Corrupted media card

I have updated the software on my 9105 and it has corrupted my memory card, I have lost all my pics and music that was on it. Can anyone help

Hello miss-dusty12 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
If you connect your BlackBerry as Mass Storage to your computer (KB13564) are you able to see your pictures and music?
Remove your battery followed by the media card. Reinsert the battery first and wait for the reboot to complete. Once done, insert the media card - is any message displayed when it is inserted? Are you now able to see the data on it?

Can't open certain mp3's or thumbnails on 9300, corrupt media card??

I am also having issues with the phone! Since I updated my software 2 weeks ago my app world stopped working and now I cannot download it after deleting it. About a month ago when downloading mp3's it all of a sudden started having format issues even though the music is in the supported format. My photos that were taken with the camera turned to thumbnails that cannot be opened and that is why I decided to update the software in the first place. Since the new software update I now also have a java.lang.error when ever I reboot the phone. I'm frustrated! Anybody with tips as to how I can get these problems sorted please help! I have deleted all third party apps and the error persists. Is any of this indicative of a corrupt media card??

Please don't poly-post...it takes time away from other equally deserving kind souls. Please work only in one of your threads for this topic...I recommend this one:

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.

Uninstalling Watsapp seems to have corrupted my pics! Cant view pics on media Card...

OK, so watsapp went mental, despite doing several battery pulls it remained crazy. So, of course, the next step would be to delete and reinstall. So I deleted the app. I now find that I cannot open all the pictures on my media card :/ It takes ages to index and though the pics are definately there (file manager showing % of memory card free) I cant get to them. I cant pick up from the PC either - blackberry link isnt picking up anything on my card OR device...(however it HAS taken off 16 random pics and put into a folder in my documents; which incidentally, I cant seem to restore to my z10).
Now I know what you're thinking; memory card has somehow been corrupted right? Well...No because I can view ALL my videos, music and 352 pictures (about 510 are inaccessible). I know it cant be the card as the pictures i can see are a complete mix match of dates from 2009 to present but all randomly mixed up :/
I have re-installed watsapp and all convos have backed up...
I have the latest softwarre so its not that. I can access everything on the card from PC but cant get them over into the link :/ WHY did BB have to make it like it has? (If it aint broke dont fix it!) The software was ace, you could just drag and drop. There is no 'restore' option or anything on my BB link.
I am going to do the obvious - battery pull again. If no joy then rebook with no sim. Still no joy Reboot with no media card. I dont know what else to do.
If I format the card will I lose all the pictures on it? I cant backup to the link either - there is no option :/
Can anyone help me? PLEASE

Hey MissKitten,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Just to clarify, you are not able to view the contents of the media card on your PC as well? (Not through BlackBerry Desktop Software but through My Computer).
I would suggest formatting the SD card, however formatting the SD card will erase all data. So I would attempt to back it up if possible.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

My Media Card keeps Rebooting my BB Curve 8320

I recently got a replacement bb Curve 8320. I had a media card in my old phone and when I put it in my new phone it kept rebooting my cell phone every 1-2 minutes. I went and bought a 4GB Media Card, had the guy at T-Mobile Format it and then went home and placed all of the photos, videos, music and purchased ring tones from my old media card to my new one. When I placed the new Media Card into my phone it keeps doing the same thing. I get the hour glass and then the phone reboots over and over again. Someone please help!!!! The phone has been wiped out and all applications have been updated, so I am not sure why this is happening.
Very FRUSTRATED!,
Thanks,
Jes

its also best when installing the 4.5 software to your BB, that the media card is removed from the BB during the installation. It has been known to cause these problems. Once the software has been fully reinstalled, you can then reinsert the card.
If your card was in for a previous installtion, best to format the card within the BB again.
babylabes
In my very first post I gave you directions on how to locate the exact version installed on your BB. It is very useful information to be able to help you. Also why do you plug the card into your PC to put files on it, you can plug your BB into your PC and transfer them to it that way. and in your case I would follow the instructions of making sure the .dat files are not being copied over, and make sure you dont have anything that is not media content. something you are transferring is corrupted. dont copy the folders over. Copy content in the folder to the new empty folder on the BB. (reformat while in the BB first so you have the folders)

