6233 memory card disappeared!

Can anyone advise me please?
I have recently used my scandisk 1GB mini SD card to take some photographs on my regular digital camera using the adapter.
However, I have just re-inserted the mini SD back into my Nokia 6233 and it's disappeared! I can't find it anywhere!
The card is not faulty because when I insert it into my PC, my data is still on there. It's just my phone isn't reading it!
I've tried restoring the factory settings but it hasn't worked.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks

Hey. I just tried reformatting the card on my PC but it still hasn't worked!
Any other clues? Or do you think it's ANOTHER problem my phone has developed? I've had so many problems with this model. It's my third handset from 02 already so it wouldn't surprise me if it's a phone problem.
This only happened when I used it in my digital camera and now my mobile just isn't recognising it anymore. Its not even listed but it works fine on the PC.Message Edited by cez2007 on 05-Sep-200707:29 PM

6233 Memory card

I have just bought a Nokia 6233 on the Orange network. It came with a memory card which seemed to work fine for the first 12 hours. Now it seems to have disappeared completely from the phone and so have all the files on it. Am baffled as to what has happened to it. Have taken it out and put it back in, switched phone off, taken battery out........nothing works. I have a fair bit of music waiting to bluetooth to my new phone so really need some help in identifying and fixing the problem

Try restoring the phone back to factory settings first.
Menu > settings > restore factory settings. you'll be asked for your security code. enter 12345 if you have not changed it from the default code.
If that don't fix it, then a trip to a Nokia service point is in order.
Peace Out

Hidden MP3 files on memory card

Up until last week I was able to merrily sync my songs onto my Storm's memory card using Windows Media Player, then all of a sudden all the songs on the memory card disappeared from the Storm's media player and I could only see the songs on the phones onboard memory. However, you can see and play the files by exploring through the file system on the Storm and choosing the "show hidden" option in the folders. As these files cant be viewed through the Storm's media player, the media experience becomes very poor. Now, I noticed that if I sync the songs to the Storm using Windows Media Player AND choosing NOT to create a file hierarchy on the Storm's memory card, the songs appear correctly in the Storm's media player, with the disadvantage that the memory card becomes a bit cluttered because tracks arent sorted into folders as I have chosen not to use a file hierarchy when syncing.
Now, I have tried the usual tricks to sort the usual media problem out e.g. battery pulls, quickpull, deleting the bbthumbs files to force indexation (no reindexation takes place for me now!!!), and formatting the memory card and then saving the music again, but none of this works.
Any assistance would be helpful-clearly something has changed in my device software but I cant identify what it is, since I was able to use this so easily jsut last week without these problems.
If RIM is ever threatened by bankruptcy, the government should bail it out like a Wall Street bank....

I may be able to help. I had the same issue. I connected my bb to my pc, in my computer I opened the "Media card". On the card is the "blackberry" folder which is giving all the trouble, open this folder and cut all the subfolders, click "back", and paste directly onto the media card. So the "music" and "picture" folders etc... are now no longer sub-folders of the "blackberry" folder, they are in the same folder as the "blackberry" folder and the "private" and "tmp" folders. This seems to have cured the problem of the hidden files. It is the actual "blackberry" folder that is the problem, not its sub-folders and files...
I dont know how the blackberry will respond to this but it may keep trying to use the blackberry folder for any new media...

6233 unable to format memory card

Hi.
My little brother has this phone and I gave him a 2 GB Transcend card for the phone. When we insert the new card we are not able to format it. The option for formatting (located under gallery->options) is disabled on the menu and it says you can only read the memory card. The card does not accept any file transfers without formatting it. The old Nokia 64 MB card works just fine.
Is there a way around this? Firmware version is 5.10.
Thanks for any and all help!

That's weird because it is clearly stated here that the 6233 supports 2gb cards
Firstly: You can try putting the card in a card reader and use a PC to format it then put it in the phone and see how it behaves
If this doesn't work check if the writing on the card says 2GB SD or if it says 2GB SDHC
Some say this is the same thing, I believe it isn't.
Reason being that 2gb is the highest capacity SD card and the lowest capacity SDHC.
It's possible that if your hardware is not compatible with SDHC it might not be able to read the card.
Might not be completely true but it's definitely worth looking at

Why won't one of my clips from my memory card import properly? It shows up but when I eject it, it disappears!!

ALL but ONE of my clips imported fine from the memopry card. The one specific clip that I am having trouble with appears in the timeline, but when the memory card is ejected, the footage is missing. So I tried to export the project with the memory card in and the share options won't even highlight!! I can't click them! Someone please help

Copy the card to you Mac. Then import from the copied file.

