MicroSD Media Card is not being recognized by my BB 8100

Hi,
I currently have that problem with my Blackberry Pearl 8100.
I put it a New 1 GB MicroSD (Patriot) card and connected the cable to the PC and on the PC I created a folder and added the music to it and pictures. It worked fine but one day I took the SIM card out just because and when my phone restarted it would not go pass the providers screen. It stays there, it seems it freezes and it cannot be turned off. So, I took the media card out and turned it on and it displays the screen with no problem. So again I turned it off and installed the card back in and it still the same problem. I also somehow I installed the media card in the phone without taking the battery out but it still doesn't recognize the card. Under Options says card is not installed.
The first time I installed the card I don't think it was formatted(not sure). But it was working fine.
I have installed another card and it still doesn't recognize another card. Also,the media card I tried it on another phone and it is not recognized.
Why would it work the first time as BrandonV(below) but not even locate it or make the phone not work while it has the Media card in?
BrandonV, if you found a solution please let me know.
Anyone else be kind enough to propose a solution.
Thanks,
Gaby
this was someone trying to help out:
Don't know why the BB would stop seeing the media card, but as far as your important stuff... have you tried putting the card into a reader hooked up to the PC to at least retrieve that stuff or move it to that other card that does work?
Sorry that's all I can think of.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Try this.
1) With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery.
2) Remove the media card
3) Insert the battery and replace the back cover.
4) After boot up (~5 mins), check your Memory stats to be sure that is says that no media card is present.
5) Pull out the battery again
6) Put the media card back in and then insert the battery and reboot
7) Launch the Media app and see if it is "Scanning" the media card (as it does for any new media card insertion).
Best!

Been having a lot of problems with blackberry, fixed them but now SD card is not being recognized.

Lately, I've been having a lot of problems. My phone is only a year old. My phone would be fully charged, then 10 minutes later die for no reason & would not turn back on. I decided to buy a new battery & try it out. Gladly, it worked.
I also decided to wipe everything on my phone then restore the phone to my previous back up. This worked. This morning,as I was playing music, the pause button did not want to work. I didn't think much of it. Later today, when I restarted my phone because it was lagging, when it restarted, my blackberry was not recognizing my SD media card.
I find this very strange. It is 4 GB &is a lexar. I have already tried formatting the card, this has not worked.
I have tried almost everything.
Please help!
I use my SD card daily due to work related things.
Please please please help!

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

SD Card not being recognized by ZTE Open (Firefox OS 1.0)

The SD card is not being recognized by my ZTE Open (Firefox OS version 1.0). I tried taking it out, putting it back in and it still does not work. The SD card is brand new and works in all other devices. I only got the phone and the SD card today so I don't know if it is a hardware issue or if it is a issue with Firefox OS 1.0.

Hello,
After reading the information provided about your issue I suggest a soft reset of the phone.
#Take the back cover of the phone off.
#Take the battery out.
#Take the SIM card and microSD card out (if applicable).
#Wait 10 seconds.
#Put the SIM card and microSD card back in (if applicable).
#Put the battery back in.
#Put the back cover back on.
#Turn the device on.
#Check if the issue you were having is still present.
Please report back to us if this solved your problem!

ATI RX3850 not being recognized

Hello. I've been having some problems getting my comp to recognize my new ATI rx3850 graphics card. I am using a Dell Dimension C521 with a Dell 0YY821-A00 motherboard. I install the card in a PCI expressx16 slot, but when I open device manager and search the card I cannot find it. I previously used a NVIDIA 7 series card in the slot with no problems. I recently flashed the BIOS and looked at BIOS settings but I cannot figure out why the card is not being recognized. Could the card not be compatible? I would be thankful for any suggestions.

Which one exactly?
Dell PCs are cheap because they use cheap and nasty components. My guess is that the PSU isn't up to the job, you were probably lucky that your 7xxx card worked at all.

My media is not being recognized by Final Cut! HELP PLEASE!

My media is not being recognized by Final Cut it was there yesterday and today it is not recognized by FCPX
it looks like this now>>> but it is I cans see it in Finder and Quicktime? HELP PLEASE!

