I could be wrong, But I think 32GB is the maximum external memory you could put on a BlackBerry OS7.1 smartphone.  But if you just want to format the card, do what's suggested above and see if it works on a 64GB card. Cheers!

  • SDXC card unable to Erase/format.

    Hi there,
         new SANDISK 32GB SDXC card from authorized seller will not progress past the initial stage of the Erase process i.e after I hit Erase in the Disk Utility the log shows the SD card has been partitioned but 'waiting for the disks to re-appear'.
    So it stalls at this point and never formats into MacOS Extended (Journaled).
    It also only shows up as 32 MB on the Apple SDXC reader instead of 32 GB.
    It is a brand new card, never formatted or used before. Am I missing something or is the card at fault?
    Card inserted into both my MacBook Pro (2012) and new iMac both running 10.8.5.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Tasmanflyer,
    If you are having issues with your SDXC card, you may find the following article helpful, in particular this portion:
    Can I reformat an SD card with Disk Utility?
    Yes. Using Disk Utility, you can partition and format an SD device as FAT32 (using the MS-DOS FAT setting) or Mac OS Extended. The Mac OS Extended format can only be used on Macintosh systems. Cards formatted to Mac OS Extended will not be recognized by non-Apple systems. Formatting cards larger than 32GB for use with digital cameras, GPS, and other devices may require formatting them with the exFAT file system. When in doubt, format the cards in the device you intend to use with the card.

  • Formatting 2GB SD card with FAT32 using Disk Utility

    Hello
    I'm trying to format a 2GB SD card in a card reader/writer to FAT32 using Disk Utility. Unfortunately the only option available under the Erase button is "MS-DOS File System (FAT16)". I need to do this to upgrade the firmware in my Sony TV which requires a FAT32 formatted USB device.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Tim
    P.S. Unfortunately I'm stuck in OSX Tiger on an old B&W G3 while my G5 undergoes repairs.

    Ok, well anyone know of a free OSX 3rd party utility that will enable me to format the SD card to FAT32?
    Unfortunately I don't have a larger SD card.
    I tried my 1GB SD card on a XP PC and I'm not given the option of FAT32. So it may be a limitation of the SD specification, which means you may just need to bite the bullet and buy a larger SD card.
    Perhaps you can ask Sony if there's some setting on your device to use something other than a FAT32 SD card. (I mean, this is Sony after all, you'd think they'd prefer Memorystick. )

  • Formatting new 2 gb card in fat32?

    I bought a new 2 gb and it was factory formatted (fat16 i think) so i use it. However, I was told that it is better to format it in fat32 rather than in fat, since fat32 saves more space (it almost doubles it!) and card works faster. Can anyone confirm this? Also, is it reliable enough?
    I use N95 and kingston 2 gb microsd, i just copied my photos and videos, and downloaded some maps to my new card and it works.. I guess i should have formated it before for best results..

    Interesting question ! Without performing proper timings etc. I'd say this is due in part down to the hardware and Operating System being used - so comparing like with like is vital ! However from a space perspective, FAT32 is indeed more efficient !
    In terms of doubling the space available - the short answer is no - the official answer from Microsoft quotes a 10-15% increase in disk space usage efficiency
    You can find the full article here :

    You can still convert your microSD card to use FAT32, by copying the data off your microSD card to your hard disk, reformatting your memory card to FAT32, and then copying the data back to your memory card.
    You should remember to keep all file attributes the same such as hidden etc. to ensure that none of the applications on the phone start complaining that something has changed !

  • Sandisk 64gb micro sdxc card works in 701

    Following on from user Roveel's post about his use of this sdxc card in the N8 I got one for my new 701. Once formatted to Fat32 in my pc (used the same utility that Roveel used) the card works in the phone. 
    The phone saves pictures to the card, views them, and also plays back music stored on the card fine. The only bug I can find is that the phone will not format the card, fails with an error message. Formatting the card reduces the capacity a little to 59gb but that is still better than my old 32gb card. See picture attached.
    Now running a 701, beautiful phone to handle and use...now that it has stopped sending my personal information to Nokia via 360Panel [rolls eyes]

