Cant backup files on memory card

there is a problem with my memory card so i was told to copy everything on to a computer and format it , then restore it. when i select to copy everything and paste it in my documents i get an error "cannot copy file. cannot read from the source file or disk". when i untick the box "read only" in the "sys" folder i get a lot of files that wont change. does anyone have a better way to solve it?

Not quite clear whether "Show hidden & System files" was enabled before you started this process.

The files in the sound folder are not visible now. I have 200 MP3 files.I am using X-plore as file manager. Even music player shows no songs. This is the third time I am facing the same situation. In former situations I had formatted the memory card. But now I wont want to lose my data. Please help me..

This has been happening to me too with my E71 - 8gb card.
th original memory card that came witht he pone had to be repaced because of this problem.
what does seem to work is when i move my music files from the music folder into the root diectory - the music player seems to find them. is slow as a wet week to move though, particularly when i am connecting via bluetooth - any more palatable solutions would be appreciated

Viewing pdf files on memory card

Hi
I need to be able to save a pdf to memory card and then view it, this will be on devices that are below version 7. Currently as I understand, it is possible to do this on bb's with version 7 or above through doc's to go premium edition.
Obviously I could goto appworld and download to device, however this will not work in the corporate environment (credit cards etc) and there are about 50 devices.
Does anyone know of a company that I could purchase a license from so I can push from BES or any other ideas how I can best do this?
Thanks
Mike

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...

How to keep a copy of the image file on memory card when using tethered shooting with a Nikon D800?

I love tethered Shooting but as default (at least for Nikon) Lightroom does only save the file on the computer, not on the memory card.
Now I want to have a backup of the image file on the memory card additionally to downloading it. The tethering software digiCamControl can do this with my camera, so it is technically possible.
So how can I achieve this using Lightroom tethering?

Thanks. FWIW I'm very keen on improving tethering and lobbied Adobe endlessly until they added the overlay for shooting into layouts because it was a major reason why some of my clients were unable to switch to Lightroom from PhaseOne. But we have to be realistic and remember that tethering just isn't a key market for Adobe as it is for PhaseOne, so progress is painfully slow. For example, where is live view or setting exposure which are in PhaseOne? I'd be amazed if we get those features for a few versions, and that's why I point serious tethered shooters to other solutions. And realistically, assuming your understanding of the SDK is correct you shouldn't expect a change until the next full version of Lightroom. Good if it happens, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Moving files from Memory Card to Phone Memory on N...

Hi everyone
i have put 8 small trimmed down MP3 files onto my Nokia N95, they are to be used for certain people on my CONTACT list
i sent them from my PC via Bluetooth to the N95 with no problems, they were then saved onto the 2GB Memory card
how do i then move each MP3 from the memory card to the actual phone memory, i take its best to do this as it takes longer to access the MP3`s when they are on the memory card to be used as ringtones?
or should i just leave the MP3`s on the memory card?
also, how do i select an MP3 and then assign it to ALL the individual contacts that i need to in 1 go instead of opening each contact and individually adding an MP3 to each one?
i have forgotten how to do it!
i reset my phone last night with the holding down of the Green, * and 3 buttons
i did this because my phone kept restarting about 3 - 4 times per day by itself, i dont have any applications on my phone or anything, not sure if its safe to put too many things onto the N95 internal memory, i dont wany anymore restarts!!Message Edited by waynester on 05-May-200702:44 PM

First of all if size of your mp3 was a concer then you should have used the Music Manager in PC Suite to convert them to aac as they would be super small in size.
Next use File Manager to move from the card to the phone. Better to sva eringtones on the phone or you would lose the 'link' everytime you take your card out.
Two ways to set the ringtone for everyone. First would be to set it in your profile. And the other would be to set it to Groups... and the last one, each contact at a time.

Nokia 5800 missing personal files on memory card

Good day everyone!
I have a problem with my new nokia 5800. A month ago, i lost some of my pictures, which are saved in my memory card. I just ignore it thinking that somebody from my frends just deleted it. After a week, all of the videos, which i took, were all missing.. I was so **bleep** of. A while ago, an application that i downloaded from the net was also lost.. Im so frustrated about this.. Please kindly help me on this one.
Your response is highly appreciated. (n_n)

this seems to be a problem of a common virus as the 5800 is generally doing well except for some performance hogs.
@chan chan, there is absolutely no use when you use a PC antivirus to kill a 5800 symbian's virus. there are s60 antivirus out there, but i recommend you do a hard-reset of your phone by holding
"green" + "red" + "camera key"(full press) all simultaenously while powering on the device.do not leave the power key also till u see "NOKIA" on the screen.before doing this, remove the memory card from the phone and format it on the PC.after the phone starts factory-fresh, insert the formatted card.it should work fine now.also update to the latest v31 firmware.
remember to backup your contacts and other phone-memory data as hard reset wipes-clean all data, but do not use the "backup phone" option as it uses memory card.better sync contacts with other phone or PC
It's not always about KUDOS, but to make people happy with their Nokia. get the most of your Nokia.And be happy with what u get ......yet, please dont forget to press KUDOS if my post helped to solve your problem kudos=Rep++

Digital Camera Manually Transfer Files on Memory Card

I have a Canon Powershot Pro1 digital camera that I am able to connect to my MBP. My question is whether or not there is a way to manually move files onto the memory card in the camera. I have my camera connected via a USB2.0 cord and a 1GB CF Card inside the camera. I know there is a way to automatically transfer all photos and I know all about ImageCapture, iPhoto and Aperture. I was wondering if there was a way to make OSX recognize the camera as a external drive and manually move files back and forth because on my PC I have edited some photos and saved them as .PSD (Photoshop Files) which surely would not be transferred or recognized. For arguments sake assume I have other files other than JPG or other image files and I need to access them through a USB cord connected to the camera with a CF card inside. Thanks in advance.

Your camera should appear as a USB disk drive on your desktop as soon as you plug it in. If not, buy a USB card reader and plug the memory card into it and the card reader into your Mac's USB port. You can then drag files onto the card.
If all you want to do is transfer files between a Windows computer and your Mac, there are lots of ways to do it. An easier way is to simply buy a USB jump drive, or if both computers are near to each other, get a network hub, plug them both in via a cat5 ethernet cable and set up file sharing.

Standard Nokia Files On Memory Card

Hi I was just wondering whether there was any way of me getting the standard files that nokia put on your memory card? The reason is, is that i lost my memory card and have jsut bought a new one, which obviously doesnt come with the nokia files i need.
Cheers

I think the ony way to make it usable in your handset is to format it whilst on your device.
However, if your talking about the files you get (like sample videos) pre-loaded onto the memory card, my answer would be no, unless you know someone with the same handset who could then just make a copy of their card.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

Browse HTM files on Memory Card

I would like to browse html files that I have saved (using a card reader) on my memory card, but keep getting a "file not found" error message.
Would some kind soul please tell me what address I should enter when using "Go To Address"?
I'm using a 6230, my memory card is called "Card" and one of the files is called "start.htm"

You'll almost certainly need to open the file from a file browser like File Manager or Y-Browser.
The Web browser will only be looking at an internet address not a local address.
I have full End User experience of:
5510, 3210, 3310, 3510, 3510i, N80, N80IE, 7610, 2610, 1208 and current E90.

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?
