Hello,
Via the device, not really. Via your computer, absolutely. Your choices are:
Mass Storage Mode:
KB11879 What is mass storage mode
KB13564 How to enable or disable mass storage mode on the BlackBerry smartphone.
KB29523 How to manually transfer files between a BlackBerry smartphone and a Windows computer
With your "old" card in your BB, copy everything to your Computer
Change to your "new" card
Format the "new" card in the BB
Copy everything from the computer back to the "new" card
Using a Card Reader adapter on your computer:
Remove your "old" card from your BB
Use the card reader and copy everything from the old card to your computer
Insert the new card into the BB
Format the new card in the BB
Remove the new card from the BB
Use the card reader and copy everything from the computer to the new card
Put the new card back into the BB
Good luck!

  • 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.

  • Can not access the media card files Blackberry 8310 - HELP

    Can not access the media card files Blackberry 8310.
     I had a battery drain problem. The unit would only last 16 hours before completely drained. Purchased a new battery with the same result. I figured that I should try a complete reset so I did a hard wipe. Once that was done and I loaded the unit back up and returned online, the battery drain problem was resolved but now I can not access the media card.
     Here are the messages:
     “A media card has been inserted that contains encrypted content which will be unaccessible by this device”
     I can see the files. I have transferred them to my PC via the SD card but I can not open them. Here are the settings:
     Media card support – ON
    Encryption Mode: - Security Password & Device
    Encrypt Media Files – YES
    Mass Storage Mode Support – OFF
     Please note – I can not change the encryption mode since it is set by policy
     Security Options – General Settings – Content Protection – Disabled
     The version of Desktop Manage I am using is 4.2.1.8. When I try to use the Media Manager to move the files, I get an error message and can’t move the file. If I access the file on the card and try to display it, I get:
     Unable to display file /media card/ pictures/ing000000xx.jpg.rem
     Here is what I have tried (from the advice on this board):
     1)     Read the files directly off the media card – No good
    2)     Create a “new” folder on the media card and move a file into it then try to read it – No good
    3)     Email the file then read it – No good
    4)     Reset Encryption mode to off then try – Can’t do it – IT Policy setting
    5)     Be sure that the password was set the same as before the wipe (setting is password & device) – Can’t do it – The Blackberry prevents me from using an old password.
     So I think I can’t read the files because I can’t replicate the encryption key. Could that be right? My problem is that I do not understand why this would be the case. It is still the same device and since it knows what the old password was (because it would prevent me from using it again), why would it not generate a key to access the files?
     All I am trying to get off the card are pictures on my 6 year old … some are priceless. Can someone help me do this? One would think that this should not be this hard but from all the postings I have found, it seems that it is. And yes, shame on me for not moving the files before I did the reset (THAT will never happen again!) but this being unrecoverable is unconscionable given how many seem to find themselves in this situation.
     Thanks for any help you can offer!

    Not sure why you couldn't see them using mass storage mode. Did you have the pics stored on your media card? Try going to media-menu-explore-media card-blackberry-pictures See what the extension is on your pics. If any have the extension such as .jpg.rem they are encrypted.

  • MacBook Pro is corrupting media cards - any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Memory cards become corrupted when inserted into the card reader slot. When I put the card back in the camera, the camera malfunctions (Error 99 message). I have had the camera cleaned and sent in for repairs, but there in nothing wrong with it. New media cards work until they are inserted into the Mac. Now the Mac is telling me some file formats can't be read, but the format has not changed from previous images it reads off the same card, taken during the same sessions. Images I was able to see on the camera become unreadable after trying to download in the Mac. The Mac is messing up the cards -- corrupting them, so they aren't usable in the camera anymore. I have been told to try using a media card reader, but that is just a band-aid fix. Does anyone know of a real fix that could remedy this problem?

    Make sure that you haven't disable background images.

  • Media card encryprion code

    My phone wouldn't recognise unlock code so it wiped everything and when it rebooted I saw for the first time in 18 months that I needed a media card encryption code which was used to protect files so I presumed was the same as new unlock code but its not and I've lost music and photos and downloaded files

    That's unfortunate, but yes if you had the Media Card encrypted at the time, you will not be able to access those media files now that you've wiped and changed the security password.

