XD card no longer recognized

I just migrated from a G4 to a G5 dual 2.0, both running 10.4.9. None of my xD card readers work on the new system although everything was fine on the old one. I insert the card and nothing happens--the led on the reader doesn't flash, no volume appears on the desktop!
I am able to upload from my camera through it's USB port, but that never used to be necessary.
A related question is that my CF cards, although they do mount, no longer start up iPhoto!
Thanks!

Zeitlin:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try resetting the Image Capture preferences that determine what application opens when a camera is connected (memory cards are included). Set it to something else and then back to iPhoto. See if that will let the CF cards get recognized. You might have to delete IC's preference file, com.apple.ImageCapture.plist, from your Library/Prefrerences folder and then relaunch IC and reset.
Other users have reported problems with the sD cards so it may be a system issue rather than an iPhoto issue.
Check in the System Profiler application to see if the memory card is recognized when connected via the card reader.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

IPad 2: SIM card no longer recognized since iOS8

I updated my iPad2 to iOS 8 and all the following versions now having 8.1.2.
First I could resolve the issue by enabling and disabling flight mode and/or bluetooth. Unfortunately this does not work anymore.
Since that time, my SIM card is not recognized anymore. Of course I checked it with other SIM cards and other tablets: my SIM card is OK!
Since I need it for travelling, the iPad is now useless for me.
I read about users who were faced with hardware defects after the update to iOS 7 earlier. Could this be the same for my iPad 2 now?
Thanks for each and any hint!!

ok, no interest on my problem. but i will post an update anyway:
had my iPad 2 for repair at a professional company. they told me: hardware defect.
now I assume that the magnet in the smart cover (I have a Belkin keyboard cover) is damaging the sim card reader, since it is located near the reader.
can anyone confirm this assumption?

Airport Card no longer recognized by PowerBook

I always take my PowerBook G4 to class with me for the purpose of taking notes during class. I was connected to the internet there, over the wireless network (on campus) with no problem.
When I got back home, my PowerBook wasn't seeing the wireless network (at home, seperate from the wireless network on campus), but I knew it was working because my iMac is connected to it just fine, along with two other computers in my house. I tried restarting a couple of times, and actually typing the name of the network into the Airport drop-down menu. This all did nothing, as did repairing the disk permissions.
I find it very unlikely that the card is not seated correctly, because first of all, when I brought the PowerBook back from campus (when it was working properly) it was tranported in my TUMI bag, which has a dedicated padded holder for PowerBooks, and then immediately took it out and sat it on my desk next to my iMac only to find the PowerBook no longer seeing the wireless signal.
And at this point, I could still turn Airport on and off, and I restarted the computer a couple of times to see if it would pick up the signal, all the while Airport was still recognized by the system (I could still turn it off and on from the drop-down menu, but no wireless networks were present).
So, I popped in my OS X DVD to boot from it to use the Repair Disk feature. It came up with an error that said something to the tune of "incorrect number of threads." It repaired the disk without any probems, or so I thought (and so it thought).
Now, the computer wouldl not function because it runs into a kernal panic, forcing me to hard shut-down the computer. It happened everytime, sometimes during startup, sometimes not until I got into OS X, but always soon after the OS starts.
I then booted the computer as a "Safe boot" and this seemed to stop the kernal panics, and I shut down the computer and started it again with no panics. There was no longer any recognition of the Airport card, either. Not even through the Airport Setup Assistant. It keeps telling me there is no card installed.
I have tried two seperate cards, as I thought maybe the one went bad, but nothing came of this. I tried zapping the PRAM, booting into Open Firmware to reset to defaults, all leading to nothing. I even went so far as to completely erase the drive and do a clean install of OS X, which now drops my system down to 10.4. NOTHING.
Please, anyone willing to help that would be great, even if you would like to contact me through iChat and we can discuss this over iSight to get to the root of the problem. Screen name is CoreyAtMiamiU.
Sorry about the long post and thanks for taking the time to read it.

This is a user to user discussion area. So it is unpredictable as to when someone with a suggestion will respond to your post. An hour in the middle of a work day isn't a long time.
Since the card is recognized, there isn't anything wrong with that side of the card. If the card isn't receiving a signal, either the RF side of the card has failed, the antenna wire isn't connected properly, or the antenna in the PowerBook has failed.

