W700DS with Express card issues

Hi All
I have a W700Ds, With a 34mm Express card slot.
I am trying to get it to work with two cards....
Firstly a First com 4 port USB 2 card.
The Device manager says that the card is working ok and the driver is correctly installed however anything plugged into any of the 4 ports does not show up.???
2nd an AVER MEDIA Tv card.
The blue power light is on
The driver was successfully installed .
However when I start the TV program I get the error message that says the Device is not found ?
Anyone got any helpful ideas ?
Thanks in Advance.

I guess your USB card has a power jack for USB bus power? Depending on the USB device you use you have to provide external power through either a USB port or an external power supply.

Defective Tecra S11 - Need new notebook with Express-Card-Slot

My TECRA-S11-166 is faulty.
I need a new Notebook with *Express-Card-Slot* and (if its possible) RS232.
What kind of Notebook comes with a Express-Card-Slot ?

Hi
There are different Toshiba notebooks on the market and Toshiba releases new models in very short intervals.
I would recommend you to visit the Toshiba notebook product page and to compare the available series and models.
The Tecra laptops offer a business professional use and Portege series are very best in mobile computing.
The Satellite series are entertainment machines designed to provide exceptional all-round performance.

Sony DCR-HC62 camcorder won't connect to iMovie with express card adapter

I got a Sony HC62 Mini DV video camera but it will not connect to iMovie. Since I don't have a firewire 6 pin on my Mac (only a 9 pin) i got an express card adapter. So I am using 4 pin (camera) to 6 pin (Express card) firewire. I have no other devices to test the express card but i tested the firewire and the video camera that I got and it works fine with a Windows XP computer. I have also talked with sony and I ended up with either there is something wrong with the express card or the iMovie software.

Well there is nothing there because the express card is listed under a PCI card. The express card is recognized when inserted but that is it will not notice the camera attached to the express card. since i couldn't test the card i went and got the card replaced, but still with no luck.
Would returning the express card and buying a firewire 4 pin to 9 pin be worth it? (given that i can get one since i can only find one company that makes them and they are a wholesales only) This way i can connect it directly to my mac's firewire 9 pin port.

New MacBook Pro won't ake up from sleep with Express Card in it.

My Mac won't come out of sleep if there is an express card in it. If I hit the power switch both screens light up but the mouse and keyboard are unresponsive. My only option at this point is to hold the power switch and (to quote Moss) "Force and unexpected reboot".
It also locks up if I power off and remove the card while it is awake.
Any help would be appreciated. If the answer is to load the next version of the OS to be released this month, I'll do that.

I have the same problem....MBP not waking from sleep with SIIG 2-Port ExpressCard installed....
10.4.10 etc..... Same thing happened with 10.4.9
I'll have to try the "Turn Power Off" command from the menu bar to see if that helps. But I just figure on having to do a funky restart if the machine goes to sleep on me.
Usually I'm editing and having the Energy Saver set to "Never Sleep" because that screws up editing software. But when I'm not editing....sleep my pretty!

Express card issue

Hi Folks,
I upgraded to Leopard, then to Snow Leopard recently and just noticed that somewhere along the way my Express Card is no longer working. I can't even see it as a hardware device. I run XP via bootcamp mostly on the MBP, and the card works fine there so I know it is not a hardware issue.
If this a windows issue, I would remove the hardware drivers etc via the Device Manager. I have no clue how to completely remove and reinstall hardware on the Mac OSX though. Any suggestions?? Is there a similar feature within OSX?
I also tried optioncommand+PR on startup, it rebooted after a moment then booted normally and still did not work.

Is this a particular card not working or no cards work?
If it is specific card then it most likely is not Snow Leopard compatible or it needs updated drivers.

Firewire express card issue on X230

Hi all,
I need a firewire port to support a wavefront analyser for my company. I was using before a couple of cards with my X200T and everything was fine.
I just got a X230 with all driver and bios up to date and one of my express card isn't working.
It does still work on the X200T, i've got the new hardware connection under windows 7, but the IEEE1394 card doesn"t show up in the hardware manager, neither the analyser if a connect it to the card.
The other card, that is also based upon a TI chipset, does works.
That is weird. I got some hope upgrading the BIOS to the 1.13 release, but that didn't change anything. Maybe some option somewhere ?

