8100 Pearl not recognizing 2G MicroSD card

When I put the card in the phone, then replace the battery, the phone never turns on.  The outside red LED flashes red and the phone never turns on.  The options for the Media Card are:
Media Card Support: ON
Encruption ModeL None
Mass Storage Mode Support: On
Auto enable mass storage mode when connected: Prompt
Not sure if these matter or not, a friends' 512mb card worked fine.
Ill be returning the card soon, am I missing something? is there any settings I could look at?
Thanks,
Jason

2GB is supported by 8100. What is your OS version?

  • Pearl not recognizin​g sim card or media card

    Well my old pearl broke so i ordered a new one on ebay, it was a t-mobile phone, but its not recognizing my sim card? and when i put my media card in from my old phone it says ''media card inserted contains encrypted content which will be unaccesible  by this devise. please place the media card in origional devise to acces the content" but i cant because my other phone is broken. any ideas or helpfull advice is greattttly appreciated...

    Yes, using DTM you should be able to backup the contacts, calendar, etc. http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB12487
    For the media card, if you plug into the computer, does it show up as a usb drive? If so, you may be able to save the data.
    Normally, you would go to Options>Media Card, and set:
    Encryption to "Off",
    Mass Storage Mode to "On",
    Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode to "Yes"
    If your trackball and menu buttons partially work, you can try to do this. If not, you may have to  format the media card in the new phone and lose the stored files

  • HT1267 i restored my iphone and itunes is not recognizing the sim card why?

    iPhones require a SIM card for activation.  The SIM does not need to be active, but it must be for the carrier the device is locked to.

  • Am having problems buying app from App Store ... It's not recognizing my credit card security code... It's says " incorrect code" any help pls wot do I do

    Am having problems buying app from App Store ... It's not recognizing my credit card security code... It's says " incorrect code" any help pls wot do I do

    This can be caused by a few things.
          Make sure the billing card address, the one on the statement is the exact
                 same as in iTunes.
          Note even the zip code being off can cause this.
           Try a different CC
          and the way the always works

  • 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?

    I found something from Spingineer here (http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=8100&thread.id=11781) and tried that.   It worked like a charm.

  • My iphoto is not recognizing my sd card

    I have a macBook Pro and I have been downloading my pictures directly from my SD card to my computer for about 2 years now. For the past few weeks I have been trying to download my pictures and the computer is not recognizing that I am inserting my sd card at all. The iphoto icon usually opens up on its own once the card has been put in, but now nothing. I've opened iphoto then tried to put he card in, but still nothing. I don't see the card anywhere on the computer at all. Any ideas?

    Does it mount to the finder? Does Image capture see it?
    What you need to do is find a way to get th ephoto soff and then use your camera's format command to reformat the SD card
    In the future a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card --  I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos

  • Windows 8.1 not recognizing my video card

    I found this link of something similar to a forum thread that was never completed! I have the same problem this guy had last year, but he never responded if their fixes worked for him. So far, I've tried both boot camp 5.1 driver versions and neither has worked for me. The version for the older macs didn't allow me internet access, so I realized something was wrong, then switched to this newer model bootcamp 5.1 and am not seeing my video card at all!
    My system is a mid 2014 MacBook pro
    16gb Ram
    512gb Flash drive
    intel i7 quad core 2.5ghz
    graphics card (unknown!) I think it is supposed to be a GeForce 750m or 850m or something like that... but I can't find it while in boot camp.
    I've tried every fix I can think of, from searching for drivers on the internet (which doesn't really work when bootcamp doesn't even recognize the hardware in the first place), to reinstalling the bootcamp drivers... again. Someone please help!

    Wow, nevermind. Trying the 5.1.5 for a second time fixed my problem. It is now registering my GeForce 750m and my Archeage game is running beautifully on very high settings! Why oh why didn't it work the first two times...

  • My Pearl 8100 is not recognized by my Windows 7 computer and Desktop SW 6.0

    I cannot get my newly installed desktop software (v6.0) to detect my Pearl 8100 when I connect it through USB.  Upon the first software installation, it will recognize and sync once but after disconnecting and reconnecting, it will not detect.  I have to unload the software and re-load in order to get another detection.  Any ideas why it will not detect on subsequent connections?  The USB cable does not appear to be the issue.

