1.3GB of 2GB media card is occupied by 'others' in memory use

I have a 2GB media card and 1.3 GB of which is occupied by this 'others' in memory use. As far as I remember it was around 600 MB when I bought the phone(Curve 9360).I am giving the details of memory use.
Music 40.5 MB
Ringtones 567.5 KB
Pictures 48.9 MB
Videos 209.1 MB
Documents 121.1 MB
Other 1.3 GB
Free 60.3 MB
Any help would be appreciated.

Go to the Media > Explore > Media Card and see what folders you have installed there other than the routine Pictures, Music, Video, etc... for instance I have some third apps which create new folders and store data there (CardStar, flycast, ShowMeTheImages, Themes, Fixmo Screenshots, Databases.
The "other" space is likely occupied by such as that.

HT201209 Can I purchase iTunes gift cards for people in other countries to use?

Can I purchase iTunes gift cards for people in other countries to use? I have a brother that lives in Vietnam and I want to buy him a gift card that he can use there. I've read the iTunes gift cards are country specific.

What you have read is correct; gift cards are country specific. So only if iTunes cards are issued in Vietnam, and if they are if you can find a retailer there that sells such cards and would accept an out-of-country credit card, would you be able to purchase a gift card for your brother. The same would apply to any other country.

Media Card Issue *maybe*

I have a 2GB media card in my bberry curve 8330 and when I'm trying to save some pictures to it it's showing "Directory Full" but when I look at my avail free space it's showing 1.1GB Free. I'm stumped as I can't figure out how to save when it's showing no avail space.

Hi,
I also wanted to know what folders I should see on my phone when I go into Media, Explore, Media Card ? From some of the threads I've been reading they mention that you should see blackberry,documents, music etc right under Media Card but mine is laid out as below
What's on my phone currently is :
Media Card
Folder Blackberry
inside Blackberry Folder is
subfolders documents, music, pictures, ringtones, videos & voicenotes
I've always saved all my pictures, videos etc to folder Media Card only not any subfolders...could that be the reason I got the msg "Directory Full" ?
Tonight I'm going to try uploading all of my stuff onto my home computer, doing a memory card format and then redownloading all of my info into the approp folders on the media card.

BB and Media Card

First I had a 1GB media card and then I tried a 2GB media card to see if it made
a difference but it didn't.From when I first got my blackberry 8330 I had a
media card in it..Well I put music, pictures, videos, and ringtones on the
card..And then when I would go click the pictures to look at it bigger it
wouldn't come up or if I click a song or ringtone, it wouldn't play...I also
learned recently that if the file is on my media card, it wouldn't let me blue
tooth from it..It will do the regular process, then it says like "file transfer
failed"...I know u can do it because my friend has a pearl and she Bluetooths me
files from her media card...I have blue toothed but the file has to be on my
device memory and like all the songs I have are too big to put on my device's
music folder to hold.So please help me and how I can like listen to my music
easier and look at my pictures easier with out turning off my device or turning
my media card off.Also to help me blue tooth easier with out transferring the files to my device first.Please contact me

Tungsten T3 2gb sd card

I have a tungsten t3. I love it. But, I bought a Lexar 2gb sd card (not high capacity), and hoped to use it with my palm. I added media (music, pictures, video, etc) to it using a usb card reader (the card was pre-formatted FAT, not FAT32). when I put it into the palm, I can read the media, listen to music, read ebooks and everything, but I can't delete it, move it, or alter it. When I try to, it gives me an error message 'Move Failed: (ox0502)'. When I tried to format the card using the built in card info app, it doesn't work. I have a 1gb sd card, and it works perfectly.
So my question is this: Does the tungsten t3 support 2gb sd cards? And if it doesn't, would there be a way to split the card in order to have it register as two smaller cards? Any other solutions?
I would greatly appreciate any help.

The maximum card size for your device is 1GB SD or MMC.
Copy and Paste the following link in a browser for the card specs.
http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,kb=PalmSupportKB,CASE=obj(34080),ts=Palm_External2001
Here is a quote from the page regarding higher capacity cards in your device;
Because of the file system used by these models, and those that came before them, larger cards may cause unexpected behavior or not work in these devices.

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.

Curve 8330 and micro SDHC media card?

