Moving applications to the Media Card

I have a Blackberry 9300 3g curve. Whenever I download any application it ets stored in the phone memory, I have all my media files and the photos stored in the Media card. How can I move the applications such as games, themes etc. to the media card storage.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
You cannot do as you desire. To function, all applications must be installed to the protected AppMemory space. There is no alternative.
Good luck!

Can not access the media card files Blackberry 8310 - HELP

Can not access the media card files Blackberry 8310.
I had a battery drain problem. The unit would only last 16 hours before completely drained. Purchased a new battery with the same result. I figured that I should try a complete reset so I did a hard wipe. Once that was done and I loaded the unit back up and returned online, the battery drain problem was resolved but now I can not access the media card.
Here are the messages:
“A media card has been inserted that contains encrypted content which will be unaccessible by this device”
I can see the files. I have transferred them to my PC via the SD card but I can not open them. Here are the settings:
Media card support – ON
Encryption Mode: - Security Password & Device
Encrypt Media Files – YES
Mass Storage Mode Support – OFF
Please note – I can not change the encryption mode since it is set by policy
Security Options – General Settings – Content Protection – Disabled
The version of Desktop Manage I am using is 4.2.1.8. When I try to use the Media Manager to move the files, I get an error message and can’t move the file. If I access the file on the card and try to display it, I get:
Unable to display file /media card/ pictures/ing000000xx.jpg.rem
Here is what I have tried (from the advice on this board):
1)     Read the files directly off the media card – No good
2)     Create a “new” folder on the media card and move a file into it then try to read it – No good
3)     Email the file then read it – No good
4)     Reset Encryption mode to off then try – Can’t do it – IT Policy setting
5)     Be sure that the password was set the same as before the wipe (setting is password & device) – Can’t do it – The Blackberry prevents me from using an old password.
So I think I can’t read the files because I can’t replicate the encryption key. Could that be right? My problem is that I do not understand why this would be the case. It is still the same device and since it knows what the old password was (because it would prevent me from using it again), why would it not generate a key to access the files?
All I am trying to get off the card are pictures on my 6 year old … some are priceless. Can someone help me do this? One would think that this should not be this hard but from all the postings I have found, it seems that it is. And yes, shame on me for not moving the files before I did the reset (THAT will never happen again!) but this being unrecoverable is unconscionable given how many seem to find themselves in this situation.
Thanks for any help you can offer!

Not sure why you couldn't see them using mass storage mode. Did you have the pics stored on your media card? Try going to media-menu-explore-media card-blackberry-pictures See what the extension is on your pics. If any have the extension such as .jpg.rem they are encrypted.

Problem with storing pictures to the Media Card

I set my 8330 to store pictures to the media card. It works for a while and then the device reverts to storing it on the device memory. It does this without asking or telling me that it's done so. It's very frustrating. Anybody have any idea why it would do this?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
That's a very odd situation. Can you tell us, when this happens, does your BB "see" the media card at all? For instance, if when you notice this, can you do Media > Explore and get to the media card still?
Another thing to check is your device OS version -- perhaps there is an update from your carrier that has fixes that would be useful...you can check your carrier via this portal:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
If your device OS is current, then you might want to try a different media card...perhaps there is something amiss with the one you have.
Also, how to do you go about recovering and getting it to again store on the media card?
Thanks!

Can't retrieve pics or video from the media card in curve 8320

Hi. New & dumb to smartphones, so this 8320 is a big step into the current world. It was cheap, works great & I'm slowly getting it figured out.
Only one issue so far. When I took pics without a media card & they were stored on the device, I could use the desktop software to transfer them to my computer.
After I installed a media card, even though the the pics & videos are stored on the card and I can view them on the phone, the desktop software doesn't see them. It only shows the device. In the options menu, the media card support is on, & mass storage mode is enabled,
When I plug the phone in to the computer, even though the computer beeps to show connection & the BB desktop software shows the phone connected, windows explorer does not recognize an external drive (phone) and in the desktop software there is no option for storing the pics on anything other than the device. I can remove the card & use a card reader to transfer the pics, but the BB software can't see them.
What am I missing?

Before start receiving the pictures in your blackberry device go to media, press menu and receive using bluetooth.
After this start the file transfer and you'll be ok.
If I help you with any inquire, thank you for click kudos in my post.

Moving music to my media card in my BB pearl

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME! I just bought the new 8130 pearl... i can't get music on it! (I've bought 2 songs through iTunes) I tried using BB Media Sync and it won't work... I've tried draging and droping and it's not working...
When I look at my BB card through windows it shows the songs. When I unplug my BB from the computer and try to find them on my phone it shows no songs!
What am I doing wrong?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

First, there could be one main problem: BlackBerrys will not play purchased or bought iTunes with the iTune DRM Digitial Rights on the file.
There is a common method to remove DRM WMA, M4P with 2 steps:
1. Burn the DRM WMA, M4P to a CD.
2. Rip the DRM WMA, M4P from CD to your computer as MP3 format , then the DRM should be removed from the WMA files.