Need help with expression builder issue

Hi all
I'm hoping someone can help with an issue I'm having. I'm creating a database for a manufacturing joinery. For 1 of my forms, Ive to create a despatch form which includes order details along with customer details. Some customers can have contracts in which
they get a fixed price on certain item. This is where the problem lies.
For my customers table, I have a field called "On contract" which is a Yes/No field. I've created a query to attempt to make this form. I'm having trouble with adding a total column at the end of this query. Quantity,Unit Price, Contract Price
are also in the query. I've been trying to build an expression to say like;
iif [on contract] = "Yes", [Quantity] * [Contract Price]
iif [on contract] = "no", [Quantity] * [Unit Price]
It obviously wont work, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Assuming you are using the database is SQL Server:
SELECT [CustomerID]
,[Quantity]
,[Unit Price]
,[Contract Price]
,[Total] = CASE WHEN [On Contract] = 'Yes' THEN [Quantity] * [Contract Price]
WHEN [On Contract] = 'No' THEN [Quantity] * [Unit Price] END
FROM [Customers]
Modify the SQL to suit your need.
Hope this helps.

OK, what's with express cards

OK, I'll admit it.......I'm a little slow.
It took me a week to figure out I have no pcmcia port on my new MBP. Expresscard???!!! Never heard of one.
This is seriously bumming me out, because I was planning on using my sierra wireless card (pcmcia) with bootcamp (or parallels) when I am on the road.
What gives with the expresscard port? Does anyone actually make hardware for it? I don't see much in this format up on the apple site, that's for sure.

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT get anything from firewire direct. I ordered their fw800 card in May. It never worked. I've sent it back (using an RMA number provided by them---at my expense) and after they have had it for over a week, I have heard nothing from them. Their response to the problem originally was to "give them time to figure it out". I gave them more than two weeks. They never got back to me as planned so I contacted them. All apologies, they gave me an rma number and told me to return it. When they received it they would send me a new one. So here I wait---they have my money and they have the card. [I'll get off the soap box now.]

C2D iMac with graphic card issues

We own a long in the tooth C2D 24inch iMac that has the replacable graphics board in it. It is running Lion and currently having lots of fits and starts all video related and I am expecting the video to be failing in the near future. It has 2 22" screens attached to it for day time business usage running Parallels v7 - the third via a USB to DVI device. I have iStat installed with the fans running and this has definately helped it live day to day with less issues as the internals are certainly cooler running. It has been a warrior and is being pushed way beyond what it was designed for.
My question is for the techies, would moving back to Leopard place less strain on the board once all the current level browsers are brought back to current? Would Mountain Lion help? I have received a cost to replace the board and probably the cost is best spent investing toward a new(er) machine.

Hi Barry,
I have received a cost to replace the board and probably the cost is best spent investing toward a new(er) machine.
Are you willing to share the cost estimate with us. I've seen two other posts this morning where people were in the "repair or replace" quandary and I find myself guessing the cost based on other models, which is shaky logic at best!.
And was the estimate for just the video board or the entire logic board?
Thanks!

Z1 SD card issues..Often caused by FAKE SD cards, unbeknownst to the user and those trying to help?

