Re: [WAMUG} Compact Flash Card.

[Anthony (Tony) Francis]

Hi Peter

Re: The 4 Finger salute, have used this method Peter but it only lasts for a 
short while. I have a memory of Ronni warning me of processing Photo’s, which 
is my hobby,that for each photo processed the computer makes a copy, which is 
probably the cause of my problem, too many copies, but where do they hide, I’ve 
tried searching but to no avail. If I can find the copies I can delete them. I 
have been using Affinity Photo and processing RAW files.

Thanks Peter

Kind Regards

Tony

Re: Compact Flash Card.

[Anthony (Tony) Francis]

Good Morning Stephen

Thank you for your suggestions,all tried but without success,when I opened Disk 
Utility the Card was no where to be seen, the Card Reader is working ok, having 
tried other cards all working fine. The Card isn’t working in the Camera and I 
have tried the Card in a different Camera, so I’ll have to see if an IT person 
can help, otherwise the Photo’s will remain locked away. One suggestion from 
the “ Camera" was that the Card needed re-formatting, I don’t think that would 
be the way to go as I’ll lose everything.
SanDisk trouble shooting wasn’t very helpful either,all assume that the Card 
will be found by searching. So I think I’ll drop SanDisk an e-mail and see if 
any of their technicians can help.

Again thank you for your help Stephen.

Kind Regards

Have you tried the good ol’ 4-finger salute (reboot the computer while holding 
down the Option, Command, P and R keys all at the same time. Keep holding until 
the computer restarts at least twice - I usually wait for the third restart)? 

This used to be called resetting the PRAM. It’s called something else these 
days but it has the same effect. 

Worth a try. I’ve had it fix similar problems many times in the past.

Dam it eh ?

The only other option might be that if you come up to Perth in the future.
Drop in to Macs4U at 269 Great Eastern Highway in Midland and see if they can 
help.
They have some very good techs there.

If you eject a volume, you can use Disk Utility to mount the volume so that 
it’s available in the Finder.

Open Disk Utility for me 

In the Disk Utility app  on your Mac, select the volume you want to mount.

Click the Mount button .

Hello Stephen

Thank you for the information, I have downloaded Picture Rescue 2, the only 
problem is that the Flash Card can’t be seen even though the Card Reader is 
connected, if i remember correctly I can search the Computer to find a “Hidden” 
Card or Hard Drive but I can’t remember exactly where to look, any ideas please?

Thanks Stephen

Tony

SanDisk Compact Flash card for Nikon

[Lloyd White]

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread! Again!

I have Nikon CoolPix 5700 camera that uses CompactFlash. Currently using
SanDisk 512MB. 

Recently in Dubai - with full assurances from the sales person that it would
work - I bought a 4 GB SanDisk Ultra II Compact Flash.

After insertion the message came up out of memory so I formatted the card
within the camera.

Still no joy. Should it work with the 5700?

If not does anyone have a use for it. It costs $31 duty free and I would
accept offers.

Otherwise I will have a 4GB back-up disk; which is useful for ?

Regards

Lloyd

Re: SanDisk Compact Flash card for Nikon

[Philippe Chaperon]

Hi Lloyd,
Well I had the same problem only a few weeks ago when the 4GB San Disk I
purchased for ... $18 at BigW, was not accepted by my Lumix FZ30. Turns out
the FZ30 accepts cards up to 2 GB also, like yours. And what's more my
multi-card reader San Disk ImageMate purchased 18 months ago for $69 would
not read the 4 GB card also.

I ended up by giving my card to someone whose camera accepts the 4GB ones,
and he insisted in giving me a couple of 2GB cards to compensate!

I guess that's the price we have to pay for the 'convenience' of a fast
progressing technology.

Best of luck,

Philippe C

Re: SanDisk Compact Flash card for Nikon

[Mark Secker]

This is reasonably common limitation on older digital cameras
The limitation is that the camera can only reading FAT 16 disk format  
which has a limit of 2GB.


Any CF card above this will be FAT 32.

You can, theoretically, reformat these drives as fat16 (formats them  
as 2GB drives) .


As to what cameras accept FAT16 or FAT 32  google helps if it's  
not listed in the manual


 ...

I have the following old CF equiped cameras

Canon EOS D60 released  mid 2002
Canon Powershot G3 released  late 2002
Canon Powershot A80 released late 2003

by dumb trial an error (ie bough the cards found they didn't work in  
one or other camera I discovered that:

The D60 and the A80 are limited to FAT16
but the G3, released a whole year before the A80 and only a couple of  
months after the D60 has FAT32 support.

Hi Lloyd,

Well I had the same problem only a few weeks ago when the 4GB San  
Disk I purchased for ... $18 at BigW, was not accepted by my Lumix  
FZ30. Turns out the FZ30 accepts cards up to 2 GB also, like yours.  
And what's more my multi-card reader San Disk ImageMate purchased 18  
months ago for $69 would not read the 4 GB card also.


I ended up by giving my card to someone whose camera accepts the 4GB  
ones, and he insisted in giving me a couple of 2GB cards to  
compensate!


I guess that's the price we have to pay for the 'convenience' of a  
fast progressing technology.


Best of luck,

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread! Again!

I have Nikon CoolPix 5700 camera that uses CompactFlash. Currently  
using

SanDisk 512MB.

Recently in Dubai - with full assurances from the sales person that  
it would

work - I bought a 4 GB SanDisk Ultra II Compact Flash.

After insertion the message came up out of memory so I formatted  
the card

within the camera.

Still no joy. Should it work with the 5700?

If not does anyone have a use for it. It costs $31 duty free and I  
would

accept offers.

Otherwise I will have a 4GB back-up disk; which is useful for ?

Regards

Lloyd
