USB, CF and Card Readers

Hello All!
I've got a Mid-2010 Macbook Pro with an interesting little issue.
I have a Canon 7D that uses a CF card.  I have a few 8GB and 16GB 600x CF cards and a couple different readers.  When I plug in any card in any reader on the Macbook...
If I copy images from the card to anywhere on the system using the finder, the card dismounts and I get a disk unplugged error.
I can open a terminal and do a /bin/cp from the card to anywhere on the system and it's fine.
I can put any card in any reader on my Mac Pro or W7 box and all is well.
Strange?  Any ideas?
Thanks,
-b

  • K450 USB Ports and Card Readers not working

    When I plug in devices to my K450 ideacentre desktop USB ports, they are not recognized.  The same for a couple of memory cards I have tried in the card reader.  These are all working fine when put in other computers.  The card reader and USB ports do work when I insert a multi card reader into the USB port or a multi USB port into the USB port (and then use either of those to read the same external hard drive or memory cards that don't show up when installed directly).  Any idea what this could be?  I'm sure it's something simple that I'm missing but I can't figure it out.  I'm running Windows 8.  Thanks for any help!

    I wanted to add to this...I did plug in a CF card the other day and that was recognized.  I then tried my external hard drive directly again in a front USB port and it worked for a while (an hour or so).  Then it suddenly was not there anymore as if I'd ejected it even though I didn't.  Tried to put it back in and nothing.  This tells me it may be a hardware problem since it "recognized" it for a bit.  It's very frustrating.

  • Which cards and card readers would you suggest?

    Hello!
    I am very new to JavaCard development and I have just downloaded Java Card Development Kit.
    To develop application and test it I think the development kit is enough. But when application is ready to be deployed which card and what card readers would you suggests that work reliable. Where to find them?
    Thank you very much!

    I suggest Sdi010 or scr331-DI from SCMmicro.com.

  • B570 USB ports and card reader result in error of "not accessble" until system is restarted

    Hello,
    I have a new IdeaPad B570. Whenever I plug in my external hdd or other device (like iPod) in any of the three usb ports I get an error that the drive is not accessible...until I restart the computer and then it recognizes it with no problem.  The same thing happens when I put my SD camera card into the card reader.  This is annoying for things that should be plug and play.  However, when I plug in a mouse it connects immediately.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thank you!

  • Z2 Tablet and Card readers

    Guys is there any items or know hardware that enables you to use Camera full size SDS cards with the Tablet. Id like to save the photos onto the device and view them.
    Also does the Z2 read RAW file images
    thanks

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    This should be possible using any standard USB SD card reader and a USB OTG cable.
    The tablet doesn't have builtin support for RAW but i see there are 3:rd party apps in Google Play that can open them.

  • How do I stop organizer to automatic import everything from camera and card readers?

    I want myself to decide what and when something shall be added to organizer.

    Hi,
    You don't say which version of elements you are using or which operating system you are running so I'll give some general answers.
    Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Camera or Card Reader and change the Download Option to Advanced.
    Now when you get images from the card, it will display a preview of each image and you select/de-select each one before telling it to download the selected ones.
    If you can't turn on the advanced dialog, your screen depth in pixels may be too small.
    If you don't want the downloader to be started when you insert the card then the operating system needs a tweak.
    The other thing to look at is watched folders, you may want to turn the facility off.

  • Dell 2407wfp and card reader and Mac Pro

    Does the card read work when monitor is plugged into a MacPro?
    I did not install any software but just plugged my 2407wfp into my Mac Pro using DVI port and it recognized the montior. I inserted a cf card into the monitor but nothing happend. Do I need to install any software for the usb ports and card readers to work on my Mac Pro?

    It should do. What I think you've missed is to connect the USB uplink cable (a standard USB2 A to B) from the display to your MP.

  • OS X 10.4.x on PPC and Intel having problems with Card Readers

    Hello,
    I am in charge of a school district running about 75 client macs, all PPC G5 and Intel mixed. I have been having reports that the Lexar card readers for the digital photography lab sometimes do not auto-mount the media that is inserted into them. Apple System Profiler detects the card reader, but when the card is stuck into the reader it does not appear in finder at all to retrieve the files.
    Upon testing, a reboot usually alleviates the problem, but the teachers feel that the interuption in class and productivity time for a reboot is unacceptable.
    I have the user accounts managed through Workgroup Manager on my Xserve, and I have it set so that they have access to auto-mount media (unless I'm missing a setting somewhere. But i'd think if the setting was off, the reboot wouldn't matter and it wouldn't fix the issue).
    At anyrate, my question is has anyone else expierenced problems with card readers and auto-mounting the media in OS X? How about in a multi-user environment. Does anyone have any suggestions? All are welcome.
    Thanks so much for your time.

    Since the latest update Mac OS X 10.4.9, my USB card readers have stopped working. The media is recocognized, but the transfer rate is so slow I could manually write the binary.
    There were no issues prior to this update, and card readers work on machines NOT updated.

