Media card wont read on phone or PC. "Media card can not be accessed due to fatal errors"

I've had my blackberry curve 8520 for over a year and never had any problems with the media card until now. I'm unable to look at any pictures, videos or music on my phone as i can not install the media card on my phone. I'm unable to repair it and format it also. The media card will also not be read when I plug it into my laptop with the USB. 
I definitely know its the media card and not my phone itself as I've tried my brothers media card in my phone and it worked perfectly. When i put my media card in his phone, it did the same thing and came up with the same error.
Does anyone know how i'll be able to make the media card read in my phone or my pc so I can backup the data as I don't really want to lose it all?
Any help appreciated,
Thanks! 

From what you describe, the data that was on the media card is already gone. If the PC cannot read it and the BB cannot read it, then it has for some reason been fried. I'm sorry for your loss.
You can try PC-based recovery utilities, but typically with flash memory (as opposed to magnetic memory of hard drives), once the data is gone, it's gone for good. But, you never know...give some of those a try and see what happens. Before you ask, no...I've no guidance for one versus another.
Good luck!

    Hey anjanetteroland, 
    Welcome to the forums. 
    If you try a new media card in your device do you get the same error? Sounds like the media card is damaged.

  • On iPhone 5s, since updating to 8.02, when accessing the phone's voicemail greeting section, the greeting, voicemail and dial pad freezes up. Requires restart of device to regain access to phone app. Greeting section can not be accessed.

    Hello -
    I've never had any issues at all with my iPhone 5s. After I ran the IOS 8.02 update, everything seemed fine. Yesterday afternoon (about 8 hours after the update), I went to update my voicemail greeting. So I can open the phone app just fine, use the phone with calls, listen to voicemails, etc., but as soon as I tap the GREETING within the voicemail section, everything in the phone app freezes up. Shutting down and restarting the app does not help. I have to restart the entire iPhone to regain access to the phone app. Interestingly, I can receive a call during this 'freeze' by tapping the ANSWER button during the incoming call. Just can not make outgoing calls, listen to voicemails, etc.
    During this freeze, a message occasionally appears stating that the greeting server can not be reached.
    Beyond that, no ideas.
    Any thoughts?
    Thank you.

    I am having this issue too.  Have you happened to find a solution?
    I can transfer them via airdrop to the computer, but that takes a heck of a long time.

  • Media card cannot be accessed due to fatal errors.

    I keep getting that message and ive tried pulling the battery....What happened was i did a battery pull because my phone was frozen and then when i put it back in the media card stopped working. What can i do to solve this?!
    I have searched everywhere......

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Here is a KB that discusses that error:
    KB14745 "Memory card contains error, please use disk checking utility on computer" appears on the Home screen of the BlackBerry smartphone
    Hopefully it contains something useful! You might have to use a media card reader on a PC rather than directly through the tethered BB.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • MEDIA CARD CANT BE READ DUE TO FATAL ERRORS

    Hi, I took my blackberry 9630 tour to the repairers to fix my trackball because it wasn't functioning. They fixed my trackball but the problem is when I insert my media card on the phone, I got a message sayng "media card cannot be accessed due to fatal errors" and I got shocked because the card was working before they opened my phone. Can someone please help me get back my 700 music files and pictures because they are important :'(

    Hello, Archie42,
    To better determine if the issue is being caused by the media card or the BlackBerry® smartphone,  I would suggest testing the media card in a PC, if the card is working transfer the files to your PC and then reformat the card and then test in the BlackBerry.
    I hope this helps.

  • HT201210 In the middle of my update, it stopped and told me that it could not be completed due to an error. Then my computer restarted and it is telling me that I have to restore my phone so that the new version can be completed, and will erase my data an

    In the middle of trying to update my iphone 4 to the new ios7 , it stopped and said it could not be completed due to an error. Then my computer restarted and it now tells me to restore to factory settings and I will lose all my media and data on my phone. What do I do, my phone is in recovery mode and cant be used??

    You have no choice but to restore the phone.
    However, I'm sure you've been smart enough to have backed up your data before starting the most significant update in iOS history,right?

  • TS3694 trying to update software on my iphone 4s- "could not be updated due to unknown error" (6).  what does this mean.  my phone appears to be in a near complete state of update...

    Not sure what to do.  finally decided to upgrate software on my phone.  installed itunes on my new laptop. plugged by phone in and started process.  nearing the end i received an error message stating that the phone "could not be updated due to unknown error" (6).  HELP!
    the phone itself appears to be in mid update....

    This describes error 6:
    Errors related to third-party security software
    Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 1000, and 9006
    Follow the steps to troubleshoot security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or phobos.apple.com isn't blocked by a firewall or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under "Advanced steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)" below for file locations.
    Restore your device while connected to a different network.
    Restore using a different computer.

  • I can not access face time or icloud on my phone they atr there but can not click on to use them????

    i can not access face time or icloud on my phone they atr there but can not click on to use them????

    These ones are tricky. But the following instructions are worth a try.
    First do a complete uninstall of iTunes and related components (but don't reinstall just yet), as per the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    a. Launch regedit (Start >> Search Programs and Files >> type Regedit and open the regedit that comes up.)
    b. Access the following Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData \S-1-5-18\Components
    c. Perform the following actions
    i. Right Click on Components Folder
    ii. Select Permissions
    iii. Select Full Control and Read Permissions options
    iv. Select Advanced Button
    v. Select Owner Tab
    vi. Select to Change Owner to the Administrators
    vii. Check the option “Replace owner on subcontainers and objects”
    viii. Select OK when prompted that it may not change all.
    ix. Select Apply
    x. Select Apply again
    xi. Exit the Registry Editor
    Now try reinstalling iTunes again. Does it go in properly this time?

    Trying to back up my phone before I upgrade the software to the IO7..... When I try to manually back up now to ITunes,  I get the message "ITunes can not back up IPhone because an error has occured". I have rebooted the phone and computer. Any advise?

    bought the phone in America and I can not activate. addressed to the cellular company they refuse razbloairovat sprint since I'm outside of America? help! What to do?

    Return it for a refund, if you can. Otherwise, sell it to someone that can use it on Sprint's network in the US.
    Fact is, Sprint will only unlock the sim slot for customers using the phone on their network...obviously not you. Sorry, but you wasted your money.
