HT1338 HOW can I erase an SD card from my computer?

HOW CAN I erase an SD card when in my computer after uploading what I wanted  to save to computer?

Roger: That is a perfect description of how to properly and successfully eject or unmount an SD card, but I think the question is not that, but rather how to ERASE the files on the SD card, prior to ejection.
Freddied: I don't have a lot of experience with this, but I think it's possible to treat an SD card exactly as you would any other attached external drive. Thus, to erase what's on it, the steps I would take are this:
1. Prior to putting the SD card in, make sure your computer's existing Trash is empty. If it isn't currently empty, then empty it.
2. Put the SD card in.
3. Double click its icon to see a window of its contents.
4. Most likely (if the card is full of pictures from a camera) the files you want to erase are buried within various folders in a hierarchy created by the camera's OS. Burrow through the folders until you find the files you want to erase.
5. Drag the unwanted files to the Trash icon on your Dock or desktop, or alternately highlight them and hit Command-Delete.
6. Once you have found and thrown away all unwanted files, then choose "Empty Trash" from the Finder menu.
7. THEN follow the ejection procedure described by Roger above.
NOTE: It's probably not a good idea to just Trash and Erase everything on the SD card, because the files and folders on it are part of the hierarchy put there by the camera's OS, and if you mess it up, you'll likely have to reformat the card in your camera again.
Also NOTE: It's actually preferable to erase pictures off an SD card within the camera, not on your computer. What I do in your situation is to NOT erase files from the SD card while it is plugged into my computer, but rather later when it's back in the camera, using the camera's menus and whatever method that model uses to erase photos.
If, however, you are storing non-image non-camera files on your SD card, then use the steps I outlined above.
Hope this helps.

    How can i remove my credit card from my apple id

    Here's some more detail:
    You have to do this from ITunes on your computer.  You can't do it from itunes.com.
    First start ITunes.  On the left side of the screen, go to Store and then ITunes Store.  From the Quicklinks on the right side of the screen, go to Account.  After you sign in, you will see your account and payment information.  Click on Edit next to Payment Type.  Click None, next to Visa MasterCard Amex Discover.  It will then remove your credit card from your ITunes Account.

    How can I remove my credit card from my account?

    On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link.  If you are doing it on an iOS device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account  - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

    You've logged into your account and viewed your purchase history and there aren't any error messages shown (e.g. 'problem with a previous purchase'), and you haven't got any purchases due (e.g. pre-orders and/or subscriptions) : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information ?

  • How can i erase my .me mails from my iPhone and keep them in the server

    how can i erase my .me mails from my iPhone and keep them in the server

    You can't. The iPhone doesn't actually store all your emails anyway. It is showing you what is on the server directly.
    Only the most recently accessed emails are cached (stored temporarily) on your phone for access when you are offline. If you delete an email from your iPhone, you are actually deleting it from the server.

  • HT201328 My iPhone is from Japan and I want to activate it here in the Philippines because I'm living here. I have lost the original SIM from Softbank and replaced it with a new SIM card from Globe. How can I use the SIM card from Globe?

    My iPhone is from Japan and I want to activate it here in the Philippines because I'm living here. I have lost the original SIM from Softbank and replaced it with a new SIM card from Globe. How can I use the SIM card from Globe?

    You cannot. The iPhone is locked to Softbank, and only they can unlock it. Problem is that Softbank will NOT unlock the phone, as they do not offer iPhone unlocking.
    Buy an iPhone in the Phillipines.
    PS Before you go on a rant at Apple, be aware that Apple does NOT unlock phones and they do not set unlocking policies. The carriers (Softbank in this case) set the unlocking policy.