  • MEDIA CARD PASSWORD/ENCRYPTION

    I recently had to change my password for my blackberry (my firms policy). I did this but then later  i forgot it.
    My IT Dept reset my password so that i can access my blackberry, BUT when i then tried to access my pictures (media card) it asked for the pasword (which i had FORGOTTEN).
    So my question is quite simple: How do i access my MEDIA CARD while its encrypted and asking for a password.
    I have already tried to switch off the Encryption on the Media card  and the unit itself...and still it doesnt work.
    Can ANYONE HELP or offer some advice.

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    This may not end well, sorry.
    Have you tried using the new password to access the media card?
    You probably won't be able to turn off encryption as an IT policy may be in place. You can ask for a temporary removal of the IT policy to see if the files can be accessed. I've attached some links for reference.

  • Apps onto media card.

    hi. i have a torch 9810 smartphone thats not acting so smart.. :-)  or could be me. well.. theres only 512mb memory for download apps to, only downloaded 4 and its full. how do i change the settings to use a media card to fit more apps onto.. 
    thanks. 
    dave... 

    Hello...if interested, here's a "primer" on how memory on BBs works...the basic answer is no...apps can only reside in the protected AppMemory space...they cannot be installed and functional anywhere else. More details...
    There are three types of potential memory on a BB: 1) Application Memory, 2) Device Memory, and 3) Media/SD Card Memory.
    Application Memory -- This is the most crucial; it is the protected (not user accessible), dedicated, and fixed (in size) space that is available as the destination for the installation of applications (plus some application storage, overhead and such). You cannot touch AppMemory. You cannot improve the maximum AppMemory that your BB has. It is what it is. Applications can only install here...there is no option.
    Device Memory -- This is space on your BB that you can touch to store files, pictures, media, etc. Typically, it is not terribly large, but it is available to you.
    SD/Media Card Memory-- This is what it says...your SD card, for you to store files, media, pictures, etc. It can be as large as your BB OS can support...see this KB:
    KB05461MicroSD card sizes supported by the BlackBerry device software
    On some devices/OS levels, you can only see "File Free" (Options > Status), which I think is equivalent to AppMemory. On other devices, you can see all three memory usage levels (Options > Memory). Here are some guidelines to use:
    KB02843What is the Low Memory Manager feature on the BlackBerry smartphone
    KB14320How to maximize free space and battery power on the BlackBerry smartphone
    KB14213Call logs, SMS text messages, and email messages are deleted from the BlackBerry smartphone
    Lastly, it is always important to properly close applications when you are done with them. Using the Back or the Red key will not do this -- those leave it to the app to decide what to do...and some will leave themselves resident in memory, consuming resources on your BB, slowing the overall performance. Rather, to close an app, press and select "Close" or "Exit"...that will force the application to be closed, freeing up for your new use the resources it was consuming. Some apps will always remain running (typically -- BBMessenger, Browser, Homescreen, Phone, and Messages)...but, you should still close them properly - especially the Browser...if it is left on an active web page, it will not only consume extra resources but battery power as well.
    Further, anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure. Some have taken to doing this on a regular basis as a preventive measure...some as frequently as once per day. Others have obtained the QuickPull app to automate a simulated Batt-Pull.
    Good luck!

  • Installing a media card

    I recently changed from a 8830 world phone to a 8330 curve.  I've inserted the media card from the 8830 to the Curve and I get the following message under options/media card: (Media card cannot be read.  Verify that the memory card is formatted.)
    I've tried to format the media card and the following message comes up: (Media card format failed)  I've tried taking the card out several times and still the same thing happens.  What's wrong or what am I doing wrong?