Problems moving applications to the trash

I'm having trouble with moving some items from my harddrive to the trash. I get the message that the item cannot be moved to the trash because it is "owned by the root". Does this sound familiar to anyone? I'd love to figure out what the deal is and how I can detete these files. Thanks!

Elizabeth.....
Use Terminal to ...
Force-delete an item from desktop or Trash....this also will remove a locked
file/folder and a “file that is in use”
1. Launch Terminal...type/copy/paste...space after rm
sudo rm -rf <space> ..this deletes file or folder
sudo rm -R <space> this deletes file or folder
2. Drag the offending item into the Terminal window. The path to it will appear.
•To force-delete more than one item from the trash....click a item and press Shift or Command as you click additional items .
3. Click on Terminal window, press Enter
4. type your administrator password. Press Enter
5. Click on the Desktop or the Trash window and the file will vanish.
Note.. If you attempt the above again within five minutes, step 4 are not required.
• If this does not work, then visit The XLab FAQs ....

Would this storage card work in the Media Card slot of my W700?

Hi,
I'm interested in buying this Lexar 133x SDHC Card:
http://lexarmedia.com/products/lexar-professional-133x-sdhc-card?category=213
Basicallyl, I want to use it as another storage drive (as opposed to putting in my camera or other device). So after I insert it, I want to be able to format it and use it as another storage area. Would this card work?
The reason I'm gravitating to that card is that is that I see in the specs that is minimum 20MB/sec read transfer rate and it does not take up one of my USB slots.
However, even if it does work, would I be better off with their Echo ZX plug-and-forget it USB drive when they ship it?:
http://lexarmedia.com/products/lexar-echo-zx-backup-drive-0?category=90
If both work, which would be faster as a storage drive?
Thanks.

It is a SDHC card so it should work on the card reader of the W700.

Jin Li

Hey adrianjmartin,
Have you tried using the new version of BlackBerry Desktop Software? I would recommend uninstalling any older version and then install the new version which can be found at this link link http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/

I have moved my iPhoto to an external hard drive. so now I have to have the external hard drive connected to my laptop to view the photos. Now when I want to import photos into iPhoto from my media card, I don't have room to connect both devices.

I have moved my iPhoto to an external hard drive. so now I have to have the external hard drive connected to my laptop to view the photos. Now when I want to import photos into iPhoto from my media card, I don't have room to connect both devices at the same time as the usb ports are side by side. How do I import my photos from the media card to the external hard drive now?

First transfer the photos to a folder on your MacBook using Image Capture in your Utilities folder. Then move them to iPhoto.
BTW, you might want to invest in a cheap USB hub.

Do media cards suck the life out of your battery?

I just inserted a media card to my bb curve last night, and my battery was dead this morning when I woke up (it was next to fully charged last night). Anyone know if the media card sucks battery life? I'm pretty sure all the applications were closed. And, I don't think the phone shut down when scheduled either, so I'm wondering if something is running in the background now. Any advice would be appreciated.

No, a media card won't do that, in itself.
However--inserting a media card does cause the device to scan, index and create cache files, and thumbnails of the files and images on a media card, still not enough to drain a battery.
It is very likely only coincidental, and you probably did have something running in the background like an open active browser page or application.

Media Card wont read on the BB

I have read through the forums on various help that is provided for this problem but for me non of it helped.
When i put my media card on it wont read it unless i turn mass storage mode On, but when i turn it off it will read it on the BB but not on the pockemac sync program and wont recognize it as a media card.
I am using a mac so i dont know if that is a problem but help would be greatly appreciated.
thx

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Leave masws storage mode enabled. It allows you PC to access the media card to load data.
You can also set it to not prompt you to open mass media mode when connected.
Just to make sure, make sure these options are enabled:
Media Card window ON
Encryption NONE Mass storage support ON
Auto enable when connected YES

Storage directly to the 8800 Media Card from the Internet

Is it possible to store information directly to the media card from the web browser? Is there a way to store to the media card from the phone?

Possible to access an .html file stored on media card?

I have downloaded web pages I built from my computer to the media card in my Blackberry 8310. After opening MEDIA on the home screen, I can click the menu > explore > navigate to the .html file and it will display. Javascript does not function, however, even if it is turned on and is functional with web sites through my browser. I presume I am having this problem because I am not viewing the file using a browser with this method. This lead me to the thought of accessing the file through my browser. When I start my browser then use the menu key > Go to, I cannot find the proper format command to access a file on the media card. I am attempting a similar request as using a browser on a puter then typing c:\directory\file. I have used the file//C:\ format along with other formats to no avail. I am not sure if the device has a name. I have tried Device:\ but that doesn't work. I tried \Media Card and that doesn't work either. I moved the files into devce memory hoping I could access it. I would appreciate any help with either method I have tried. Thanks, Ted

I doubt it is possible. Pages is fairly limited when it comes to html.
I would try finding another application or send the files as pdf. PDF may not be a good idea in marketing material, as the receiver may not even open the file, but if you present it in a nice way, it may work.
