory card in the slot the card is recognized and shows up in My Computer and I can view the contents.
But when I put in a SDHC card, 256MB or 8GB of 16GB, the light besides the reader lights up 8 times and then nothing happens. The card is not showing up in My Computer.
I updated the driver, reinstalled it but no effect. I also check the cards in another computer also HP and the cards work on that computer. What is the problem can anyone help me!
Thanks, hope you can help.

your computer is a dv8-1080ed Correct?
If so it may not support the SDHC type card. I would got to the HP website and search Product information and Troubleshooting tab, in the Manuals section there should be a entry called External Media where it will list the type of cards your system supports. For the dv8-1080ed It doesn't appear that the SDHC cards are supported.

SDHC Card not recognized in finder but shows up in disk utility.

I have an SDHC card that I can only find in the disk utility. When I try to verify it won't. It also won't let me try to restore it.
Info:
Macbook Pro
Mac OS X 10.7.4
32 GB SDHC
I have also tried this on a 24" iMac that is also 10.7.4 with the same problem.

Very bad.
If select the SDHC card in Disk Utility, what does Disk Utility have to say about it?

Nikon D800 raw files taken with Sandisk extreme plus 32GB SDHC card got corrupted. Able to preview them in Lightroom4.4 Library, but not able to import or transfer the files from card to computer. Any ideas on how to save images from Library Window in Lig

Hi, I have shot few pictures on 31st December night in RAW mode using Nikon D800 and Sandisk extreme plus 32GB SDHC card. It looks like card got some memory errors so not able to transfer the files from Card to computer. However I am able to view the pics thru Lightroom ver 4.4 Library, but when I tried to import them, it gives me an error stating that file can't be read.
Is there a way to save the pics from Library window in lightroom overcoming the card read errors ?
Thanks in advance

Hi SSPRENGEL,

Satellite Pro A200 Windows XP, 4Gb SDHC Card does not work.

Hi,
I have had a Satellite Pro A200 installed with Windows XP, SP2 for some time - No problems there, a great piece of kit. However I recently have bought a new camera and splashed out on a Kingston 4Gb SDHC card. The manual for my A200 seemes to indicate that it my laptop is compatible with SDHC cards to 4Gb however when I push the card in the LED flashes blue briefly and then nothing happens. My SDHC card does not appear to be recognised by the system.
I see no errors in my OS event log and I have checked the slots operation by trying an older 512Mb SD card and that works fine.
Can anybody offer any help please?
For reference this laptop is a Model PSAE4E A200.
Many Thanks in advance
Simon

If the above fix does not work (which it didn't for me on a Satellite Pro A100 running XP), try

New Curve not recognizing an 8gig micro SDHC card

Hi - I am totally new to the BB and to this forum. Here's my dilemma - I just bought and "installed" an 8gig micro SDHC card last night. The phone does not recorgnize it. First when I went to take video, it told me to install a formatted card. When I try to format, I get the message "Media Card Format Failed". I have tried many times, checked on how it looks in it's spot behind the battery, etc. Everything else seems OK. Any help??
Thanks much.

What I can deduce from my experience is that one should not buy a SDHC card if you've got a curve 9300 or 9330 phone. Even if the SP tell you the model is compatible with the technology, blackberry specs only mention that SD cards are accepted
http://worldwide.blackberry.com/blackberrycurve/3G/curve_specifications.jsp
Hello,
Sorry...but wrong. The only difference between SD and SDHC is the capacity of the card. SD goes up to 2GB (officially...some have labeled themselves SD but go to 4GB). SDHC goes from 4GB to 32GB. HC simply stands for "High Capacity." More information is available in the Wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital
So, while the BB specs may only say "SD", they must include SDHC since they further indicate the capacity of Media Cards that various OS levels support:

My hp dm3-3027cl card reader can not recognize the class 10 sdhc card

My hp dm3-3027cl card reader can not recognize the class 10 sdhc card. I downloaded and installed the card reader driver from HP web site for this dm3-3027cl, but still have same problem. There isn't a problem on class 6 SDHC card. It seems some other computers have the same problem on reading the class 10 SDHC card. My toshiba e105 laptop has no probblem to read class 10 SDHC card.