Hi All...
Well for the last month or so Ive had problems with my 64 gb SD card..losing data, getting corrupt and requiring non stop formatting..until eventually it just died totally.
Of course, throughout all this I was searching various forums for fixes and reasons why...and as far as I could see it was the fault of the Z1 'killing' SD cards ( I tried the card in other peoples phones and it did not work either..so I assumed it had been corrupted BY the phone!......since it HAD worked perfectly when i first got it)...
Well...Once it finally died totally this week., I decided to send it back to Samsung for an RMA. The card I had was a good quality, 64gb Samsung Evo SDXC class 10...Bear in mind I purchased it from an Ebay seller that had 1000s of positive feedback (1 or 2 negs regards late postage only) and the card arrived in the post in packaging with hologram etc, and all appeared good quality....
Im actually pretty tech savvy..and indeed internet shopping savvy, and have never been ripped off or conned before.....I didnt buy a 64gb EVo that was ridiculously cheap or anything..I paid what they are worth (then about £27)
But Samsung took one look at it and informed me it was a fake...the issue I had come up against was that the card worked fine up until its ACTUAL (not listed) capacity was reached..which was 7 GIGS!!!..not 64!!!...it was at that point that it started corrupting files and failing in general....
Which in my case was a couple of weeks after installing it in my phone (and the day I got round to piling all my music on it!)......so I had a few weeks of actual use out of it while all seemd fine....enough time to leave positive feedback for the seller and all!.....DEVIOUS SWINES!!! : D.
Anyway,
Now Im wondering...since these symptoms (files vanishing, corrupting etc) have been talked about so many times on these forums and elsewhere...not only on the Xperia Z1, but on all phones and devices that use SD cards...I wonder just how many are REALLY down to fake SD cards.....They are VERY realistic looking fakes...they even work pretty well up to a point (though probs not as fast as a real class 10 if you were to actually test them)..
In future, when offering help to people with SD card issues..i think I will make an effort to ask them first about the provenance of their SD card, and maybe try and get images of it. (after the fact Ive found several websites that show the fake ones...I even found an image of the EXACT fake I have..same serial numbers, and same tiny printing error and all!....which was THIS site https://thecounterfeitreport.com/product/504/Samsung-micro-SDXC-Memory-Cards.html)
In all the threads I pored over, trying to find a fix for my SD card issues..I can not remember a single instance of someone asking if the card was definitely real or not..or anyone suspecting this to be the issue....(though Im sure there ARE, i didnt find one though..not that I would havee thought it was the case with mine,,,,since I had NO reason to think it WAS fake..what with the perfect packaging, and seller having no neg feedback after selling hundreds of them!).
Im not some sort of SD card expert..BUT I am pretty up to date with regards consumer tech.....and until Samsung revealed to me I had been conned...I had absolutely no INKLING that the cause of my issues wa a fake card...on no forums did anyone ask the person with the issue 'are you sure your card is real?'.....and I am really coming round to think that these fake cards are RIFE out there on the market....so realistic looking, package and all, that probably otherwise legitimate sellers are trading in them......the KILLER being the fact they do actually work...maybe for MONTHS if it takes you a while to reach its true capacity....and certainly long enough in many cases to mean the nefarious seller gets away scot free!
So watch out guys...I ceritanly will be in fuiture...Now I know that fake cards are a big thing.....its really easy to spot the fake ones (if the seller uses a REAL picture of the item on the listing!)...they are by no means identical to the real deal when you know what to look for (in the case of fake EVO 64gb like mine, just 'made in Taiwan' and the back being gloss black instead fo white, is enough to show it as fake.....but I did not know that at the time when an absolutely perfect lookng offical Samsung package turned up at my door!....
Anyone else have this yet? Im sure they have....also, anyone wonder now if the cause of their woes is a fake card? If you would like to post here, Im happy to have a look at it!
Thanks all!
(Here is my fake one for you all to see : D...apparently it is a VERY common fake....wish I had known! I also wish i still had the very realistic packaging too!)

