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.

  • Older iMac not recognizing AirPort card

    I manually installed an AirPort Extreme card in my G4 iMac. I followed the instructions exactly. However, it's not showing up anywhere in the Network Preferences. It's like I never installed it. I think I did everything right, I even went back and did it again, still to no avail.
    Is there something I'm missing here? Remove screws, plug in card, restart computer, right?
    Part of what be my problem is I'm using a newer iMac that does have an AirPort card built-in as a base station, (or, at least, that's the plan- is nothing showing up because I don't have a real base station?). Maybe I'm totally wrong about all this, but I don't think that should stop my computer from not recognizing the card.
    It is an older card, bought refurbished from the Apple Online Store.

    Which G4 iMac did you install the card into? Does it have a clock speed of 1 GHz or faster? Click on the Apple menu and select "About this Mac".
    Assuming the clock speed is 1 GHz or faster, run System Profiler and look in the "AirPort:" field. If the card is not recognized, the field will be blank.

  • 400 mhz G4 PB not recognizing Airport card

    HELP!!! i'm a PC girl learning Mac, and bought a used G4 powerbook to try it out. I then purchased a used Airport card to go wireless. However the computer is not recognizing the card. It is installed correctly- barcode up, all the way in, but no go. Is there anyway to test (like will a trip to the Apple store help or will they look at me like i'm from the dark ages?) the computer or the card? I was going to attempt to harvest the card from my snow base station but don't have a star tip for my screwdriver to get into the thing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!! THANKS!

    Thanks brody. That is the card I have. I was guessing at the OX I have as I bought this machine used and truly have no idea where to find half the stuff much less what it is. since I figured out where to find it, I'm running 10.4.11.
    I appreciate everyone's help. I've had the hardest time figuring out just which model I have. i've yet to find a picture just like it. I'm not even sure it's a 12, since dummy me didn't realize they're like tv's and measured diagonally. I think it might actually be a 15 inch if that makes a difference. 2 hinges in the back, all the ports in the back under a cover (I must have looked rather comical until I figured that one out) card slot is on the left side, dvd drive in the front. I was told it was a titanium but honestly it didn't matter to me so I didnt' check to make sure. I just wanted something relatively cheap to see if I really liked a mac before i plunked down a couple of thousand on a new one. It wasn't until I had trouble with the card that I found out all these different ones existed.
    also, it looks like there are actually 2 slots to the card reader, although I cannot access it from the battery bay. The slot I can access that the card does actually fit in is from the left outside. the other slot is under it (I can see it with the keyboard off and the card removed) and looks as thought the card would be inserted similar to the one i can use, except the body of the powerbook is in the way. I'm afraid to do much more than I have hardware wise as my PC kicked the bucket so this is my only working computer right now. Let me know what you guys think!!
    THANKS!!!

  • My BB Pearl 9105 does not recognize Media card

    Media card can not be accessed due to fatal errors. what does it mean?

    Hello Art4412,
    Try transferring the media files from your media card to a PC and then reformatting the card, have a look at this: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10527

  • 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?

  • FCPX will not recognize media card

    I am following Ripple Trainings tutorial for FCPX.  In following that exactly I can not get FCPX to recognize a card reader with a Compact Flash from a Canon 7D.  I have changed the card file structure so that there is only one folder and only h.264 files.  No luck.  The Help Menu lists no special file structure requirements. Incidentally,  the card is recognized in the Finder and accessible.
    Help, Thanks

    Did you try doing this? This is all I know about the formattin cards? There will be more  help soon on the way!
     Format Card  If you are using your card it might be best to put the card in a reader and transfer everything to your pc first. Then with the card back in the BB gob to Options>Media Card>Menu>Format Card. If that works just transfer all your files back.

