Memory card damage

I damaged my memory card (small crack) when attempting to put it into my imac. Now the camara says "memory card error" and the imac will not recognize the memory card.
Is there any way to recover the photos?

Not if it's damaged and cannot be read.

N82 removed original memory card, now neither are ...

I bought a 4gb memory card, switched it and the N82 didn't recognise it, swapped the original 2gb back and it won't recognise either. I did this while the phone was powered on, I don't think I damaged it because it prompted me to remove the card, then press ok.
EDIT
Now the 4gb works but the 2gb isn't recognised anymore.

format the 2gb and try it again... PLEASE NOTE: you will loose the data.

N73 automatically ejects memory card

My N73 is the Hong Kong IE version and I bought it in January. The problem is that the memory card just randomly removes itself during normal usage, once i even noticed that everytime I press the '3' key it just removes itself. Is anyone else experiancing this? Also when you select 'remove memory card' in the options menu, is the card information i.e space left, card size etc suppose to dissapear? Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't on mine.Since then I have had to replace the motherboard 3 times and also the memory card. What is the problem? Maybe the wires connecting the motherboard to the keyboard are damaged?

This sounds like a hardware fault - I know of no software which does this.
One thing you can try is to eliminate the software problem (if it is that) is to reset the phone using the instructions you can find in this post :
/discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&message.id=4007
However please be aware that doing so will wipe ALL the data from your phone such as information in your calendar, contacts and so on.
In order to save your data you can use the PC Suite application to save and restore the data from your phone - this software can be found here :
http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite
If this doesn't work then it's likely you have a hardware fault and you should approach your local Nokia Service Centre to get your phone fixed.
Hope this helps.
Please let me know how you get on.

Shoot i got my memory card in my cd slot how do i get it out

how do i get it out?please help!

Guys, it has to be fairly new if it has a memory card reader!
Perhaps Mr Ives and company should reconsider putting the memory card reader slot just below the ODD slot. I am sure that many folks try to insert discs and memory card by feel alone.
sdfsddfgssdg, you may do some damage fishing around in the ODD looking for something as small as a memory card. Then any damage to your ODD would not be covered by warranty. Best to pay the price of your error and have it looked at by a pro.

How can i get a memory card out if i inserted it in the wrong place?

I was entering a memoery card into my mac when i accidently pushed it in to the CD opening instead of the one right under it that is for memoery cards out of cameras. Now the memoery card is stuck in there and i tried everything but i cant get it out. if any one has any suggestions on what i should do please reply back!!!!

If the card does not come out of the optical drive when you turn the iMac on its side and gently shake it you have a problem. Some users have reported success by inserting a thin piece of card into the drive to dislodge the memory card but you risk damaging the optical drive mechanism/optics or pushing the card in further.
It will be an expensive repair as it will not be covered by warranty. It may be cheaper to 'write-off' the internal drive and by an external OEM USB drive. Do not buy an Apple Superdrive as it will not work.

Blackberry Curve 9300 - "memory card not inserted"

Hi, I've seen this topic on here already but none of the things you mentioned actually worked for me. my blackberry is brand new this morning (22/10/2011) so there is no way it could have been damaged... i took the memory card out of my blackberry storm and put it in this one, and it didnt work, so i put the one i got with this phone in and that didnt work either. any ideas would be amazing?

Well, for starters, make CERTAIN the card is inserted correctly... so the contacts touch as intended.
That might sound silly, but believe, I've seen users put media cards in all different wrong ways.

I cannot seem to load raw images into LR 2.5. I've been using this for years. I always load from memory card, but it gives me an unknown error message. I tried to load from camera, hard drive, & external drive and still will not work. I checked import

I cannot seem to load raw images into LR 2.5. I've been using this for years. I always load from memory card, but it gives me an unknown error message. I tried to load from camera, hard drive, & external drive and still will not work. I checked import menu and nothing has changed. I loaded the photos onto my tablet and images are fine, so do not feel it is the memory card. Any thoughts?

The error message probably said "unsupported or damaged"
The T3 requires Lightroom 3.4.1 or later. You can either upgrade to a more current version of Lightroom (version 5.6 is the most recent) or you can use the free Adobe DNG Converter to convert the RAWs to DNG, which should import into Lightroom properly.

Error message 'memory card error' with SD card on C5180

Photosmart C5180 displays 'memory card error' when SanDisk SDHC inserted. (The card is not damaged, it's new & works in camera.) I've been unsuccessful in finding answers on HP site. Any help most appreciated. Thanks much.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Looking at the product specification, I see "High Capacity" (SDHC) memory is NOT supported on the device:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00701803&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&lc=en&dlc=en...
I also verified this with our group in San Diego - SDHC isn't supported.

Memory Card N500

i wonder if somebody has the same problem like mine.
i was putting some mp3 songs and some pictures in the memory card, somehow the songs won't play and the pictures didn't show in photos slide.
but nothing is wrong with the memory card.. it can save and remove data like usual.. only n500 wont play and read what i saved in the memory card.
my phone only can read the datas i saved in mass storage / memory phone.
please, i need help..

@genovaratin
Can only suggest that you try another microSD in case device card holder damaged, if this one works transfer data off other card and try re-formatting it.
Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

Whilst tethered can my images be saved onto a memory card or is it going to be by passed?

