Media Card Undetected!

I accidentally removed the Curve (connected as USB) to the PC. Phone was on and the it can't detect the media card's presence (can't access files 0 music, 0 pics). I tried to reset it (turn off, remove and put card back) and the phone was still having the problem. And recently, I clicked the "repair" on options but to no avail, it didn't work...
Worse, I took a couple of pictures and CAN'T FIND THOSE on the pictures folder... Blank, there's nothing. Even the album cover for the free song on the phone is gone.
This is the sole problem. The files can be seen from the PC, but not from the phone.
Kindly do help if this can be resolved.... Thanks

Hi kekcoke and welcome to the forums.
There are a couple of things you can try:
1) Remove the media card and try it with any other devices that you have that support the card. If that works, take a backup and format the card.
2) If your computer or laptop supports the media card (with an SD adapter, of course) see if you can get a backup there and format the card.
3) Insert another media card in its place and see if that works (this will eliminate the possibility of a hardware fault on your medica card reader on the Blackberry)

  • HOW CAN I GET MY DATA BACK ON MEDIA CARD AFTER WIPING DEVICE

    please help, i wiped my device clean then did a back up and everything was back except the things i had on my media card. how do i get it back?

    When  you wiped your device, there is an option which you must check in order to wipe your Media card, did you have that checked or unchecked?
    I am afraid that the Media Card in included in the backup of the device memory.

  • Panasonic HDC-SD100 media card unable to capture on Final Cut Express 4

    No problems at all with transfer to i-movie but just purchased final cut express 4 and problems with capturing from the media card. Signal system on camera is 1080/50i. Have tried setting HD and 1080/50i in the easy set up but no joy. Have tried log and transfer and see clips but on transfer message states no data. Can anyone help with the settings please?
    Many thanks in advance

    Welcome to the forum!
    There are many things that could cause this, and almost all have been discussed.
    Some things to try:
    • In the Log and Transfer window, click the preferences button (the gear in the upper right). Make sure audio is set to *Plain Stereo*
    • Also in that preferences window, click the button to *Clear the Cache*
    Also, what drive are you using to capture to (internal or external)? How is it formatted, and how much space is left on that drive?

  • Hp pavilion dv4-1123us Media Card won't read

    I have a hp Pavilion dv4-1123us laptop that won't read a 16 GB SDHC media card. The card works in my PC, so the card is good. I have a Scandisk 5-1 media reader hooked to my home PC that would not read it but I found through Scandisk site I needed to download the latest Firmware which I did and now the card works on my PC. The reader has always and still does read a 512 MB and a 2 GB XD cards on my laptop. I am running XP Pro OS.
    I have searched the HP site for driver downloads but only see them for Windows 7 and 8 not XP.
    Can someone help me on this?

    Hello wgray826,
    You’re having a problem not being able to read a 16GB SDHC card.
    I think that your computer does not support the SDHC card.
    Here is a link to your user guide and what cards it supports.
    I noticed that it shows the Secure Digital but not the Secure Digital High Capacity.
    Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
    Let me know how everything goes.
    Have a good day.

  • Cannot copy file from desktop to media card

    Whenever I try to copy a file from my desktop to my media card I get an error. When I use the desktop manager software I get the message 'one or more files cannot be copied: FILE_NAME'. When I use Windows Explorer to try the same thing I get the message 'Cannot copy FILE_NAME: parameter is incorrect'.
    I do have a proper connection from the desktop to the blackberry because I can open files on the media card and update them. I just have the problem copying the files.
    I have been able to copy the files from the desktop to the device memory. Then move it from the device memory to the media card. But there should be no difference between the device memory and the media card.
    Note: The file I am trying to copy is a data file (.PDF). While I was having the same problem with music files, I found if I went into advanced parameters from desktop manager and specified the audio file type & bitrate I was able to copy the music file without errors.
    I have a blackberry curve 8300
    16GB media card

    When I try to move the files from the Finder Window with the files on the DVD, I do not get the plus sign when I try to drag it to the desktop or any other window. Even when I try with the option key pressed, there is no plus sign with the mouse arrow. Someone suggested to use the terminal and I did. It was a hassle, though.

  • Problem with storing pictures to the Media Card

    I set my 8330 to store pictures to the media card.  It works for a while and then the device reverts to storing it on the device memory.  It does this without asking or telling me that it's done so.  It's very frustrating.  Anybody have any idea why it would do this?

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    That's a very odd situation. Can you tell us, when this happens, does your BB "see" the media card at all? For instance, if when you notice this, can you do Media > Explore and get to the media card still?
    Another thing to check is your device OS version -- perhaps there is an update from your carrier that has fixes that would be useful...you can check your carrier via this portal:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/dow​nload_sites.jsp
    If your device OS is current, then you might want to try a different media card...perhaps there is something amiss with the one you have. 
    Also, how to do you go about recovering and getting it to again store on the media card?
    Thanks!

