How to unlock memory card

Depending on the memory card you are using, there is a lock switch located at the side or the back that you can use to unlock the memory card. Please refer to the illustration below for more information.

  • How to unlock memory card nokia 5310

    i just updated my nokia 5310 firmware from 5.81 to 8.32 and now my memory card has locked itself.

    The phone's lock code does return to the default 12345 after a firmware update with phones that do not support UDP (User Data Preservation).
    The MMC password does not get reset to the factory default simply because there is no factory default for that.
    The file in the phone's memory containing the MMC password is erased when the software is updated, which means that the phone no longer remembers the password. The phone then prompts the user for it, which is when they wish they'd made a note of it somewhere!

  • How to format Memory card in N79 and 5630 Xpressmu...

    Hi everyone,
    I am using N79 amd 5630 Xpressmusic. Can any body tell me how to format the memory card in these sets. Coz in file manager there is no option to format memory card.
    Regards

    Hi Sappal,
    To format the memory card follow the below procedure:
    1. Go to "File Manager-> Memory Card" (I've named the memory card as N79).
    2. You will need to open the memory card and then go to its "Options" menu.
    3. Go to "Memory Card Options-> Format" and confirm.
    Please note that the memory card will not get formatted unless every application is closed and you have not installed any third party applications on it. For this, you will have to uninstall any third party applications and only then proceed with the memory card formatting procedure.
    Let me know if you need any assistance. My id is

  • How to swap memory card with all apps, data etc.

    Hi,
    Currently I have a 2GB memory card on my E63 (latest firmware), which has 3 'paid-for' applications and several free downloaded applications, loads of mp3s etc. I have purchased a 4GB memory card already, and would like to "do something" that would help me retain the entire contents of the current 2GB memory card, onto the 4GB memory card, s.t. apart from extra file space (which I plan to use for photos, videos, music), all other applications and current content remain available on the new card, w/o any other impact. I believe that backing up and restoring via 'Nokia PC Suite' won't save my apps, and only some of the data. E.g. it won't save the eBooks I have.
    Thanks in anticipation for the help.
    cheers.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Easy.
    Connect the E63 in "mass storage" mode.
    Go into "My Computer", open the removable drive that will have appeared when you connected the phone. Enable the display of hidden and system objects (this bit is crucial, but I don't know how to do this not being a Windows user myself).
    Once you have the display of all objects enabled, create a new folder on your desktop and then copy all of the files/folders in the phone over to it.
    Next, disconnect the phone and eject the memory card. Insert the new one and format it in the phone (that'll be in your phone's manual).
    Reconnect the phone in mass storage mode. Grab all the objects in the folder that you created on your desktop, including hidden and system objects, and drag'n'drop them over to the phone.
    Disconnect the phone once everything has been copied over -- don't forget to use the "safely disconnect USB device" thing in the computer's notification zone.
    Job done.

    If your phone is an S40 phone (which it is in your case) and you don't have a USB card reader then your only options are to remember the password (somebody set one even if it wasn't you) or to buy a new memory card.

  • How to chane memory card name in N85 ?

    Please tell me step by step how can i do that ... thank you

    Assuming you are using a PC running Windoze, connect your phone in Mass storage mode (Plug in your phone, select Mass storage from the pop-up. If you don't get any pop ups to choose the mode, go to Data Cable settings, change it to "Ask on connecton"). Right click on the new drive that is shown in My Computer, and select "Rename". Or, left click on the drive, press F2, to enter a new name.

