My Sandisk Ultra Micro SDXC 64 GB stopped working properly

I have a Sandisk Ultra Micro SDXC 64GB card which I use in my Samsung s4 phone for adding lots of music.  All has been working fine for 18 months or so.  I load / remove music onto it using Windows Explorer. Then as of this week I couldn't copy new music onto it, nor could I delete old stuff.  Or actually it seemed I could (it looked like all had been done fine, but then a few hours later it restored itself to its original state: with the old music still on, and not the new music).  I went through this quite a number of times coz I thought I was going crazy.  Anyway I finally realized I was not when playing a new song actually played one I had supposedly deleted.  So I realized the drive had got its directory file allocation tables screwed and probably needed to be reformatted. So I tried this using Windows.  However Quick Format failed, so I tried the full version.  Well after waiting 30 mins or so (grr) it finally said it cannot complete the formatting process ("windows was unable to compete the format").  So I downloaded SDFormatter to see if this would help.  But trying to format with that, I just got the error: "The Memory Card is write-protected. Please release the write protect switch".  But it is not, I set the write-protect on the card adaptor 10x to forward position.  So then I tried another card adaptor, but no luck here.  (I also tried this with another micro SD card on the same adaptor, but did not get this error) I thought then to try chkdsk /f h: from the command line, but I got the really useful statement:"The volume has been successfully checked, but Windows was unable to mark the volume as clean.Windows has checked the file system and found no problems." No viruses found either.  Has this card just died?  Or can I use some other method to reformat it?

Hello, in that case the card seems to be write protected, in that case there is nothing you can do and the card needs to be replaced. So you can go to the place of purchase and replace the card or you can replace it directly through Sandisk under this link http://kb.sandisk.com/app/rmaform

  • I get the following message: Mozilla Firefox plugin-container has stopped working properly. What do I do?

    the message:" Mozilla Firefox plugin-container has stopped working properly" appears regularly in my maintenance center. I am on Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6.17

    I had the same type of failure. It was caused by a FF upgrade from V4 to V9.1. Dearing 1955 did not say what version caused the problem. My USB ports started acting up. I could not install the Webcam that was installed before. The HP Scanner of my OJ 8500 stopped working (USB). Did get it to work via Wireless. Removing FF did not clear the problem. Believe I have infected USB driver now.

    I am using windows 7
    Latest itunes version (for windows)
    I have thousand of songs in icloud, which were uploading fine until 3 days ago.
    Windows message reads something like: Itunes has stopped working properly, windows will now close the programme blah blah balh.

  • After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly.  Is there a fix/test.

    After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly. 
    What I get is a RED exclamation and "Not Delivered".  It happens even if i resend it over and over.
    I have made sure that the 3 devices all have the same settins in iMessage.
    I have made sure to try doing it from the same network and from the cell provider network.
    I have tried rebooting all three devices.
    The only way to get it to work on my iphone and iPad is to dissable it in Mavericks on my MacBook Pro.
    Is this a "feature" of the new OS?

    Hi,
    On the iOS devices remove the Apple ID.
    Set the device in to Airplane Mode (this breaks with the server)
    Start with the iPhone to add back the Apple ID - only after you see the iPhone Number is Verified.
    The Restart the Mac Version
    Accept the pops ups that state what the iPhone  is using.
    Do same on iPad.

  • Mozilla Firefox plugin-container has stopped working properly

    Mozilla Firefox plugin-container has stopped working properly. FOR THE UMPTEENTH DAMN TIME... HOW DO I FIX THIS on Firefox 3.6.13!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
    ''edited by a moderator - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Forum+and+chat+rules+and+guidelines ''

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

  • Stocks App Stopped Working Properly

    The Stocks App on my 3G iPhone has recently stopped working properly.
    When I open it, the current share prices all still come up as expected, but the numbers at the right hand side in the green and red boxes where it tells you the + or - shift for the day no longer show. Now they are all blank.
    Has anyone else experienced this? If so, do you have any suggestions to fix it?

    Have you tried a reset (hold the sleep/wake & home button until the Apple logo appears while ignoring the slide to turn off)?

  • Clone tool has stopped working properly, the sample area doesn't follow the target area?

    Clone tool has stopped working properly, the sample area doesn't follow the target area?