BBCurve freezes w. Media Card - Photos

Alright,
So I have denoted that the problem is deftinitely that pesky *.dat file problem that most have encountered.
The easiest solution is deleting all of the DAT files off of the media card, but as soon as the that is complete, and the Curve has a chance to scan the media card again, it generates those DAT files and screws itself up again.
Now I have seen a few people mention large photo files causing the problem. Since it is inevitably related to these bloody DAT files (RIM staff, anyway you can help us out, or what!?) has anyone been able to pinpoint what common problems cause these DAT files to act up?
I keep the same photos on the card in the same folder structure. Nothing is moving, so it has to be either a photo size or quantity of files in a folder. With that in mind, does anyone have any suggestions? What should I be looking for? I know the best solution is to just delete the media, but then why the hell did I even bother buying this media card!?
Any help's appreciated.
~thanks

Welcome to the forums Acerbius
Just a quick note: RIM does not participate directly in these forums, they are just intended for user to user support.
I would suggest moving all your files off the media card, formatting it from the phone. The next step is crucial, be careful to transfer only the media files back to the card i.e. don't copy and paste entire folders because they may have hidden .dat files.
What device OS are you running by the way? Options>About, 3rd line down says v4.x.x.xxx?
And did you recently purchase the media card and install it? Did you recently transfer files to the card when problems started occuring? Perhaps there is a corrupted media file causing the problems.

How to find corrupt media...Need Level 4 helpers Please!

Thanks for reading. There's alot of info here so thanks ahead of time!
I am at a post facility and don't have authorization to do some of the things mentioned in other posts so I need some expert recommendations (You all) in order to convince the "Post Production Facility Manager" to fix this.
I'm working on a project that, once I quit at night and re-open in the morning...Final Cut crashes/quits at about 22% on the progress bar.
My best workaround so far has been exporting the timeline/sequence as an XML and then re-importing into a NEW project. I do this because I usually have to go back 2 to 3 hours in the Auto Save Vault to find a project that WILL open.
I've also deleted all the renders, removed my Boris 4.2 transitions, deleted preferences...except that I hop from bay to bay as I also get shuffled around this facility too (which adds extra fun to try to get autosaves)
BACKGROUND: There are two systems that are intels and 2 that are G5s and we're all sharing an XSAN. Plus the "Facility Manager" also 'shares' the Raid (mounts the raid through one of the computers) while doing After Effects work from time to time (he renders on a system with the fiber card though).
Anyhow...in AVID MC land...if you watched at the point the progress bar stops...that gives you a better indication which/where you corrupted media file is.
There's more but I get back to it. Any ammo to use on the "Facility Manager" would be greatly appreciated as he is insistent on NEVER restarting the XSAN as it takes a half hour to restart...apparently....and he says that's not the problem.
Thanks,
Tom

<<Can you not navigate to the capture scratch folder on the x-san and re name it?>>
No, because there are 4 other editors using the Xsan and I don't/wouldn't get permission. What if I just 'Select All' on the timeline and Shift + D-it, take it offline, leave on the drive, and then reconnect?
Plus, when I reconnect in sections, what do I do to check for corrupted media? Would I find it by playing the timeline or am I opening and closing the project each time I do a new section
<<I will be willing to guess that the corrupt file is one of the following: a cmyk photoshop file, an imported stock shot or some other graphic file.>>
There are only five RGB 8-bit png's in the timeline. No CMYKs. No imported QTs. No stock footage. No mixed formats. Everything is DVCPRO HD 720p60 footage digitized through the KONA 3 card.

Maybe you've only read about it happening to other people. Maybe it's happened to you and induced the worst panic attack you've had since your first stage kiss in a 7th grade play:
Losing those once-in-a-lifetime shots to corruption of your camera's media card.
Well, it would probably be in all of our best interests to gather the resources for recovery while were not deep in the throes of this kind of panic. The MacOSXHints.com site has
an item today
about a couple of free and open-source utilities that could very well save your bacon.
Go get the tools mentioned and keep 'em handy; or, at the very least bookmark the article so you can more quickly get on with the business of file recovery when you find yourself neck-deep in disaster.

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!
