peter t Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I have used for the first time a 32GB Lexar Professional 800x Compact Flash card in a D700 and get a message saying 'computer does not recognise this card' when using a Lexar card reader to transfer the images to an iMac. I prefer this method, than to loading directly from the camera. It would be appreciated if anyone could advise how to overcome this problem. Many thanks in anticipation.

John Allison J Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Apologies for stating the obvious but sometimes it's just a case of ejecting the card and trying again +/- rebooting. I've found this from time to time using a lexar reader. Perhaps you've already done this Regards john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Coombs Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I use 16GB Sandisk cards and transfer by slotting the card into the SD slot on the side of my iMac. Every now and again the iMac doesn't "see" it, or recognise it. Taking it out and putting it back in again seems to do the trick. Sometimes I have to close any open folders before the card shows up on the desk top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Unlike most folks I use the Nikon cable to do my transfers. Never had any trouble doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kebabselector Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Have you tried a different card reader? Some of my newer SD cards can't be read on a reader I bought 4 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kilpatrick Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 The original Lexar card readers had a 4GB limit (even the FW400 model). The new ones should work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter t Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 The original Lexar card readers had a 4GB limit (even the FW400 model). The new ones should work fine. The Lexar card reader is only a month old and is the latest model. I have tried several more attempts and get the same message on the screen. Tried on another iMac I have at home, exactly the same result! Thanks for all of your responses, peter t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dov makabaw Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I am a bit of a Philistine and upload direct from the camera now. Never have a problem. Have tried using my Fuji card reader but frequently have problems. dov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Thompson Images Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Peter, Probably nothing to do with your problem; but are you making sure you use your camera to format the card? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoDogue Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Have you contacted Lexar Support? Maybe they have a quick and easy solution or will send you a replacement. http://www.lexar.com/support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