That's a compound clip. Not sure what you've done, but that's not a clip icon. Where did this media come from? How did it get into your computer? Is it really HDV? Was it captured using FCP?

How to Transfer Audio Files to microSD Media Card???

I purchased music online and dowlnloaded them, then created a playlist within Roxio Media Manager. I first tried transferring them to my phone (device), but there wasn't enough disc space. So I bought a microsd media card and have been trying to save the music to the card with no luck.
When I view my devices it show the phone with the folders: Music, Pictures, Ringtones, and Videos and then it show a seperate "drive" that says media card. However i have tried copying the music to that drive, but am told it can't transfer files as it's a read only drive!
I've looked all through the help pages and basically did what it told me to do, but it's just not working. Should the media card being showing in the list itself?????
I'm going crazy!!!
Don't know if it matters, but I'm running firefox and windows 2000.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
please try to connect the device with the usb cable to the PC.
then go to "My Computer" and select the drive for the memory card. then you see the folders that are currently on the microsd-card.
then select the audio folder and copy the songs in there.
then disconnect the device from your pc and to go media -> audio. there you will find the files.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

How do I unlock ipod when it is not being recognized by computer and itunes

How do I unlock ipod when it is not being recognized by computer and itunes?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Video Ipod 80G 5th generation not being recognized by computer or itunes.

My ipod is not being recognized by my computer or itunes at all. I bought a new cable and nothing happens as well. however when i connect it in my car it works fine. did any resolve this issue? I am not sure if its the new software that has the issue but i am almost certain it is.

Many people are reporting problems with connecting there fifth-gen iPods after the update to iTunes 9. I had the same problem, and when I downgraded to iTunes 8, everything worked again.
I tried cables, resetting, and all the other steps. My solution turned out to be iTunes 9 itself.
My problem came from using a replacement hard drive-an adapter that allows me to retrofit my iPod with a Compact Flash card instead of a hard drive.
The problem is NOT the adapter. This system functioned perfectly until iTunes 9, and when I switched back to iTunes 8, it worked again.
Summary: I have a modded iPod, and it consistently works with iTunes 8, but not iTunes 9.
Reason: Apple is sooooooooooo afraid a Palm Pre user will be able to use iTunes that they are breaking the sync code on purpose.
Downgrading iTunes:
1. find the download of iTunes 8 for your OS. (not posting links, as they may change)
2. go into your iTunes 9, and export EVERY playlist to a text file. This is the only way to preserve your playlists.
3. Uninstall iTunes 9 from you computer, install iTunes 8.
4. Configure iTunes 8 to use your music folder (especially if you moved your music to a different location other than the default)
5. Add your music to iTunes-this may take awhile.
6. Import you text files and your playlists will return.
7. Backup your iTunes 8 library files.
Happily enjoy your modded iPod. Mac Users: Don't accidentally install iTunes 9 from an Apple Update.

Canon G9 not being recognized by MacBook Pro

I'm having some issues with a Canon G9 not being recognized by the particular MacBook i have to use. When i connect the G9 via USB (obviously with a good cable and camera switched on) neither Image Capture nor iPhoto recognize it. I have tried connecting the camera to a bunch of other macs (Powerbooks, latest MacBook, same model of Macbook and system as the one I'm using), they all didn't have any trouble recognizing the camera. My MaProxy-Connection: keep-alive
Cache-Control: max-age=0
ook can see any other camera I have tried without trouble... I'm using 10.5.6...
The System Profiler does actually see something being connected via USB, but it only shows up as "Composite-Device/0x04a9(Canon Inc.)".
Any ideas what might cause the issue?

Updated information ... these card do get read on an older iMac, circa 2010 or so, also running 10.8.4. For some reason, they're not being read by the internal SD reader on the macbook pro. Odd.

