6680 - Can't format my MMC

I recently bought a nokia 6680 from the Carphone Warehouse on "3" and it came with a 32MB MMC Card. On the card were 6 Try&Buy programs: Active Desk, Mobile Fax, PDF+, PhotoBase, RockItPinball and Wayfinder. I have no intention of using the programs so tried to uninstall them using the Manager program in Tools but I get a message saying "Unable to delete file" after which it says "Removed" with a Tick next to it, but the program is still there. It seems as though I can neither delete anything from the MMC nor save anything onto it. I've tried to Format the MMC but the program freezes when I try to do this. Can you please advise me on how to rectify this issue. Many thanks. Matt.
PS: When I tried opening the programs they each asked for an Activation Key which I don't have. I don't know if this is related to the issue.

One way: Install FExplorer from http://www.gosymbian.com/ to the phone and use it to delete all the files on the E-drive you see in FExplorer. Do not delete anything from the C-drive or the D-drive.
After that the card should be empty (perhaps the formatting of the card will now work, too).

In a card reader. You can get them at any PC store. Best to get a USB 2.0 compatible version for speed of formating and file loading.

My ipod no longer can be formatted by IPOD UPDATER.

My ipod no longer can be formatted by IPOD UPDATER. It gives me a Cant mount ipod error now as well. It shows up in device manager as Player Recovery Device Class, and other pc's and macs cannot recognize it. Ive tried multiple ports and it does not work. When it is connected to the port it beeps as it should but then it will randomly beep as it is connected.
Also it does not work at all disconnected from the computer. The light doesnt work on it at all and there is no response whatsoever.

Hi Clayton and everybody.
I got same problem with my Shuffle: the iPod doesnt play, it doesn't response to any button, no LED works. When i plug in the USB 2.0 port i've always used before (with any problem), WinXP Pro says "the device would work better in 2.0 usb" even though I have 2.0 usb, and i need to install a new hardware as a player recovery to get the iPod Updater recognizing it as a "recovery mode".
As you said, there is only option to do a Recover, but when it starts the proccess, the USB unmount (DIDU sound argh!), and the iPod Updater tells me "Error when trying to write disc" after a few minutes stuck in the recover proccess. I've tried in 3 different PCs, and same error...
I've been without using my Shuffle for 1 week (since it suddenly stopped playing music, due to low battery I thinked)...much more than 24 hours! And it doesn't work!
Should I keep trying the "recovery mode restore" expecting for a miracle or what? What can i do? Please help, i would like to do anything possible before aplying the warranty...
Thanks! And sorry for my bad english!

Can i format a partition of a windows formatted HD for OS Extended?

things have gotten a little complicated over here but i think i finally have my windows 7 and windows xp installations on my mac pro.
the windows 7 is on my first hard drive in bay 1 "under" Lion via Boot Camp. from everything i have been able to gather we have formatted the second HD in bay 2 as a FAT32 or NTFS and actually installed windows XP right on a 300 GB partition on this drive. i know this sounds a little goofy but my understanding is that we have avoided installing Leopard (or whatever) on this second drive by going straight to the windows installation on this drive.
here is my question.
i just went to backup the data in my Lion OS that is on my drive in bay 1 on the remaining 700 GB in the second partition on the HD in bay 2. however, i cannot do this because this HD is formatted for windows.
does anyone happen to know if i can just format this second /partition/ as a OSX Extended and use this leftover part of the drive as my internal backup of my Lion OS? i mean, i used to use this second HD as a daily internal backup of my Lion OS and i would like to use this space for this if at all possible.
TIA and advance apologies for anything unclear on that.

