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.

GeForce4 TI Video Card Not Recognized Anymore?

For about almost a year, the fan on the GeForce4 TI video card would occasionally make a grinding noise, although it has always been easily fixed by lightly sticking a finger on the fan to stop it for a second and it would go back to normal.
However, about a month ago this little fix stopped working. The grinding noise was unbearable. After searching the Internet for a few minutes, I found out that I wasn't the only one suffering from this problem, and some even offered tips on how to replace the fan.
I followed the steps very carefully and made sure the card was not harmed. After installing the new fan, which was very easy, I stuck it back into the Power Mac and boot it up. However the monitor didn't find a signal.
I was glad that I installed Remote Desktop on the Power Mac so I was able to connect to it and see what's going on. I opened Apple System Profiler and noticed that the computer isn't properly recognizing the graphics card anymore! Instead of the very detailed information I'm used to seeing, this is what I saw below:
pci10de,a:
Type: VGA-Compatible Controller
Bus: AGP
Slot: SLOT-1
Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID: 0x252
Revision ID: 0x00a3
I have no clue what this means as it seems like the computer still recognizes A video card. Also this also gave me the impression that the Power Mac is missing the drivers, but that's impossible as I haven't touched the software on the hard drive and nVidia drivers are part of OS X.
If the card is broken then fine, I'll take my losses and buy a new one as I would hate to just throw the computer away since it still more than fulfill my needs. But I just hope the AGP slot isn't broken.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Just for clarification:
You have two systems based on the same MS-7008 mainboard, correct? Both use the same BIOS Version?
In one system, the card is functioning, running in AGP 3.0 Mode x8 and in the other, same mainboard model, what are the symptoms of "video card not recognized" besides the AGP 2.0 Mode x4 limitation?
I mean, if you can see the BIOS Setup, the card is putting something out on the screen, right?

Older iMac not recognizing AirPort card

I manually installed an AirPort Extreme card in my G4 iMac. I followed the instructions exactly. However, it's not showing up anywhere in the Network Preferences. It's like I never installed it. I think I did everything right, I even went back and did it again, still to no avail.
Is there something I'm missing here? Remove screws, plug in card, restart computer, right?
Part of what be my problem is I'm using a newer iMac that does have an AirPort card built-in as a base station, (or, at least, that's the plan- is nothing showing up because I don't have a real base station?). Maybe I'm totally wrong about all this, but I don't think that should stop my computer from not recognizing the card.
It is an older card, bought refurbished from the Apple Online Store.

Which G4 iMac did you install the card into? Does it have a clock speed of 1 GHz or faster? Click on the Apple menu and select "About this Mac".
Assuming the clock speed is 1 GHz or faster, run System Profiler and look in the "AirPort:" field. If the card is not recognized, the field will be blank.

400 mhz G4 PB not recognizing Airport card

HELP!!! i'm a PC girl learning Mac, and bought a used G4 powerbook to try it out. I then purchased a used Airport card to go wireless. However the computer is not recognizing the card. It is installed correctly- barcode up, all the way in, but no go. Is there anyway to test (like will a trip to the Apple store help or will they look at me like i'm from the dark ages?) the computer or the card? I was going to attempt to harvest the card from my snow base station but don't have a star tip for my screwdriver to get into the thing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!! THANKS!

Thanks brody. That is the card I have. I was guessing at the OX I have as I bought this machine used and truly have no idea where to find half the stuff much less what it is. since I figured out where to find it, I'm running 10.4.11.
I appreciate everyone's help. I've had the hardest time figuring out just which model I have. i've yet to find a picture just like it. I'm not even sure it's a 12, since dummy me didn't realize they're like tv's and measured diagonally. I think it might actually be a 15 inch if that makes a difference. 2 hinges in the back, all the ports in the back under a cover (I must have looked rather comical until I figured that one out) card slot is on the left side, dvd drive in the front. I was told it was a titanium but honestly it didn't matter to me so I didnt' check to make sure. I just wanted something relatively cheap to see if I really liked a mac before i plunked down a couple of thousand on a new one. It wasn't until I had trouble with the card that I found out all these different ones existed.
also, it looks like there are actually 2 slots to the card reader, although I cannot access it from the battery bay. The slot I can access that the card does actually fit in is from the left outside. the other slot is under it (I can see it with the keyboard off and the card removed) and looks as thought the card would be inserted similar to the one i can use, except the body of the powerbook is in the way. I'm afraid to do much more than I have hardware wise as my PC kicked the bucket so this is my only working computer right now. Let me know what you guys think!!
THANKS!!!

Sd card reader on MBP not recognizing SD card

The SD card reader on my MBP is not recognizing a new SD card. I have tried taking it out and putting it back in. I looked in disk utility, but do not see it listed. "I also tried image capture. What else can I try?

If you have photos on the SD card try using Image Capture to download the photos to a folder on the Desktop before you reformat the card with the camera.

Windows 7 on iMac Core Duo - Graphics card not recognized

I installed Windows 7 along with Boot Camp drivers for Vista 32 bit.
But my grpahics card ATI X1600 is not recognized by Windows 7 RC.
Any ideas on how I can get this to work?

Most likely that means that the driver is returning bad information or crashing.
Have you updated the driver from AMD's website?

Wifi card not recognized after reboot.