Does the Curve 8330 support a micro SDHC media card or do I have to only use a micro SD card?
Thanks!
Walt

Hi and welcome to the forums!
A couple of places for you to visit: Blackberry 101 Tips & Tricks
It will support a micro SDHC media card. See these kb articles: Media Card sizes supported by BB OS
Go to options-about (3rd line down will read v4.x.x.xxx - this is your OS version)

BB 8330 media card

Hi. I just got the Blackberry Curve 8330 last week and am still having some problems. My latest is this: i bought a 2 gb media card and installed into phone. Then i transferred about 50 or so songs onto the card. Later I went to transfer more music but got an error message that the files could not be transferred. I looked under options/media card and read: total space 1.8 gb free space 1.4 gb. Talked with verizon wireless and was told to format the card, which i did. repeated everything but same problem. now verizon tells me the media card is bad. i bought a new 2 gb card, formatted, and tried again. same exact thing. once i put 20 % capacity on the card i get this same message. does anyone think it may actually be the phone? or something else? thank you.

Do you have a memory card reader? If so connect the media card to the computer via a memory card reader, and then try to load the music files there Do you get a similar message?

Saved messages to Media Card?

I am trying to free up some memory and would like to move saved messages to my media card. However, I can't seem to figure out how to do it. Currently my media card has pictures saved to it, as well as one song. It has ample space available. Can anyone please explain how to move saved messages to my media card?

You can't unless you use a third party application.
You may be able to when OS 4.5 is released. Not sure on that one.

BB Pearl not Recognizing Media Card

I have a 2GB Kingston MicroSD card installed in my BB. It has been working fine for the past month or so (since I got the phone) and has 4 or 5 pictures and another 5 of 6 ringtones stored on it. Earlier this week, I had been hooking the phone up to the computer using the USB cable and it would prompt me if I wanted to access the media. I would say no and go on from there. Then Wednesday, all of a sudden the BB started no longer recognizing the card. Today, I went into the settings and they are:
Media Card Support - On
Encryption Mode - None
Mass Storage Mode Support - On
Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected - Prompt
A media card is not presently inserted in the device.
I take the media card out and plug it into the computer and it is still showing all the files on there. When I plug the phone into the computer, it is not being recognized by the computer.
Any suggestions?

Hello,
Via the device, not really. Via your computer, absolutely. Your choices are:
Mass Storage Mode:
KB11879 What is mass storage mode
KB13564 How to enable or disable mass storage mode on the BlackBerry smartphone.
KB29523 How to manually transfer files between a BlackBerry smartphone and a Windows computer
With your "old" card in your BB, copy everything to your Computer
Change to your "new" card
Format the "new" card in the BB
Copy everything from the computer back to the "new" card
Using a Card Reader adapter on your computer:
Remove your "old" card from your BB
Use the card reader and copy everything from the old card to your computer
Insert the new card into the BB
Format the new card in the BB
Remove the new card from the BB
Use the card reader and copy everything from the computer to the new card
Put the new card back into the BB
Good luck!

Newbie Qs: how do you check what's stored in media card?

Besides, taking it out and checking it on PC, is there a way to do this through BB?
I just put 2GB card in and it's already 1.8 GB full.
I can account for 0.5GB with pics and songs but like to know and monitor its content.
Verizon 8330 with 4.3 software.
Thanks!

Go to Solution.

Hi and welcome to the forums,
on 4,3 you can out a 4 or 8gb media card so you are okay there.
DID you notice that instead of a full 2gb, the actual was about 1.8 due to formatting info.
Check the following options:
Media Card window
ON
Encryption
NONE
Mass storage support
ON
auto enable when connected
YES
On your media card do you have these folders:
Blackberry
pictures
music
ringtones
videos
voicenotes
This is the folder structure that the Blackberry needs to allocate the media to.
Do you have these folders on your media card?
Please let me know!

New Media Card question

Hi all,
This may sound stupid to some but here goes: I just upgraded to the 8900 from the 8100 and i want to get a larger capacity media card, like 8gb. I currently have 2gb. I was wondering how i transfer the content from one card to another? Do i have to use the desktop manager or is their another way? Instructions would be helpful as i am not very knowledgeable when using media cards.
Thanks in advance for the help
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The simplest method would be to enable "Mass Storage" on both devices, plug them both to your PC USB, and then simply drag and drop the files from the old device to the new.
What I would recommend, would be to do the above, but move the old Media Card files to your PC first, and you'll have them there as a backup if needed--then move them to the new media card.
