My media card is showing hidden!

Hello,
I have a Curve 9300 and my media card is suddenly showing hidden!
I went to show hidden and found it but it was grayed out! Went to properties to try and unhide it but the unhide button with the tick box was grayed out as well!
Don't know what to do! I tried unhiding everything just in-case it had to be supported by some other folder but still nothing!
Thanks to all that will answer my question!

Pictures from media card not showing up

i've had my Q5 for almost a year now and i've had this problem before and i guess it had just fixed itself in the past, but this time i'm frustratred and have decided to inquire about solutions!
basically what happens is i take pictures like normal and then when i go into the pictures application they're not there. so i tried restarting my phone; now the only pictures that show up are things that i've screenshotted. NONE of the pictures that i've ever taken are showing up. the pictures that i've taken are all stored on my sd card. before you even ask, YES! my sd card is still in my phone.
i guess i figured that when i restarted my phone it would do that thing where the pictures all have to be transferred from the media card to the phone or whatever that thing is.. but it's just not doing that! i've restarted my phone a few times over the last couple days and nothing seems to be working
i hope that SOMEONE can even remotely understand what i'm trying to say & i hope that this problem can be simply fixed! thank you

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Here are several tests for you to try:
Use your media card directly on a computer (via an SD card reader).
Use your media card in an identical BB that has no issues.
Use an already formatted media card from a different BB on your BB.
The results of these tests will tell you if it is your media card or the media card reader on your BB that is the source of the problem.
Good luck!

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.

Old extreme n, and usb media card reader

hey, i am trying to hook up an iogear usb media card reader, a usb memory stick, and a portable 2.5" hdd to the belkin mac mini usb hub, and the hub to the old airport extreme n base station.
the usb stick and the hard drive are recognized without any problems.
the media card reader shows up in the disks tab of the airport utility, but it doesn't show something is connected to the card reader when a card is added. it just keeps showing 0MB in all four slots.
usb hub is powered, card reader is not.
when i connect the reader to the AEBS directly i get the same result, so i don't think the hub is the problem, since it runs other two devices flawlessly.
usb card reader works fine when connected directly to any computer as well.
any ideas? is it not possible to connect a card reader to the base station?

Unfortunately not.
The only devices that work are printers, disk drives and hubs.

Media Card Filled Up

I got my Z10 yesterday, and added all my music and pictures, but for unimportant reasons, i deleted them again within the phone's file manager. After doing so, 5GB of 'Other Data', which I think is the music and pictures I deleted in a hidden 'Trash' file. This happened on my previous blackberry, but I could open the 'Hidden files' and delete them again, however on my Z10 there is no 'Show Hidden' option. Surely there is a way I can find these files and delete them, else my Blackberry is being completely filled up with files i dont want anymore! PLEASE HELP

Hey georgecobb,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
The other data you're seeing includes the Operating System and any installation files for applications. Also the internal memory would be showing this information. What size media card did you place inside the BlackBerry Z10?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

Hp pavilion dv4-1123us Media Card won't read

I have a hp Pavilion dv4-1123us laptop that won't read a 16 GB SDHC media card. The card works in my PC, so the card is good. I have a Scandisk 5-1 media reader hooked to my home PC that would not read it but I found through Scandisk site I needed to download the latest Firmware which I did and now the card works on my PC. The reader has always and still does read a 512 MB and a 2 GB XD cards on my laptop. I am running XP Pro OS.
I have searched the HP site for driver downloads but only see them for Windows 7 and 8 not XP.
Can someone help me on this?

Hello wgray826,
You’re having a problem not being able to read a 16GB SDHC card.
I think that your computer does not support the SDHC card.
Here is a link to your user guide and what cards it supports.
I noticed that it shows the Secure Digital but not the Secure Digital High Capacity.
Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

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!

Uninstalling Watsapp seems to have corrupted my pics! Cant view pics on media Card...

