Memory card problems pleasr help!

ive just bought a 6280 and wanted to get more memory. bought a card and assumed that just inserting it would active it. is that the case because nothing has happened and i still have no free space?
is there something i need to do to active the memory card?
thanks

In theory you don't need to do anything. What you do need to do in order to free up some space in the (pathetically small) internal memory is simply move whatever you can over to the miniSD card.
One thing to bear in mind is the speed of the card. I used to have problems storing photos taken on my 6280 if the card was too slow.

Memory card problems please help!

Ok I've never quite been able to figure this one out, and I figure this is the forum to come to to try and fix it. I have a Canon photo printer with memory card slots I've been using for a while now as a stand alone. Now that I have my iMac I decided to hook it up but here's the problem. When I try to delete selected pictures from a memory card I can't because it's read-only, and I can't change it to read-write. If fact when I connected my camera to my old Windows PC I couldn't do this either. iPhoto asks me after the import if I want to blank out the memory card, but I want to keep certain photos on the card. I just want to go in and delete files like any other USB drive. I tried "Get Info" but there is no way there to change to read-write. This is more of a problem with the memory cards than my printer or iPhoto, but if anyone knows a way around this I'd really appreciate it.

... also I've checked the little write-protect tabs, I have 2 SD cards and both are not set to lock and neither lets me A. delete anything or B. put any files back onto them. In my experience it seems that on both Mac and PC they have tried to over-simplify the process of managing digital photos by forcing you to use applications rather than learn simple file management(i.e. cut, copy and paste). I don't know why photos have to be different from every other file type. If I put in my Memory Stick Duo in my PSP and connect with USB I can delete and move whatever I want just like I've always been able to, even photos. It seems that as soon as an SD memory card comes in contact with a camera(mine's a Canon PowerShot) the only way to put anything onto it is to take a picture. Again if anyone knows how to change photo memory cards to read-write status it would be fantastic.

Memory Card Problem - Please help

I have a 4GB SDHC memory card that is not working in any of the cameras I have tried it in. When I put the memory card in a USB memory card reader and plug it into my computer, I get a message saying the card needs to be formatted. After formating the card, I put the memory card back into the computer and now I receive a message saying "This card cannot be used"
I dont know what else to do to make this card work. It is only about a week old.. Please help!

Hi junebaby510,
I would suggest making sure your computer has the drivers needed to support SDHC memory cards, and if it doesn't you should be able to download and install the necessary driver from computer manufacturer's website. SDHC memory cards are physically the same size as SD cards and are inserted into the same slot as an SD card would be on your card reader, but they do require specific drivers to be able to be read by a computer.
You should always format your memory card with the camera that it is intended to be used in, and remember whenever you format your memory card all images on your memory card should be removed. If the driver doesn't work I would suggest exchanging the memory card for a new one which you should be able to do if you have only owned it for a week. I hope this helps!
Thanks,

5320 memory card problem. Help!

I bought my 5230 a couple of months ago and everything was fine. However it has suddenly stopped allowing me to save anything to the memory card. It reads whats already on there, so I can access music and photos etc, that are already on the memory card, but if I try and bluetooth a song to my phone for example, it won't let me do it saying there isn't enough memory, even though I have over 1gb still on my card. It wants to save everything to the phone memory, which obviously there isn't much of.
I formatted the card and even now it's totally empty I still can't save anything to it. I also can't download any apps from Ovi because of not having enough space (alledgedly!)
Any ideas how to sort it out?

Just to add, I have tried different memory cards and it's the same, so it definitely the phone and not the card.

Help! nokia 6300 memory card problem

i bought sd 2gb memory card and it won't let me download more than 500 mb onto it! the memory status shows that there is plenty left but if i try to download any more - or even move an image from phone to memory card - it tells me that operation failed! i did format the card and it didn't help
help!

try to reinstall your current firmware (after backing up all your important data first) or see if there is an update for your 6300 via nokia software updater. but i think there is a problem with your memory card rather than your phone, as can happen with normal USB flash drives when copying files to them, they suddenly give up and start giving strange errors. so maybe try replacing your card with a better quality new one.
hope this helps

Nokia 6500 Memory card problem

When i try to open my mem card it says Memory Card not formatted; Format mem card ?
after i press yes it says Operation Failed.i tried my mem card on other phone and it worked i also tried other mem card on my phone and i got the same problem... So it's the phone problem
Anyone can help me ?

Well, If there are any updates available for your device (look here: http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update/can-i-update), there could be a slight chance it would work. At least you could try before taking it to a Nokia carepoint. - You could always try to set it back to factory settings too, but I doubt it will be fixed.

Nokia N8 sim card problem please help!!