  • Problem with OS 10.2.0.424 and Media Card Encryption

    Several weeks ago I upgraded to OS 10.2.0.424.  Everything went fine, no problems.  My phone worked perfectly.
    Then over one week later I turned my phone on in the morning and after it had booted it said "your media card was encrypted on a different device.  You will need to reformat your media card on this device before you can use it".
    Now, the following should be noted very carefully:  THE MEDIA CARD WAS BOUGHT SPECIFICALLY FOR MY Z10, IT WAS FORMATTED IN THE SAME HANDSET, ENCRYPTED IN THE SAME HANDSET AND HAS ***NEVER*** BEEN OUT OF THE HANDSET.
    As far as I am concerned, this is a fault with the upgrade.  Having looked on Crackberry.com I see many other users having a similar problem.  I am fortunate in that I do weekly backups of my handset including the media card.  However I am reluctant to use my media card again in case this problem recurs.
    I tried contacting Blackberry help on Twitter however I can only assume that the Blackberry Twitter team are sub-contractors who don't work for BT as their advice was along the lines of "have you tried rebooting?  You have?  Oh well, you'll need to speak to your mobile provider as there's nothing we can do."
    Please, Blackberry, can you acknowledge this fault and advise what your timescale is for resolution?
    A dissatisfied loyal Blackberry customer.

    If the user removes the media card from the BlackBerry device and places it in a new BlackBerry device, the new BlackBerry device cannot decrypt any files that the first BlackBerry device encrypted on the media card using a randomly generated device key. If the first BlackBerry device encrypted the files on the media card using the BlackBerry device password, when the user removes the media card from the BlackBerry device and places it in a new BlackBerry device, the new BlackBerry device prompts the user for the password used on the first BlackBerry device to access the files on the new device.
    The above is from BlackBerry:
    I can only assume that Upgrading is like changing Devices, so before Upgrading save all data.
    Someone else with more knowledge about encryption and seeing this post may respond.

  • Can not access the media card files Blackberry 8310 - HELP

    Can not access the media card files Blackberry 8310.
     I had a battery drain problem. The unit would only last 16 hours before completely drained. Purchased a new battery with the same result. I figured that I should try a complete reset so I did a hard wipe. Once that was done and I loaded the unit back up and returned online, the battery drain problem was resolved but now I can not access the media card.
     Here are the messages:
     “A media card has been inserted that contains encrypted content which will be unaccessible by this device”
     I can see the files. I have transferred them to my PC via the SD card but I can not open them. Here are the settings:
     Media card support – ON
    Encryption Mode: - Security Password & Device
    Encrypt Media Files – YES
    Mass Storage Mode Support – OFF
     Please note – I can not change the encryption mode since it is set by policy
     Security Options – General Settings – Content Protection – Disabled
     The version of Desktop Manage I am using is 4.2.1.8. When I try to use the Media Manager to move the files, I get an error message and can’t move the file. If I access the file on the card and try to display it, I get:
     Unable to display file /media card/ pictures/ing000000xx.jpg.rem
     Here is what I have tried (from the advice on this board):
     1)     Read the files directly off the media card – No good
    2)     Create a “new” folder on the media card and move a file into it then try to read it – No good
    3)     Email the file then read it – No good
    4)     Reset Encryption mode to off then try – Can’t do it – IT Policy setting
    5)     Be sure that the password was set the same as before the wipe (setting is password & device) – Can’t do it – The Blackberry prevents me from using an old password.
     So I think I can’t read the files because I can’t replicate the encryption key. Could that be right? My problem is that I do not understand why this would be the case. It is still the same device and since it knows what the old password was (because it would prevent me from using it again), why would it not generate a key to access the files?
     All I am trying to get off the card are pictures on my 6 year old … some are priceless. Can someone help me do this? One would think that this should not be this hard but from all the postings I have found, it seems that it is. And yes, shame on me for not moving the files before I did the reset (THAT will never happen again!) but this being unrecoverable is unconscionable given how many seem to find themselves in this situation.
     Thanks for any help you can offer!

    Not sure why you couldn't see them using mass storage mode. Did you have the pics stored on your media card? Try going to media-menu-explore-media card-blackberry-pictures See what the extension is on your pics. If any have the extension such as .jpg.rem they are encrypted.

  • Uninstalling Watsapp seems to have corrupted my pics! Cant view pics on media Card...