    64 000 000 000 bytes isn't 64GB
    it was some fight some years ago... i believe than we shoud try fight back again becouse
    64 000 000 000 bytes is:
    64 000 000 000 / 1024 = 62 500 000 KB
    62 500 000 / 1024 = 61 035 MB
    61 035 / 1024 = 59.6 GB
    that is the reason of 59.4 GB
    i hope that explain
    but resuming it works
    and i like this news, at least for my N8
    waiting for my 808 PureVision (as soon sells begining)

  • MacBook Pro won't read the sdxc card from Panasonic GH2

    I've got a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8. Just took my first pictures/video with the GH2 using a Lexar 64GB SDXC card. When plugging in the USB cable that came witht the camera I got - "The disk you inserted was not recognized by this computer". Does anyone out there have the GH2 that has experienced this problem? Solution? I've written to Lexar but so far they've been no help. I know the file system for this card is FAT32 which is a PC format.  I know this card will work with the Mac...but how is it accomplished?

    Your easiest & cheapest way to transfer the camera pictures is to buy (about $10 - $20) a USB memory card reader. Just plug your camera's memory card into it & copy the pic files to your Mac. Quicker & easier than interfacing the camera for pic transfer.

  • SDXC card support for cRIO 9031 Linux Real Time

    The cRIO9031 with Linux Real Time did not support SDXC cards. Only SDGC with a maximum of 32GB supported by cRIO.
    For logging application their is a need for more than 32GB => use of SDXC cards with 128/256 GB
     

    Hi Schott,
    Unfortunately, Linux does not have native (in kernel source) support for the exFAT filesystem (required for a device to be labled SDXC). As soon as such a filesystem is supported in Linux, we can enable direct support for exFAT.
    In the meantime, there is nothing preventing you from formatting the card in a filesystem type that is supported on the target. FAT32 is unfortunately the most portable, accessible format, of course if you don't need to access the contents of the card from a Windows machine, you can use some of the tools on the RT controller to format the card in a more robust, journalling filesystem such as EXT4.

  • MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) will not read an SD card in the SDXC card reader. Does anyone know whats going on?

    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) will not read an SD card in the SDXC card reader. Does anyone know whats going on?

    Hi David.  I don't have as modern a Macbook Pro as you, mine is a 2012 model, but perhaps I can help.  I often find that my SD card will not load when I first insert it.  I have to remove it and then put it into the slot again firmly.
    You also haven't posted any information about the SD card.  What size is it, do you know how it is formatted, has it worked in that same mac previously, where did it come from, does it currently work in another device (such as your camera)?  This sort of information will help to narrow down the problem.
    If you post some more information I'm sure people will try to help you.  In the meantime, if you look at your post again you should see "More Like This" at the bottom of the page and you may find an answer in some of those related posts.
    Hope that helps.

  • Yoga 13 SDXC Card Shutsdown Computer and it cannot restart with card installed

    Hi,
    I have read on the forum that people are using the SDXC cards with their Yoga 13's.
    I have purchased a Sandisk 64Gb SDXC ExtremePro card but when I put it into the Card Reader a blue screen comes up saying " Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart." It also gives and error with this message saying: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (TosExt.Sys). It cannot restart again until I remove the card, the same thing happens in SAFE MODE also or if I try to start the computer with the card inserted already. The card is brand new and I bought it in a reputable shop. I have tested the card in a Lenovo ThinkPad X230 and it works fine. I have also tried to insert a different standard SD card into the Yoga but the same thing happens. I have reinstalled the driver for the reader but the problem still remains. The OS is Windows 8 64 bit. The card is in ex FAT format and I re-formatted it again just to be safe but still no luck.
     I was not able to find anything regarding this online but saw that some people here have similar problems.
    I would really appreciate if someone could help or at least let me know if there is a way of contacting Lenovo about this problem, I see that they will only accept emails regarding the ThinkPad product line.
    Thank you in advance and best regards to all!

