Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting  
If memory cards do not appear in My Computer or Windows  
Explorer (Windows operating systems) or on the desktop (Mac  
operating systems), check the following:  
Make sure the card reader is fully connected to your card  
reader. Unplug and reconnect your card reader.  
Try a different memory card of the same type in the same  
slot. If a different memory card works, the original memory  
card should be replaced.  
Disconnect the cable from your card reader and shine a  
flashlight into the empty card slots. Look to see if any pin  
inside is bent, and straighten bent pins with the tip of a  
mechanical pencil. Replace your memory card reader if a  
pin has bent so much that it touches another pin.  
If memory cards appear in My Computer (Windows operating  
systems) or on the desktop (Mac operating systems) but errors  
occur when writing or reading, check the following:  
Make sure that the memory card is fully inserted into the  
slot.  
Try a different memory card of the same type in the same  
slot. If the different memory card works, the original  
memory card should be replaced.  
Some cards have a read/write security switch. Make sure  
that the security switch is set to Write Enabled.  
Make sure that the amount of data you attempted to store  
has not exceeded the capacity of the card.  
Inspect the ends of the memory cards for dirt or material  
closing a hole. Clean the contacts with a lint-free cloth and  
small amounts of isopropyl alcohol.  
If errors persist, replace the memory card.  
 
 
Troubleshooting  
14  
If no icon appears when a card is inserted into the reader  
(MAC OS X), check the following:  
The card may have been formatted in Windows FAT 32  
format. Using a PC or digital device, reformat the card using  
OS X-compatible FAT or FAT16 format.  
If you get an error message when installing the card reader  
software, check the following:  
Make sure that your card reader is connected to your  
computer.  
Make sure that only one card reader is connected to your  
computer. If other card readers are connected, unplug them  
before installing the software.