    I understand. I was very unhappy with Adobe when my PSE 11 stoped working properly. I had it for only about 6-7months before I updated my software on my imac and it all went downhill.... Then to add to that my Adobe account was hacked. Adobe never informed me of this situation. I heard through a friend that I should check to see if I was one of the very many who's online accounts were tampered with. I had to reset every single password and username for nearly 30 online accounts to avoid any further tampering with the hackers. And all Adobe suggested was for me to pay for an upgrade to PSE 12 which I did but wasnt very impressed to say the least ( i was on an online chat with them for over 2hours trying to get my PSE 11 issues solved to no avail). Then this sluggish performance starts happening again using the new version PSE 12?. I'm going to stay clear of adobe if I have the option to purchase similiar software from another supplier. I would and will encourage anyone else who has problems with there software to do the same. Older versions should work perfectly fine for ages. I wonder If Adobe is trying to get us all to pay for the monthly subscription option(s) to avoid having issues with older versions of their software. As the subscription option keeps you ontop of all the latest versions... I wouldn't put it past them.
    All the best returned,

  • Spotlight has stopped working properly. Even when a known file is entered (with full file name) in search, it fails to find it. Any ideas?

    Spotlight has stopped working properly. Even when a known file is entered (with full file name) in search, it fails to find it. It finds some things, but is not to be depended upon. Any ideas?

    Try reindexing spotlight: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes - Apple Support
    If you still have problems, open Console app, select All Messages, then search for mds in the search field. Then search for mdworker. See if there are any messages indicating it is having problems with certain files.
    You can also delete the index altogether and cause it to reindex with a command in Terminal. I have always assumed the method above will do the same, but I'm not certain. You must run this command while  logged into an admin account. Copy the whole line and paste it into Terminal.
    sudo mdutil -E /
    sudo temporarily elevates your privileges and will ask for your password. When you type it in, there won't be any response in the Terminal. Just type it and hit return.

  • HT3669 After update the printer HP Deskjet F300 Series stopped working properly

    I would like to notify you that i use drivers for HP Deskjet F300 Series Version 1.0.1 and after this update the version upgraded in version 2.0.0 and the printer stopped working properly. I removed from library all folder of HP drivers and then i re-install old version from .dmg file from this official link of HP and now it works properly again.

    Hi ds5710,
    I understand you have a Deskjet F300 series printer that is currently telling you it's offline and won't print. I will certainly do my best to assist you in resolving this issue.
    If you're using Windows, I would suggest you start by downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor as it should be able to rectify whatever is causing your printer to show as offline.
    If that doesn't resolve your issue, or you're using a Mac, please get back to me with which version of Windows or Mac that you're using and I will certainly see what else we can do!

  • Adobe flash player stopped working properly please help

    i'm using adobe flash player version10.0.32.18 on vista, and everytime i open my facebook application, i often encountered adobe flash player stopped working properly, then the page will recover, then after few minutes it will stopped then recover again. please someone help me how to solve this problem.

    Hi, Thanks. Your Flash Player files and the SWO(if it is vs 10.0.45.2) are correct. Are you having problems on other sites
    or just that one? Are you getting a message that is different than "you need to update your Flash Player?"
    Many times it is the websites or if you are getting this from a game, then that can be causing the problem. I haven't been
    able to determine if the websites that have NOT updated to support the latest Flash Player are just putting out a generic
    message or not.  You might want to check with the site to see if they support FP vs 10.0.45.2.
    You may have an add on that is conflicting also, it is hard to tell. Some anti-virus programs have add ons that may conflict.
    Since several users are having problems with Facebook, Farmville, Zynga, etc. my opinion is that it is not your computer.

  • Firefox stops working properly after a period of time

    btw, I can't type in this box. I'm typing this in another program and pasting it in.
    Using Firefox 5. I just installed Lion yesterday for Mac, but this problem occurred even before I did so. After a period of time, FF stops working properly. I notice it when I try to open a new tab. It won't switch to the new tab and the screen turns blue. If I type in a web address, it looks like it tries to go there, but it doesn't. When I look at any other already open tab, it has the blue screen. I have to restart to get my proper web pages back.

    Whenever I click on "More System Details" there are several things I hope I won't see. Your Conduit Engine is one of them. It is malware by any reasonable definition and a cause of major problems with Firefox.
    Google for information and advice as to how to get rid of it. Someone may come along with more specific advice..
    If things aren't perfect after that you could do some straightforward troubleshooting(Safe Mode, Problematic Extensions, Hardware Acceleration etc) - in default theme -

  • Tab stops working properly if .swf is loaded by SWFLoader

    Hello,
    I have swf file built by Flash CS5. The file contains different user interface entities like dialogs and buttons.
    All the objects are exported for ActionScript and controlled by the ActionScript code.
    I made loader that loads above mentioned swf by SWFLoader and shows the content.
    If I use this loader the Tab button stops working properly. It doesn't change the keyboard focus.
    What is wrong? What have I missed?
    Thank you,
