Memory Card Formats??

Hi, I have 2 digital photo frames which take SD Memory cards.
When trying to copy photo's from iPhoto to the cards via a usb card reader, the card gets around half full before I get a "The item cannot be copied because there is not enough free space." message.
Is there a trick to formatting the card to be able to use it's full capacity??
Any advice/help would be gratefully recieved!!
Cheers,
Rob

Had the exact same problem...this is exactly what you have to do (at least this is exactly what I did after so many tries and it finally recognizes all 2Gig of my SD card for a digital frame. OK, here goes:
1. mount the drive with the reader
2. open disk utilities
3. once the drives mount, you should see two drives indicating your DS card, and then the mount under it (the first SD icon is the USB orange icon)
4. select the first mount (orange USB) and then click erase, choose MS-DOS then press the security options and do a "zero" out.
5. once this process is complete (about 2 minutes) you will be able to use up all 2Gig (well, 1.9 to be more exact)
Hope this helps. worked for me.

  • Nokia 6288 Memory Card Formatted

    I have accidentally formatted my memory card and lost all the data. I have bought my phone in Dubai and I am now in Manila. Can anyone help me how to have the same data by sending me a link or zip file of it? Thanks!

    Muhammad,
    Bring your phone to a Nokia Service Center and ask them if they can load the "Preloaded Files"on your memory card.
    You can also call the Nokia CareLine for technical assistance.

  • Treo 750 Memory Card Formatting Problem

    The phone detects the new card (2GB) and presents an option to format it. Upon selecting 'Yes', it is unable to format the card.
    Post relates to: Treo 750 (Rogers)

    Look on the side of the card and see if the lock is set to "on" or "lock".
    If the card is not locked it should format in the Treo.
    You can also format the SD card in a PC using a card reader using FAT32 format.

  • 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

  • Music player not refreshing the memory card in Nok...

    Hi All,
    I have , once, removed my mobile phone from data cable without safety remove and there it gave me lot of troubles. My facebook was not able to be connected through the provided application and my music player stopped working as and stopped refreshing saying that "File corrupted"
    Finally. i removed my memory card, formatted it and made it worked.
    Nokia should consider fixing these issues as we respect them a lot and think that they are still the #1 hardware vendor and will keep giving us good options than Samsung - android and will compete with apple phones.
    Thanks,
    Madas

    It already states that removing your cable without properly ejecting the device will cause problems with the software and memory card inside your device. 
    This issue is user side removing the cable early. To prevent further corruptions, please safely remove hardware from your desktop.

  • Laptop computer HP Pavillion dv7 does not show sd memory card

    I put my 16 GB SDHC  class 10  new memory card  into my laptop memory card slot reader
    but the computer does not even show an icon for the memory card slot reader. When I pushed the card all the way in
    my Kaspersy Virus software asked me if I wanted to scan the new memory card. So it was recognised by Kaspersy.
    What to do? I am trying to download a firmware upgrade for a camera I own. I have dowloaded the firmware but cannot tranfer the file because the computer is not showing an icon for the memory card.

    Formatting in post #2 was removed.

  • How do i format a memory card on my mac?

    I don't get a choice to format the sd card (actually via an adapter I plug into the USB port that holds various memory cards) - not sure if formating the sd card would actually eliminate the virus, but thought I'd try...  The card is infected with a "conficker" virus, which Sophos can't remove.  I have eliminated all the files, and there still is like 55 unviewable files. 

    Disk Utility. The same way you format any type drive on a Mac.

  • N81: "Memory full" even formatted the memory card

    Hi.
    Using N81, I get the "Memory full. Delete some data" message every time (when turning on the mobile, when trying to install any app, when trying to uninstall any app, ...).
    I've formatted the memory card, and I've got:
    - Capacity: 1947 MB
    - Used: 1 MB
    - Free: 1946 MB
    but continue getting the same error.
    Any similar experience? I reset the mobile (*#7370# and *#7780#) but I don't experience any change (I've deleted the time and settings, but not the memory issues).
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Hi bilbaow,
    Thank you for your post.
    What I recommend you try is to re-installing your firmware and see if this make a difference. You can do this via Nokia suite through tools and update.
    If after this is still isn't working when you did a hard reset (*#7370#) did you back and restore? If you did do the hard reset but don't restore, do still experience the same issue?

    You should have because that's how to do it on FP2 phones such as the N78 and N96.
    Menu > Tools > File manager
    Go into the "Memory card" section, then:

  • I have recently changed to an iMac from a Windows PC. How do I delete files and format the memory card in my helmet cam?

    I have recently changed to an iMac from a Windows PC. How do I delete files and reformat the memory card in my helmetcam?

    If you return the memory card to the helmetcam, it may choose to reformat it before use; back to some FAT-16 or FAT-32 format many of these third-party cards and cameras use. Unless you were going to use it for Mac OS X and format it with HFS+ or in a partition map for Mac data, etc.
    If not, the easiest way to reformat the card may have been in the camera itself. I've formatted several kinds of camera cards, drives, USB flash drive, and others. The means varies with the intended purpose. Sometimes the default is the best; since it is platform neutral if the device is seen by both players.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Canon EOS 350D does not see memory card--I've tried two different ones. Will not format--err 99

    My EOS 350d has not worked since it was shipped to my daughter.  Bought new memory card and camera still does not recognize that a card is in it.  When connected to computer I could see card but it had 0 used memory and 0 memory available.  Now it does not show at all.  Using canon software get same response--no memory card.  Have tried with two different memory cards.  Even formatted one card on PC, still nothing.  Any ideas what to try next--pins look like they are all in correct place.

    Unfortunately, the Error 99 code is not a specific error code and can indicate a number of issues, such as battery power issues, shutter issues, etc.  The more I looked into the 350D and memory card compatibility the more I think that may not be the issue.  In all honesty, I'd contact Canon support as you may have to send your camera in for repairs. 
    Before doing that, though, I'd try this. Restart your camera, wait a few moments then set the camera's power to Off and remove the batteries.  Open the memory card slot cover to make sure the memory card is securely set in the card slot, then reinsert the batteries and turn the power to On. Hopefully that will do the trick, and if not I'd update the firmware for the camera as a last resort and see if that rectifies the problem.  If not, contact customer support.

    There is no solution. If you formatted the card, the data is gone, purely and simply.
    Sorry, but there is no solution. You'll have to think twice before formatting the card next time.

  • Help to format memory card (Nokia 5300)

    Hi everyone.
    I have a problem with my Nokia 5300. The problem occurred about two weeks ago and then escalates up to today, where it now has gone all bad.
    The problem is my memory card. I haven’t changed it, so it is the original card that came with the phone.
    It started with, that my phone couldn’t find my memory card. Then I had to shut down the phone and start it up again. It worked.
    But now, I can’t get my phone to see the card. I’ve tried to take the card out of the phone and then inserted it again.
    When I do that, the phone can see the card, but when I try to enter it, it says that the card isn’t formatted and therefore can’t be accessed.
    According to the Nokia 5300 manual, I’ve to enter the memory card to format it – so it’s quite a paradox. I would like to back my card up, but that doesn’t seem to be a possibility.
    Is there a way to format the memory card or is there someone with a explanation and/or a solutions to this problem? It’s really frustrating.
    I just updated my phone, so the newest version of the software is installed. I’ve backup my contacts, messages and calendar – and some of the pictures from my memory card. I could access it in the beginning of the backup / update, but suddenly it disappeared.
    Thanks
    - Emil