  • Accessing media card data

    I had major issues with my Sprint BB and had to change phones. Luckily, everything is supposedly on my media card.
    I've inserted the media card, but I don't know how to get its data to load on to currrent phone.
    Please help; I don't want to have to re-enter everything by hand.
    Libby

    OK...either he did something really strange, or you did not understand what he meant. From that description, the only things you will now have are pictures and other true "files" that were saved to the Media Card. All application data (contacts, calendar, messages, etc.) are stored in AppMemory...if a backup was not taken, then your data is gone.
    Sorry...

  • Media card not being recognized by Media Sync / Dekstop Manager or Windows

    I hope someone can help me with this.
    I've got a Bold 9000 running OS 5.0.0.411 (the Vodaphone offiical release, not the Bell one).  I'm on Rogers though.
    I have an 8GB Sandisk card in it which the phone reads fine.
    However, Media Sync, Desktop Manager, and Windows 7 64-bit wont read it.
    I've done the following to try and fix this:
    - Mass Storage Mode Support is "on", doesn't help
    - tried reformatting the media card through the phone, doesn't help.
    - tried reformatting the media card through Windows, doesn't help.
    - tried uninstalling Desktop Manager and just installing the USB drivers, doesn't help.
    - tried re-installing Desktop Manager, doesn't help
    - tried updating the "RIM Blackberry SD USB Device" driver, no change as Windows says it has installed the right version.
    - tried both versions of Media Sync (older and just released version), doesn't help.
    - tried another SD card, doesn't help.
    - under Computer Management > Disk Management, the SD card shows up, but with no drive letter assignment.  If I try to assign one, it doesn't work.  Basically if I check anything but "Properties", it tells me there is no drive there.
    Does anyone have a suggestion to fix this or should I reload the older OS?  Admittedly, I don't know if even that will help because the last time I ran Media Sync on my phone was when I was running Vista so maybe it is not the phone but a Windows issue.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Been searching for the last two days and can't seem to find an answer.
    Cheers.
    BB-past: 9000>9700>9800>9780>9810>9900>Z10>Q5

    Me too:
    BB Pearl 8120 (OS 4.5.0.124)
    Windows7 Pro 32bit
    BB Desktop Mgr. 5.0.1
    Reading/accessing the media card via USB always worked fine in XP, and still works fine in Ubuntu Linux (I could never get Bluetooth to do it at all). With the Windows7 upgrade, suddenly Windows can detect but not read the card. It's detected as a removable disk in Explorer, but when you try to open/browse it, Windows throws up a dialog that says "Please insert a disk into removable disk (F."
    The phone sees it just fine, XP sees it just fine, Ubuntu sees it just fine. It's more likely to be a Microsoft problem than a RIM problem, but it's still friggin' annoying. Does anyone know a workaround for this? The Desktop Manager software won't run under WINE for me.

  • Changing sim cards without losing music and video on iphone

    I have an iphone 3gs, with an Australian account. I have gone on a trip to London and have obtained a payg sim card here. Before I left I unlocked my iphone with my provider and am looking to use the UK sim card. My concern is that if I change sim cards I need to restore my iphone. Does this mean that I lose my music, video and podcast files? All the originals are on my pc at home in Australia. Is there a way that I can change sim cards without losing my media files in the iphone?
    thanks

    I too have an account with 3 Australia (now known as VHA) and am using it in Malaysia during my holidays here. Anyways to your question:
    No if done properly you don't even need to restore your iPhone. If your phone is already unlocked just chuck in the new SIM card and that's it.

  • BB can't see media card but PC can

    Hi, I'm attempting to install a 4 gb Micro SDHC card into my Blackberry 8330 but I'm not having any luck. I can see and work with the card from my PC but not the BB. Here are the details:
    BB software v4.3.0.127
    Carrier = Verizon Wireless
    Media card is a SanDisk (not purchase from Verizon) 4gb micro SDHC
    Formated card in PC, no problem
    added directories (recommended by another thread) for pictures, voicenotes, video, blackberry and ringtones
    Changed Media settings on blackberry to match recommendations from other tread:
    media card support is on
    encryptions mode = none
    mass support mode = on
    auto enable mass storage = yes
    The BB still tells me the media card cannot be read. If I try to format it from the BB, it says the "Media Card Format Failed". 
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Solved!

    Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums.
