IMac (Intel) :: OS X Mavericks (10.9.4) Memory Card Reader Not Detected
Sep 7, 2014
I have an iMac, early 2009 OS X 10.9.4. Up until a few months ago I didn't have a problem with my memory card reader. The computer no longer detects the memory card reader. There is no indication by the computer that the memory card read has been plugged in. I bought a new memory card reader (different brand). The computer does not detect the new memory card reader. I have tried rebooting the computer. That did not make a difference. I tried unplugging all the USB devices plugged into the computer. That did not work
Info:
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

that doesn't cause sleep issues? I just bought a Startech 12-in-1 because it said it was mac compatible and couldn't find any reports of interfering with sleep, and yet on my 2009 MBP it does the apparently usual trick of starting to sleep then blipping the super drive and waking up again asking for a password. Are there cards out there that work flawlessly, or is it just a problem with the expresscard slot as a whole?

For some reason it seems that my macbook pro isn't reading the SDHC card in my multi (10-in-1) stratitec USB2CR8 reader. I can't seem to find info on whether or not it is the reader and it can't read SDHC or the 4GB card size, or if the issue is with my computer. Anybody got any ideas, and if necessary I'll go and buy a new memory card reader if that is the issue.

I've had a pleasant experience with my imac so far, and it read my SD card fine at first. For some reason I put my SD in the SD card reader and copied the pictures from it. I take it out and put it back in my camera. "The SD card cannot be formatted. It may be defective." Really? I put it back in my iMac. It doesn't mount. I check Finder and Disk Utility. Ya, it's nowhere. I put my other SD card in my iMac. Same issue. Now my camera won't read that one either. I put them in my sister's $300 netbook running Windows 7 Starter. Funny! It reads them! However, my camera still doesn't and my imac still doesn't. I try formatting them. No go. I've tried every format I can. They are just dead. Useless. My sister's computer can read them, and even format them, but something in that stupid iMac made my SD cards defective. I can buy new ones, but should I have to? I can't even see if they'll work through the camera while connected via USB because the camera won't even read them. I bought a Mac to avoid ridiculous problems like this. Was I wrong? Is it just a ticking time bomb like every other computer on the market? Should I immediately go buy a backup drive? If it's doing crazy stuff like this out of the blue, how can I trust it not to randomly crash? I think I overestimated Apple's competence. This should never happen. It actually made my SD cards defective.

I have a iMac (Intel) desktop and also a Windows based PC. I use the newer Mac to process JPEG photos in Lightroom 3, but here's the catch: most of the time my older Sandisk ImageMate 8-in-1 CF reader does not show up in LR3 (I connect the USB plug directly to the back of the Mac's USB slot). It works just fine with the PC. So it may be a hardware problem and I am willing to invest in a new Mac compatible card reader. My Mac runs on OS X (Lion).

How do I remove a usb cable for a media card reader after I have downloaded photos? I get the "you just screwed up your card dummy" notice.I finally figuered out how to eject a cd/dvd. The Mac only takes small media cards and I have to use a card reader to load photos onto my Mac from a SanDisk CompactFlash camera card.With the cd/dvd's I can go to Finder and hit "eject" and it will. With the usb for the card reader I have to pull it out, of course it will not eject like a cd.

I plugged in my 32 GB sdhc card via an external reader and its contents were deleted by the iMac. I restarted the computer and tried to read another sd card and the iMac does not even recognize the card and reader. The power light briefly flashes once. THis computer has read SD cards for many years without a problem.

In the past I complained about lthe above problem and someone in the forum was kind enough to recommend two fixes: (1) SMC reset and (2) PRAM reset and it worked because I was able to view YouTube and had audio. But the above is a recurring problem and I am experiencing the same again.
I now notice that upon startup the upper right corner of my screen shows "Safe Boot" in red. Does this have anything to do with my problem? How can I eliminate this "safe boot" message once and for all, but more important, how can I fix this YouTube/audio/CF card reader problem once and for all?

I simply can't take any of my pictures off of my SD card. I've tried using the USB cable that came with the camera itself, as well as a USB card reader. iPhoto, and the laptop itself does not recognize the card, or that there is any device mounted at all. I've also tried checking "External Disks" in Finder Preferences, didn't seem to work.

If I bought the cheapest iMac at base model right now, in a month or two could I buy more RAM for it? Then could I later buy a better video/graphics card and get that put in And could I have these things done by official Apple peoples. Not that I care much - I'd just like to know if official people do this.

I just installed Windows 7 on my bootcamp. I put in the Snow Leopard in to install the drivers but it didn't install the airport card. I checked device manager> network adapters and the airport card is not there. Does anyone know where I can download the drivers for the airport card?

Got a cheap, no-name USB sound card here. Connected to my new MBP, it's detected as a USB sound device, but no sound comes out when I try to play through. Didn't really expect it to work but it would be nice if I could get it going. I've got the Logitech Z-5500 speaker set, and I want to use the 3 plug analogue connection. At the moment I'm using the optical connection, which gets me surround sound fine, but only if I force it to use a Dolby Pro Logic mix, which is useless for games (great for movies and music though.)

I have gotten this message a few times now. in a small pop-up window. I have however lots of free space. Over 1 TB on both my internal drive and on my backup.
Have checked for software updates. I don't have any antivirus programs or other such stuff. It happens when I have Final Cut Pro X open. Also happened when I was using Aperture. In other words no third party programs.