  • Iphone not recognizing SIM card

    Since I bought my Iphone about 5 months ago, a few times it would say that there is no SIM card inserted, when in fact there had been one. I would remove and reinsert the card or do a hard shut down and restart and the problem would go away. Yesterday, as I was scanning my applications a error message came on saying it did not recognize a network. Then I noticed the functions on would not work. Basically it froze. So I restarted it. Once the apple logo went off there was an icon of a USB to be connected to iTunes, with no other functions working. I then patched it to my laptop and the error message on the laptop said that there was no SIM card in the Iphone. thinking its a SIM card problem I inserted someone elses SIM in my iphone. Same problem. I inserted my SIM in another iphone. No problem. It was not a SIM card issue. Without the iphone recognizing the SIM card the phone could not even be reset.
    I took the phone to the Service provider in Malaysia MAXIS. They said the iphone is defective and had to be taken in for repair. The problem is they will most probably replace the phone, However there policy with Apple they say is that I have to WAIT 6-8 WEEKS for a new set. How ridiculous is that?
    The worry I have now is that all my apps that I bought, what will happen to them? All the online games that I have been leveling up for months, what happens there? I could never sync my phone with my laptop when it came to the apps. It just would not sync!
    It is disappointing to think that Apple does not have a solution to customer software and program issues.

    You're right - it is ridiculous however thats not a decision made by Apple, but by Maxis. If Apple were asked to rpovide immediate replacements, they would do so and Maxis would have to pay the price. Under warranty, in other countries we can go into an Apple store and get an immediate replacement.

  • IPhone 5 not recognizing SIM card, I can't activate the phone.

    Hi, everybody.
    A couple of days ago, I bought an iPhone 5 from a friend. I have an iPhone 4 and, as you know, they both have different SIM card sizes (4 uses micro size and 5 uses nano size). When I got the iPhone 5, I restored it to factory settings, but couldn't activate it 'cause I didn't have the nano SIM card (or SIM nano card, anyhow it goes), so I just turned it off. Next morning, I went to my mobile carrier to buy a nano SIM card (they took like 28 hours long to activate it…anyway) but the iPhone is not recognizing it, so I cannot activate it.
    I've gotten stuck in the white "Hello" screen for like 3 days already and I'm running desperate 'cause I wanna use my stupid iPhone 5…
    Please, guys, any help?
    EDIT: It cannot be restored via iTunes 'cause I get a screen saying that there's no SIM card in the iPhone I'm attempting to activate. The friend who sold me the phone showed me a way to restore it on the phone itself, without having to send the command through iTunes 'cause he said that from iPhone 4S onwards all phones have to be restored with a SIM card inserted. Thing is, I tried this two or three times on the iPhone 5 but the device still doesn't recognize the stupid SIM…

    EDIT 2: It cannot be restored via iTunes 'cause I get a screen message saying that there's no SIM card in the iPhone I'm attempting to activate. The friend who sold me the phone showed me a method for restoring it on the phone itself, without having to send the command through iTunes (connect the phone to computer, turn it off, hold both Home and Power buttons until the Apple logo disappears, release the Power button without releasing Home button, iTunes shows a message about an iPhone in restoring mode, restore, etc.). Thing is, I tried this two or three times on the iPhone 5 but the device still doesn't recognize the stupid SIM…
    Please, help

  • Sd card reader on MBP not recognizing SD card

    The SD card reader on my MBP is not recognizing a new SD card.  I have tried taking it out and putting it back in.  I looked in disk utility, but do not see it listed.  "I also tried image capture.  What else can I try?

    If you have photos on the SD card try using Image Capture to download the photos to a folder on the Desktop before you reformat the card with the camera.

  • BERRY WILL NOT RECOGNIZE MEDIA CARD.

    I have a Blackberry Curve 8320 from T-Mobile. I upgraded the system software to 4.5.081 and every thing works fine.  I have a Scandisk 4gb micro sdhc card in the berry.  I sold my old phone and had to pull the sim card from the berry  to clear the old phone before I sold it. Prior to this everything worked fine.
    Now I put the Sim card and media card back in the berry and it will not recognize the Media card.  Tried to reformat the card and I get a message "card not readable".  This card worked fine for a month until today, and that's with the system up grade.
    Did anyone ever experience this?
