Unable to read SD cards, CF cards, etc with windows 8. Windows 7 and before work

Hi everyone,
One strange thing I've found with Windows 8.1 is that if I try to access a SD card, micro SD card, CF card, or similar, I get an error that says something about you need permission to access this. I've tried giving myself permissions, but it still doesn't work.
The SD card is from a digital carmera.
The microSD card is from my Android device.
The CF card is from my Nikon D70.
The odd thing is they all work in windows 7 and before.
Added oddity: if I plug my android into the computer and browse that way when the device comes up, I can access it.
This is happening on any windows 8.1 machine (pro/enterprise)I've tried it on. I've googled the issue but have found no resolution.
Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks

Can I get my GTX 670 card to be compatible with Prem Pro CC and Speedgrade cc on my windows machine?

Can I get my GTX 670 card to be compatible with Prem Pro CC and Speedgrade cc on my windows machine?

No need to hack anything in CC:
"(...) This is no longer necessary in Premiere Pro CC. As long as you have a reasonably modern card with at least 1GB of VRAM, you will still be able to enable that card in the Project Settings dialog. A warning message will appear letting you know that your card has not been certified by Adobe, but once that dialog is clicked through you can use your GPU."
See details here:

AFAIK SpeedGrade uses CUDA and/or OpenCL depending on availability, so no type or model white-list, with this one limitation only for Direct Link on Mac: only NVIDIA OpenCL is supported (NVIDIA CUDA and AMD OpenCL are not currently available with Direct Link on the Mac platform).

My iPhone 5 doesn't send any text messages or i messages and the problem isn't with the sim card as i tried it with another iPhone 5 and it worked fine.

After updating my iPad to IOS 8.1.2, I am unable to access the Cloud with my password, even though it worked on my Macmini. I changed the password and it still does not work on the iPad. What can I do to get iPad to recognize my Apple ID/password account?

I would be helpful to know what those "basic steps" you have already tried are, but lacking that information:
Settings app > iTunes & App Stores - sign out of your AppleID
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
Sign back into your AppleID (same location as noted above)

Unable to read file - opening a html file with excel

Hi all,
I have the next issue: I have developed a report on HTML format, however when I export this one (to excel) I save the file with a 'xls' extension, however, (in excel 2007), when I try to open the file I get the error "Unable to read the
file".
can you help me with this issue?

Hi,
Did you create a PivotTable report in the file? As your description, the HTML format could be used correctly in Excel 2007. Did you get the other error message?
Such as,Unable to read file.
When you click OK, you receive the following error message:
Errors were detected in '<var>filename</var>.xls', but Microsoft Excel was able to open the file by making the repairs listed below. Save the file to make these repairs permanent.
PivotTable report '<var>report_name</var>' on '[<var>filename</var>.xls]worksheet_name' was discarded due to integrity problems.
Please try to use the workaround:
Turn off AutoRecovery when you work with any workbooks.Click Excel button>Excel options>Save>Uncheck AutoRecovery
Following this, if the issue exists, I recommend you fix the issue the following KB：

Unable to read 5th channel using cDAQ 9178 with NI 9219 modules

Dear LabView user,
I've made a VI for reading the measurements of a couple of LVDT sensors, a load cell and a couple of strain gauges. When I connect 4 of these sensors to my cDAQ 9178 with using 1 slot of NI 9219, then there is no problem for my VI. But if I use 2 modules, and connect the 2 LVDT sensors and the load cell to the first module, and the 2 strain gauges to the 2nd module, then my program only will show the readings of the first module and the readings of only 1 strain gauge on the 2nd module. I've found that there occurs an error for the 5th channel in the 'zero' state. It says my buffer size is too small... How can I solve this problem? I can't work with finite samples because it is a continious measurement.
I also have the cDAQ 9171 USB module, if I only connect 4 sensors to this module, the sample rate is high (100 Samples/sec), when I use the same configuration, but connect this with the cDAQ 9178, the sample rate is much lower however I use the same NI 9219 module to fill the slots. Is there some kind of setting I need to make when switching over to the cDAQ 9178?
I've attached my VI.
With kind regards,
Pete

Dear RavensFan,
Thank you for your answer.
"Have you tried swapping the modules between the slots and see if you still have the same problem or if it moves?" When I use the cDAQ 9178, I always use the first 2 slots next to the power suply and the usb connection, you mean that I should try for example the 4th and the 5th slot or other slots? I will try this on Monday, and I will let you know.
About the states machines inside a state: How is it possible then to use several buttons, like start and stop measurement and the 'home' button inside the state "measurement"? Should I make another simple state machine inside this state?
What about that 5th channel that I'm unable to read? The problem happens in my "zero" state: to acquire my "zero elements", the loop does the job for the 5 channels for the first 8 samples, after that, it doesn't want to sample the 5 channels anymore, it only does for 4 channels... It's something about the buffer size, but I don't know how to fix that.
With kind regards,
Peter

