My computer does not recognize my SD 2GB SD Flash Card which I insert into my camera and take pictures. I have a slot on my computer for SD cards. Can I just put the card in the slot and access the pictures without a usb reader?

You didn't say what software you are using, but there are better ways to download your photos. The best way is to connect your SD flash memory card to the computer. If your computer has a SD card slot you are in luck. If not, you can buy a USB SD reader for under $20 on line or in any computer store.

To use it, remove the SD card from your camera and insert it in the reader. Your computer will automatically recognize the SD card as an external memory device; exactly as it does with an external hard drive. You can then open the SD card and access the folder with your pictures. All you need to do is copy and paste your photos from the SD card to a new folder on your computer. It's that simple. Almost all professional photographers use this method and do not transfer pictures from the camera with the SD card in the camera.

On the contrary. The EX1011 is designed to work with SD cards. Your 4GB card is actually an SDHC card. While it fits into the slot, it is electronically incompatible and the frame will not recognize it as a memory card. You need to use SD cards, 2GB and smaller.

Insert the SD into the slot and restart ur pc.
If it is still not recognized, right click on my computer icon on your desktop and select "MANAGE"
Click on "DISK MANAGEMENT" in the left panel.

Right click on your removable device and select format. Use any of the methods. Quick or......

If this is an SDHC card, you need an SDHC capable reader.

In this instance, you might want to consider either borrowing, or, purchasing and card sd reader. Some computers just don't read these cards from their built-in slots, so, using an sd card reader often fixes the problem.


Hope this helps. :)

face up. gently push till it clicks. it should only fit in the slot one way. (make sure the slot is the same width as the card. Do not use the Larger slots. Typically you insert (gold) contacts down, and in first. to remove, push till you feel click, then pull. Be aware that some new micro SD cards have formats that older,( 2 years ago) laptops will not recognize. I think they are marked HD. or HC. Cards. Most of my devices Wont recognize this new format. Camera included. Cheers

If you have an sd slot in your computer you can plug the card into sd slot start/computer/right click removable hard drive disk for sd card format

The DX6490 accepts SD cards, which top out at 2GB. Cards bigger than that are technically SDHC cards. While SDHC cards will fit into SD slots, they will not work. SD cards will work in SDHC devices, though. So, you're limited to 2GB.

It's a hardware thing, which no amount of firmware updating can change.

The PIC or EEPROM inside these cards may not be working. I guess you best bet is to buy a new one try Kingston brand or go with another Sandisk.