  • Nikon raw files not recognized on CompactFlash card

    Hi all,
    I inserted my CompactFlash card (containing Nikon NEF files) in a card reader connected to my iMac today. iPhoto opened, showed the card but said there were no photos on the card. Image Capture also shows the card but says there are no images.
    Examining the card in the finder showed the images as expected. I was able to copy them to the hard drive. When I imported them from the hard drive into iPhoto, the images were extremely pixelated. These same images open normally in Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop CS3.
    The card and card reader imported fine on an iBook G4 running iPhoto 6.
    I tried the following to resolve the issue:
    • refomatted the CompactFlash card, shot an image and attempted import
    • rebuilt iPhoto library
    • deleted preferences for iPhoto and Image Capture preferences in /Library and ~/Library
    None of these were successful. Does anyone have any thoughts on further steps I can take to resolve this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Terence. I initially did not find the RawCamera.bundle in /System/Library/CoreServices. I looked it up in Time Machine and found the version number. I then restored it from Time Machine backup and restarted. All works fine now. Now I need to figure out how RawCamera.bundle got deleted yesterday as I was not messing around in the /System/Library/CoreServices folder.
    Thanks much for the help and ideas all.

  • Premiere Pro CC not recognizing my graphics card

    I was editing  with it fine, not all of sudden Premiere Pro  cc dont recognize card a MPE is diabled
    Mt card is a GTX 660

    If Windows, it is "fairly" common that a Windows Update will change "just enough" that a graphics adapter driver will become out of date
    If Windows,
    Right click in any open area of the Windows desktop
    Select NVIDIA Control Panel from the popup window
    Select SYSTEM INFORMATION at the lower left corner
    Driver version should be the 1st line in Details
    For Windows, do NOT rely on Windows Update to have current driver information
    -you need to go direct to the vendor web site and check updates for yourself

  • My Iphone is not recognizing my SIM card...I've tried two cards but no luck...please help...

    I tried putting two SIM cards in my iphone. It intially recognizes it, but it can't text, 1 out of 5 call attempts are successful. The rest is all good, but it's not like a phone anymore..

    Are thses actual microSIMs or regular SIMs that have been cut down?
    IF they have been cut down, it's possible they were not cut properly and are not making contact resulting in marginal performance.
    If they are microSIMs then it's possible the iPhone is experiencing a hardware issue.    

  • My ipad is not recognizing my sim card

    my Ipad 2 is about 2 years old, i have downloaded IOS 7
    and now i keep getting a message that i have no sim card ... i am travelling and require my 3G when not in wifi areas
    anyone else had this problem ?? is it related to the IOS 7 ??
    thanks ...
    i have tried to reinsert the sim card ,,,,, but have no paper clip !!!

    I hope I'm not jumping the gun, but after having the same "No Sim Card" problem after installing iOS7, trying the various "fixes" ... removing and replacing Sim Card, turning Airport Mode off and on, etc., without a permanent fix, just now I removed the Sim Card and cleaned the inside of the Sim Card slot on my iPad2. 
    To do this I took a thin flexible piece of plastic ... it's actually one of the removable collar stiffeners from a men's dress shirt, but a sized strip of cardboard would also work.  I folded a cut-to-fit strip of paper towel ( I used heavy duty Bounty paper towel so it wouldn't fall apart ... a piece of clean cotton would work as well) over the plastic strip, soaked it with isopropyl alcohol, and carefully slid it back and forth in the slot a couple of times.
    Then I reinserted the sim card and turned the iPad back on.  At first I got the no card message again, but after simply turning Airport mode off and on, then wi-fi off and on, it started working again.  This was a few hours ago.  I've gone back to the iPad several times now and when I've turned it on, it continues to work properly.  Only time will tell if this will work permanently, but since I've had the no card message non-stop for 2 weeks now, it's definitely encouraging.
    It makes sense, because one of the fixes was to clean the Sim Card.  Why wouldn't the Sim Card's receptacle be just as likely to get dirty or have a tiny bit of dust on it, stopping the connection? Wish me luck.

  • ITunes not recognizing my sim card after iPhone update

    Hi,
    So I just updated my iPhone software to the iOS 4 version on my 3G and connected it to itunes. Everything got backed up fine but when connecting to the itunes store, it says that my sim card is not supported.
    I've tried turning it off and switching it back on, but nothing seems to work.
    If anyone can help me in this, it would be awesome!
    Thanks!

  • Computer is not Recognizing Compact Flash Cards and Readers

    My digital readers are no longer being recognized by my computer. When I plug one of them into a multi-port firewire hub they are not being seen. In the past when I did this iPhoto would open and then I downloaded the photos into iPhoto. Now nothing happens.

  • Log and transfer not recognizing my p2 cards

    I have been off my computer for a few weeks and I just went to upload data from my p2 cards and log and transfer will not recognize them. I copied the card contents with the text docs into folders on my desktop to do the transfer and the Log and Transfer still did not work.
    Last time I had problems with this was a quicktime update, I have updated since and it worked fine until now. does anyone have any experience with this problem or have I just messed something up? I am running FCP 6.0.4.

    Do you have FX Factory installed? Version 1 and 2...and the demos...interfere with import. Either remove it or update to 2.0.1 and that will fix it.
