New Media Card question

Hi all,
This may sound stupid to some but here goes: I just upgraded to the 8900 from the 8100 and i want to get a larger capacity media card, like 8gb. I currently have 2gb. I was wondering how i transfer the content from one card to another? Do i have to use the desktop manager or is their another way? Instructions would be helpful as i am not very knowledgeable when using media cards.
Thanks in advance for the help

Go to Solution.

The simplest method would be to enable "Mass Storage" on both devices, plug them both to your PC USB, and then simply drag and drop the files from the old device to the new.
What I would recommend, would be to do the above, but move the old Media Card files to your PC first, and you'll have them there as a backup if needed--then move them to the new media card.

Speaker problem with t420i and adding a new graphics card question

I bought a t420i about a month ago and noticed that the speakers could not properly handle muliple sounds at once. What happens is that, say in a music video, the music plays loud and clear, but once the lyrics start the background music fades a bit to about 85% of it's original volume. I had returned the laptop because of this problem but the replacement I got has the SAME exact problem.
In case im not clear, try this example. You know the beeping noise you get when you press an incompatible set of keys? ( like g, h, and b). When I have this noise going simultaneously with a song, the song's sound fades a bit.
This does not happen with headphones, therefore i believe the problem is with the way the speakers are programmed.
Also, if I bought a t420 with just integrated graphics, could I still add a new graphics card? Or can you only add a new graphics card to a thinkpad that initially comes with discrete graphics?

I think the main purpose of the nvs4200m is the ability to use three displays (internal + 2 external). Additionally, nVidia has better driver support for games so even though it is around the same speed, the drivers are better.
The shared ram is still used, unless you disable the HD3000 in the BIOS and run with only the nvs4200m at all times.

Tranferring to a new media card

I am trying to transfer my data from my old SD media card to a new one. I have tried a backup and restore with no sucess;have tried direct copying the old card to the new card, and athough the files are on the card, when I open the pictures folder it indicates there are no photos. Tried the same thing dragging and droppign photos with Blackberry Link with no success.
How can I sucessfully transfer my pictures from the old media card to the new one and make them viewable.

you wont see pics until the device goes through them one by one and can take a while depending on how many you have

GPS and Media card questions

Had my BB curve 8300 about 2 weeks but can't manage to get the gps to find satellites any ideas as to what I need to do would be appreciated .
Also as it only came with a 128mb microsd I need more memory can I replace it with an 8GB micro shsd card?
Thanks in advance
Graham

How does the media card really work? I put in a 2gig card. status shows 1.8, Does the BB8320 use the extra space automatically? Does it need to be formatted? I do not see that the card is really being used.
Thanks for the tech help

Blackberry Bold Media Card Backup

I'm new to the Blackberry (Bold 9650), so I might be missing what I've been looking for. Most of the time, when I start, and particularly reboot my device, it always comes up with the message saying that the new media card has errors and asks if I want to correct the errors. Then it asks me if I want to save lost clusters.
A service tech told me to back up my data card to the computer and then reformat my card.
Questions:
1.     Is the data card and the media card the same?
2.     Will all data, including video and pictures be saved?
3.     How do I save it to the computer?
4.     This is a brand new phone with card. Why is it damaged?
Thank you for any advice and help you can give.

Questions:
1.     Is the data card and the media card the same? Yes, the two names are referring to the same thing.
2.     Will all data, including video and pictures be saved? That depends on how much damage there is to the card, if there is any. Correct errors, save lost clusters....sounds like a bad card. Data may or may not be recoverable, and all you can do is try.
3.     How do I save it to the computer? You'll need a slot on your computer or a card reader, and if it is a micro SD, you'll need an adapter to fit it into the computer slot or card reader. My micro SD came with an adapter - you can find them at places like Office Max, Staples, Best Buy, etc. Put the card in the slot and read it like any other drive - copy everything on the card to a folder on your computer. Then you can reformat the card, "fix" any errors, and try to recopy the information back to the card. Me? I'd spend another $10 and get a new card.
4.     This is a brand new phone with card. Why is it damaged? It happens. The cards are so tiny, and delicate, they get damaged easily. If the phopne came with the card already installed, it may be under warranty and you can get it replaced at the store where you got the phone. Do the backup of all your information on the card, then take it in and see if they will replace the card.
Thank you for any advice and help you can give.

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!

MacBook Pro is corrupting media cards - any suggestions on how to fix this?

Memory cards become corrupted when inserted into the card reader slot. When I put the card back in the camera, the camera malfunctions (Error 99 message). I have had the camera cleaned and sent in for repairs, but there in nothing wrong with it. New media cards work until they are inserted into the Mac. Now the Mac is telling me some file formats can't be read, but the format has not changed from previous images it reads off the same card, taken during the same sessions. Images I was able to see on the camera become unreadable after trying to download in the Mac. The Mac is messing up the cards -- corrupting them, so they aren't usable in the camera anymore. I have been told to try using a media card reader, but that is just a band-aid fix. Does anyone know of a real fix that could remedy this problem?