    OK, so watsapp went mental, despite doing several battery pulls it remained crazy. So, of course, the next step would be to delete and reinstall. So I deleted the app. I now find that I cannot open all the pictures on my media card :/ It takes ages to index and though the pics are definately there (file manager showing % of memory card free) I cant get to them. I cant pick up from the PC either - blackberry link isnt picking up anything on my card OR device...(however it HAS taken off 16 random pics and put into a folder in my documents; which incidentally, I cant seem to restore to my z10).
    Now I know what you're thinking; memory card has somehow been corrupted right? Well...No because I can view ALL my videos, music and 352 pictures (about 510 are inaccessible). I know it cant be the card as the pictures i can see are a complete mix match of dates from 2009 to present but all randomly mixed up :/
    I have re-installed watsapp and all convos have backed up...
    I have the latest softwarre so its not that. I can access everything on the card from PC but cant get them over into the link :/ WHY did BB have to make it like it has? (If it aint broke dont fix it!) The software was ace, you could just drag and drop. There is no 'restore' option or anything on my BB link.
    I am going to do the obvious - battery pull again. If no joy then rebook with no sim. Still no joy Reboot with no media card. I dont know what else to do.
    If I format the card will I lose all the pictures on it? I cant backup to the link either - there is no option :/
    Can anyone help me? PLEASE

    Hey MissKitten,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    Just to clarify, you are not able to view the contents of the media card on your PC as well? (Not through BlackBerry Desktop Software but through My Computer).
    I would suggest formatting the SD card, however formatting the SD card will erase all data.  So I would attempt to back it up if possible.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • MicroSD Media Card is not being recognized by my BB 8100

    Hi,
    I currently have that problem with my Blackberry Pearl 8100.
    I put it a New 1 GB MicroSD (Patriot) card and connected the cable to the PC and on the PC I created a folder and added the music to it and pictures.  It worked fine but one day I took the SIM card out just because and when my phone restarted it would not go pass the providers screen. It stays there, it seems it freezes and it cannot be turned off.  So, I took the media card out and turned it on and it displays the screen with no problem. So again I turned it off and installed the card back in and it still the same problem. I also somehow I installed the media card in the phone without taking the battery out but it still doesn't recognize the card. Under Options says card is not installed.
    The first time I installed the card I don't think it was formatted(not sure). But it was working fine.
     I have installed another card and it still doesn't recognize another card. Also,the media card I tried it on another phone and it is not recognized. 
    Why would it work the first time as BrandonV(below) but not even locate it or make the phone not work while it has the Media card in?
    BrandonV, if you found a solution please let me know.
    Anyone else be kind enough to propose a solution.
    Thanks,
    Gaby
    this was someone trying to help out:
    Don't know why the BB would stop seeing the media card, but as far as your important stuff... have you tried putting the card into a reader hooked up to the PC to at least retrieve that stuff or move it to that other card that does work?
    Sorry that's all I can think of.

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    Try this.
    1) With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery.
    2) Remove the media card
    3) Insert the battery and replace the back cover.
    4) After boot up (~5 mins), check your Memory stats to be sure that is says that no media card is present.
    5) Pull out the battery again
    6) Put the media card back in and then insert the battery and reboot
    7) Launch the Media app and see if it is "Scanning" the media card (as it does for any new media card insertion).
    Best!

  • Device instance error, vista can't see media card

    hello,
    I have a pearl 8110, with desktop 6 and vista.  After upgrading to version 6 I get this device instance error and specifically can't load any media onto the memory card via usb. 
    USB\VID_0FCA&PID_8001\5&3100FCC1&0&5
    been through the forums for months tracking this down on how to clear it.  Downloaded the calfix.exe program as that was the only clue that related to the 8001 error, ran it and nothing, did not work.  Fix was for versions 4.7 to ver 5.
    I can sync, load and upgrade BB software without any problems, tried two different memory card manufacturers, formatted card, pulled battery so many time don't ask me to do it again.  mass storage mode is on, but software keeps telling me to turn it on even though its already on, been on since day one!  Everything works via bluetooth, pictures, video, mp3, but windows just can't see the memory card.
    Also went through the computer management to loocate the drive, but no luck?
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix?

    Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums.
    Are you attempting the format or looking at the Media Card from the BB WHILE you are plugged to the USB?
    Unplug and try it all again.

  • When I try to import pictures from media card to iPhoto, I'm getting the error 'The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format.'  The file is a jpeg and I've never had this problem before.

    When I try to import pictures from media card to iPhoto, I'm getting the error 'The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format.'  The file is a jpeg and I've never had this problem before.

    What version of iPhoto?
    What colour profile is the shot?
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Can't retrieve pics or video from the media card in curve 8320

    Hi. New & dumb to smartphones, so this 8320 is a big step into the current world. It was cheap, works great & I'm slowly getting it figured out.
    Only one issue so far. When I took pics without a media card & they were stored on the device, I could use the desktop software to transfer them to my computer.
    After I installed a media card, even though the the pics & videos are stored on the card and I can view them on the phone, the desktop software doesn't see them. It only shows the device. In the options menu, the media card support is on, & mass storage mode is enabled,
    When I plug the phone in to the computer, even though the computer beeps to show connection & the BB desktop software shows the phone connected, windows explorer does not recognize an external drive (phone) and in the desktop software there is no option for storing the pics on anything other than the device. I can remove the card & use a card reader to transfer the pics, but the BB software can't see them.
    What am I missing?

    Before start receiving the pictures in your blackberry device go to media, press menu and receive using bluetooth.
    After this start the file transfer and you'll be ok. 
    If I help you with any inquire, thank you for click kudos in my post.
    If your issue has been solved, please mark the post was solved.
