How do I correctly wipe an SDHC card?

I transfer all the MOV files off of my JVC HM100U and then put the card back in the camera. It usually tells me that a recovery is required before recording/playback... so I do and it takes a minute but then the camera's ready to record again. But then I notice that on a clean SDHC card (16GB) I should have 56 minutes of recording time... it only says I have 52mins. I then format the card and everything is fine.
Is there a way to do this where I don't have to "recover" or "format" my cards every time?

Hi -
My two cents -
have +the camera+ format the card whenever possible. It will save you many, many headaches later.
There have been many posts about memory cards with corrupted directories and the machinations required to recover the media.
I make it a Standard Operating Procedure - once the media files are off the card, the card gets formatted by the camera before the next use.

  • How do I write to an SDHC card? My iMac doesn't seem to recognize it.

    How do I write to an SDHC card? It read a couple of my cards from camcorders, but I have others that it won't recognize. I don't see any software for writing. I can read and write CDs OK.

  • HT4101 Is there a way to transfer pictures on iPad to the SDHC card?

    I have read the iPad camera kit connection information but did not understand how to transfer pictures to a SDHC card.  Is there something else to read to obtain instructions?  Thanks.

    Thanks for your response.  I have used up all my cloud space with picture and videos.  Thought I'd use such cards to manage and store them there.  I would probably have the same situation if I was trying to export from iPad to an external hard drive, huh?  I sure appreciate your time and thoughts on this.  I'm going to try to load to laptop and then to the card.  Thanks again.

  • Does anyone know how to upload footage from an SDHC to mac not using FCP or imovie?

    Does anyone know how to upload footage from an SDHC card on a mac that doesn't involve using Final Cut Pro or iMovie? Those don't have many options for import/encoding settings. They also upload the clips into an enormous file size. I always have to re-export them in MPEG streamclip or Compressor to lower the file size and it's getting annoying. HELP!

    Won't help the size methinks, but does Image Capture work?

    Apple also sells the Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader for US$29. No computer necessary - handy if you're out shooting important pics and want to check them on a larger screen right away.

    Well, this question really belongs in the iTunes forum, which is where you will get fast answers.
    Just go to iTunes Preferences.  Click on the General icon.  Set When you insert a CD to Ask to Import CD.  Click on Import Settings.  Set Import to MP3 decoder.  Make sure you're using Good Quality.
    This should deal with your CD's.
    With your current music, as long as it does not have DRM restrictions (older iTunes Music did), select the song, right click on the song (or group of songs), pull down to Create MP3 version. 

  • HT1349 I have an iPad (1).  Connected a camera connection kit, then inserted a SDHC card.  Nothing happened.  How do I get the photos off the card onto the iPad?

    I have an iPad (1).  Trying to load photos.  Connected a camera kit, inserted an SDHC card with photos.  Nothing....  How do I get the photos loaded onto the iPad?

    At first glance, your iPad should have reacted to the presence of the SDHC card.
    Are you sure the card is SDHC and not SDXC?  I do not think the newer XC format is compatible with the SD adapter in the Camera Connection Kit.
    How did the photos get on the card?  The iPad expects them to be in the same format as if they had been stored there by the camera.  They should be in a folder named DCIS.  Their file names should have 8 characters plus suffix.
    Have you tried connecting the camera's USB cable to the USB adapter in the Camera Connection Kit?

  • Nikon D800 raw files taken with Sandisk extreme plus 32GB SDHC card got corrupted. Able to preview them in Lightroom4.4 Library, but not able to import or transfer the files from card to computer. Any ideas on how to save images from Library Window in Lig

    Hi, I have shot few pictures on 31st December night in RAW mode using Nikon D800 and Sandisk extreme plus 32GB SDHC card. It looks like card got some memory errors so not able to transfer the files from Card to computer. However I am able to view the pics thru Lightroom ver 4.4 Library, but when I tried to import them, it gives me an error stating that file can't be read.
    Is there a way to save the pics from Library window in lightroom overcoming the card read errors ?
    Thanks in advance

  • Elements 9: Have lost ability to load in new photos from my SDHC card - "No program associated"

    Folks
    First post in this Forum, hope you can help!
    When I insert my SDHC card, I no longer am able to import photos from the card into Elements.  I get the AutoPlay window OK......
    Auto Play -> Organize and Edit with Adobe Elements Organizer 9.0
    however when I click t he Adobe Organizer link, I get:
    "This program does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or associate an action .... "
    It worked fine for the past 18 months!  I upgraded to Elements 9 about 6 months ago, no issues until recently.    I am guessing some WIndows update has broken this.  Any suggestions?  how can I fix?
    (I am using a Dell Sudio 17 PC with Windows 7 64 bit installed).  I have Adobe Elements 9 and Premiere Elements 9 installed (and not a lot else to be honest)
    Many thanks!

    Hi
    thanks again for replying.  Sorry for taking a long time to get back to you, however I decided to reinstall.  And I only just got time to do the reinstall
    Unfort your suggestion didn't make it work!  It just brought up the dialog automatically with the message ""This program does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or associate an action .... ""
    Reinstalling didn't help either - which realy surprised me. I had expected that some program that had installed had disrupted the configuration somehow, that cause this failure message to occur. And I hoped that re-installation would correct this. However as I say the same behavior still happens, even after the reinstall
    I have also tried to change jpg file association to Elements Organiser .... again no change.  (This not what I want btw - I want elements photo uploader to be invoked when I insert the SDHC card - this is a different requirement from opening a JPEG direct into Elements)
    So I think this is an Auto Play issue, not a file association issue.
    I have tried changing the control panel defaul programs etc - however it all looks fine to me  e.g. the default action for media insertion (memory card) is "Organize and Edit with Adobe Elements Organiser 9" - specifially under "Change Autoplay Setting" this item is shownb correctly.  The issue (still) seems to be that the OS cannot map this to an actionable program.
    As before, any solution/insight appreciated!
    Thanks once again, 99jon, for your prompt responses and apologies for not getting back to you asap last time

  • SDHC card in the DVD slot

    A co-worker put an SDHC card in the DVD slot of our work's iMac.  How in the heck am I supposed to get it out?
    Let me stress: A co-worker.  Not me.  Seriously.

    Some people have had luck by shutting it down, unplugging it, and then holding it with the slot down and very gently shake it a bit. Or, take it to the Genius Bar!
    Also, please make sure your profile is correct - it's showing a PPC and a very old OS.