My 2008 Mac Pro is no longer recognizing memory in the B card. Is it simply a defective card or should I look elsewhere for an answer.

My 2008 Mac Pro is no longer recognizing memory in the B card. Is it simply a defective card or should I look elsewhere for an answer? It was working unntil sometime early this year. Thank you for any enlightenment you can provide.

I'm not sure I understand. You swapped the A and B modules. The B module does not show up in the A modules slot? That would indicate the module is bad. If the A module doesn't show up in the B module's slot, then the slot is bad.

HT1430 iPad2 is no longer recognizing that the SIM card is installed

My iPad2 is no longer recognizing that the SIM card is installed. I keep ketting a "NO SIM CARD" message even though the card is in the slot. I've tried switching on and off, resetting and removing and then reinstalling the SIM card. Any ideas?

check with your service provider, may be there is a problem with the sim card, if yes
get a replacement sim or see if you can borrow one from someone just for TESTING purpose it it works

Looks like the Silicon Image drivers were moved to the incompatible software folder during install/upgrade.
Downloaded latest drivers, errored out of install claiming that the drivers were from an unknown author!!!
Emailed their tech support this evening describing problem.

Is the SIM from the carrier the device is locked to?
Has the device ever been hacked or jailbroken?
Have you tried simply removing and re-installing the SIM? What about replacing the SIM?

HT1338 cinema Display 30" no longer recognized by my mac pro? What can I do? It worked fine until now.

Cinema display 30" no longer recognized by my mac pro. Until now it worked without problems, then after a crash it fails to recognize the display.
Now it runs in a far lower resolution. What can I do?
I tried to get da driver for it, but could not find any.

Try the other DVI port on the graphics card. On early Mac Pros, only one port is the dual-link DVI needed for full resolution on the 30" display. Make sure the display's USB cable is plugged into the computer.

Canon SX260HS no longer recognized by iPhoto

After upgrading to Mavericks my Canon SX260HS is no longer recognized by iPhoto. When plugged in to a USB port the system report shows the camera, but iPhoto does not mount the camera. The camera briefly displays "communication error" on its display. The SD card can be read by using a standalone card reader attached to another USB port. Looks like some change to the camera communications in Mavericks is at fault, but other than using a card reader I see no solution. Help?

tulsamini:
Wow. You've answered nearly all the questions I was going to ask. What version QT are you running?
Try logging into another account on your Mac and see if the camera can be recognized there. If it is then there's an issue with your primary account. Also try booting into Safe Mode and again check to see if the camera can be seen in your primary account.
Booting into Safe Mode runs the File System Check (fsck) during the boot and only loads the basic minimum extensions, etc. needed by the system. See What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X). Again this will see if there's something that you've added that is causing the problem.
A workaround until you find a solution is to use a card reader. IMO, it's the best way to upload from a camera.
Do you Twango?

Apple ID blocked on iPhone app updates, Mastercard no longer recognized

All the sudden my Mastercard (canada) is no longer recognized. I checked with my bank and everything seems to be fine from their side.
Every time I type the security code, it gives me the message that " this card cannot be used with the itunes store".
After several attempts, I gave up and modified my account to payment "None" option.
They don't want my money: ...fine
Now what is more annoying is that I can't update my apps anymore on my iPhone. I get the message "Apple ID blocked". However, I am able to visualize my ID on the iPhone. I modified my password. Nothing helped. I tried another ID I have from having lived for many years in Europe. All the time my Canadian ID pops up on the App update function with the message "Apple ID blocked".
Can anybody help with that? If this continues, I am seriously thinking about legal action as I paid for these apps and now I can't access up-to-date functions for a software which I own. Any ideas if there are some consumer defense organizations out there to help with that.
I am seriously fed up with all the time lost with this problems (3 days spending my time working on this problem now!!!!)

So I purchased Navigon app on my iphone 4 with my iTunes account id then got a new iPhone 4s and signed in with the required Apple ID and now Navigon app does not recognize me as its owner. When I try to restore purchases I make on the app it tells me to buy it first. The problem seems to be it defaults to my Apple ID when I am asked for a password and does not give me the option of using my iTunes account ID and password which is what I used when I purchased the app. HELP?