OK, so watsapp went mental, despite doing several battery pulls it remained crazy. So, of course, the next step would be to delete and reinstall. So I deleted the app. I now find that I cannot open all the pictures on my media card :/ It takes ages to index and though the pics are definately there (file manager showing % of memory card free) I cant get to them. I cant pick up from the PC either - blackberry link isnt picking up anything on my card OR device...(however it HAS taken off 16 random pics and put into a folder in my documents; which incidentally, I cant seem to restore to my z10).
Now I know what you're thinking; memory card has somehow been corrupted right? Well...No because I can view ALL my videos, music and 352 pictures (about 510 are inaccessible). I know it cant be the card as the pictures i can see are a complete mix match of dates from 2009 to present but all randomly mixed up :/
I have re-installed watsapp and all convos have backed up...
I have the latest softwarre so its not that. I can access everything on the card from PC but cant get them over into the link :/ WHY did BB have to make it like it has? (If it aint broke dont fix it!) The software was ace, you could just drag and drop. There is no 'restore' option or anything on my BB link.
I am going to do the obvious - battery pull again. If no joy then rebook with no sim. Still no joy Reboot with no media card. I dont know what else to do.
If I format the card will I lose all the pictures on it? I cant backup to the link either - there is no option :/
Can anyone help me? PLEASE

Hey MissKitten,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Just to clarify, you are not able to view the contents of the media card on your PC as well? (Not through BlackBerry Desktop Software but through My Computer).
I would suggest formatting the SD card, however formatting the SD card will erase all data. So I would attempt to back it up if possible.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

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.

I am having the same issue as the previous poster.
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!

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.
If your issue has been solved, please mark the post was solved.

Wipe Media Card Clean

To wipe the media card clean:
Options, Memory, and when memory screen comes up hit blackberry menu key. There is an option to Format the media card. That will wipe music, pictures, etc. stored there clean.
Now, back in the box... see ya' all later, not sure what I am coming back from the Verizon store with!

Media Card Issue *maybe*

I have a 2GB media card in my bberry curve 8330 and when I'm trying to save some pictures to it it's showing "Directory Full" but when I look at my avail free space it's showing 1.1GB Free. I'm stumped as I can't figure out how to save when it's showing no avail space.

Hi,
I also wanted to know what folders I should see on my phone when I go into Media, Explore, Media Card ? From some of the threads I've been reading they mention that you should see blackberry,documents, music etc right under Media Card but mine is laid out as below
What's on my phone currently is :
Media Card
Folder Blackberry
inside Blackberry Folder is
subfolders documents, music, pictures, ringtones, videos & voicenotes
I've always saved all my pictures, videos etc to folder Media Card only not any subfolders...could that be the reason I got the msg "Directory Full" ?
Tonight I'm going to try uploading all of my stuff onto my home computer, doing a memory card format and then redownloading all of my info into the approp folders on the media card.

My media card erased all my pictures and music. Helllppp !!!!

Just two days ago, all of a sudden my BB showed there is some error with the media card and asked if I want to rectify the error. I clicked ‘Yes’ and it erased all my music and pictures. Can you help me retrieve this?
Also, from then on, my phone automatically switches off when I keep it for charging.
Kindly help

Same thing happened to me. Videos and pictures deleted not by choice. Pulled out the battery along with the SIM and reinstalled. Noticed the media card was not pushed in all the way. After reboot, all media re-appeared.

BB Pearl not Recognizing Media Card

I have a 2GB Kingston MicroSD card installed in my BB. It has been working fine for the past month or so (since I got the phone) and has 4 or 5 pictures and another 5 of 6 ringtones stored on it. Earlier this week, I had been hooking the phone up to the computer using the USB cable and it would prompt me if I wanted to access the media. I would say no and go on from there. Then Wednesday, all of a sudden the BB started no longer recognizing the card. Today, I went into the settings and they are:
Media Card Support - On
Encryption Mode - None
Mass Storage Mode Support - On
Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected - Prompt
A media card is not presently inserted in the device.
I take the media card out and plug it into the computer and it is still showing all the files on there. When I plug the phone into the computer, it is not being recognized by the computer.
Any suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I found something from Spingineer here (http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=8100&thread.id=11781) and tried that. It worked like a charm.

My media card is showing hidden!
