SSD Flash card reader for proprietary HDD

Hi,
Im an Apple service provider, I have a late 2010 MB Air which is damaged, client wishes to retrieve data from internal hard drive, which is a Flash card, the type that uses Apples proprietary interface (its a slim stick with a connector at the bottom)
Does anyone know of a sled or card reader that will enable me to read from the flash stick?
Thanks
Scott

Yes that is what I understood! As I told you before the Photofast SSD Upgrade Kit comes with an USB3-MBA-SSD-Flashdrive-Reader But it's not longer available b/c of Apple and they don't list it on their website. You can try to find one on Ebay.
Btw. the Taiwan website of Photofast still shows the product: http://www.photofast.tw/products/

Good compact flash card reader for PC slot? card types I and II

Thanks for your time.

Interesting.
I have a Sandisk SD(etc) card reader for my Powerbook's PC slot, and it eats CPU pretty effectively as well when importing into iPhoto - but so does reading from a USB 2 card reader. The PC card reader is slower than my USB reader, but the PC reader is way more convenient!
I've noticed that OS X seems to have more difficulty with PC cards than external readers. For example, last night my PC card quit - or so I thought. When I inserted my camera's card into the reader, it wouldn't read. I saw the PC Card item pop into the menubar of the finder, so I knew the card was functional. I plugged my card + camera in with it's USB cable, and it worked (transferred to iPhoto) just fine. I formatted the card, but while iPhoto recognized it via USB (via camera and external reader), it wouldn't via PC card. I rebooted a while later, and it began to work again - go figure. I've never had this sort of issue with USB gadgets, so It's a little odd.
BTW: I usually use a Kingston 1 GB SD, or one of a few 512 MB SDs from various brands.

Which compact flash card reader (still available) works with core i7?

Help! My card reader died. I'm having trouble finding a compact flash card reader for my iMac Core i7. I'm shooting with a Canon 7D. Any suggestions?

Maybe a bit pricey http://store.apple.com/us/product/H6333VC/A?fnode=MTY1NDA2NA&mco=MjQwODk2ODQ
In essence, all USB 2.0 Card Reader should work (SanDisk for example) as well.

Satellite Pro A200 - Need Windows 7 driver for flash card reader

I have changed from Vista to Windows 7 on my Satellite A200-20N, and now I can't use the flash card reader in it. I have already looked for drivers, but I only find one for vista, also tried to install it, but was not successful.
How could I use my flash card reader under Windows 7?

Hi
Unfortunately I think you can only use the Vista driver and normally they also work on Windows 7.
Maybe you can explain what not successful means exactly
Furthermore you can try a newer card reader driver from another notebook model, e. g. Satellite A300.
Check this!!!

I'm looking for a compact flash card reader that will work with the ipad 4 with the lightning port. please help?!

I purchased the ipad 4/retina diplay 64 GB model today and i need a compact flash card reader that works with it.
has anyone had any luck with this??
thank you.

I found this with a simple Google Search:
http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/ipad-cf-sd-reader/
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Camera-Card-Reader-Connection-iPad/dp/B005NN8V3M
But Diovonex is correct, use the standard Camera Connection kit and transfer them from the camera directly as described in this other thread.

Expresscard/34 Compact Flash card reader?

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a Expresscard/34 Compact Flash card reader?
Thanks
Mark

Yes, all pro digital photographers use CF cards and most use FireWire card readers. The rest use USB2 card readers.
Many of us keep a $7 PCMCIA card adapter for emergency backup but rarely use it because it is sooooooo sloooooow. It also takes over your computer not allowing you to do much else during the downloading of photo/files.
Do that a few times and you see the need for upgrading to a new standard.
It would be nice to be able to just pop a card into the side of the laptop without plugging in a reader.
On the other hand - Sprint and Verizon do need to make an Express/Card 34 for internet access. I may be getting a MacBook Pro next month and not being able to connect to the internet from anywhere is my biggest fear, more so than the PhotoShop problem.

Card Reader for iPad 2?

Hi there,
I'm a photographer that carries my iPad 2 16gb everywhere with me.
So when I'm out and about I want to be able to transfer and look at my pictures on my iPad.
I want to take some pictures and plug in a card reader to tranfer the photo's on to my iPad 2.
I have a camera that takes a SD card and one that takes a Compact Flash. I can't find anywhere that does a card reader for Ipad that accepts both a SD card and Compact Flash?
Anyone got one?
Thanks
Lauren

There might be some third party CF readers but for your CF camera it may be easier to use the USB attachment. I have a CF reader that works, but it's a vivitar one that's not made anymore.

What is the best cf card reader for ipad 3 available in uk

what is the best compact flash reader for the ipad 3, available in the uk that works with ios6. thks

You asked about CF, which is Compact Flash (which is larger than and different from SD cards). CF is used typically in higher end digital cameras.
Here is the CF reader I recommend:
Hoodman USB 3.0 Raw Steel UDMA Card Reader for CompactFlash and SD Cards
http://www.adorama.com/HNRAWUSB3.html?utm_source=ET&utm_medium=TransactionalEmai l&utm_campaign=2point0Product1
(also available from other sellers, including Amazon and many camera stores simply stock it on their shelf)
This product reads two kinds of cards -- CF and SD. It is very good at doing those two things (as opposed to cheap readers that read 20+ types of cards and are flimsy and don't work all that well and don't last).
This Hoodman device is ruggedly built, largely metal, and has a special pin guard "drop door" that protects the numerous delicate pins in the reader from accidental damage, which is what often happens to these CF readers -- namely a few of the many delicate pins get bent unintentionally after a period of use. This has been the bane of CF and its readers, those many delicate pins. This Hoodman design directly addresses the issue and from the reviews I've read and my daughter's experience with it, they seem to have succeeded.
It comes with USB 3.0, which is very fast (if you have the 3.0 port), and it works as USB 2.0 if you have the older interface. It reads the latest and fastest of the CF cards as well.