Adobe reader XI: doule sided print problem with network printer (windows 8 pro)

Hi, I'm facing a problem with my old printer, the xerox phaser 3160n. It was connected to my notebook through network connection, and everything works well with Adobe X /Win 7 OS (including the double side print, of course) last month, I have upgraded my NB to windows 8 with clean install
clean install my printer driver for windows 8 too, and Adobe reader XI was also downloaded through official website.
However, since I was about to use double sided print in Adobe reader XI (11.00.02) it couldn't obey the order, but just print one side as usual
I have checked the "option" of my printer, and it was correctly set to "double-sided print". I have tried word 2013 to open the same pdf, and choose the same "double-sided print" and it works perfectly.
Is this problem a bug? and would it be corrected in the next update version??
(I remeber I've saw a similar issue too, with network printer, but I couldn't find it)
Thanks!!!

Hi,
Meanwhile, after insatlling the latest driver for printer from the manufacture website, restart the spooler service as a test.
Start > Run > cmd and type "net stop spooler" after that "net start spooler" or start > run > service.msc and restart it over the GUI.
Run Printer Troubleshootor under Action Center\Troubleshooting\Programs\Printer, and check if it helps.
And yes, the manufacture should have more sence about the printer, it's recommended to contact them.

I can't "Get Photos" through Bridge unless they are JPEGS ie. can't detect the RAW files on the SD card. I can with my Canon software and with Bridge on my laptop. I have Windows 8 on the desktop (which is where i have my problem) and Windows 7 on my lap

Does anyone else have this problem? Or better still, have a solution?

Never point Bridge at a camera card.
This excerpt is from a long-gone post by author Bruce Fraser:
Bruce Fraser - 4:17pm Jun 14, 04 PST (#5 of 21) Opening files directly from the camera is a bad idea for a variety of reasons*, and it most certainly isn't faster than using a FireWire or USB2 card reader.
         • Drains the camera battery
         • Runs the risk of the software you're using to open the images writing to the card and destroying the format
         • Runs a small but significant risk of USB power frying the camera
         • Slowest method known to mankind of getting images off a CF or SD card

HT1386 I am unable to get a two way calendar sync with my iPhone 4s and my mac's ical. iTunes syncs my mac's calendar to the phone, but not the other way. I do not use iCloud and I cannot find any menu for removing sync history as described by others.

I have spent 3 hours trying to get my ical updated on my mac with events added to my iphone calendar. Itunes will sync the calendars from the mac to the phone, but not vice versa. I have read every post which relates to this problem, but I do not use iCloud, there is no iSync app on my mac, and there is no menu to delete sync history under system preferences. My mac is fairly new and is running Mac OS X 10.7.4. I tried to delete the iphone from itunes and start over, but can't even do that. Now what? Any advice short of throwing both devices out the window?

For resetting the sync history on a Mac running Lion - 10.7.x if needed.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
If you see the Sync menu in the menu bar, skip to step 3:
If you do not see the Sync menu in your menu bar, skip to step 7.
Hold the Option key on your keyboard, then click the Sync menu in the menu bar:
if you see the Sync menu but you are unable to open it, skip to step 8.
Choose Reset Sync Services.
Click Reset Sync History.
Test for the original issue. If the issue persists, or if you are unable to open the Sync menu, follow these steps:
In the Finder, choose Utilities from the Go menu.
Open Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type or paste the following command on a single line:
/System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full
Press Return.
Quit Terminal after the operation has completed (when Terminal returns to the command prompt with a $).

HT204074 I have been reading about how to associate devices with my Apple ID, and the info says I can go to my account through iTunes to find "Manage Devices" but that does not exist. Either it was phased out our there are other ways to get there, but can

I am trying to find out about all my associated devices. I recently got a message that I had used my last device, and am not sure how this can be. The instructions for accessing the info via the iTunes account info page apparently were not shared with the programmers since there is no Manage Devices button or option as far as I can see. How do I do this?

After hours and hours of failed searches, I must have used a different keyword in my Google search, and here is the website that I was looking for:
https://supportprofile.apple.com
And here is the guy whose website I found that helped me solve my problem:
http://www.marcomc.com/2011/01/how-to-find-the-list-of-my-apple-registered-produ cts/
I was going to rant here about how badly Apple designed their "Apple Id" stuff, how they strongly distinguish between using your Apple Id at the online Apple Store vs. using it at the App Store (which you have to get to via iTunes ... quite ridiculous) ... but I won't. :-)
Anyway, I hope that the two previously mentioned websites will be of help to others.

