9800 Freezes with Media Card

Hello, my 9800 has started freezing up when my 16gb media card is inserted. It's almost all music, about 15gb worth. I have re-formatted the card and re-installed the music, same result. Any ideas? It was working fine. My songs are all mp3 or m4a. I can't associate it with adding any particular file either. Appreicate any help. .9800 wtih version 6.0, bundle 695. AT&T carrier.

A media card full of songs and pictures will take a long time to generate the thumbnails and song playlist, possibly making it slow up first use.
mine took a few hours to sync all the files up again

Sync freeze with SD card installed

Hi,
I find I am unable to sync media when an SD card is installed in my Bold 9900. When I attempt to sync music, the process freezes at 'Processing.' When I remove the SD card, the phone syncs as normal. Media card is enabled. What do I do to fix this?
Thanks!

As this is a peer support forum there is not much anyone here can do. If you tried two cards with the same issue I'd suggest either handing the phone in to a Nokia Care point or if available have it shipped to a Nokia Repair facility. I'd suggest you try the 'Contact us' link on the bottom of this page.

Desktop 6 software won't work with media card, but phone works with card just fine.

Pearl 8110
media card transcend 8G HC
using latest software update for desktop and phone.
Vista business
Since upgrading to desktop 6 several months ago I can't upload media to my phone. Windows does not recognize the media card as another drive.
I can take pictures, record video and voice using the phone, and send that via bluetooth to my vista computer, but not by usb.
However when trying to transfer media to my phone via usb I get an error message says I need to turn on mass storage mode (yes it's always on) but the error message just keeps repeating when I try to transfer anything to the media card via usb. Can't transfer via bluetooth windows says I need some type of software that I can't find.
I uninstalled version 6 and reloaded the last working version 5 and the roxio media manager and that didn't work either.
I see this as being a blackberry software problem, uless someone has another idea. I've posed in other forums with no help comming.
What do I do?

Hi midnightvisions,
Have you tried reinserting the media card and battery?
Can you please clarify something? Are you currently able or unable to transfer these files via Bluetooth?
If you are able to, you may want to transfer these files to your PC via Bluetooth and format the media card and test again. http://bit.ly/f8fCQ8 If this does not resolve the issue or you are unable to transfer them via Bluetooth, try doing a clean uninstall of the BlackBerry Desktop Software then reinstall and test again. http://bit.ly/bvuRJU

8110 shutting off, dropping calls, restarting with "media card removed" error message

we have a brand new AT&T red pearl 8110, OS v4.5. We have not loaded any applications on the phone, and we do not have a media card installed. Several times now the phone just shuts off, then restarts itself. this even happens during the middle of a phone call. It is my wifes phone so i cannot give any more specifics, but she says she has noted now that it says something like "media card removed" right before it shuts off, then the white screen comes with the hourglass of death, then it verifies security settings and is back to "normal". Any ideas? I am within the 30 day window ot return, but figure this must be a fixable problem (or am hoping so). Thanks!

My BB pearl started by doing the same thing. For the past month or so it has randomly been doing this. Today it has been shutting down then rebooting and 10 seconds after it reboots it does it again. I had to call T mobile and they are sending out a replacement. I cant even retrieve my contacts.

Problem with media card

there is some kind of problem with my media card. it is not showing any files on the card. though the space is showing that the files are still there on the card and even when i connect it to the pc it shows the files are there on the card but i cant read any of the files. please help. cant loose the data on my card

Try copying the files on your SD card to a folder on your computer, reinsert the SD card into your BB and proceed to format the card.
To format the card go to Options > Advanced Options > Memory Card. Press the menu button and select Format Card.
Plug your phone into the computer again via USB, making sure your device is set to be used as a Mass Storage device. Go to "My Computer" and open your device. Copy the files from your computer back to your Blackberry. Unplug your phone from the computer and see if you are able to open the files.
Disclaimer: I'm just a regular user like the rest of you. I have spent a lot of time learning the limitations of the Blackberries to know how to fix most problems. If I have suggested a fix, please give a kudo and mark as a solution!

