When I try to write to a Memory Stick card, an error message appears.
Make sure the Memor y Stick lock tab is not in the lock position (see the illustration on
page 22
). When this tab is in the lock position, the card is locked and therefore write-
protected. You cannot write to or delete from the card until you move the tab to the
unlocked position.
When I try to write to a SmartMedia card, an error message appears.
Make sure the card’s write protection sticker is not covering the write protect area (see
illustration on
page 19
). You cannot write to or delete from the card until you remove the
sticker.
When I try to write to a Secure Digital card an error message appears.
Make sure the write protect switch is not in the locked position (see the illustration on
page 21)
. You cannot write to or delete from the card until you move the write protect
switch to the unlocked position.
Is my Digital Reader/Writer compatible with Mac OS X?
All four Digital Media HS Reader/Writers are fully compatible with the latest releases of
Mac OS X (versions 10.0.4 and greater). If you are running a version of Mac OS X prior to
10.0.4, you must upgrade to the latest Mac OS release.
I connected my card reader/writer to my Macintosh running Mac OS 9.x. Each time I
insert a media card, I see the message:
This disk is unreadable by this computer. Do you
want to initialize the disk?
My only options are to
initialize
, or
eject
.
This error may appear if your File Exchange control panel is disabled in Mac OS 9.x.
Click
eject
so you do not format the media. To enable File Exchange, follow these steps:
1.
Click on the Apple icon and select
Control Panels
from the Apple Menu.
2.
Select
Extensions Manager
from the Control Panels drop-down menu.
3.
Scroll to the top of the Extensions Manager window and be sure you’re looking at the
Control Panel section of Extensions Manager.
4.
Click in the small square box at the left side of the File Exchange listing.
This places an
X
in the box and enables the Control Panel.
5.
Restart your Macintosh by clicking the
Restart
button located at the bottom of the
Extensions Manager window.
