I have a 32gb SDHC card and it works perfectly in a usb card reader (read, write, format...), but my Canon 500d just can't use it, nor format it. Can you help?

how are you doing for trying to get your files?
are you using a card reader ? are you using usb cable to the camera ? the best is the camera directly on usb, if you are able to read them in your cam with no errors... because it can be due to the formatting from the cam...
hope it'll help !
cheers

If your current card reader isn't compatible with SDHC cards then you need to get one that is. While SDHC cards fit into the SD slot, they care electronically incompatible and won't work in devices not designed for them.
Are you sure the SD card is working properly? Try using a card reader and format it on the PC.
Also, make sure the Lock switch is flipped to the "unlocked" state.
It sounds as if you have an SD card reader, not an SDHC card reader. While SDHC cards will fit into SD slots, they are electronically incompatible and will not work. SD devices are limited to cards 2GB and smaller. SDHC cards begin at 4GB and go up to 32GB.
No, it's a hardware issue. Your 8GB card is an SDHC card (the HC stands for High Capacity), but the card reader in your machine is clearly only compatible with the older type SD cards. SDHC devices will accept SD cards, but devices designed solely for SD cards cannot read or format SDHC cards.
There is no firmware update for this, your only fix is to buy an external reader compatible with SDHC cards for connection via a USB socket. Most new readers are fully SDHC compliant, but check the specs for shelling out your hard-earned...
Is it only specific cards that you can't read on it? I am assuming you're trying from the internal card reader. If it will read 2 Gigabyte or less cards, and will NOT read cards with more storage space, it's because SDHC, the format that allows more than 2G on a SD card, is a different format, and most older card readers will not work with SDHC.
You can purchase a SDHC reader that works in the USB port from your local electronics store or Office supply store.
When You Insert your SD card into the internal card reader, then the SD card is not recognised by the system and the SD card drive doesn't show there. The problem can be because of driver issue, system issue and device issue. To fix the problem you need to go at device manager if there is a yelllow sign in SD card controller, the problem is most probably caused by a driver issue. Then you need to update the driver. You can also download the driver for your card reader.
Also, check if your SD Card is broken. You can also check it into different devices port.
If it is detected then you can backup of your data.
If the problem not resolved by any means and you require you SD Card data then I will suggest you read - https://www.stellarinfo.co.in/services/removable-media-recovery.php
If your SD memory card contains more than 1,000 images, the camera will display "Communication Error". Use a card reader (if available) to import your images into the computer, or see about having some CD's made at a photofinishing business.
