E71: Phone refuses to read memory card after conne...

Hi,
I'm having a peculiar problem. Every single time I connect my E71 to my laptop via cable and PC Suite, after a few moments the phone refuses to recognize the memory card. I cannot transfer data directly to the card. I have tried the PC Suite Mode, the Mass Storage mode and the Media Transfer mode but the card is still not picked up.
What's worse is that after disconnection, the phone says that it can't access the card so the default message store is now the phone memory. As a result, I can't see my SMS or mail messages and MfE says there is no profile configured.
If I then wait for several minutes, or restart the phone, it all starts working again. I've tried this on 2 laptops, both running XP Pro SP3 and the latest PC Suite but it's still thw same problem. Can anyone help?

Hi,
Okay, this is not necessarily a 'solution' in that it doesn't allow you to use the phone the way it should be used, but...
I set the profile to "Offline" and then fire up PC Suite and then connect the phone with the USB Cable in "PC Suite" mode.
If I do this, the phone behaves properly after disconnection and the memory card is recognized without any hassle.
The advantage of this (if there is one) is that you won't get interrupted by a pesky call right in the middle of an 80MB data transfer. You know what hell that plays with the phone if a call comes in between! ;-)

How do I remove photos from memory card after I have uploaded photos?

We have iPhoto 11. How do delete photos from a memory card after they have been uploaded in to iPhoto?
Thanks.

delete the iPhoto preference file
HOWEVER a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
If you continue letting the computer delete your photos you will lose them sooner or later
You pays your money and makes your choice - but you are playing a very risky game with no rewards

How do I set my camera to save all pictures to my phone and not the memory card?

Since I've added a 4G memory card my camera has a very long delay after each picture. I noticed if i switch it to save to the phone there is no delay. Is there any way of fixing this or do I have to switch it every time i use the camera?

If there is an SD card in the device it is always going to switch over to the SD card to preserve memory on the device. The only way you are going to get it to default to the device and stay on the device is not have the SD card in the device, possibly a third party application that allows to render this functionality but nothing I know of off the top of my head.

Palm TX won't read memory card

I bought a memory card for my Palm TX. I'd like to transfer files from the handheld to the card. When I go to the doc and click "Send to Card" I get a message saying there is no card. I know the card is correctly installed, as it only goes in one way and it does click into place. Is there something I'm missing here? Any suggestions? Thanks, FKpalmnovice
Post relates to: Palm TX

RPCVCAR, did you use an old HotSync account name when you Hotsynced the info to the device that came from an earlier device than the TX?
This would scramble lots of things on a newer device. Best check to determine the problem of Hardware vs. software is to:
In short:
- hard reset
- locate backup folder under palm desktop folder tree
- rename to backup_old
- sync, select old id. This will bring back PIMs (Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and Memos) but no settings nor programs
- reinstall applications one by one AFTER making sure they are compatible with the target device.

Delete from memory card after import

Hi,
I'm a fresh Lightroom newbie, and I am missing how to delete pictures from a memory card as I am importing them into Lightroom. This seems a glaringly obvious feature, so it must be hiding somewhere.
The only options I can see in the "Import Photos" dialog are
- Copy photos to a new location and import
- Copy photos as Digital Negative (DNG) and import
There doesn't seem to be an option to delete files after import, just various ways to eject the card.
I've found one way if I choose "Import Photos from Disk" while in Lightroom, there I have a Move option, but why not from device? Every other photo importer has this.
Thanks,
Zak

Thanks for your responses. I'll go ahead and use "Import photos from disk" and change to my card reader. I personally had no problems in my years reading & immediately deleting files from memory cards. I had a few instances where I inadvertently deleted a fresh imported picture on the computer, I used undelete utilities on the card in these cases.
That said, I still think it would be a good feature. If the users want to do it (2 years of questions), just let them.

