My card reader isn't reading this compact flash card...anyone know what may cause this? Would it be a speed compatibility issue?

I use a no name card reader no problem. You may need to buy a new card reader.

I don't know the specifics of your situation, but in past I had to upgrade my card reader when I bought a new type of CF memory card. This card is listed as UDMA 7, and an older card reader may not be able to handle that standard.

If your card reader is able to read your other CF cards and you're able to transfer files directly via the USB cable, it would appear that your card reader is having compatibility issues with the UDMA7 or is faulty.

I had to upgrade my card reader to one that stated that it supported UDMA 7 cards to utilize the full transfer speed of this card. The cheap 50 in 1 type card readers I had wouldn't recognize the card at all. A better quality, but much older and slower (USB 1.1) dedicated compact flash card reader that I had in the back of a drawer read the card just fine. It took hours to transfer the data, though. A new card reader that specifically stated it supported UDMA 7 read the card with no problem and transferred the data much closer to the advertised speeds.

Your question made me nervous, so I got the card out and put it in my office p.c. It was not recognized and would not open. Guess I'm going to join the 45 and not even give it a 1. I'll have to see if I can change my recommendation. Glad you brought it up before I downloaded more photos.

Nope. You have to pay for that as well, around $35. I would go with a different card reader. I ended up buying something else after I couldn't get this one to work.

I have not had a problem like. Mine work fine. Could it be a defective card?

Make sure that the card is formatted correctly. Depending on the operating system of your computer you can insert the card into your computer and either erase all of the files or reformat the card. I bought the same card and did not have that problem. Let me know if you need further help.

Get yourself an sd/mmc card reader. Remove the card from your MiCorder, place it into the reader and place the reader into the usb port. Also, with the cord that came with the MiCorder, plug that into the MiCorder and the other into the computer's usb port. Both options worked fine for me. Good Luck!

I'm using a 2GB SD card with no problems. I've also used XD and CF cards without a problem.

I have no idea but you can try to format the card again, this may solve the problem. If not, I'll suggest to return it.

Mine works perfectly since switching to a faster SANDISK card. When I used other (cheaper) grades of not so FAST memory cards, I experienced problems such as missing recordings during a stretch of driving. All went away with the SANDISK Ultra line of memory cards.

Did you try doing a format? It could be it can't read your card until you format it for the camera.

Haven't heard of this before. I use a 3rd party reader and haven't had any problems, been using it with my 1000x 32gb as well as 800x 32gb.

How did you get a CF Card into a USB Port? If you used an adapter then the problem might be with that. With CF cards don't you need a CF Card Reader? I have a couple of SanDisk 8GB USB's and they seem to work well with the UNITEK 3 Port USB hub.

G. Powers,That is possible. Have you tried any other cards? I have not had any issues at all with this reader. If not try connecting the device directly to the computer, good luck my friend.

If you are going to use a different USB adapter / card reader, it must be SDHC compatible or it will not recognize the card. I have an older adapter that is not SDHC compliant and it will only read up to a 2GB card.

It's a CF or Compact Flash card, not an SD card. Memory cards are so inexpensive these days it doesn't really matter. Card readers are cheap too.
