Won't read sd card - says card not suppoorted

Your hp photosmart m417 can use a secure digital (sd) memory card or a multimedia memory card (mmc), per manufacturer specifications.
Probably obtainable from local camera stores, computer stores, or via Ebay.

the camera has internal memory and also will have the option for external memory. If you have a sd memory card in the camera you can backup the internal memory to the sd card.
Then you can remove the sd card and put in a new sd card and you now have an sd card with your precious photo memory's copied from the camera internal memory. You may have a camera that allows two sd cards one for the photos and one to back up the photos. If you had your camera stolen or lost you would lose all the photos on the camera but with a backup sd card you still have the photo files. Also a p.c with a card reader device could read the files on the sd card and you could copy them into a cloud storage on the net or onto a network storage device or onto a usb portable drive with 2 terrabyte capacity .

Your camera has 16 MB of internal storage and will accept up to 516 MB of external storage. It will not accept anything greater than an 516 MB card. 8GB is too large and the camera will not recognize it.
Buy a 516MB or smaller card and try it, they are very inexpensive.

Hello - You're camera has a little less than 10 MB of memory with sounds exactly right (2-3 photos) with a 12 megapixel camera. Such images are large.
You need to purchase a memory card to insert into your camera to store pictures. Your camera takes several kinds of memory cards but I suggest your purchase a SD memory card of two GB in size. You can get them almost anywhere, Super Markets, Chain Drug Stores, Places like Walmart, Kmart, etc. It'll cost about $15 or so.
Happy Photo Snapping, Mikeywaf

switch to a sd card of less than 2gb as your camera's internal image processor power is being used in running or reading the huge 2gb sd card ...and that is the reason the image izz getting white ...try for 1gb or less ..

did you check your SD card to see if a different reader sees if and you can read wirte to ir tey tio reformat it just for general purpose/

1) Have you formatted the cards?

2) Try the cards in the card reader in your computer to see if they can be read.

3) Try the "switch off camera - remove and replace battery - switch on camera" trick with the original 128 Mb card in place. This will reset the camera's memory.

4) Note the type of card is important - not all cards can be used in a camera (especially some of the latest bigger ones) - check the type of cards supported by your camera.

I found this at the Nikon USA site (note that the 2 GB card is not listed - as said "Cards are not all the same" and use different drivers to operate them):

Question Which Secure Digital Cards are approved for use in the Coolpix 4600/5600? Answer The Nikon Quality Department has tested the following cards and approved their use in the Coolpix 4600/5600:

SD memory cards:
SanDisk 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, 256 MB*, 512 MB, 512MB*, 1 GB
Panasonic 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB*, 512 MB*,1 GB
Toshiba 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, 128 MB*, 256 MB, 256 MB*, 512 MB

*High speed type of 10 MB/s or over

Other brands and capacities of cards may work, but Nikon cannot guarantee their operation. Check with the manufacturer of the third-
party card for compatibility information. Nikon recommends keeping one of the approved cards available for troubleshooting.

there is only a 16 MB internal memory built into the camera, which at 5 Million pixels will allow you 1 or 2 photos, so you will have to by an SD type card, i would suggest either a 512MB card or 1GB if you are taking pictures at the highest resolution.

These figures are for jpegs, right? Because of the nature of compression in jpegs, your camera can't know how many pictures it will be able to hold. If you fill the memory with photos of the inside of the lens cap in a dark room at night, you will be able to take far more shots than if you shoot at an outdoor market with lots of different shapes and colors. The specs, which are used to market the camera, will have a number on the high end. The camera, which has to allow for many different possible file sizes, will have a lower number. Try using the camera until it's full. You may end up with about 125 shots. On my Canon 10D, with an empty 1GB card, says I have 162 shots left. I consistently fit over 180 on it.
