Smart Media Card

Is there anyway that I can use a Smart Media Card with a PB 1.67?
Any adaptors out there?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kevin:
Is there anyway that I can use a Smart Media Card with a PB 1.67?
Any adaptors out there?
When you say "use a Smart Media Card," what do you mean exactly?
If you mean, for instance, take pictures with your camera, take the Smart Media Card out of it and hoot it up to your PB to download the pix, then sure, there are lots of readers out there. Here's a cheap example that happens to use a USB connection. There are also, I'm pretty sure, readers that hook up to your PB via a PC Card adapter.
Is this what you had in mind, or were you thinking of something different?

Smart media card reader

I cannot get my new imac to recognize my Olympus smart media card reader nor read the card
what could be the problem
I can read other cards in my other card reader, compact flash, SD etc

In System report under usb I show
USB Media Adapter........ highlight it and I get
0x07b4 (Olympus Optical Co., Ltd)
so it would seem the computer knows there is a reader out there but not seeing the card in the reader
I have reformated the card in the camera also

Smart Media Card Reader Needed

Does anyone know of a "known compatible" Smart Media card reader that will work with a MacBook--preferably without using a driver?

Any old usb card reader should work fine. I use one that cost less than £5. As soon as I slide in a memory card, it pops up in the finder sidebar as a drive, no driver needed.

Smart Media or SD card?

I have the iMac 21.5-inch, Mid 2011 10.9.5 OS X with 20Gb RAM
But I am looking at getting a sampler/drum machine that uses either Smart Media, or SD cards (choice of both but they are rare!)
Anyway my question is, which slot do I have in the side of my iMac 21.5-inch, Mid 2011 i5 ?
Does the iMac read both Smart Media cards and SD cards? I am getting quite confused with the different formats, and whether one if compatible with my iMac or not? or whether one type of card is cheaper/expensive than the other?
I need compatibility with my Mac so I can transfer audio files easily from Mac to the Machine, and I don't need it really for anything else, so maybe 1 x large size GB format card of either would be fine for what i need it for, but I want to make sure I get the right thing?
Maybe the iMac can read all formats in its card slot?
Thanks

I don't know off the top of my head however this article may answer:

Downloading video from smart media

Hello,
I want to down load video from a Fuji Finepix 6900.
It uses a 128mb smart media card.
I have been trying to do this via the usb with no joy. I read a post which indicated that it will not work with usb.
The only other connection is a video out to tv.
How do I do this?
Will I need to get a card reader with fire wire?
If so, do you have any recommenations?
Thanks,
Phil

You should be able to mount the Flash Media and an icon should appear on your Desktop.
Double click to open it and drag your file to your Desktop where it will copy.
If it is in a QuickTime playable format you should be able to drag it into iMovie.
If QuickTime can't play it you'll need to convert it to QuickTime formats.

Satellite M45 : Smart Media SD Card Reader not working

Hello,
I have a Satellite M45, Laptop, and for some reason the SD Smart Media system does not work. The bay is attached to the laptop, it is not an external drive. I insert the SD chip, be it 1g or 512 mb it does not load the disk, or show any sign of it being even in the computer.
I do however notice a blue light next to the Bay that goes on when i plug a Disk in it. But it reads nothing for some reason. I have tried allready (several times) to re-install the drivers and restart the computer, but nothing happens i get the same thing wrong.
Do you have and suggestions or ideas that might fix this problem of mine.

Hi
Did you connect this external bay to the USB ports?
Did install the drivers for this external device?
After driver installation, please check the device manager if the external device will appear.
Furthermore you can try to disable the option Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power in the USB root Hub properties.
This you will also find in the device manager

Traurig für die italienische Antwort...

I sayd that if he buy an internal smart card reader BLACK he can mount it on the bay of 3.5" & the barebone is all black!!!

Apps onto media card.

hi. i have a torch 9810 smartphone thats not acting so smart.. :-) or could be me. well.. theres only 512mb memory for download apps to, only downloaded 4 and its full. how do i change the settings to use a media card to fit more apps onto..
thanks.
dave...