I have been the proud owner of a Nokia N8 for about 9 months now without any problems or issues jus some random bugs...since N8 is a troubled device as we all know. But anyways jus now it has come up with lots of issues...at first my phone started to restart as soon as the phone started up. Even before all the apps loaded up and i tried around 15 times to switch off and start and stuff. But to no avail...so i went on some forums and blogs and got some tips like resetting it by holding down the power button for 8 secs and everything but still the same problem. Now, I removed my sim card and put in a different one and VOILA it worked!!! No restart so I thought maybe the older sim was faulty. but as i put the old sim in another phone...it worked in that phone! I was dumbfounded as the sim was working on my n8 before toO! ......so i just ignored it and i used the other sim in my n8 but not for long after half an hour the phone was not starting up sim card or no sim card. so i flashed my phone to the official Symbian Anna and i tried booting up without a sim card and the phone works properly. but as soon as I put in the sim card and switch the profile to normal mode..the phone freezes for about 5-6 seconds and reboots only to find my phone in offline mode again and same problem. I have tried changing sim cards nd memory cards, reset, reflash, format the mass memory, and everything else possible but in vain. The problem still exists!! Can anyone please help me as Im very fond of the phone and I dont want to send it to the service center as they would come up with some lame excuses + i hav lost my warranty card!! Please help....and btw the phone works flawlessly without a sim card! And also, in offline mode when i switch on the bluetooth...the phone freezes and restarts! Evn the WLAN keeps on searching for network and doesnt find any even though there is! Any help would be appreciated... thank you!

Just want to say "I dont have my warranty card"
No official Nokia care point will say this as they can check the warranty satus online using your IMEI number- if they do not do this, either insist they do or report them to nokia care direct and lodge a complaint. (0845 045 55 55 from the UK)
Even if the warranty has expired online, this can be extended if you can provide a proof of purchase date. This can be a delivery reciept if you bought online, or your high street retailor will be able to provide you with a copy if you ask them- even your original service agreement should be enough. Remember you get a full 2 years warranty with all Nokia handsets.
Nokia Care are there to help, not to make things difficult for you. They go through untold amounts of training to ensure you get your handset back as soon as possible in a fully working order.
I feel bad you feel such reluctance to contact a care centre, Nokia have gone to massive efforts to provide consumers with this kind of readily available support.
If you are in the UK and your local care centre is not helping you I would suggest you call the one i use, they will give you all the advice you need 01242 539539 (i hope giving out this info is ok on the forums)

My iMac won't let me upload pics from memory card...HELP!!!

I've had my Mac for 3 months and have never run into this problem until recently. I tried to upload my pictures onto my Mac and when I put the memory card into my memory card reader, iPhoto comes up, but it shows there are no pictures on the card. When I put the card in my camera I have 500+ pictures on it. I have also tried connecting my camera directly and it still shows no pictures on the card???
I don't understand what the problem is, it's always allowed me to upload from both my Memory Card Reader and from my camera directly...
Can anyne help me???

Monica:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As a workaround open iPhoto's preferences and in the General section change the "Connecting camera opens:" setting from iPhoto to Image Capture. Close iPhoto and insert the memory card in the reader and see if IC can see your photos. If so upload them to a folder on the desktop to get them on the HD before you do further testing.
First try the simple fix: delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again. Have you run any updaters since the last time you successfully uploaded from the camera or card reader?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

N97 Mini Memory Card Problem

I've been having a problem with my N97 Mini since installing a SanDisk 16Gb Memory Card.
When switching on the phone it quite often reboots. It will then work fine.
I also get 'memory full' or 'security module' errors. I can fix the issue by rebooting or ejecting the memory card in the file manager (even though I don't need to physically remove the memory card).
If I remove the memory card it works fine and I can't reproduce the errors.
I tried reformatting the card but it hasn't helped; even though it's blank.
Could it be a problem with the phone hardware, the memory card or the firmware (I'm running v11 on vf uk)?

So I've now switched to a Nokia memory card.
It came in official Nokia packaging, however there's no markings on the memory card or included adaptor that it's made by (or for) Nokia. Having looked online I can see there are other examples of this.
I did wonder if it was genuine!
However it works much much better with my phone.
The Security Module Error has completely gone, it very occasionally does the random reboot on startup, and gives a 'memory full' error, but I think this may be due to an issue with Ovi Maps and the amount of music I have on there.
I will try (another) full reset just to make sure but otherwise the phone's now working well.

E60 memory card problem

Hello everybody have a good day,
I got an problem...
I did a hard reset on my E60 everything went well.
But when i now turn on the phone the phone tries to install a program at startup but fails, and tries to install again at next start up.
When I go to the Manager applications (found under Tools) I see 1 SIS file that is not installed. Now I want to remove this file but I can't delete the SIS file in this Manager (the delete option is not present/available). Installing the SIS file wont work either it fails again.
Next I tried to format the SD card but I get the message "Unable to format. Memory card in Use by another application"
How do I get rid of this SIS file / installtion failure?
Please help thanks in advantage.
Sincerly,

The only way that I have found to resolve this issue it to use a memory card reader on a PC. Formatting the card works but a less drastic option is to just write down the name of the "offending" file, usually some alpha-numeric.sis file. You can then search for this file name using the PC and delete just this file. I've had to do this several times and it works fine.