    I have also problems while inserting a sdcard but not on a Lenovo. I just give here what I observed but I have no direct solution
    1. I bought last year a Samsung chronos and it was impossible to put a sd card. Each time I get the blue screen with the message page_fault_in_non_paged_area (tosExt.sys). When I contacted Samsung they of course do not understand and suggest that I reinitilize completely the computer which I did. At this moment it was possible to insert a sd card without problem but as soon as I have installed my usual sotfwares it came back to the same situation : impossible to put a sd card.
    2. I bought meanwhile a second computer, an Asus Zen book, and got exactly the same problem. Both computer are operated under windows 8 but the upgrade 8.1 does not change anything.
    3. the only way I can read a sd card in both these computers is to use a USB adaptor. In this case there is no problem.
    4. I recently bought a Yoga pro 2 from Lenovo. Surprinsingly with the same kind of sofware installed, I can use directly a sd card.
    This seems to be a tricky problem

  • IPad 4 with camera connection kit doesn't work with 64GB SDXC card on iOS 7.1.1

    I have an iPad 4 and official Apple camera connection kit. Even though ios 7 was supposed to provide compatibility with SDXC cards there is obviously an issue. I'm using 64GB SDXC and 32GB SD cards - both Sandisck Extreme Pro with RAW Canon 5D Mark III files. The 32GB cards work fine - thumbnails appear quickly and pictures import fine. After inserting the 64GB cards thumbnail holders appear very slowly but the thumbnail images do not appear so I cannot import. I'm a pro photographer and I need this functionality so that I can show pictures to clients on location. Any ideas?

    Are the photos on the 64GB card in RAW format? If so, this may apply.

  • How can I import the files from a SDXC card to my iMac?

    When I connect my camcorder to my iMac, the iMac can't read the SDXC card (SanDisk SDXC Ultra 64Gb, 15MB/s).
    The camcorder itself, ofcourse, supports the card.
    Is anyone familiar with this problem?
    I have the latest OS software (10.6.4), and my iMac 24" is an early 2009 model.
    Thanks, in advance.
    B.

    First, copy the card to a hard drive connected to your fcp workstation.  I always back up all card based media at least 2 or three times.  All hard drive will eventually fail.  It's a question of when, not if.
    I'm not familiar with this particular camera, but examine the contents of the copied files and see if you can find any .mov files.  You can try importing these directly into fcp.
    If you don't, you can try something like clipwrap
    http://www.divergentmedia.com/clipwrap
    or
    Magic Bullet Grinder
    http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/
    But, I'd really advise upgrading to at least fcp6 or ideally fcp7 if you can find a copy.  HDV is a problematic format.  Although you can certainly work with it and it's a fcp approved format, converting your media to prores would make your life much easier.

  • Ipad mini not reading SDXC card

    my ipad mini says it cannot read storage media for a SDXC card - okay with SDHC? what can i do> tried reformatting card to NFTS like suggested but no difference

    Hi,
    If you use the iPad Camera Connection Kit, then SDXC cards are supported.
    Using the iPad Camera Conection Kit - this is Apple Support site. It says:
    'Here are the supported SD cards and image-transfer protocols:
    Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP)
    Mass Storage Device protocol
    SDSC
    SDHC
    miniSD
    microSD

    SDXC (supported only when not formatted as ExFAT)'

  • SDXC Card Support Under iOS 7?

    I have not yet upgraded to iOS 7, but I heard that SDXC card formats are now supported under iOS 7 where they were not under iOS 6.
    Does anyone know? I have a 64GB SDXC card I use in my camera which cannot be transferred back and forth to download photos because the formatting is not supported under iOS 6.

    According to Apple's support article SDXC is supported.

  • Run Windows 8.1 Pro on a SDXC card via VMware Fusion

    Hi everyone,
    I'm kinda new to the whole Mac story.
    Have been using iPhone and iPad from day one, but never could get myself to go off Windows.
    Well, a few weeks ago I bought myself a 13.3" MBP (Mid 2014 - 11.1 model).
    It's the retina one with a 256GB SSD in it.
    Now my question is...
    I have a license from work for VMware Fusion 7, and I need some programs to run on Windows.
    But I don't wan't to partition my drive and run it via bootcamp, I want to keep my Mac clean.
    Does anyone have experience or know if I can run this on a SDXC card?
    I would use a 128GB SDXC card with 60MB/s write and 80MB/s read.
    Can I stick this SD into the slot, install Windows 8.1 Pro via Fusion on this card and let it run on a decent level?
    Thanks in advance,
    And with best regards,
    Sonicje

    Thank you for the fast responds.
    I took a look into it and you are right.
    The read/write speed is much higher and cheaper.
    But, like I said, I'm nog willing to share my drive with Windows.
    So I'm going to buy a 64GB USB stick (less than 60 euro) and going to install it on that source.
    With 64GB I've some extra space for the futher if I need to work with more Windows only programs.
    Thanks again for the advice!