Make sure that you haven't disable background images.

My Media Card keeps Rebooting my BB Curve 8320

I recently got a replacement bb Curve 8320. I had a media card in my old phone and when I put it in my new phone it kept rebooting my cell phone every 1-2 minutes. I went and bought a 4GB Media Card, had the guy at T-Mobile Format it and then went home and placed all of the photos, videos, music and purchased ring tones from my old media card to my new one. When I placed the new Media Card into my phone it keeps doing the same thing. I get the hour glass and then the phone reboots over and over again. Someone please help!!!! The phone has been wiped out and all applications have been updated, so I am not sure why this is happening.
Very FRUSTRATED!,
Thanks,
Jes

its also best when installing the 4.5 software to your BB, that the media card is removed from the BB during the installation. It has been known to cause these problems. Once the software has been fully reinstalled, you can then reinsert the card.
If your card was in for a previous installtion, best to format the card within the BB again.
babylabes
In my very first post I gave you directions on how to locate the exact version installed on your BB. It is very useful information to be able to help you. Also why do you plug the card into your PC to put files on it, you can plug your BB into your PC and transfer them to it that way. and in your case I would follow the instructions of making sure the .dat files are not being copied over, and make sure you dont have anything that is not media content. something you are transferring is corrupted. dont copy the folders over. Copy content in the folder to the new empty folder on the BB. (reformat while in the BB first so you have the folders)

Media card issues

I have had my Blackberry Pearl for some time and have been very impressed with it however I have never been able to shoot video as when I try it gives the message 'insert media card to enable video'. There was already a media card inserted and I have purchased a new media card in case the fault was with the media card, not the phone - however it is still saying that a media card needs to be inserted to enable video shooting. I have pressed >OPTIONS.....>MEMORY and it states 'a media card is not presently inserted in the device'.....when I have tried two different media cards. Any ideas ??? x

Then try to format it from another device than your Pearl.

With your "old" card in your BB, copy everything to your Computer
Change to your "new" card
Format the "new" card in the BB
Copy everything from the computer back to the "new" card
Using a Card Reader adapter on your computer:
Remove your "old" card from your BB
Use the card reader and copy everything from the old card to your computer
Insert the new card into the BB
Format the new card in the BB
Remove the new card from the BB
Use the card reader and copy everything from the computer to the new card
Put the new card back into the BB
Good luck!

Getting error message after formatting a new media on my Blackberry 9320

This happens everytime to me when I insert a new media card. I tried 5 brand new SanDisk SD cards. My BlackBerry tells me to format the media card and then a message pops up saying; "The media card you inserted contains errors".
After that, I repair it and format the media cards on my PC (Windows). The error message still pops up! It doesn't matter where I repair or format it, the problem just persists.

I've just done almost exactly this. Moved to a brand new imac runnning Leopard, (but I've got the newer model imac - 4Gb, 2.93 Ghz 10.5.6) and not yet bought CS4.
I installed both Illustrator and Photoshop CS2 from the disc (migrating didn't work, suprise suprise so I just wiped everything off and started with a clean install) but both still refused to start until I'd repaired permissions. After I did that it worked fine.
Even using Rosetta, Photoshop CS2 seems to be faster than on the G5 imac I've just replaced (especially using an external firewire 800 drive as a scratch disc). And no apparent bugs so far.

Media card storage can not be accessed due to fatal errors

today, my memory card was fine, then a couple of hours ago, my memory card came up with media card storage can not be accessed due to fatal errors, i have a curve 9300, how do i fix it? :s

Hey anjanetteroland,
Welcome to the forums.
If you try a new media card in your device do you get the same error? Sounds like the media card is damaged.

Question about new video card from MSI - R7750-PMD1GD5/OC

Hello Folks,
I am afraid I can't find an answer to this anywhere, so I have had to post, even though I bet that somewhere, someone has asked this question before !!!!
I changed by Base Unit PC but kept my old monitors because I like them. I run two Acer AL1917's in extended mode.
Well, thats the problem, I did with the old PC which had a graphics card with two DVI outputs and it was easy to do by using two DVI to VGA converters.
However, the new PC has in it an MSI R7750-PMD1GD5/OC which has only one DVI, one HDMI and one Display Port.
Now, I know what the DVI and HDMI Ports are but have no idea what the Display port is!
THE MAIN PROBLEM IS I CAN'T FIND A WAY TO RUN TWO VGA MONITORS IN EXTENDED MODE with these three outputs?
The monitors are VGA ONLY, so is there any way I can use this display card at all to run two vga monitors in extended mode or should I just eBay it !!!
At the moment I have swapped it out for an old Nvidia GeForce GTS 450 which works fine with two DVI's. But I was rather hoping to be able to use my new MSI card.
Is there any way I can do this please?
Many thanks for any help that anyone is able to give.
With best wishes to all for the New Year Ahead,
Trevor