N-73- Memory card SMS disappeared.

Hi All,
While opening an sms, my phone hang.
I restarted the phone , and it took a long while to restart - longer than usual.
After it restarted, I realised all my sms are gone, all 2500 of them.
I normally store them in my memory card.
How can i possibly retrieve my sms? pls help, I need some data from them.
Thanks .....

Are you sure the message storage is set to memory card itself? Sometimes, after a hang-up, the message storage location defaults to phone memory.
If that's correctly set, then make sure your memory card is working fine. If there's a corruption, then you might not be able to get back the messages stored there.
As a general tip, it's better to use the phone memory to store texts rather than using the memory card. The latter makes the phone slower and it takes too long to open and send texts. Switch to memory card only when you receive some heavy file thru bluetooth or IR.

Files missing after memory card switch

I recently bought a new memory card, and it seems that a number of files that came installed on my Nokia E52 have disappeared. Can anyone tell me how I can get them again? They are:
1. The "Grey" personal and business themes
2. The OEM version of Advanced Call Manager
I have tried copying various files backfrom the old memory card, but with no luck. The reason I was unable to make a proper backup is there is no backup function in the application for Mac as there is with PC Suite for Windows.
Thanks.

I've gotten two memory cards 2GB then 8GB and the same thing happened. Also, the backup in 'PC Suite' mode misses some files. So what I did was connect my phone in 'Data Transfer' (USB connection) and physically copy those files that I wanted to my pc then back to the new memory card. Should sort out most of your troubles.
Symbian connected me to the world, to my dreams.. Thank-you Nokia

E72 - Cant view photos on memory card

Hey,
Any photos or backgrounds I put on my memory card are not viewable in the image gallery and If I move a image from the phone memory to my memory card in the image gallery It just disappears. I tested the memory card in another phone and it works fine. What am I doing wrong?

I face a similar problem. Heres the history.
There was a virus on my cell phone, because of which a folder by the name 'RECYCLER' appeared on my phone. I did a hard reset (Format). Since then, I believe the virus is gone (since I cant see the Recycler folder any more), but my images cant be viewed in the Gallery. If I use my phone in mass storage mode, I can see the pictures that I had taken. But they dont appear in my Gallery. Any ideas how to solve this problem.
Also, if I take my phone to a Nokia Service Center, can they format and reinstall the entire software, so that the phone is just like it was on the day I purchased it?

Iphoto wont recognize memory card to load pictures

all of a sudden iphoto wont recognize the memory card to import pictures. when you put card in reader iphoto launches but you dont see the card on the left hand side and it doesnt ask you to import the pictures. If you remove the card you get device removal error - then card appears on left and import button shows up but nothing happens when you push the button??
If you go to Finder the card is there and i can "select all" and drag them to iphoto. This is really strange - please help?

If your card shows up in the Finder then you can still import from inside iPhoto. Do File > Import to Library, then navigate to the camera card. You can preview the photos, select the ones you want to import, and import them to iPhoto. This is actually my preferred method, since it allows me to choose exactly which photos I want to upload from my camera.
Don't remove the card reader from the USB port until you have ejected it properly. You can do that from in the Finder. Click on the little triangle eject symbol next to the name of the card (below your HD icon). When the card disappears from the list it is properly ejected and you may safely disconnect the card reader.
I don't know why the card suddenly stopped appearing in the iPhoto Source List. One thing you can try is to use your camera to do a low-level format of the card. This has been known to improve a card's performance. The second thing you can try is to delete iPhoto's preference file. Close iPhoto. Use the Finder to navigate to Macintosh HD/ Users/ (your user name)/ Library/ Preferences/ com.apple.iPhoto.plist, then move that file to the trash. You'll have to reset iPhoto's preferences back to your liking after you launch it.

Music files deleted from Memory Card..(5800XM)

Hi..
I have a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. Music files used to get deleted earlier automatically from the music player, but this problem stopped for a while. The other day, I transferred about 20 songs to my phone via Mass Storage mode through my PC. After a couple of days, all those 20 songs are missing from my music player. They've disappeared from the Memory Card as well, leaving behind only the folder in which they were.
Please help. This is REALLY annoying.

Yes, may be you are right. Something was wrong with my memory card and i figured out this morning. its an 8gb card out of which my personal data was about 4 gb. yet i could see that almost 7gb was used and only about 0.5gb was free. what i did was that i pulled all my data out of the mem card and found that still 3gb was used up. hmmm...this was very weird. Not too sure but i guess it may be occupied by .arc files which are created when i do backup on the memory card. This was leaving very little space on my mem card , so whenever new data was added to the card, it was flushing out some existing data randomly (which is actually very sick!).
So, i removed all my personal data from card and then formatted it. Now my card is clean and has lot of free space. Hopefully the problem won't repeat anymore.
Its actually quite annoying that data is deleted randomly without prompting that disk has run out space. quite weird actually.
List of Nokia phones I've used: 3310, 3315, 3200, 6600,3250, N73 ME, N95 8GB, 5800 XpressMusic and Nokia X6 16 GB (currently using this).