Well to be honest I wasnt aware of such things myself until I got stung.....or rather not aware that you could follow all the rules, and do everything right, like check for good feedback, (my seller had 1000s positve and 99% ratio....and not buy items that have a price that is 'too good to be true'...........and STILL get ripped off!
You live and you learn! Ive been shopping online for just about 10 years and this was the VERY FIRST time Ive had a problem of ANY kind!
I had gotten so confident shopping online, that I bought a pretty valuable watch online not a month ago..my first 'large' online purchase in fact.....a Casio GPW-1000 RAF edition... a quite rare '500 pieces in UK' item. Though it came from a large watch dealer, I realise now that it was still a risk (though I had the protection of paying by Credit Card..which I willl ALWAYS do from now on!)....as they may have sold a counterfiet item, and not actually realised it themselves...
Since I have had this experience of buying a counterfeit product,, I haev been reading into the phenomena..and it turns out that Casio G Shock watches (the type I spent a fari bit of money on...a legitimate one luckily!) are very heavily counterfeited...and are ALL OVER Ebay....who seems to do nothing about it!
I can understand (though not condone AT ALL) criminals counterfeiting a sought after watch design, or jewellery and things like that...because they have a market for them, in the shape of people that cant afford the real thing, and think its ok to buy a cheap and poor quality knock off, that only superficially appears to be real.......
...but I have to say its a big surprise to me that they would counterfeit something like an SD card, even if it is a quite highly regarded model.......and even go to such effort to copy the packaging perfectly......I think that the fact that so much effort went into faking a Samsung Evo 64gb sd card ..that it demonstrates that there are a LOT of them out there....hundreds of thousands for sure....but could there be millions?
Due to this prevelance, I think it might well be worth asking each person that comes on the forum with an SD card problem, in particular those with a'new' SD that is losing data, or needs to reformat all the time, or any of the 'giveaway' symptoms...to ask them for an image of the offending article as a starting point.....and to then compare it to images of the real ones that are online...
Im sure most of them will deny they own a fake....I certainly didnt think for one second my problems were due to a counterfeit card...as I said in my post...the first I knew of it was when Samsung themselves informed me!
Otherwise we end up going round in circles trying to 'fix the unfixable'..which is what happend to me : D
Anyway, I will keep an eye out for people on the forum, and a couple of other tech sites I frequent, and see if I can identify any more of these fakes, and hopefully can catch them soon enough that the customers can get their money back, since the problems often dont manifest themselves until the time for immediate refund is passed (once again, this happened to me, and Im having to claim through Paypal..though they are being very helpful...its only £22...but its the principle of the thing!)
Thanks all, and stay vigilant!

My account wont let me use my debit card i put the right info in but its not letting me pay with my card

I just want to use my debit card but its not letting me

By 'not letting me' you mean ... ? If you are getting an error message then what does it say ?
Debit cards are no longer accepted as a valid payment method in all countries - from this page :
You may be able to use other payment types in your country, like debit and Maestro cards.
which implies that they are not accepted in all countries, and there have been a number of posts about them being declined.
For a card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account.
If the card is being declined then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support and see if they know why it's being declined (but you may not be able to use a debit card) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management

Satellite P300-220 (PSPCCE) and express card with firewire

I have problems with a shared IRQ between firewire (IEEE1394) connector and ati radeon 4600 mobility.(the IRQ used by both device is the 16)
This sharing make my firestudio presonus (sound card external via firewire) problems while reading music on my DAO.
I would like to buy an express card to solve this problem but i must be sure than it will not be the same IRQ (16) than the other firewire connection.
If you are using such a card please verify wich IRQ is used when it's connected on the laptop.
You can see it with the device manager.
Thanks a lot.
toskidus

Hi
The Windows OS controls and assigns automaticity all recourses to all controllers!
In my case the SD host controller and the graphic card shares the same IRQ 16 and there is NO conflict.
So I doubt that your issue is related to the same IRQ which is uses by graphic card and firewire.
Sorry but this is everything what I can suggest regarding your issue

Mic issue: SB X-FI Extreme 7.1 PCI-express card. New driver/software to blame?

NMic issue: SB X-FI Extreme 7. PCI-express card. New driver/software to blame? My mic has worked perfectly up untill the new driver update. It is now version .04.000 released 30 June 09'. That was yesterday as of this post. It was a complete reinstall of the driver and software and a new updater. When I finished all of the updates my mic no longer worked. Keep in mind that I have 2 mics and neither of them work. With the old driver and software I was able to access the Creative Audio Control Panel and I would find a tab called "Jacks". In that tab I could select "line in" or "microphone". I would select microphone and all would work well. Now I have a completely dumbed down Creative Audio Control Panel interface with no option that is similar. I have clean wiped and reinstalled the driver and sofware updates 3 times now with the same effect.Can anyone help please? I really don't want to wait -3 weeks for Creative support to get back to me. The only thing worse than Creative support is UBISoft support!
Thanks in advance.

ESATA express card does not work with Mavericks. Any suggestions?

This is an Apiotek II 300 Express Adapter. I went out to Apiotek.com and it appears the domain is for sale. Is there any way to get a software update or do I have to buy a new Express Card that allows eSATA drives to work with Mavericks. I did a backup before I upgraded using X 10.7.5 and everything worked fine. The eSATA drive is not seen using Disk Utility either.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

The driver has to come from the manufacturer of the card, so your two options are to get another card or to use your full backup to go back to 10.7.5. That assumes it's a clone backup and not Time Machine.