Shooting whilst tethered to a D7100 can my images be saved onto a memory card? Or is the images going to by pass card and go straight on to computer?
Thanks

Could it be because the SIM card got damaged while I cut it to fit the IPhone?
Very likely. Hard to believe the carrier in Mexico doesn't have a micro-SIM card available.
Or somehow the Chinese carrier found out and locked it?
No, which is not possible.
What can I do? Get a new SIM and see if it works again?
Get a micro-SIM from the carrier in Mexico that you don't have to manually cut down. If that carrier doesn't provide one, switch to another carrier that is not so low-budget.

Dm4-1060us laptop SD Card Reader 5-in-1 question. Does it work with SDHC and SDXC memory cards?

dm4-1060us laptop SD Card Reader 5-in-1 question. Does it work with SDHC and SDXC memory cards?

This cart reader is a kind of multi card reader and you can use different cards with it. In my opinion every multi device should be used very, but very gently. I do not know what happened exactly in your case but maybe you have damaged something inside.
Try to restart your notebook and use other SD card to check if everything works well. Please do it very gently and if you see something is wrong stop with inserting the card.
I use 1 GB SD card on my A200 without any problems.
In my opinion you should check notebook by technician.
Bye and good luck!

Error -36 when trying to copy photos from new memory card to mac hd? HELP!! very important photos!

bought a new memory card, took 700+ photos, i can preview the videos (.mov) in finder and can see the thumbnail preview of the photos (.nef) but cannot open the photos larger in preview or copy any of the videos/photos to the hd. I can open the photos in photoshop directly from memory card but cant copy or move photos/videos from memory card to mac hd. (error -36 pops up..something about the file cant be read) please help!

I took the memory card back to best buy and the geek squad was able to help me fortunately by putting all of my pic files onto one of their PCs and then putting all my pics back onto a NEW memory card; then we plugged the new memory card into the computer and transferred the files seamlessly. Apparently there was some kind of issue with the way my memory card was formatted. I now put my new memory card into my camera, format it (very easily done with the in camera menu), and take a few test shots and transfer the pics to my computer before doing anything valuable with it. Thankfully all of my files were not damaged.
*BEWARE!! DO NOT FORMAT YOUR MEMORY CARD WHILE YOU HAVE PICS ON IT AS IT WILL CAUSE ALL PICS TO BE DELETED! IF YOU HAVE VALUABLE PICTURES TRANSFER THE ENTIRE DCIM FOLDER TO ANOTHER COMPUTER, THEN ERASE MEMORY CARD AND FORMAT IT, YOU THEN MAY BE ABLE TO PUT THE DCIM FOLDER BACK ON THE SAME MEMORY CARD AND USE IT SUCCESSFULLY. IF YOU STILL CANT USE THAT SAME MEMORY CARD YOU CAN TRY THE SAME PROCESS BUT AT THE END PUT THE FOLDER ONTO A NEW MEMORY CARD INSTEAD.
Hope this helps someone =)

6110 transferring map to new memory card

Hi. I've just got a 6110 Navigator with UK map preloaded onto a memory card. I want to put in a bigger card but can't seem to be able to copy the map from the old one onto the new one. I've followed the help file instructions but it say Map Manager shouldhave a "Settings"button that I can't find to select the "copy card" option. Can anyone help?

the phone supports cards of 8 gb and higher. i currently got 8gb installed (make sure you have at least firmware 3.58 installed, 4.22 is better!)
nokia also says the phone supports 8gb, so ignore the post of babdi.
@bin_man: have you got at least firmware 3.58 installed? if so, reformat the microsdhc card, and then try to copy the data again. if you get the i/o error already while formating or later, the memory card is damaged (usually this kind of error occurs with damaged microsdhc cards). however you should still try to copy the data by simply using a different card-reader (do you currently transfer the data over usbcable through the nokia 6110 navigator onto the card?). and dont work on your computer during that time and best would be to disable the virus-scanner too.
@rickofpigs: first of all, also check firmware (3.58 or higher). second: format the microsdhc card, after that, start nokia navigator program once (with the microsdhc card in it, and no other data on the card), the phone will copy a few files onto the memory card that are necessary for the sync. after that you can try the sync, it should work fine.

How do I recover photos deleted from the memory card?

If you don't have any sucess with the free programs available Sandisk Rescue Pro can be downloaded for a test & if it finds the missing / damaged files you can then pay the licensing fee & retrieve your photos. I have used Rescue Pro more than once with excellent results. (Bailed out friends & relatives who either pulled the cable out while downloading or who formatted in camera by accident). Rescue Pro found files burried from more than 1 in camera format & reuse. Lexar also has a very good program for this but I don't remember it's name. .

You can try to google about how to recover deleted photos on your memory card:
Access a USB port to connect your camera to your computer and recover deleted pictures
on your memory card. Download a photo recovery program for memory cards. Run the program by double clicking on the downloaded executable file and clicking "Run". Choose the drive containing the deleted picture files from the available card reader drives or camera drives in the pull-down menu. Indicate the location on your computer where you want the recovered files to be stored. Begin the restoration process by clicking on "Start." Or you can use Photo Recovery to recover deleted photos.