Help needed regarding my memory card

I connected my phone to my laptop to watch a video off my phone but when I disconnected it all my file disappeared. So I thought, "great my memory card has been formatted." I just knew that it meant starting over. Every time I download something, it says 'saved' but it doesn't display on my phone.

Hello Tweeta,
Welcome to the forums.
Can you please clarify a bit when you say "Every time I download something" do you mean you are downloading using your browser or are you transferring files from your computer to your BlackBerry® smartphone?

E52 backup contacts to memory card bug.

I tried to create a backup of my contacts(550) to memory card. While doing so it copies exactly 205 contacts and displays "205 contacts copied,345 contacts not copied". I tried more than 10 times.
When checked in memory card also there were only 205 contacts.
Anybody else facing this issue?
5110->1100->6100->3230->6233->6681->N72->N73->5800->(With E52 I am done with Nokia)

Usually if there is a duplicate entry in the contacts database the name will not be displayed when receiving a call or an SMS, once you hunt down and delete the entry then it will display again. This has been the same in all of my Nokia, if I see no display I know that the NUMBER has been duplicated somewhere.
@tranworld.
I already checked, and no duplicate entries of them. Strange.
Then I tested with my wife's phone, she has 2, 1 GSM, 1 CDMA phones. Those 2 numbers in 1 contact. I misscall my phone using those phones. The GSM is identified well. But the CDMA strangely only show the Numbers, not the contact name.
And the second test, with my dad's phone. 2 GSM in same contact. 1 GSM (which had been used to contact me before) it's ok. It showed my dad's name. But the second number, again, is only showed the number not my dad's name.
So, I thought that E52 failed to identified numbers in same contact, only one number will do. The other numbers will keep unidentified.
I checked also the SIM contacts. Yes, there are duplicates of those numbers, but why first number (that identified well) are not failed also? Why it only happens to second (or third so on) numbers?
Does anybody has some kind of this problem?
btw. My phone is off by itself just now. And it already the 5th time for 7 days i had bought.

Shooting Tethered AND saving images to camera memory card?

While Tethered In Aperture 3 is there any way to leave/see the image on the camera memory card?
I review images while shooting as a client watches the images import into the computer.
This IS possible in Canon's EOS Utility but I do not see the corresponding preference in Aperture. Something like: "leave image on card during import."
Any thoughts? Thanks -- j
Canon 5D Mkii -- Aperture 3.1 -- Macbook Pro

@e2photo -- yeah, I can't believe this functionality has disappeared. On the Apple/Canon side, it could be that the software cannot distinguish between importing all the images on the card vs. tethered and importing just one image at a time. I don't know.
@TonyGay -- thanks for the tip. I'll look into that software.
Also, I posted this on another discussion forum on flickr, and someone there swears he can get this to work, but I haven't been able to do so. He suggests looking at the preferences of the Camera's proprietary software (Canon EOS Utility). There is a check box for "leave image on card" but it does not make a difference in my situation. Knowing the finicky nature of all these connections, it may be that I have to do things in a specific order, i.e. plug in camera, turn on power, set preference, or vice versa. I'm still trying.
Cheers for the help -- jameel

Help to format memory card (Nokia 5300)

Hi everyone.
I have a problem with my Nokia 5300. The problem occurred about two weeks ago and then escalates up to today, where it now has gone all bad.
The problem is my memory card. I haven’t changed it, so it is the original card that came with the phone.
It started with, that my phone couldn’t find my memory card. Then I had to shut down the phone and start it up again. It worked.
But now, I can’t get my phone to see the card. I’ve tried to take the card out of the phone and then inserted it again.
When I do that, the phone can see the card, but when I try to enter it, it says that the card isn’t formatted and therefore can’t be accessed.
According to the Nokia 5300 manual, I’ve to enter the memory card to format it – so it’s quite a paradox. I would like to back my card up, but that doesn’t seem to be a possibility.
Is there a way to format the memory card or is there someone with a explanation and/or a solutions to this problem? It’s really frustrating.
I just updated my phone, so the newest version of the software is installed. I’ve backup my contacts, messages and calendar – and some of the pictures from my memory card. I could access it in the beginning of the backup / update, but suddenly it disappeared.
Thanks
- Emil