HP Express Card Mini Remote Mappings, Issues, Woahs, Questions.

Ok, I am trying to actually get this Mini-Remote to be useful for my DV5-1235DX.
First, is there an easy way to remap the buttons on the remote control? I will never use HP Smart DVD. I do not use HP Smart Menu. I will not use Media Center. I prefer my own software over those packages.
1). Any way to map those buttons to something else and stop the calls they make starting the existing software?
2). Is there a full list of which media functions the remaining buttons are mapped to? I have found some so far provided below.
Remote Button Virtual Key Media Key
Stop VK_MEDIA_STOP MEDIA_STOP
Rewind MEDIA_FASTFORWARD
Play/Pause VK_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE
Fast Forward MEDIA_REWIND
Previous VK_MEDIA_PREVIOUS_TRACK MEDIA_PREVIOUSTRACK
Next VK_MEDIA_NEXT_TRACK MEDIA_NEXTTRACK
Up MEDIA_CHANNEL_UP
Down MEDIA_CHANNEL_DOWN
Direction Up VK_UP
Direction Down VK_DOWN
Direction Left VK_LEFT
Direction Right VK_RIGHT
OK VK_RETURN
Back VK_BROWSER_BACK BROWSER_BACKWARD
Settings "i" Volume Down VK_VOLUME_DOWN VOLUME_DOWN
Mute VK_VOLUME_MUTE VOLUME_MUTE
Volume Up VK_VOLUME_UP VOLUME_UP
As can be seen I am still missing some key buttons and their matched Media Key Function Name.
I would appreciate any and all help on finding the missing button functions and remapping the current app start calls.
Thank you very much in advance for your time,
Kelly
P.S. - EDIT: A programmer friend pointed out the IR Software/Driver may be sending virtual keys and not just media key signals. With that I was able to map a few more to their virtual key and can use those buttons now as well.
With this new information I can now map all buttons except the little "i" and the 5 buttons across the top (Power, DVD, SmartMenu, Display Switch, MediaCenter).
P.P.S. - Is there even an application that does anything when pressing the "i" button on the remote? I've tried almost every application that was installed on the laptop and not one has responded when pressing that button. The HP User Guides section 'HP Mobile Remote Control (Select Models Only) > Button quick reference' lists this button as Settings and says:
"Press to display system information. The button may also be used to display settings menus for some multimedia software." It does not display system information and I have yet to find any software it displays anything in.

Well, I called HP Support today.
They verified the only reaction they could get from that "Settings" button on a similar model (they did not have the exact DV5-1235dx on hand) was to interrupt the screen saver. This is the exact and only behavoir I have found with that key.
They were also unable to provide any technical information (such as remote code, key being emulated, virtual key command, or media key mapping).
So basically on a similar model device they experienced the exact same thing, the key appears to have no function in any of the software provided by HP.
It is very disappionting that their technical support was so lacking that they could not describe the functionality of the key even after being sent up a level and passed over to a third tech.
Until I figure out the mapping of this key, it appears to be a nice way to remotely interrupt the screensaver. Then again any of the other keys will do that as well.
I did find some use for knowing both the VK and MK mappings. Media Player Classic HomeCinema allows the use of either VK or MK mapping. It also allows the use of both. By using both some keys can be made to perform double duty.
Example: MPC-HC has the Play function mapped to MK of MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE. By mapping the VK of VK_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE to one of the Jump Backward commands [eg Jump Backward (medium)] then hitting the Play/Pause key while something is playing will pause playback, and do a short rewind. It will also do another short rewind and start playing again on the next press.
Example 2: MPC-HC has the Mute function mapped to MK VOLUME_MUTE. By mapping the VK of VK_VOLUME_MUTE to Toggle Subtitles then pressing Mute will mute the sound and turn subtitles on. Press again to turn subtitles off and turn the sound back on.
This remote is similar to other HP laptops and so if you happen to know a piece of software which responds to the 'Settings i' button on any model of the HP laptop with any express card style remote running Windows Vista 64-bit please give a shout.
Thanks again,
Kelly