Could anyone recommend a reliable card reader for my MacBook Pro please?

Hi,
Looking for a reliable card reader for compact flash and SD cards for my MacBook Pro. Would anyone be able to recommend one please? Most reviews I've read only seem to mention Windows and I'm not sure whether they are Mac compatible.
Many thanks, Karen

Karen,
Hi, what year is you macbook pro? Is it the Early 2008 one with the grey keyboard, or the newer ones with black keys? If you have the grey keyboard macbook pro I use the Sandisk card reader:
For the newer MacBook Pro's a usb card reader works well in addition to the sd card reader built in the MacBook Pro. They are making thunderbolt card readers now for a low price:http://computers.pricegrabber.com/flash-memory-readers-accessories/SmartDisk-THU NDERBOLT-SD-STICK-WRITER-USB/m16520521.html

Why can't I use/build an SD card reader for iPhone?

I have searched and searched for an SD card reader for iPhone. Apple offers the camera connection kit for iPad but for some reason they have made it incompatible with iPhone. This doesn't make a whole lot of since to me unless they are trying to drive users to buy an iPad. So far I have only found one SD card reader that claims to work on iPhone: http://www.zoommediaplus.com/index.html . If they have actually made it work with iPhone and the app is in the App Store then Apple must allow apps to transffer data from SD cards. If so I can make one myself and build the hardware to go with it since the Apple SD card reader doesn't work on iPhone.
I guess my main questions are:
     Does Apple allow SD Card readers for iPhone?
     if not:
          Why don't they?
          Can anyone tell me where it is documented that you can not use SD Cart readers with iPhone?
          How does ZoomMediaPlus get their app in the App Store if it isn't allowed?
     if they do:
          Why aren't their more SD Card readers for iPhone?
          Why doesn't Apple's lightning SD Card read work with iPhone?

Of course they forbid it. You realize that an iPhone 6+ owner cannot use the Apple Lightning SD Card Reader, don't you? We know the support for their own SD Card Reader is built into iOS 8 because it works with iPads. Therefore, Apple intentionally turned the support OFF for iPhones.
and it appears no one else has bothered to attempt to produce one
No, Apple forbids any third parties from producing one. They produce them for iPads but they cannot work on iPhones, because Apple chooses not to permit such functionality (i.e., they forbid it). Third parties produce such adapters for Android, so obviously they would want to do the same for iOS so they could sell more.
You're recommendation for AirStash is uninformed. I've tried it and found it to be a clunky time-consuming workaround if all you want to do is import some photos from an SD card. Using Photos in iOS to import photos is a far more elegant solution - an Apple solution that just works (if you purchased an iPad).
If it bothers you that iPhones do not work with Apple's own Lightning SD Card Reader, then I suggest you leave feedback instead of attacking those who point it out:

Best media card reader for iphoto?

What is the best mediat card reader for a Macbook (unibody white) with USB connection.

I don't know if it's best but I bought a Targus High Speed SD/SDHC/MMC reader from WalMart. It's small, great for traveling, and plugs into a USB port. Works very well. About $10 as I recall.

SD Card Reader for IPod Touch

Is anybody aware of the availability of an SD Card Reader for an iPod Touch?
Thanks In Advance

There would need to be a downloaded application from Apple's ApStore, which would link to a card reader that fits into the charging/sync port at the bottom of the Touch. So far, nothing like that's been developed that we're aware of, and we're not sure Apple would even allow it because it would be an insecure route to transfer data/programs into the Touch or iPhone. Everything (so far)has to be ported to the device through the ApStore.
An SD card reader would be very useful for dongle-based applications or data readers, especially for PocketPC users.

Hi anyone. Can I buy an SD card reader for my old Powerbook G4, OSX, 10.4.11 and it's only USB. I've never needed one previously but I now need to update the firmware on my camera. Can I get one, if so which one's best? Many thanks.

Hello,
If it is a PowerBook G4 with a PC Card slot, you have two possibilities. You could buy a USB card reader for SD, or a PC Card adapter (such as SanDisk's 6-in-1adapter). Please note that you are or may be limited to plain SD (that is, not SDHC) unless otherwise noted. For a USB reader, make sure that it has Mac support. BTW, is an SD card absolutely necessary for the firmware update; is there not a way of updating via cable? If you post back with the camera model, someone may be able to provide additional information.

A couple of weeks ago, (after reading a review in TUAW) I bought a wireless hub/ SD card reader called RAVPower. its app comes with a built in viewer, so you can load it up, and see the pics full screen.

HT4528 Is there a sd card reader for iPhone 5

Need to know if there's a sd card reader for iPhone 5

Be very careful when considering bossodg's answer ...
The compatibility list toward the bottom only indicates iPads, not iPhones. Further, there is a question down toward the bottom specifically asking if the product works with the iPhone 4S. The answer given is "no".