This is made incredibly complex by Mac OS X use of extensible GUID Partition Map including an EFI partition and (possibly a Recovery_HD partition as well) Vs. Windows insistence that:
1) GUID Partition Map does not exist, and that
2) MBR Partition Map is the only one in existence, and that
3) no drive will EVER need more than four partitions total.
When you use BootCamp to put the Windows partition on a GUID drive (such as the Boot Drive) it adds an additional MBR partition Map to the existing GUID partition map. This allows Windows to boot off the same drive (Windows just reads the MBR partition Map it wants to see and ignores the GUID partition Map). This works UNTIL you use any Windows Utilities to modify partitions, after which Mac OS X becomes unreachable and will not boot properly again until you rebuild them both.
When you use Windows Utilities directly to partition a drive, it becomes a Window-only drive. To have Mac OS X use it as a Boot drive requires GUID partition Map and an EFI partition. Mac OS X needs to get in first, create the GUID Partition map, and then have BootCamp add and correctly maintain the MBR partition Map as well as the GUID partition Map.
Since Linux piggybacks on the Windows booting techniques to get Installed, there are some utilities from the Linux Open Source world, such as REFIt (has EFI in the middle of its name) that are designed to manipulate both maps in concert. They may be worth consideration.

Can't format external drive for Mac

I got an external Seagate Freeagent 750GB drive to use with my new Mini. It came formatted as a windows FAT volume. Since I don't have a FW400 to FW 800 cable yet, I have it connected via USB. When I try to reformat as a Mac drive (with any of the 4 case-sensitive / journaled options), I get an error, but I can then reformat as FAT. Does anyone know how I can format this drive as mac and what the problem is?

It may have something to do with the partition scheme. There are at least three different schemes. One is used for windows formats (so you can use FAT32 or NTFS format), one is used for Intel Mac (probably GUID, not sure), and one is used for PowerPC Mac (probably the Apple Partition Map, again not sure). I don't know whether it is smart enough to choose the appropriate scheme for you when you have selected a format for your partition. Try to select the right scheme for Intel Mac first, and then decide on the format on each (if you have more than one partition on that disk) partitions.
I think you have to make sure the format is compatible with the scheme, especially when you have multiple partitions on one disk. You can't format one partition to FAT32 and another to HFS+, although it will try to do something, but it will end up with error.

My iPod Classic has decided to fill up my music files,and I can't format the disc after restoration. How do I get it operable again?

I can't format the disc, and iTunes says I may have a corrupted iPod. The system has been restored. What do I do to get my disc space back?All the iPod is doing now is constantly syncing things. I have the latest version of iTunes. It is a 160 Gb system.

I also had about 80 gigs of space left when the iPod decided to fill up my music files, somehow.

My External Hard Drive is now classified as RAW - can you format it - External Flash Drive

My External Hard Drive is now classified as RAW - can you format it
ear Forum,
I have a Generic Flash External Disk Drive that I am having trouble formatting.
It has data that used to be on it before I changed the Storage Policies on the Control Set in the Registry Editor after reading on how to do it on the Microsoft Knowledge Base [url=http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows7/formatting-disks-and-drives-frequently-asked-questions]Formatting
disks and drives: frequently asked questions[/url]
I have copied and pasted the data that was originally on the disk - I just want to know if there is a way of making the Generic External Disk Drive usable again.
I am unsure of the different names to change it to and just wish to utilise it again.
I tried to change the Format via this link [url=http://www.wikihow.com/Format-FAT32]How to Format FAT32: 7 Steps (with Pictures) - wikiHow[/url] - It came up that I had bad sectors.
Can someone please assist?
This is what I did in Registry Editor - I had to create the the StorageDevicePolicies folder.
Open Registry Editor.
In Registry Editor, navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies
Note: This key might not exist. In that case simply create it as a new key under the parent key.
Create the following value (DWORD):
WriteProtect
and give it a value of 1.
Note: As always, before making changes to your registry you should always make sure you have a valid backup. In cases where you're supposed to delete or modify keys or values from the registry it is possible to first export that key or value(s)
to a .REG file before performing the changes.
Close Registry Editor.
Done!
I really require the information or wish to reuse the disk so can someone assist

Hi,
In Disk Management you could right click on your Drive I and choose Delete volume. However from the error message provided in Diskpart commands (Track 0 Bad) generally caused by hardware issue, so we may not able to fix it with software such as diskpart
or format.
Another possible fix is to run a Low-Level Formatting. This could be done by third party product which generally will be provided with a disk when you purchase the hard disk. You will still need to contact manufacturer if Diskpart and Disk Management
cannot help reformat the disk.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

How can I format a field in the form creator?