Problema with media card

When using the blackberry desktop I can not use the media card. It says to turn mass storage on and it still doesnt recognize it. What else can I try? And I am new to this, it is my first blackberry.

Hello chrisclevenger and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Can you provide some more back ground information about your environment:
1) What BlackBerry device are you using
2) What is your device software version listed under Options>About
3) What version of the BlackBerry Desktop Manager are you using?
4) Are you using Windows or Mac? If Windows, is it XP, Vista, 7?
Thanks!

When did imac ship with media card slot?

it's pretty stupid that i just noticed but my imac doesn't have sd card slot. i wouldn't even have noticed but read something today that apple started shipping in september. is this true? recommendations for good quality external reader? i purchased the imac in december of 2009.
Message was edited by: Robert Wilkins2

The SD readers are built in when the iMacs were updated with 21.5" or 27" displays.
As for a card reader, there pretty simple devices, I bought a cheap USB one off eBay for about £1, it works fine. Quite compact as it's not a box but looks similar to a chunky USB memory stick which you slide your SD card into the end of.

Media card storage can not be accessed due to fatal errors

today, my memory card was fine, then a couple of hours ago, my memory card came up with media card storage can not be accessed due to fatal errors, i have a curve 9300, how do i fix it? :s

Hey anjanetteroland,
Welcome to the forums.
If you try a new media card in your device do you get the same error? Sounds like the media card is damaged.

I need help with my Blackberry Torch 9800 media card....

I've had my Blackberry Torch 9800 for almost a year now and I haven't faced a problem like this one before, One day, Out of nowhere, My blackberry started acting up, the lock button wouldn't work, the touch screen and keypad wouldn't work, I wasn't able to access anything. Then the batteries drained out all of a sudden, so I went home and charged it and I thought that there was something wrong with the battery, but then when it turned on again, it had erased all my media! All my photos, videos and music, and every time I finish charging my phone a prompt would pop up and say that my media card isn't formatted! So I wanted to know if there's anyway to fix this?! The bigger problem is that the rest of my data was on my laptop and it's hard disk crashed.....So now I have nowhere to go to to retrieve my files Is there any solution to this? It's really doing my head in! Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
While rare, spontaneous wiping and rebooting do happen on BBs. You, sadly, are the very unlucky one to also have your backups on your laptop wiped out by it's failure. Very bad luck indeed...hopefully you were backing up your laptop somewhere.
As with all restores, there must be a source...your BB will never be that source as it has no "deleted items" nor "recycle bin" from which to do so. Rather, an external backup source is required. Given your laptop situation, the only other source I can think of is if you had activated the FREE (with a proper BIS plan) BB Protect, and had been backing up your data "to the cloud"...if so, then that will be an available source for restore.
Sadly, if you have no source from which to restore, then that's the end of that hope...
In any event -- first, we need to make sure that you BB is actually OK...and that will require some work on your part. Here's what I recommend...
At the top of each device forum, there should be some "sticky" threads that discuss the OS levels available for many models. If they include your model, then please use those as reference as you proceed. Otherwise, you will have to dig through the official download portal for OS packages for your model:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
You may also want to try this procedure to perhaps narrow down the precise causal item:
Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:
KB19915How to perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software
Good luck and let us know!

Problem with storing pictures to the Media Card

I set my 8330 to store pictures to the media card. It works for a while and then the device reverts to storing it on the device memory. It does this without asking or telling me that it's done so. It's very frustrating. Anybody have any idea why it would do this?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
That's a very odd situation. Can you tell us, when this happens, does your BB "see" the media card at all? For instance, if when you notice this, can you do Media > Explore and get to the media card still?
Another thing to check is your device OS version -- perhaps there is an update from your carrier that has fixes that would be useful...you can check your carrier via this portal:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
If your device OS is current, then you might want to try a different media card...perhaps there is something amiss with the one you have.
Also, how to do you go about recovering and getting it to again store on the media card?
Thanks!