Unable to read SIM card after latest update

I downloaded the most recent android update on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 on 12/10. Since that update, i've gotten the message "Unable to read the SIM card. Please restart your phone to read the card" a half-dozen times. The timing between the messages is sparatic (one time it was a few hours between messages, another time a full day, then 12 hours the third time, etc...).
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is there a simple fix to this (such as just getting a new SIM card from Verizon)? I'd like to think that the update wasn't the culprit of this, but I've had my Note 4 since the initial release, and it's only started happening since the last update.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm having the same "Unable to read the SIM card" issue. My phone is less than two months old, the unable to read SIM card issue started about a week after I purchased the phone. That was followed by a host of erratic, sporadic issues to the phone becomes unusable and the only way to temporarily fix it is to remove the battery for a few seconds. I've gone through the factory reset with Verizon reps where I purchased the phone from as well as with a Verizon online Chat representative. In a nutshell, I got a ticket to send the phone back to Samsung in Plano, Texas to get the phone fixed, I am going to do that today because this problem is ridiculous.

It must be a faulty card. Try formatting it and see if it works. If not then you should replace it.

IPhone 4S stopped reading SIM card after 6 months

I have iPhone 4S it has a H2o SIM card that's worked for about 6 months no problem then one day it said SIM card failure I powered phone on/off once and started working again. Two weeks later it took 3-4 times of me cycling power on/off and removing SIM card and reinstalling it in order to get it to work. Then a week later it did same thing but took even longer. Now it won't read at all and I thought it was SIM card so I went and bought a new SIM card but no change, I looked online for help and even tried to put tape on tray/card like someone said but no change(if I even putting the tape in right place. I tried several different ways) Nothing seems to work. My phone was manufactured between 19-25 of March 2012 so hopefully I can get warranty but not original owner so not sure. Does anyone have any idea what can cause this? Why hasn't Apple fixed this problem since its been happening for a long time

The warranty follows the phone. It should still be covered as long as it has not been physically damaged, jailbroken, or hacked to unlock it.
Make an appointment at the genius bar. Apple has no way to magically fix a hardware problem without you taking the phone to them.

Camera won't read memory card full of photos

I have a Canon 6D and I have a memory card (SanDisk Extreme PLUS 32 GB). I had another photographer download the photos onto her computer. When I got the memory card back and put it in my Mac it wont detect the card. When I put the card in my camera it says "Card can no be accessed reinsert/ change the card or format card with camera". I don't want to format the card and lose all my photos. Help please!

My advice would be to get copies fo the photos from the other person and format the card. There are other options for recovering data from a corrupted card which include specialized software or sending the card to a professional recovery service.

You can buy a USB SDHC reader that plugs into your USB ports. Looks a lot like a flash drive. Other than that, your only option is to get an external card reader. If you have Windows XP, you will likely need a Microsoft patch to enable SDHC card support.

Phone (5200) won't recognise card after music tran...

Hello
This is my first purchase of a mobile phone with mp3 playback. The salesperson supplied the phone with a 2G Scandisk card and a card reader, and told me that I could transfer music from my hard disk to the phone by using this. I loaded a little over 1G of music onto the card, using an iMac. When I put the card back into the phone, then switched the phone on, the phone showed the welcome screen and then switched itself off. It did this several times. Without the card, it functions normally.
If I read the card on a PC, it shows the music is there, in the original folders in which it was stored on the iMac. Would anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

On transferring the music to a PC, I discovered that certain tracks were rejected as their names were too long. As I had not changed them since downloading from the internet, this seemed rather bizarre. It may be that OSX does something to the names that makes them too long for PCs and Nokia telephones (they download to my Archos 604 without any trouble).

How to move contacts from my Memory card into Cona...

When I connect N73 to my PC via the Nokia PC Suite the Contacts folder as diplayed on the PC shows the same content as the folder with my contacts on my memory card. Yet when I use the phone the Contacts icon displays only the contacts from the SIM card and there seems no way how to make it see the contacts on the Memory card.
I have tried everything I could think of but no joy. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I believe you will need to do this manually for a small number of contacts.
If you have a large amount of contacts, you could export your contacts to a USB stick on your Mac, set up a second user account on a friends Mac running Lion and log into iCloud via system prefs > iCloud,, import the contact from the USB on your friends mac and sync them.
