SD is approximately 1/2 the speed of CF, but the benefit is that SD uses almost 1/2 the power consumption of a CF card. Additionally, it leaves the CF slot available for different I/O cards.

My MacBook Pro OS X 10.9.1 won't read my Lexar Professional 800x 8 GB Compact Flash UDMA 7.

You can try using a file recovery software like Bad Copy Pro 4.10.125. It works well for me.

My card reader is gone after I remove my sd cards I have used difrent cards and it makes no diference

When you remove your sd cards in the new windows 7 update, the card reader removes itself from the list of connected devices on the computer. I have a windows 7 ;laptop with an sd card reader in it and it does the same thing. if it is still reading the cards with no problem, there is nothing to be worried about. it is like hooking up a flash drive to your computer, then it dissapears after you disconnect it. Still use the safely remove function on the windows pc. It helps keep the cards healthy so to speak.

I have an EOS Canon 400D digital SLR and my husband has bought me a Sony photo printer DDP-FP75 . I had wanted to be able to insert the memory card but it doesn't seem compatible. Can I print using the...

The two are not immediately compatible. The Canon EOS 400D uses a Compact Flash card. The Sony Photo Printer you have accepts SD and Memory Stick cards. Unfortunately, the CF card and SD card are very different.

The easiest solution I can think of would be for you to get an inexpensive card reader (make sure it accepts Compact Flash cards), attach it to your PC and then use it to read the CF card from your Canon EOS -- and print to your Sony printer.

I hope this helps. If it does, please rate the solution offered. My goal is always FixYa or Helpful, never TFT or IA. Regards,

Wat is toshiba flash card

"FLASH" generally denotes a compact storage device called
Compact Flash Card. I have an old digital camera that takes compact flash cards.

Newer Toshiba Laptops and Towers have multi card readers installed, my laptop has a SD card reader under my PCMCIA card slot. I also had a (Made for Toshiba) compact flash adapter. That device was nice because it wasn't "Card Bus" it used 8-16 bit technology making it easy to transfer data from a laptop running windows 3.1 to a laptop running Vista