Problem with OS 10.2.0.424 and Media Card Encryption

Several weeks ago I upgraded to OS 10.2.0.424. Everything went fine, no problems. My phone worked perfectly.
Then over one week later I turned my phone on in the morning and after it had booted it said "your media card was encrypted on a different device. You will need to reformat your media card on this device before you can use it".
Now, the following should be noted very carefully: THE MEDIA CARD WAS BOUGHT SPECIFICALLY FOR MY Z10, IT WAS FORMATTED IN THE SAME HANDSET, ENCRYPTED IN THE SAME HANDSET AND HAS ***NEVER*** BEEN OUT OF THE HANDSET.
As far as I am concerned, this is a fault with the upgrade. Having looked on Crackberry.com I see many other users having a similar problem. I am fortunate in that I do weekly backups of my handset including the media card. However I am reluctant to use my media card again in case this problem recurs.
I tried contacting Blackberry help on Twitter however I can only assume that the Blackberry Twitter team are sub-contractors who don't work for BT as their advice was along the lines of "have you tried rebooting? You have? Oh well, you'll need to speak to your mobile provider as there's nothing we can do."
Please, Blackberry, can you acknowledge this fault and advise what your timescale is for resolution?
A dissatisfied loyal Blackberry customer.

If the user removes the media card from the BlackBerry device and places it in a new BlackBerry device, the new BlackBerry device cannot decrypt any files that the first BlackBerry device encrypted on the media card using a randomly generated device key. If the first BlackBerry device encrypted the files on the media card using the BlackBerry device password, when the user removes the media card from the BlackBerry device and places it in a new BlackBerry device, the new BlackBerry device prompts the user for the password used on the first BlackBerry device to access the files on the new device.
The above is from BlackBerry:
I can only assume that Upgrading is like changing Devices, so before Upgrading save all data.
Someone else with more knowledge about encryption and seeing this post may respond.

Can I replace an ATI RADEON 9800 PRO-(256MB)-MAC EDITION with Mac ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb Video Card For G4/G5

Hi,
I am trying to help a friend whose graphics card has bust.
The old one was an ATI RADEON 9800 PRO-(256MB)-MAC EDITION.
I've been looking on ebay and it seems a lot cheaper to get a Mac ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb Video Card For G4/G5.
Can I just swap them over? The connectors are not identical according to the photographs.
Thanks.

I'd like to thank everyone for all the really useful information in this thread. It helped me solve a similar problem, which I'll describe here briefly in case it helps someone else.
I have a 2004/5 dual 2 Ghz PowerPC G5 and an Apple Cinema HD display linked, as I later found out, with the now defunct ADC connector. The display suddenly started to look like that scene in The Matrix, when code falls like rain down the screen, and I worked out I needed to replace my Radeon 9800 pro video card (I discovered the board was blue when I removed a thick layer of dust).
I took japamac's excellent advice and bought a Geforce 6800 Ultra from the linked eBay seller in Hong Kong, who delivered it extremely quickly, along with the cables to plug it into the DVD drive power source and a CD with installation instructions. It was only then that I realised the card had two DVI connectors and my display needed ADC (I hadn't understood the difference).
eBay came to the rescue again with a seller who had a secondhand DVI to ADC adapter, which Apple produced when it phased out ADC about six years ago but no longer sells. It has its own power supply and looks like a large version of the Mac laptop power cables - and has added signifcantly to the pile of spaghetti under my desk.
Installing the Geforce 6800 Ultra is fiddly, and a bit scary if you're not used to delving into the insides of a Mac, but the instructions were clear and illustrated with useful photos. The video cable has four connectors. Two fit into the end of the card, the other two (linked in a Y shape) form a bridge between the DVD/superdrive and its power cable. You have to remove the DVD drive, unplug it, and then plug one of the two Y video card connectors into the DVD power cable and the other into the DVD drive itself. Then you replace the DVD drive, plug the two remaining cable connectors to the video card and ease it into the old card's AGP slot.
Finally, with the G5 reassembled, plug the adapter's DVI connection into the back of the card, plug the Cinema Display ADC cable into the adapter block, plug the adapter's USB cable into the G5 (this enables the the USB ports on the back of the display to work), and power up.
At the time of writing, the display has been up and running for a couple of hours and all seems fine.
Thanks again everyone for all your help and advice. If it wasn't for communities like this, it would be virtually impossible to solve problems with old but still serviceable Macs.