Hello...if interested, here's a "primer" on how memory on BBs works...the basic answer is no...apps can only reside in the protected AppMemory space...they cannot be installed and functional anywhere else. More details...
There are three types of potential memory on a BB: 1) Application Memory, 2) Device Memory, and 3) Media/SD Card Memory.
Application Memory -- This is the most crucial; it is the protected (not user accessible), dedicated, and fixed (in size) space that is available as the destination for the installation of applications (plus some application storage, overhead and such). You cannot touch AppMemory. You cannot improve the maximum AppMemory that your BB has. It is what it is. Applications can only install here...there is no option.
Device Memory -- This is space on your BB that you can touch to store files, pictures, media, etc. Typically, it is not terribly large, but it is available to you.
SD/Media Card Memory-- This is what it says...your SD card, for you to store files, media, pictures, etc. It can be as large as your BB OS can support...see this KB:
KB05461MicroSD card sizes supported by the BlackBerry device software
On some devices/OS levels, you can only see "File Free" (Options > Status), which I think is equivalent to AppMemory. On other devices, you can see all three memory usage levels (Options > Memory). Here are some guidelines to use:
KB02843What is the Low Memory Manager feature on the BlackBerry smartphone
KB14320How to maximize free space and battery power on the BlackBerry smartphone
KB14213Call logs, SMS text messages, and email messages are deleted from the BlackBerry smartphone
Lastly, it is always important to properly close applications when you are done with them. Using the Back or the Red key will not do this -- those leave it to the app to decide what to do...and some will leave themselves resident in memory, consuming resources on your BB, slowing the overall performance. Rather, to close an app, press and select "Close" or "Exit"...that will force the application to be closed, freeing up for your new use the resources it was consuming. Some apps will always remain running (typically -- BBMessenger, Browser, Homescreen, Phone, and Messages)...but, you should still close them properly - especially the Browser...if it is left on an active web page, it will not only consume extra resources but battery power as well.
Further, anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure. Some have taken to doing this on a regular basis as a preventive measure...some as frequently as once per day. Others have obtained the QuickPull app to automate a simulated Batt-Pull.
Good luck!

T420s 4-in-1 media card reader adapter problem

I'm wondering if any other T420s owners have had this problem with the media card reader.
Until about two weeks ago, the laptop was working fine, or so I thought. I usually put the laptop to sleep mode instead of shutting it down completely just to speed up boot process. Then, two weeks ago, I tried shutting it down completely. It got all the way to the "shutting down" screen but it would not completely turn off unless I hold down the power button.
It took a while for me to figure out that the media card reader was preventing it from completely shutting down -- even after restoring it to factory settings. Hardware manager recognizes the controller. It also recognizes the card reader if an SD card is inserted but would not assign a drive letter to the reader (i.e., I cannot read the card).
This is what I've tried:
1. Uninstalled and re-installed the drivers for the smart card reader and the controller. That didn't work.
2. Restored the laptop to factory settings. That didn't work.
3. Uninstalled and deleted the drivers for the smart card reader and the controller, then downloaded and installed the latest drivers from the Lenovo website after restoring the laptop to factory settings. That didn't work.
The only common thing in the process is this: the laptop would not shut down completely if there is an SD card in the reader. I initially suspected that it was the SD card itself but I've tried it with four different SD cards and the results were all the same -- it would not shut down if the card was inserted. While displaying that "shutting down" screen, it will shut down immediately after I pull out the SD card, even if it's been hanging in that state for minutes.
I suspect that it is the card reader itself that's causing the problem, and that I need to have it replaced (the laptop is still under warranty). However, I thought I'd seek the advice of the experts out there and find out what their thoughts are.
Thanks.
Solved!

Just took it to an authorized service center in Gaithersburg, MD (about 10 minutes from my office). I hope it's simply a matter of replacing the card reader.
BTW, 4-in-1 reader doesn't mean much. It's just an SD, SDHC, SDXC and MMC reader. Pretty much the same form factor. Now if it can read both SD and CF cards, I'll be really happy (my DSLR uses CF).
Thanks to everyone who offered advice. I'll post the service center's findings when I get my laptop back.
Good luck!!!
Yeah I have/had the same problem I have a DSLR that uses both CF xD, my HP notebook mulitcard reader reads xD, SD (4GB), but no CF. CF is a big card so I can see that as a problem on some notebooks. However I also have a camera using the Memory Stick Pro and it goes into the same slot on my HP but as you said. Lenovo's reader is only supporting the SD series which is a bummer. I still have to use an external reader for two other cameras.