IMac not recognising Sandisk 16GB SDHC card

Hello everyone
having real difficulty downloading to iMovie content from my Canon Vixia HF100. The Sandisk VideoHD card I purchased will not under any circumstances be recognised by my iMac running 10.5.5. I even purchased a dedicated SDHC reader, but still to no avail. The only way, and then after much messing about, to get the video off the card is to directly connect the camera to the computer.
Has there been any issues with this card that anyone knows of? Should I go back to a standard 16GB SDHC card?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

That is the recommended procedure.

NB200 - Not reading 16GB SDHC card

Hi,
When I insert SDHC into the NB200, autoplay starts up but then just keeps running on a loop and the mixed content box appears. Occasionally I've managed to see what's on the SDHC card if i click on 'view files' in the contents box but not always and even then autoplay just starts up again.
Now I may be stupid but it's ok to use an sdhc card in an SD adapter? Does it have to be of the same make? I've downloaded both the hotfix and the sd reader driver but neither seem to work. PLEASE HELP!!!
THANKS
simon

Hi chuckles123,
Have you checked the user manual if your notebook supports 16GB SHDC card? This should be done firstly before you do such things
If your notebook supports such cards, update the card reader driver and try different cards. By the way, which 16GB card is it exactly? I have good experience with SanDisk cards, never had problems with them.

My Mac Mini and MacBook, both running Mountain Lion, say that a brand new 16gb SDHC card is not readable. What's going on? Is it the card?

I'm using a brand new SanDisk 16gb SDHC card and the moment I put it into the reader it says "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" with options to Initialize Ignore or Eject.
Any thoughts?

Hello people.
I cryied long enough, browsing the Internet looking forward to a solution for the same case you are stating here. That said, I do not want you to suffer any longer the way I did if you run out of solutions...
In my case, I was trying to copy images from my SD-HC 2 memory card (San Disk, 8GB) to my computer (Mac). I was using a chinese memory card reader (Kino, "Mini Multi in One memory card reader", model SY-682, USB 2.0). The memory card reader/hub used to work just fine before, but till recently it didn't...
I had a suspicion on my OS updating, since I used to copy images from this SD Card to my computer on a monthly basis (I used to have Mac OSX 10.6.8, and a technician recently changed my Mac's operating system to 10.7.5 or so, as far as I can detail... It wasn't a god job what he did, but anyway)...
My husband saw me crying in front of the computer after reading and chasing to a lot of Google searches, and what he did was simply this:
I used to put the memory card in the reader, and then plug the reader into the Mac's USB port... And it didn't work... Right?
He, instead, did it backwards: he plugged the memory card reader to the Mac's USB port and THEN slide the memory card into the slot of the memory card reader...
By doing this, you do not get to see the image of the memory card in your Mac's desktop, BUT: if you open a new Finder window, you will see the image of the memory card into the left margin of the window, right behind the "Devices" title... In my case, the memory card image just read "EOS_DIGITAL", as I use to take pictures with a Canon EOS camera...
Anyway, I hope this helps, and please replicate this answer to those in the same suffering I used to be till 15 minutes before.
Good luck.

PowerMac G4 OS 10.4.11 will not recognise RAW images on a SDHC card but it will see JPGs why?

Question:
I have a PowerMac G4 OS10.4.11. I have recently bought a Lumix LX5 camera and it uses an SDHC card. My Mac will not recognise RAW image files stored on it either by plugging the camera into a USB slot or by using a USB card reader. Can anyone tell me how to overcome this problem?

Thanks for that,
I downloaded RPP and it does indeed open the RAW files and lets me convert them into TIFFs or JPGs which I can then import into Photoshop to play with. However I'm still confused about why I can't open them in Photoshop directly. My other camera is a SLR saving to a SanDisk Extreme lll Compact Flash card and I can open RAW files off that on the same computer with no problem using a Photoshop RAW converter plug-in.
