8520, Media Card

I am trying to format my media card. I went to options and the media card does not show up in the list. There is a Memory and in that it says media card. Should I format it that way? Or should Media Card be listed under options? The phone showed that the media card was inserted when I put it back in.

Blackberry 8520 Media card

Hello, i cant recognize in my blackberry 8520 any media card. Can any one help me?
Thanks

What kind of media card are you using, what size, and what type?
What is your Operating System loaded to your device? Look at Options > > Device > About, third line down beginning with a "v.5.0.x.xxx", What is yours?

Wipe Media Card Clean

To wipe the media card clean:
Options, Memory, and when memory screen comes up hit blackberry menu key. There is an option to Format the media card. That will wipe music, pictures, etc. stored there clean.
Now, back in the box... see ya' all later, not sure what I am coming back from the Verizon store with!

For the media card, I'd suggest you format it and then try it again your BlackBerry.

Media card wont read on phone or PC. "Media card can not be accessed due to fatal errors"

I've had my blackberry curve 8520 for over a year and never had any problems with the media card until now. I'm unable to look at any pictures, videos or music on my phone as i can not install the media card on my phone. I'm unable to repair it and format it also. The media card will also not be read when I plug it into my laptop with the USB.
I definitely know its the media card and not my phone itself as I've tried my brothers media card in my phone and it worked perfectly. When i put my media card in his phone, it did the same thing and came up with the same error.
Does anyone know how i'll be able to make the media card read in my phone or my pc so I can backup the data as I don't really want to lose it all?
Any help appreciated,
Thanks!

From what you describe, the data that was on the media card is already gone. If the PC cannot read it and the BB cannot read it, then it has for some reason been fried. I'm sorry for your loss.
You can try PC-based recovery utilities, but typically with flash memory (as opposed to magnetic memory of hard drives), once the data is gone, it's gone for good. But, you never know...give some of those a try and see what happens. Before you ask, no...I've no guidance for one versus another.
Good luck!

No Media Card

I was wondering if it's possible to import any photos directly from my device without a media card. I used to be able to do with the old software but I cannot find my CD or find it available for download. I know there must be a way, please help me!

What if my BB shows no Media Card option when I go to Option--> advance option.
I cant find Media Card option there. I am using BB 8520 Curve and I am suffering with this problem from more than a year now. Need help.
Do you actually have a media card installed?
Remove it, and replace it again in the slot.
Reboot.
Try again.

Media card has errors

I recently received this message from my Blackberry-
A media card has been inserted that contains errors. To correct the erors please use a disk error checking utility on a computer.
Can anyone help me or guide me?
Thanks,

Hi
Here is a solution that I can give to you it has helped me quite alot with the same problem that I had with my Blackberry Curve 8520.
Note: Make sure that your media card is inside of your blackberry before you can follow step 3 - 7 and always make sure to turn off your blackberry and to take out your media card when you are following step 1 and 2.
1. Make everything a backup from your OLD CELPHONE for ex. videos, music, funny ringtones, pictures etc.
2. put all the backup in a folder and then after you have done that put it the folder on your external hardrive or desktop.
3. Install the Blackberry desktop manager that have came with your blackberry.
4. After you have install the Blackberry Desktop Manager, then you install the Blackberry PC USB Cable that has came with you blackberry celphone after you've done that a automatic display will show then you just close it.
5. Then you go to the drive where your blackberry is located in Computer or My Computer then you right click on that drive of your blackberry then go under where it says FORMAT then you click once. after done that then click format if it says there quick format then a pop up question will ask are you sure you want to format this drive then click yes.
6. After formatting the drive shut down the blackberry for 10 or 5 minutes, after 5 or 10 minutes are finished just power the blackberry back on. then you will see that this problem of yours is gone.
7. Then you can plug the cable back in and you can copy and paste all those backup into your blackberry.
I Hope that will help you out.
Enjoy your Day.

HOW CAN I GET MY DATA BACK ON MEDIA CARD AFTER WIPING DEVICE

please help, i wiped my device clean then did a back up and everything was back except the things i had on my media card. how do i get it back?

When you wiped your device, there is an option which you must check in order to wipe your Media card, did you have that checked or unchecked?
I am afraid that the Media Card in included in the backup of the device memory.

Panasonic HDC-SD100 media card unable to capture on Final Cut Express 4

No problems at all with transfer to i-movie but just purchased final cut express 4 and problems with capturing from the media card. Signal system on camera is 1080/50i. Have tried setting HD and 1080/50i in the easy set up but no joy. Have tried log and transfer and see clips but on transfer message states no data. Can anyone help with the settings please?
Many thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum!
There are many things that could cause this, and almost all have been discussed.
Some things to try:
• In the Log and Transfer window, click the preferences button (the gear in the upper right). Make sure audio is set to *Plain Stereo*
• Also in that preferences window, click the button to *Clear the Cache*
Also, what drive are you using to capture to (internal or external)? How is it formatted, and how much space is left on that drive?

Hp pavilion dv4-1123us Media Card won't read

I have a hp Pavilion dv4-1123us laptop that won't read a 16 GB SDHC media card. The card works in my PC, so the card is good. I have a Scandisk 5-1 media reader hooked to my home PC that would not read it but I found through Scandisk site I needed to download the latest Firmware which I did and now the card works on my PC. The reader has always and still does read a 512 MB and a 2 GB XD cards on my laptop. I am running XP Pro OS.
I have searched the HP site for driver downloads but only see them for Windows 7 and 8 not XP.
Can someone help me on this?

Hello wgray826,
You’re having a problem not being able to read a 16GB SDHC card.
I think that your computer does not support the SDHC card.
Here is a link to your user guide and what cards it supports.
I noticed that it shows the Secure Digital but not the Secure Digital High Capacity.
Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

Cannot copy file from desktop to media card

Whenever I try to copy a file from my desktop to my media card I get an error. When I use the desktop manager software I get the message 'one or more files cannot be copied: FILE_NAME'. When I use Windows Explorer to try the same thing I get the message 'Cannot copy FILE_NAME: parameter is incorrect'.
I do have a proper connection from the desktop to the blackberry because I can open files on the media card and update them. I just have the problem copying the files.
I have been able to copy the files from the desktop to the device memory. Then move it from the device memory to the media card. But there should be no difference between the device memory and the media card.
Note: The file I am trying to copy is a data file (.PDF). While I was having the same problem with music files, I found if I went into advanced parameters from desktop manager and specified the audio file type & bitrate I was able to copy the music file without errors.
I have a blackberry curve 8300
16GB media card

When I try to move the files from the Finder Window with the files on the DVD, I do not get the plus sign when I try to drag it to the desktop or any other window. Even when I try with the option key pressed, there is no plus sign with the mouse arrow. Someone suggested to use the terminal and I did. It was a hassle, though.

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.
