Micro SD not detected in Z1.... What is going on

Afternoon All,
First time poster here, hoping someone can help resolve my issue before I go completely crazy with my Z1 and put the thing in the bin or through an industrial shredder
Got new 64gb micro sd card last week, formatted before putting in my phone, once it was in the phone transferred all my images/videos and music onto it, worked no bother at all. Then sitting at my desk the other day, not even touching my phone, there was a message come up saying something about the sd card being unmounted. When I went to look at my images, and videos, they were all missing.  I wouldn't be bothered, but I have some photos on there that were irreplaceable and will never get back again.
I have connected the phone to the pc via the cable and its not recognising it either. Is there anything at all that can be done to get my pics back.
Be really grateful for any useful advice.
Thanks in advance

microSD cards are not that trustful memory cards, just accept that. (and backup sensitive data to other external storage device)
It's probably their size. They can get corrupt anytimewithout any reason.
I'd a Sandisk 32GB card, and after 2 1/2 years I experience that filecommander didn't start, and that the walkman app didn't play.
So I take out the microSD and put it in my Linux computer. The mounting proces takes longer then usual, but after say 10 seconds i see the data on it, but couldn't move files. Using Gparted to repair took a very long time and didn't finish.
So i was happy that I'd a backup of all microSD data on a external hardrive.
I bought a new microSD (thistime Kingston) 32 GB and copied all data with Linux computer from erternal harddrive to microSD.
After that insert the microSD in the ExperiaZ1 and everything is working again.
Advise: when buying a microSD buy one with manufactorer stamp/logo on it.
Most microSD cards without manufactorer logo on it are faulty microSD cards from the back of the factory and for a cheap price (for example a corrupt 32Gig for sale as a good 16Gig.).
By the way: it's always best to format a storage device on the device where you use it (if you only use it on one device), has to do with preferred formatting/cluster settings. (but i don't know if fat / ntfs has that option compared to reiser/ext3,4/btfs, and so on.

    I am confused. You said till you Erases all contents and setting yu could not turn it and iTunes did not see it.  How could you Erase all Contents and Setting if you could not turn it on?

  • It has been not more than 10 days since i bought iphone 5s 32gb and the finger print scanner is not detecting the prints.what to do??is it an issue with the device or iOS??

    Standard practices:
    Restart the device (power off completely, then back on) - retest.
    Reset (hold sleep wake and home buttons until apple logo appears) - you can try this, but it is most useful when your device is frozen.
    Restore to factory settings - retest.
    Make an appointment at an Apple retail store genius bar if the above did not resolve the issue.

  • When I click on a song in my iTunes library I keep getting a message telling me that the song could not be located. What is going on?

    iTunes can't find your media files, which are normally located in ~/Music/iTunes. Try a Spotlight search on your computer for your media files, and move them back into that location. If you can't find your files, then try going to your backup drive, if you have one.

    Hi, gcmar.
    I would double check to make sure that you have selected the options for syncing.  Look over the article below to make sure you have the items that you want selected to sync over.

    Same problem for me.
    1. Cannot connect to wifi as icloud password pop up keeps appearing.
    2. tried deleting account. UNable to do so.
    3. tried resetting password by logging into apple id through desktop as mentioned in one of the responses in another thread. Unfortunately the apple id to be reset is the same as being prompted by icloud and hence unable to reset the same.
    Feel like breaking the **** ipad into bits. Stupid of apple to let such a bug in and not offer support !!

  • Micro-SIM Not Detected

    Greetings,
    Today when I went to switch my PlayBook from Wi-Fi to 4G I got a "Micro-SIM card not detected" icon when I tapped the Wi-Fi icon in the status bar:
    It was working the day before. Any idea what would cause this? How can I fix it? I've already tried restarting.
    Thanks,

    Hello SGoodman,
    Have you attempted removing and reinserting your SIM card? If so, do you have access to another SIM card you can test in the device?

  • Micro Muvo not detected on comuter.