I can't read Nikon D5200 Raw NEF files with CS6 under Windows 8.1?

I bought a new PC so I could use Photoshop CS6 more efficiently. However, after I installed CS6, I can't read Nikon D5200 Raw NEF files under Windows 8.1. I've tried updating CS6, but nothing seems to work.

First, I hadto load the most recent version of the Adobe Application Manager. Then I could see all of the CS6 Updates including the most recent Camera Raw update.
I had to run one update at a time for it to work correctly.
But now I'm cooking with gas.
Thanks for your help.

Nokia OVI Suite Error - Unable to read the tracks

I have puchased Nokia X6, which comes with unlimited music download. I have registered my PC with this subscription and downloaded music from the store.
However recently the Nokia OVI suite Software 3.0.0.290 gives a error on clicking the Music section - Operation Failed "Unable to read the tracks"

I have OVI Suite 3.1.1, and a Nokia 5230, which works with OVI suite only while there is no Micro SD card in the phone. This was the same with OVI 2, as well. WIth the card inserted, the /private/10208913 folder is regenerated every time the card is plugged back into the phone, and a "New Hardware Detected - MTP" message appears every minute or so, which also denies accessing the phone through windows explorer despite selecting the Mass Memory Mode. I've been unable to load any new music to the phone for months, despite countless retries.
I have win XP, and a crumbling confidence in Nokia. A tragedy that I have bought an X6 for the other half, which I have not had time to set up yet, and another 5230 for my father which was also several days toil of installs and reinstalls of OVI Suite and OVI Music on a Vista PC. Nokia OVI just seems like nothing but constant hard work, and what I could have earned in overtime would have paid for a much slicker product. Unless Nokia can sort this out, rather than relying on discussion groups to try to help user groups resolve what seems to be a flakey product, from my limited experience, I don't hold out much hope for this product line.

When I save a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and then open it, I am unable to read it

When I save a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and then open it, I am unable to read it because it is gibberish with all kinds of symbols and numbers. I understand it has something to do with Adobe Reader. Has anyone else had this problem and how do I correct it?

Put your cursor on the icon of one of your scanned documents. Click on the right button of your mouse. In the list that will appear, put your cursor on Properties and click on the left button of your mouse. In the window that you'll get, read and make a note of what you see next to "File type" and "Opens with". Then post here what you saw.

Intermittent 'Unable to read file' error when exporting/opening .html to .xls

Hi, hope someone can help.
I have an issue where I export a report from the Salesform platform to Excel. The file that is being exported is in html format and the report does not include any Pivot tables.
The 'Unable to read file' error occurs intermittently, when Excel is already open and you export/open it from Salesforce...
Have tried using Excel in safe mode with all the add-ins disabled and still no joy. The
Do not save encrypted paged to disk option has been un-ticked the in Internet Options -> advanced.
The issue happens in IE and other browsers, after raising the issue with Salesforce support they advised to raise the issue with MS instead, so here I am to see if anyone can help!
Any help would be much appreciated

Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tab, uncheck "Do not save encrypted files to disk"
check your GPO settings to see if you have configured this to be unchecked.
Thx.

Console Log shows "Unable to read ICC profile", iWeb and Mail crash

Hi experts
I've a problem with what appears to be my ICC profiles. Mail and iWeb will consistently crash due to this problem. As the subject above says, all Applications will regularly report the following in console.log:
cmsDataProviderGetBytes : CMCopyProfile: returned -4204
CMSValidateProfile : Unable to read ICC profile
To reproduce:
in Mail:
1) Open Mail and go to Apple Menu > Preferences > Rules
2) Create a rule with action "Set Color of background" and in the colour picker drop-down menu choose "Other" -> Crash
in iWeb:
1) Open iWeb, choose "Welcome" as a template and click "Choose" -> crash
In an attempt to solve the problem, I have tried:
1) Using ColorSync Utility to fix profiles
2) Replacing /Library/ColorSync/Profiles from the OS X DVD
3) Creating a new profile using Display Calibrator Assistant
4) Creating a new profile using a third party application, SuperCal
5) Repairing permissions/my startup disk using Disk Utility (doing this last of course)
Does anyone have some other ideas? I don't know whether this is new to 10.4.4 or not.
Thanks in advance,
Paul.

Have had the same problem when I tried an experiment to get iPhoto to stop adding a color profile on my existing photos without a profile.
I removed the .icc files in /System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles and got similar messages in console.log as you do.
Moving the icc. files back made the problem disappear.
What files does your folder mentioned above contain?
Guess you should have the same files as I do.
My folder contains 6 icc. files, including Adobe RGB 1998 and sRGB. Removing these solves my iPhoto fuckup, but as you experience makes other apps crash (like iWeb ..)