HOW CAN I GET MY DATA BACK ON MEDIA CARD AFTER WIPING DEVICE

please help, i wiped my device clean then did a back up and everything was back except the things i had on my media card. how do i get it back?

When you wiped your device, there is an option which you must check in order to wipe your Media card, did you have that checked or unchecked?
I am afraid that the Media Card in included in the backup of the device memory.

Panasonic HDC-SD100 media card unable to capture on Final Cut Express 4

No problems at all with transfer to i-movie but just purchased final cut express 4 and problems with capturing from the media card. Signal system on camera is 1080/50i. Have tried setting HD and 1080/50i in the easy set up but no joy. Have tried log and transfer and see clips but on transfer message states no data. Can anyone help with the settings please?
Many thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum!
There are many things that could cause this, and almost all have been discussed.
Some things to try:
• In the Log and Transfer window, click the preferences button (the gear in the upper right). Make sure audio is set to *Plain Stereo*
• Also in that preferences window, click the button to *Clear the Cache*
Also, what drive are you using to capture to (internal or external)? How is it formatted, and how much space is left on that drive?

Hp pavilion dv4-1123us Media Card won't read

I have a hp Pavilion dv4-1123us laptop that won't read a 16 GB SDHC media card. The card works in my PC, so the card is good. I have a Scandisk 5-1 media reader hooked to my home PC that would not read it but I found through Scandisk site I needed to download the latest Firmware which I did and now the card works on my PC. The reader has always and still does read a 512 MB and a 2 GB XD cards on my laptop. I am running XP Pro OS.
I have searched the HP site for driver downloads but only see them for Windows 7 and 8 not XP.
Can someone help me on this?

Hello wgray826,
You’re having a problem not being able to read a 16GB SDHC card.
I think that your computer does not support the SDHC card.
Here is a link to your user guide and what cards it supports.
I noticed that it shows the Secure Digital but not the Secure Digital High Capacity.
Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

Cannot copy file from desktop to media card

Whenever I try to copy a file from my desktop to my media card I get an error. When I use the desktop manager software I get the message 'one or more files cannot be copied: FILE_NAME'. When I use Windows Explorer to try the same thing I get the message 'Cannot copy FILE_NAME: parameter is incorrect'.
I do have a proper connection from the desktop to the blackberry because I can open files on the media card and update them. I just have the problem copying the files.
I have been able to copy the files from the desktop to the device memory. Then move it from the device memory to the media card. But there should be no difference between the device memory and the media card.
Note: The file I am trying to copy is a data file (.PDF). While I was having the same problem with music files, I found if I went into advanced parameters from desktop manager and specified the audio file type & bitrate I was able to copy the music file without errors.
I have a blackberry curve 8300
16GB media card

When I try to move the files from the Finder Window with the files on the DVD, I do not get the plus sign when I try to drag it to the desktop or any other window. Even when I try with the option key pressed, there is no plus sign with the mouse arrow. Someone suggested to use the terminal and I did. It was a hassle, though.

Problem with storing pictures to the Media Card

I set my 8330 to store pictures to the media card. It works for a while and then the device reverts to storing it on the device memory. It does this without asking or telling me that it's done so. It's very frustrating. Anybody have any idea why it would do this?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
That's a very odd situation. Can you tell us, when this happens, does your BB "see" the media card at all? For instance, if when you notice this, can you do Media > Explore and get to the media card still?
Another thing to check is your device OS version -- perhaps there is an update from your carrier that has fixes that would be useful...you can check your carrier via this portal:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
If your device OS is current, then you might want to try a different media card...perhaps there is something amiss with the one you have.
Also, how to do you go about recovering and getting it to again store on the media card?
Thanks!