  • USB to Express Card adapter/Express Card to Firewire

    Macbook Air October 2010.
    Comes with two USB 2.0 ports
    Can I do the following?
    - Connect  USB to Express Card adapter
    - Connect the Express Card port to a Firewire adapter
    - Connect MiniDV camcorder to Firewire port

    Also... as they went through the trouble to specifically indicate the compatible cards, I would imagine there are known incompatibilities with other card types. None of the cards they list would have difficulty over USB. Each of these cards already have similar counterparts that are available to connect directly to USB (vs. using an express card). This would seem most useful for people that may already have express cards that they use in other notebooks so they could use them in a machine without an express card slot... otherwise I would imagine people would just get the USB versions of these devices. USB hubs can obviously connect directly to a USB port, memory card readers are also available for connecting directly to a USB port. RS232 is pretty dated and USB can easily handle RS 232 throughput. I'm not exactly sure what a printer card is... but printers generally connect via USB (or parallel in older machines)... again... very easy for USB to handle. In order for it to work with firewire, they would have to have a hardware translator built into it. I'm sure they would list firewire if it was an option.

  • Firewire Solution? USB To Express Card Adapter Cable + Firewire Expresscard

    Has anyone tried this as a possible solution for getting firewire on their macbook 13.3 unibody? In theory it would seem that you could use this USB To Express Card Adapter Cable and plug in a firewire expesscard. Anyone tried it?

  • USB CompactFla​sh cards reported with wrong geometry by the BIOS

    Hello.
    While working with DOS (true DOS such as MS-DOS 6.22, not Windows-based command line) on Toshiba Satellite A665-12W with ROM-BIOS version 1.50, the ROM-BIOS "Interrupt 13h" functions report bad geometry for most of USB-plugged CompactFlash cards.
    I tested it with many different CompactFlash cards and many different USB card readers.
    Int 13h, function 15h incorrectly repports 1023 cylinders for small cards having less than 1023 cylinders. The number of heads and sectors-per-track is good. The resulting computed total of sectors is bad, making the card almost unusable.
    Int 13h, function 48h incorrectly repports the drive as having only one sector (sometimes zero sector), making the flash drive unusable.
    These problems do not show up with same cards and card readers on other computers.
    I can provide details if needed:
    Make and models of cards and card readers (many of them).
    Copy of the ATA "identify device" information block of the cards.
    Assembler language program samples.
    Best regards,
    Chris.

    That doesn't appear to be a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region.
    If it's a European model, you could check the Toshiba Europe forums.

  • Java Card Coding Examples and Cards

    Could some of you more experienced with Java Card programming send me an example of a Java Card code?
    This stuff is pretty confusing.
    Also, is their a website that has definitive prices for a sample of Java Cards, card coders, and card readers?
    Thanks,

    Hello,
    You can search for vendors and products. G&D, Aconite, Collis and many ohers.
    See this, It has also a code snippet:
    http://members.tripod.com/tanmaykm/work/articles/smartcard.html
    after reading that, see this for a code:
    http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-11-1999/javadev/CorporateCard.html
    You need a loader or simulator to test your applets. And also JDK... Download JDK from SUN for free, compile your code and load it on the card... I found also good examples here:

  • Sun Ray, windows & and USB card readers

    Hi all,
    I read, or was told that the new version of the SR software (version 5) should enable more USB devices to work in combination with Sun Ray.
    We currently serve our users with windows via SunRay - and it works very well. The only issue being that we need to get usb card readers - such as the acr38 to work with SunRay. Until now this has not worked. Does anyone know whether this is currently possible or whether this should be possible using SR 5?
    thanks and regards,
    Paul

    Hi,
    Do you provide terminal server desktop or a VDI based 'XP' desktop to your users ?
    the next early access release (EA2) will support additional USB support; it seems only for VDI based 'xp' desktops; so that might solve your USB card reader request if you provide XP desktops.
    The current PC/SC release does support some kind of second card reader attached to the sunray. Never looked indepth into this feature but i did see it read the card from the additional reader with the added debug tools.
    Do you actually need this second card reader? Maybe you could use the PC/SC passthrough to windows to read the your card in the windows backend losing the second card reader.
    if all else fails you could try a network USB hub. This device is attached to the network and your reader is attached to the device. Then you use a client on the windows environment to connect to the device; hence connect to your USB reader. The client on the windows environment that works with the device i've tested was only able to run just once on a terminal server.. so this is not a very scaleable solution if you run terminal server.
    regards,
    Patrick

  • Ipod camera connector and compatability with card readers

    I have ipod classic video with ipod camera connector.  It will not recognise a card reader and unfortunately my camera won't connect to the USB cabel anymore.  How do I find out what card readers are compatible or is it the Sandisk Extreme III card?

    Should be able to work with any SD card of the right size.

  • Thunderbolt card readers and HD's

    I'm a photographer, so do a lot of image downloading to the Air, and a lot of backups to external drives.
    Have been keeping my eye out for compact flash/SD card readers and external hard drives or SSD's that are Thunderbolt compatible but nothing yet.
    Anyone know of upcoming devices?

    I had the opportunity to see the Pegasus R4 in action a week or so back at a trade show and it's incredibly fast, it absolutely destroyed USB in side-by-side and made even FireWire 800 look pokey. But as you can see they've very cost prohibitive for the typical "consumer" when it comes to storage solution. Because it's such new tech and only being actively deployed by Apple I really feel like we're still 4-6 months out from seeing consumer grade storage solutions with Thunderbolt in the $99-$499 price range. Heck, I rarely even see FW800 externals outside of Apple Stores unless it's a triple interface drive from LaCie.