  • Remote lock & Memory card corrupted issue

    Remote lock & Memory card corrupted issue
    Hi Dear Friends,
    You might have experienced the "Memory card corrupted issue."
    Don't panic! The solution is here!
    Your memory card is just 'locked', it isn't 'corrupted'!
    For sure, this post would be of great help to you, if:
    • You have enabled the "Remote lock" feature of your Nokia device.
    • You have sent the remote lock message to your device and locked it remotely.
    Finding the solution really took me a lot of time. I was inspired by various posts on the Discussion, and decided to find the official notes on the issue. So would like to thank those who shared their tips, and helped us solve this problem.
    I'm using E66, (you might use something else), and would refer to E51's and E65's User guide so often.
    Of course, I'm not going to explain the instructions, and recommend you to refer to your user guides when needed.
    On the contrary, I'm going to explain what may not be mentioned in your user guides.
    Let’s Begin
    What Has Happened:
    In short, you attempted to test the feature, your phone was locked, you keyed in the lock code, code was accepted, you used the phone for a while, switched it off, powered it on, you were prompted the Lock code, you keyed in the lock code, code was accepted, you attempted to view some stuff that was on your memory card, you didn't find it, you tried to run a program that was installed on your memory card, the program icon didn't open, you put the memory card in the card reader and connected it to PC, it was not detected, you went to Menu> Tools> Memory card> You saw "Memory card corrupted"!
    Don't, don't select the Yes selection key if you got the caution message, "Memory Card corrupted, reformat it?" because your memory card isn't corrupted, it's simply being locked!
    But you can't find the unlock memory card command in Menu> Tools> Memory card> Options.
    So? What to DO?
    1. (This step is optional) Disable the Remote lock feature.
    (Refer to your user guides) and change Allow Remote Lock> to no.
    Then, while the unit is on,
    2. Press the power key briefly, and select Remove memory card.
    3. Remove the memory card from the slot.
    4. Press OK if prompted.
    5. Reinsert the memory card in the slot.
    6. Reopen Menu> Tools> Memory card.
    Is your memory card detected? If yes!
    7. Follow tips number 2 & 3 of What to Know section below.
    Did you get "Password removed" message?
    If no, be careful of the case of the first character.
    If you had changed the Remote lock message many times, use the one that was practically sent to the device via text message.
    . In case you had set a password on your memory card before, you may also attempt to unlock the locked memory using your own password, not the first eight characters of the remote lock message.
    Step seven would make the memory card detectable to the connected card reader to the PC too.
    8. The memory card is detected temporarily, but it is locked and the "memory card corrupted" issue reappears every time you switch off/on the phone, unless you successfully complete step seven.
    What to Know?
    Official User guide Tips:
    1. Remote locking also locks your memory card. (E51 page100)
    . Yes, the one mobile phone that sends your device the predefined remote locking message, receives the confirmation message in response, indicating, "Mobile telephone and memory card are locked". But it isn't written in E66's and E65's.
    2. To unlock the memory card, select Menu> Tools> Memory> Options> Remove password, and "enter the remote locking message as the password". (E51 page100)
    . Yes, quite clear, but the quoted part ("enter the remote locking message as the password") isn't written on my E66's User guide, and there's a vague precaution on E65's, (refer to number 4).
    3. If the message is longer than 8 characters, the first 8 characters are used as the memory card password. (E51 page100)
    . Yes, quite clear good E51, but I don't own you; I have E66 your little sister. I owe my memory card's survival to nice users on the Discussion.
    4. The maximum number of characters allowed is 8. Using more than 8 characters could prevent unlocking the memory card and require reformatting it. If reformatting the memory card is required, all information on the card will be lost. (E65 page28)
    . Quite interesting, but it contradicts what good E51 says in number three¡!
    . And it contradicts my own experience of the issue (and some other users' on the Discussion) too, since my E66's memory card accepted the 'first eight characters' of the 'ten-character long’ remote lock message that I had previously used to remote lock it.
    . The first three tips are quite important and shouldn't have been excluded from E66's and E65's user guides. I don't have the time to download and review all the user guides that support this feature, but at least I read some user manuals and also got the impression (from the posts on the discussion) that there had been not enough information on E66's, E65's, E71's, N96's, and some others.
    You may like to do a simple search on Google:
    "The first 8 characters are used as the memory card password" site:nokia.com
    Since the content of the user guides on the server seem not be searchable for any reason, you won't find any official support result except those of the good users on the Discussions. And the 'Nokia Site Search" brings no result too. (At least on the date of this post).
    ¡ Terribly sorry for those who have selected Yes to the Reformat caution message. It wasn't your fault. But there's an idiom that says, sleep on it! "Think about it for a while before coming up with a decision".
    But now that you have tested the feature and know its solution, don't be afraid, and enable the Remote lock feature again! God forbid, but it may be needed one day!