Audigy LS - Not being recognized by gam

I have Windows XP, SP2 with Direct X 9c installed.
There is integrated sound (AC 97) on the motherboard, but I disabled it in the BIOS settings of the board. BUT... I am getting distorted sounds in many games (Dawn of War for example) and all games that support the much vaunted EAX for this card (like ALL <B>Lucasarts</B> games) treat my system as not having EAX. When I do a system scan from Knights of the Old Republic it does NOT detect the Audigy LS, but for some reason thinks that the AC 97 is still there...
Current drivers for the LS are installed. - Have even UNINSTALLED and reinstalled them.
Any ideas?
Unfortunately my motherboard manual is really less than helpful in general. The only setting I can find for the integrated card is set to disabled, so I really do think it is.
Could there be a DRIVER that could be conflicting?
I had also noticed a post from someone else with DirectX 9c and Battlefronts ( a <B>Lucasarts</B> game) on this boards, something about the card no longer being recognized... is there an issue with the creative line and DirectX 9c? I see the card when I do a DXDIAG and no AC 97 there...

X-Fi not being recogni

I bought an X-Fi yesterday with a 5. speaker set up, only the X-Fi is not being recognized. it is an X-Fi Xtreme music, i put it in my PCI slot, space away from my graphics card, and it is connected to the power supply in a 4 pronged slot. It is not showing up at all, i have disabled the onboard sound in bios, and tried disabling the 934 slot or whatever, and no luck. when i try to install the firmware/drivers for the card, It says no unrecognized products.Message Edited by popshuvit3 on 0-30-2005 0:46 PM

Well my board only has a total of 2 PCI slots, below a PCI-e slot that is occupied by my x700 graphics card. It says in the manual and on the knowledge base to keep it one slot away from the graphics card so both can get enough ventilation. The slot in between the 2 is open by the way. Im going to call creative labs today to see what they have to say.
I just think its weird because the first time i installed it i didnt connect it to the PSU. I placed it in the slot away from the graphics card, like the manual says. I powered up my computer, and waited 5 min for it to be recognized, because usually plug and play is immediate. Then i decided to just try to install the X-Fi drivers, and then it comes up with this screen saying "Setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system.Please ensure your product is properly installed before running this setup program. Setup will exit."Message Edited by popshuvit3 on 0-3-2005 02:50 PM

Media card reader not working

Hi:
I have a Compaq Perserio A900 running Vista
My built in media card reader has stopped recognizing my cards when I put them it. Usually a green lite will light up on the card and then the auto run will pop up, but not nothing.
The only thing I've done recently was install a sandisk ultra backup 16gig flash drive hardware and I use the flash drive in the USB port that is just above the card reader.
I also have 2 other USB ports on the right side of the computer. I was going to use on of them for the flash drive, but they seem to be dead or something. I tried to plug my iphone into them and they do nothing, it doesn't charge or anything.
Do each USB's have to be dedicated to a particular pariphial?
I guess I can live with one USB working but I certainly need my card reader to work.
Help would be appreciated.

Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes now

i have a friend who has an ipod touch....everything had been going fine for him and then all of a sudden it was not being recognized any more....what caused this? he did say that he had done an update but i'm not sure what version he has....could this possibly be the problem.....does anyone an a fix for this?

I think Apple is having a problem at the moment, my Ipod touch was always fine syncing until the new update! (Even on older itunes version, I could'nt sync since new update came out) It just isnt recognizing the device...
Ive done all that Apple says to do, none of which helps at all, I reckon its thier own side of the problem they need to fix...

IPod touch not being recognized by iTunes on my MacBook, and on 2 other PCs

Hello,
After scouring the web and these discussion forums to no avail, I've decided to post my problem. I downloaded iTunes 8.0 yesterday, and updated the firmware on my iPod Touch to 1.1.5. I tried connecting my iPod, and nothing happened. It is not being recognized by my MacBook. So, I tried using another USB iPod connector, and nothing happened. I tried using a firewire connector, and nothing happened. Frustrated, I tried connecting to my one roommate's HP laptop and see if it would get recognized there - no. I then tried on my other roommate's laptop. The device was recognized to be USB, but iTunes wouldn't go ahead and try and reformat it. I'm starting to lose my mind! I've tried resetting the iPod touch itself loads of times to no success. I've tried restarting while having the iPod connected to the computer, and still nothing.
What should I do now?

Sorry about not getting to you on the quick-fast, but we aren't Apple employees.
What ended up being the solution you needed, as you said, you couldn't find any information already posted on this problem, so documenting your fix may help someone in the future.
