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:

  • 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 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?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • HP Smart Media

    With its overhead and redundant features, why use HP Smart Media over Windows and other options? My details are: HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC Product #: NV023UA#ABA Model: dv7-2185dx. I'm operating Windows 7 under 64-bit.

    iTunes downloaded files are AAC encrypted mp4 files which allows them to be played solely on ipods, iphones, razrs, slvrs, rokrs and computers with itunes (provided they are authorized, of course.) The workaround is to use iTunes to burn an audio CD then rip them, you will end up with a substantially larger .wav file, but smart media should recognize the format.
    Hope this helps!

  • ITunes download to HP Smart Media

    We purchased music from ITunes and we download to Smart Media for a slideshow.  The only problem is that Smart Media will not read the music.  We also have downloaded music from a CD into ITune library, and then download into Smart Media, and Smart Media is able to read. So there must be a setting issue that is not allowing Smart Media to read the ITunes music

  • Mega 180/Media Player/Graphic Card/TV-Out

    Hi,
    after very long research I decided to use Mega 180 as a dedicated PC for media center purpose and to connect it directly to my TV (Siemens 100 Hz real flat 16:9) and to upgrade my second PC and to connect the two PCs wirelesly and to use Media Portal software.
    And then I have started to read related posts and forums. But this time I learned that there are new issues I have to deal with.
    1. TV-out: The TV-Out of Mega 180 is not good enough on a TV. My question is do I have to buy another powerful graphic card? I need recommendation. My TV has composite and scart inputs.
    2. Media Portal: This software has lack of some features. If I use MCE 2005, will it be better?
    3. If I use a video converter, will it help me to find better picture on my TV?
    Yes bodies, unfortunately there is no way to find the best solution. And I am at the final stage. If this solution does not run, I will give up.   I need your recommendations.

    This is copied from another reply I made today. The Mega 180 can drive a TV just fine. But you need to spend alot of time making it work.
    How you hook up to your TV depends on your available TV connections and your quality standard. The Mega 180 does have an SVideo output. I don't use this however. I have a VGA input port on my 42 inch plasma monitor. It accepts VGA 640 X 480, 800 x 600, or 1024 X 768 standard computer resolutions. It also accepts 480P or 1080i TV inputs using the VGA port. Many quality TV monitors have a DVI port or component video. These would require some sort of physical adapter to attach to a Mega PC.
    So I actually run in 1080i mode most of the time. This makes DVD's and HDTV look really nice. When using the XP computer screen I keep it in 1080i mode but map this to 960 X 540 resolution using PowerStrip. This way I can read the text on the display without it being distorted. However this is pretty low resolution for most web browsers and email programs. So it is kind of cramped... When playing computer games I switch to 1024 X 768 computer mode. The good thing is the on board Nvidia MX440 graphics work just fine to generate all these modes. So I do not have a card in the AGP slot.

  • Address Book: how to do a smart group of unlisted cards ?

    Hi,
    I like having my cards organized in lists and I always browse contacts by lists. However, when creating a contact on my iPhone, I often forget to create it in the right list or I simply create it in All Contacts.
    I would like to create a smart group that shows all the contacts that are not in a list.
    It looks like there is an option for this:
    New Smart Group
    Card ... is not member of ... any group
    But that just shows nobody ...
    It seems like "any group" also includes All Contacts. And if that's the case, I would suggest to Apple to remove it from the "any group" definition. Because I don't see any use of this category if that's the case.
    If you have another way of doing it, please share !
    Thanks.

    It seems like "any group" also includes All Contacts. And if that's the case, I would suggest to Apple to remove it from the "any group" definition.
    Then you'll have to ask Apple. Try posting the suggestion here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    It used to work, so something must have broken it, recently.

  • JAVA CARD media the actual cards

    Hello �
    I have a sun blade 100 and I would like to do some java card / smart card development work, testing. My immediate need is for 1 card. I do not know where to begin to find one, nor what to ask for.
    I have an AM EX blue card ..... I am a bit concerned writing to the AM EX card by mistake versus just reading from the card. Therefore I would like to get a blank card just for testing. Of course I want to test both the reading and writing.
    What are my options. Where can I get the card?

  • KT4 Ultra--Replacing C-Media with SoundBlaster Card

    What's the best way to replace on board audio with a sound card? Do I have to go into the bios or fool with jumpers and turn off the on board audio  before I install the card and drivers? Or do I just uninstall the c-Media drivers?
    Thanks.

    Hi!
    Soundblaster is definately great card. I have owned several of them, latest one being Live Player 5.1. The sound quality of those cards were okay, but nothing spectacular. The situation was the same with Hercules Fortissimo II card I had.
    Now I'm using the 6 channel C-Media chip of my KT4 Ultra BSR -motherboard. After comparing the sound quality of Live Player, Fortissimo II & C-media chip I was quite surprised because the integrated chip delivers equal quality throught the speakers I use (SB 5100 5.1).
    So I sold thouse other cards & I'm very happy with the sound I have. One bonus with C-Media has been reliable & solid drivers (IMHO SB could learn something here
    PS. This KT4 Ultras BSR is rock solid & i really love it! :D

  • Invoking media on a card in cardlayout

    Hi,
    I have made a small application, that uses a simple cardlayout.
    I start by creating the 3 cards, then show then in turn, as the individual card is selected.
    One of the cards have a player attached, that plays a tune.
    My problem is, that the tune is played when the card is initially created (but not yet shown).
    Is there a smart way to delay the playing of the tune, untill the card is displayed in the JFrame?
    Im thinking along the lines of a "when displayed" type function.

  • Is there a way to create dynamic playlists on the fly in music on smart media?

    Often I'm at a friends house and we're looking through music trying to pick the next song to play as one is finishing.
    It would be really great to have an dynamic playlist where you could add and subtract songs as you go and so keep the music playing as you create away and the new list runs.
    I see a couple of apps offering this but they don't have good reviews. Also crossfade for this would be a nice option too.
    Any plans to give a 'life update' revamp to party goers using itunes on their smart devices?
    Or doesMusic have this feature and I'm just unaware of it?

    Yes, there is a way. Here is the workaround. You can add notes folders directly with your iPad or iPhone.