    Dear, I guess, / This article doesn't suit your case. / • You have not enabled the "Remote lock" feature of your Nokia device. / • You have not locked your device remotely. / Because you don't know where the remote lock is and haven't played with its settings. / You need to explain what has happened. / The only thing we get is that your memory card doesn't open. / 1. your phone model, e.g., 5130. / 2. What did you do recently that might have caused this issue? / 3. What methods did you try to unlock it? / Use some of the tips provided above. (except number 1). / Yours

  • My Memory Card Reader is not Working...

    I was Purchased LENOVO 3000 N200 notebook last month. All devices and working properly. But my MEMORY CARD READER (5 in 1) is not working. I was downloaded drivers and installed in my laptop, but when i'm inserting memory card in to slot it is not showing any message in my laptop. But Green LED is blinking.
    Please give me instructions how to use MEMORY CARD READER...
    ashok

    Although the best way to read your memory card, memory card readers can be a pain. I've had a few I've just thrown out. Make sure the USB connection to the port is fully seated. Make sure the memory card is fully seated in the reader. Do you have an SD card because the reader in the iMac is by far the most reliable I've used.

  • How do I download /export my iPhotos to a memory card on my camera?

    I am trying to "organize" my camera memory cards, which I want use as a back up rather than just using external or USB drives. I can not find how to Export photos to a new memory card in my camera.
    The reason I want to do this is because when I've saved on a USB or External Drive, the photos are zipped, & then when I uploaded back to my mac (when I needed to get a new one), the dpi & KB is really low (270 x 360 & 54 KB compared to over 2000 x 1500 & 255 KB for recent photos!)
    The iPhoto help manuals & Apple site helps don't address this exporting, only how to export to Email & the web.
    I was told by someone USB & ED's "don't change the size" (it does zip them) & to increase the dpi & KB on those, just "double click" on each photo in the iPhoto app - didn't work! So any other better / real ideas how to increase the dpi/KB would be more than welcome, as I can't print any of my older photos, the size is too small!
    Mille Grazie, Gracias, Merci, Danka

    PS - My camera is a Canon Power Shot A590. Last time this was discussed was in 2006, & suggested to "buy a usb plug in card reader & drag photos ..."
    Still the answer since Canon Camera's will not mount to the desktop
    I am trying to "organize" my camera memory cards, which I want use as a back up rather than just using external or USB drives.
    Why? memory cards are not very reliable - using Time Machine and an external hard drive is a MUCH better way to backup - I run TM so I have hourly backups - do a daily bootable clone - ane I never have iPhoto delete my photos when I import them so I have the originals too - and if you really want a backup on your memory card this is the way to have one - do not delete when importing
    The reason I want to do this is because when I've saved on a USB or External Drive, the photos are zipped, & then when I uploaded back to my mac (when I needed to get a new one), the dpi & KB is really low (270 x 360 & 54 KB compared to over 2000 x 1500 & 255 KB for recent photos!)
    This is user error - not in any way a function of backing up to an external Drive - a properly done backup and restore gives you exactly what you had whe you did the backup - that is the whole purpose of a backup - and it works perfectly if done correctly
    I was told by someone USB & ED's "don't change the size" (it does zip them) & to increase the dpi & KB on those, just "double click" on each photo in the iPhoto app - didn't work! So any other better / real ideas how to increase the dpi/KB would be more than welcome, as I can't print any of my older photos, the size is too small
    this is a very cofussed set of statements
    1 - no backup "changes the size" of the photos - the entire purpose of a backup is to have an exact copy available in case of problems
    2 - Most backups do not zip photos - some do - zipping does not change the content when you unzip
    3 - DPI is not an atribute of a photo - it is a mathmatical caculation - dots (pixels) divided by inches - you do not have DPI until you have inches (either a display or a print)
    4 - the only way to "change" DPI is ot change inches - for a given photo the only way DPI can be increased is by printing a smaller photo - decreasing inches
    5 - the KB of a photo is not material - the only things that is interesting is the pixel dimensions - and you can not make them larger
    Basically you are chasing the wrong things - buy an external drive formatted Mac OS extended that is 2 1/2 times the size of your main drive and run Time Mahcine all the time with its default settings
