New Computer Not Reading SD Card

Posted on by Debra 4 Comments

Hi, as you have read- my computer crashed last month. I must repeat this one important message- remember to take the time to back every single file up to a secure location! Okay now that we have that established…….

Working on this week’s post, I went to download pictures from Thanksgiving and my youngest grand-daughters first birthday party. Since the crash, most of my software programs have been re-installed on the new computer. Previously I downloaded images from my Nikon camera SD card just fine. Well this evening I opened Lightroom ready to import the Sony images. Nothing. I went to the file manager to locate the SD card- not there. This took forever to figure out why my computer was not reading my Sony camera SD card when it could read the Nikon camera SD card.

My computer is hp Pavillion Desktop Windows 10 and the camera with issues- Sony NEX-5N. The following steps listed below fixed my problem with computer not reading my cameras SD card- an update to the card reader driver.

First, I had to locate the device manager.



If you have any computer issues, BestBuy has a service available to assist with scenarios such as this.

PS- The first year birthday images will be in the next post!

Visiting Phoenix

Visiting Phoenix

Hi, I had the time of my life while visiting family in Arizona. This trip was much needed. My Auntie P invited me to come stay with her. She asked me how long I wanted to stay. Hmm…..I was thinking, how long could I stay before my welcome wore out?! 🙂 Hesitantly I requested three full days. My Aunt said okay and the trip was a total of 5 days- day 1 travel, three days in AZ and the fifth day travel home. Her home is best described as a resort- no kidding!

This is the beautiful room where I spent four nights resting peacefully!

And the pool/hot tub was gorgeous.

Phyllis and Jeff kept me busy the whole time. Several times they asked what I wanted to do or see. Just being there, away from my everyday normal life was entertaining. The main souvenir I wanted from this adventure was a sweatshirt and a silver ring. Of course all the many images I took would be a treasure as well.

When I think of this trip, I will remember the quality time I shared with my Aunt Phyllis and Jeff in Phoenix and all the cactus. So many everywhere. I had no idea. I truly had the time of my life- thank you Aunt P!

Many more images here.