How can I format a field in the form creator? It's putting the same text in all the fields within a table. I want each field within the table to have different text. As soon as you click out of the table, all the text is the same.
I even changed the fields from a text box to a drop-down list so a person can make their selection, which will be a quantity from 0-9. There are two of these such fields. You make your selection in each, click off the table and both fields show whatever I selected in field 1. The original Qty I selected in the bottom field was a 5 but it changed it to whatever is in the top field on it's own. I've added a screen shot.

This behaviors usually happens when you create the fields but a copy paste command from one of the fields. The copy paste command assumes that your intentions is to maintain a copy of the field in two separate locations (e.i, a form field "company name" printed in each and every page of a multi-page form document.
Go to the properties fields of each field and make sure to assign unique form field names.

Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

Can't format my macbook pro using the instructions on here or google or youtube. Please Help!!

I'm trying to format my macbook pro using OS X 10.5.8. I've tried all the instructions that I could find, but still no luck.
Instructions examples:
1) Go into disk utility and erase the hard drive.
Problem: when I do that, it doesn't let me because the erase button is in the "greyed", so I can't click on that.
2) Restart the computer and hold down "c" and follow the instrctions...
Problem: I did that, but it just restart normally, it doesn't take me to some special screen.
3) Restart with the Mac OS CD installer and hold down "c" as it reboots.
Problem: same as number 2.
4) Restart and hold down "option" - disk utility - erase HD
Problem: I did that, and the hard drive icon with the arrow pointing up pops up; however, when I click on it, it just boot up as usual, and when I go into disk utility, I had the same problem as number 1.
This is really frustrating!! Please help!!
Thanks all!

That only works for other drives/partitions, you can't format or erase the boot drive/volume/partition obviously.
2) Restart the computer and hold down "c" and follow the instrctions...

No disk inserted, you need a bootable disk to use the c key at boot.
3) Restart with the Mac OS CD installer and hold down "c" as it reboots.
Problem: same as number 2.
Perhaps you held it too late.
4) Restart and hold down "option" - disk utility - erase HD
Problem: I did that, and the hard drive icon with the arrow pointing up pops up; however, when I click on it, it just boot up as usual, and when I go into disk utility, I had the same problem as number 1.
The option key held at boot gives you Startup Manager, which gives you a choice of bootable options provided the boot cd is inserted obviously.
If you didn't wait for the cd boot option to appear and clicked the hard drive and arrow right away, it's possible you missed the cd boot option as it takes a bit longer to appear on the screen.
If you went all over the above and can't boot from the 10.5 cd, then what likely occured is your operating system was upgraded to a later OS X version like 10.6 or later and the firmware has been updated to ignore booting or recognizing that 10.5 boot disk as that operating system is now obsolete.
Another option is your using the wrong 10.5 disk, like it's from another model of Mac with different hardware drivers, thus can't be used on your machine.
Sometimes the disk is a retail copy, but is only for compatible Mac's that came PRIOR to the release of the retail disk, obviously not for Mac's that came afterwards because of new hardware drivers not on the burned disk.
If your machine is on 10.4, it might not have enough RAM for 10.5.
If your machine is on 10.5 now, then you should be able to boot from the disk that came with the machine, unless it's defective, scratched or dirty.
If your Mac is a Intel processor Mac, then you should be using 10.6 at least now, it's still getting updates to 10.6.8 (not for Safari or Java 6, but you can disable both and use Firefox)
Usually a 10.5 issued Mac is too old for the later OS X versions of 10.7 and later, perhaps the MacPro tower being the rare exceptions.
OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
Also usually a 10.5 era issued Mac is beyond it's end of life stage, likely to die soon and not worth spending great sums of money to upgrade RAM and all software for 10.7 and beyond, your better off buying a new machine for 10.7+ or use it on 10.6.8 max until it drops dead or sell it online.
You didn't state your Mac's model identifier, it can be gleamed from System Profiler or Apple menu > About this Mac > More information.
With the model identifier, current operating system version running and the RAM amount installed, we can look up the machine on our database and recommend a course of action or if you cannot install 10.5 on that machine.