    Can anyone please help. I bought my Micro muvo N200 back in late October. I am a novice computer user. I had finally downloaded music onto it after tries from "musicmatch". For some reason now, I want to delete songs from my MP3 and add new one's but now my MP3 is not "detected". I've tried everything to the best of my knowledge and nothing..
    Please help.
    Albert

    Thanks for the response... well the actual mp3 works great. the problem is that my computer or music match do not detect it even after downloading the disc again. I was told to go to control panel, systems, hardware, then to usb... to see if the computer detects it, when i did that there were several usb ports... but there was a particular one where the USB symbol actually had a red "X" going through it as if to say that it's not working. I also tried to download the firmware on the creative website and the response i got was " This device not connected to the USB port" I tried to download unplugged and plugged (the mp3) Thanks for your response and hope to hear from you VERY soon. (tired of dealing with this.. very frustrating )

  • Zen Micro 5gb not detected w/ USB ca

    i just got my new micro and have had no luck getting the usb cable to work.
    ) i installed all of the spyware-bloated software required to copy music over to the player and found that none of them can detect it. not even the removable disk mode works. (and yes my usb port works - i even tested 2 other computers to see if they would pick it up)
    2) after wasting hours of my time going through the forums and reading anything even remotely related to Zen Micro usb problems i finally decided to go into recovery mode and "Reload Firmware."
    3) after plugging the player back in to see if it will be recognized by windows and then reload the firmware, it continues to go undetected. (i ran the "Creative Zen Micro Firmware update" with the micro connected through USB and it does not detect it.)
    *) concerning the quote about the removable dri've feature
    "If you are using a shared computer in school or at the office, and installing Zen Media Explorer is not possible, you can still transfer data files. However, you must enable Zen Micro?s Removable Disk mode when you do this."
    since you do not even need any extra software to use the removable disk feature, besides an OS like WinXP, i'm assuming that either the player or the usb cable it came with is busted. in either case i'm planning to get it exchanged for a set that works.
    am i the only one who's run into this problem? any feedback/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Message Edited by assman on 09-2-2005 0:50 PM

    It would be nice, but they don't have any facility for remote working (I'd have to work from Brazil, my current location). Aside from issues of them actually having vacancies etc. Maybe if everyone sends an email to Sim Wong Hoo.... I'd very much like a job, as getting one here in Brazil is proving impossible for a Gringo like me
    Anyway, I hope you get your player replaced ASAP and can get on with the business of listening to music!

  • Zen Micro is NOT detected by Creative MediaSource Organizer or Windows Media Pla

    <SPAN>Well, I have read through a good part of the message forum and have found nothing to help my case and I believe, truly believe that I have tried everything!
    <SPAN>
    <SPAN>My Zen Micro is detected by my computer and when plugged in I am prompted by MTP Media Player to
    <SPAN>Launch Windows Media Player and synchronize files </LI>
    <SPAN>Take no action</LI>
    <SPAN>
    <SPAN>If choose to launch Windows Media Player it does not detect the portable device
    <SPAN>If I choose to take no action and launch Creative MediaSource Organizer instead, the device is still not detected.
    <SPAN>
    <SPAN>I have checked my Device Manager and it says that the device is working properly, drivers are installed (this is the most common problem ? but for me this is the part that is working correctly).
    <SPAN>
    <SPAN>When I open the Zen Micro Media Explorer it tells me that the device is not connected.<SPAN> <SPAN>I cannot transfer music files with Windows Media Player or Creative MediaSource because both programs do not detect the Zen Micro.
    <SPAN>
    <SPAN>I should note that the Zen Micro does work properly on another computer in my household.
    <SPAN>
    <SPAN>Can someone please offer suggestions?
    <SPAN>Thanks

    Ha ha ha! Sucess at last!
    I got it working now!
    I was missing a step in the second suggestion (link posted by DM) to edit the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\U SB and add "EVERYONE." Plus I didn't reboot right away! I guess that would help too. Sorry forgot to do that.
    THANK YOU! The support on this fourm is wonderful! Glad to see the help is here for Creative products.

  • Micro SD not detected in Z1 Compact

    Hi,
    I have been using my SD Card in my new Z1 compact for a couple of days. Today I removed it and put it in my old phone to copy some data. After copying the require data, when I put the card in my Z1 Compact, it is not detected, but it is still detected in my old phone and even in my card reader. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Charu
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The older phone is LG Optimus L7. That card was earlier in that phone itself. Then shifted it to my new Z1 Compact and it was working fine until this thing happened.
    I even tried formatting the card, but still the same, it is not detected in the Z1 Compact, but everywhere else.
    Also, I tried my friend's card, and it is getting detected in my Z1 Compact.. 
    I am not able ot understand the problem

    I am running OSX 10.9.3 and suddenly my Word program won't open. An error message comes up saying that Power PC applications are no longer supported. What is going on?

    that means you have a very old version of MS Office ('04)?.  It can not run on any version of OS X higher than 10.6.8.  You need a more current version, can look at iWork, or try a free program such as OpenOffice or LibreOffice.