I've got a Lenovo X140e and an Intel wifi card. (Intel Corporation Wireless-N 7260) that I installed myself, since the support for the Broadcom card it came with was spotty.
If I reboot my laptop, the card won't show up with either iwconfig or even lspci. If I do a cold reboot (power down entirely and start back up), it will show up just fine.
What gives?
Relevant lspci output:
01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev 4b)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Wireless-N 7260
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 38
Memory at f1300000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
Kernel modules: iwlwifi

When the card is recognized, rfkill lists it as unblocked; when it's not recognized, it doesn't show up at all.
I've got i3 installed; for connection management I've been sort of trying different things - netctl never works but wifi-menu has been pretty reliable. I haven't installed any special power management stuff at all - I'm not really sure how to find out what was auto-installed?

Airport Card Not Recognized on iMac DV 400 SE Slot Loading

I just installed an airport card with adapter per Apple's instructions. It is not recognized in the Network list in System preferences. Internal Modem is listed as well as Built-in-Ethernet (with an active Internet connection). Has 10.3.9 and the latest Airport software updates.
It was taken from a working iMac and installed in my iMac. Any idea what the problem might be?

Will do. Thanks for the advice.
This computer is somewhat of a cultural icon. One of the first computers configured out of the box for video editing. On a Contour stand, 130 Gb HD, 1 GM ram. Still very functional after 8 1/2 years. Looks great in the studio. Just wanted to wean it from it's ethernet connection.

Iphone not recognizing SIM card

Since I bought my Iphone about 5 months ago, a few times it would say that there is no SIM card inserted, when in fact there had been one. I would remove and reinsert the card or do a hard shut down and restart and the problem would go away. Yesterday, as I was scanning my applications a error message came on saying it did not recognize a network. Then I noticed the functions on would not work. Basically it froze. So I restarted it. Once the apple logo went off there was an icon of a USB to be connected to iTunes, with no other functions working. I then patched it to my laptop and the error message on the laptop said that there was no SIM card in the Iphone. thinking its a SIM card problem I inserted someone elses SIM in my iphone. Same problem. I inserted my SIM in another iphone. No problem. It was not a SIM card issue. Without the iphone recognizing the SIM card the phone could not even be reset.
I took the phone to the Service provider in Malaysia MAXIS. They said the iphone is defective and had to be taken in for repair. The problem is they will most probably replace the phone, However there policy with Apple they say is that I have to WAIT 6-8 WEEKS for a new set. How ridiculous is that?
The worry I have now is that all my apps that I bought, what will happen to them? All the online games that I have been leveling up for months, what happens there? I could never sync my phone with my laptop when it came to the apps. It just would not sync!
It is disappointing to think that Apple does not have a solution to customer software and program issues.

You're right - it is ridiculous however thats not a decision made by Apple, but by Maxis. If Apple were asked to rpovide immediate replacements, they would do so and Maxis would have to pay the price. Under warranty, in other countries we can go into an Apple store and get an immediate replacement.

BB Pearl not Recognizing Media Card

I have a 2GB Kingston MicroSD card installed in my BB. It has been working fine for the past month or so (since I got the phone) and has 4 or 5 pictures and another 5 of 6 ringtones stored on it. Earlier this week, I had been hooking the phone up to the computer using the USB cable and it would prompt me if I wanted to access the media. I would say no and go on from there. Then Wednesday, all of a sudden the BB started no longer recognizing the card. Today, I went into the settings and they are:
Media Card Support - On
Encryption Mode - None
Mass Storage Mode Support - On
Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected - Prompt
A media card is not presently inserted in the device.
I take the media card out and plug it into the computer and it is still showing all the files on there. When I plug the phone into the computer, it is not being recognized by the computer.
Any suggestions?
Solved!

I found something from Spingineer here (http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=8100&thread.id=11781) and tried that. It worked like a charm.

HP Pavilion tx1000z - Wireless card not recognized

Model: HP Pavilion tx1000z CTO Notebook PC
Wireless has been working fine - two weeks ago it failed to be recognized.
1. Doesn't appear in Device Manager
2. Wireless switch remains amber.
3. Attempted to use Add hardware - not recognized.
4. Pulled the card and re-installed.
No solution.
So...
Contacted HP and purchased a replacement card.
Installed new card.
No solution. Still failing to be recognized.
All other ports are working to include the wired internal modem.
Contaced HP help and their solution is to send it in to the repair center and for the low price of only $400(!) they'll replace the motherboard. This was after zero troubleshooting on their part.
Any help would GREATLY be appreciated as I'm a deployed soldier and this laptop is my one link to home.
Thanks.

Well I cannot self promote but am actually affiliated with a store that could do the repair, but I will steer you instead to some of our peers. A very lively industry has popped up on ebay for such things. These ads talk about the "no video" problem but the "no wireless" is caused by the same thing. I would communicate with them in advance of buying and make sure they understand it is the "no wireless" problem and I am sure they will explain how they can fix that, too.
This guy does it for $125 flat and has a 100% rating:
TX 1000 repair
Here is another with a 99.6% rating
$115
They are all doing essentially the same repair which has proven to extend the life of the laptop by 12 to 18 months. I think somewhere up to $150 is fair for a year of use on a laptop as you would buy a new one for 4 times that or more and expect to get 3 or 4 years out of it.