Working with only specific AVCHD clips from a large media card?

I have a 64GB SDHC card with lots of AVCHD clips on them. I brought some into Premiere CS6 through the Media Browser to edit together, though I'm not sure what I want to do with them long term. Since they all reside on the card within the folder structure.
1. What is the best way to just copy specific files from the media card so I can work on them more later without having to copy over the entire 50-64GB folder of all the AVCHD files?
2. Is there a way to bring just the clips that I want to work with in CS6, convert them over into another format (lossless) so I can just use those clips again later?
Thanks.

Sometime you just got to try stuff.
ITs NLE (non destuctive) and you wont break it.
Spanned AVCHD clips are of a duration and file size that a single long continuous take may require two or more files to record. The AVCD folder structure has "bits" in it that facilitates this.
MOS = without sound. Therefore the video does not need to link to any other part of the AVCHD Folder Structure

X200 with 3-1 Media Card Reader w/o modem available?

Hello
Is it possible to configure an x200 wtih the 3-1 Media Card Reader w/o Modem instead of the 5-1 Media Card Reader w/ Modem. Their is only one option for the x200 ( 5-1), however for the x200s the option for either one is available. So if call lenovo would I be able to get the 3-1 instead?
Note from Moderator: Added more descriptive subject.
Message Edited by nonny on 12-19-2008 08:14 PM

I am confused by this as well. I don't quite understand why it gives you the option of 3-1 without modem or 5-1 with modem. You would think the less capable card reader would go with the modem... The price was the same either way on the x200 so I just did 5-1 with modem. Still a bit unclear on Lenovo's part if you ask me.

i have an imac g4 purchased Dec 2003 runnung OS 10.5.8. It runs fine with airport off, but when I turn airport on it freezes with the black page, "restart by holding power key . . ." I swapped the airport extreme card with the one in my ibook G4 (purchased same date and running same OS). No change in operation.
I am running wifi from verizon. Recently changed from mifi2200 to jetpak 4620 in a 3G location. Ibook running fine, desktop freezes. If I can boot desktop in safe mode and get airport turned off in time. then I can reboot regularly and imac runs flawlessly with no wireless.Have run disk utilities and TechTool Pro rebuild etc, but nothing has worked. How do I fine the culprit?

the power logix thing was really sad. apple changed so much after 10.4.8 that there wasn't a viable way to patch the software.
That statement is precisely why I don't believe in blindly updating the OS, especially in a non-standard machine.
We can't expect third parties to support us forever, and it is shameful to break something that works fine, except that we updated the OS....
I think that any upgrade or modification to a machine or the OS greatly increases the risk of trouble or incompatibility with current configuration and "new" system files.
After all, the component or software could only be tested as far as the current OS version when the component or software was released.
Beyond that, we are all "beta testing".
Following a beta tester protocol, and applying updates to a cloned system drive first, is a prudent way to approach updates, and not only for older, heavily modified machines.
After 10.4.8 and moreso with Leopard, the focus is primarily on Intel architecture, not PPC architecture.
Like it or not, we are all updating to the abyss of the extinction of our machines, unless we can be satisfied with the last stable version of OS that works well with our hardware and software.
I wish they would include the latest pkgs at least with software update.
Yes, having individual packages, rather than lump "OS X 10.x.x" updates would be nice.
This way, one could update as one sees fit. That is to say, for example, fix the Quicktime, but leave my Network alone, etc., etc.
In all fairness, Apple does provide for some breakdown of updates, but I believe there is much room for improvement, especially, as you point out, with regard to the core services portion of the OS.
Until then, I'll leave Software Update disabled.......
