Phone won't recognize SD card

I have an 8GB SD card in my phone, and have been using it to store podcasts and music using the app "PodTrapper."
For no reason what so ever, when I woke up on Sat. it seems that podtrapper can’t communicate with me SD. This happened last week, and I pushed so many buttons, I don’t know how I got it to work again. This time, I took out the card, and in the process lost all the music, and still BB can’t find it.
I've already tried to change the directory, However, the directory says it is in the SDCard/BlackBerry/podtrapper, but when I go to "change storage folder," only "store/" directory is found, not the SD card.
I don't think its a podtrapper issues, I have a feeling it's a BB issue, why can't my phone see my SD card?
Here are some of the other warnings I'm getting.
On the main screen in PodTrapper, it says “Downloading paused: Media card unavailable: Mass Media Storage Mode...”
On BB "memory" settings: Big exclamation mark with this message: “Media card is not available because Mass Storage Mode is currently in use.”
On BB screen: when I click on podtrapper: “PodTrapper can’t download or play when mass storage mode is enabled. “ When I click “Yes” to see more information it says in the general settings in BB, to find “Media card” and then “auto enable Mass Media Mode” and change to no –or prompt.
I can’t find a setting for “media card” but I found “Memory” which had the options discussed above with others.
But my BB desktop Manager (for Macs) when I go to sync my music, it says it can’t find the media card. And tells me that I have to have Mass Storage Mode turned on.
Any help would be apprecated. Thanks,

Hello dharland,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
If it is showing you that the Media card is not available because Mass Storage Mode is currently in use that means that the BlackBerry smartphone is connected to a PC and Mass Storage Mode is in use. If this is shown when the device is not connected to the PC please take the battery out of the BlackBerry smartphone to restart it. After the BlackBerry smartphone boots up check to see if the media card is accessible again.
Thank you

New phone won't recognize sim card

I just received a replacement for my motorola droid 4. In the start up tutorial, first thing it says it take out sim card from old phone and put it in the new one. I've done that but the screen stays on A SKM card is needed to operate this phone. Please turn off your phone and insert your SIM card. I have powered off and re inserted the SIM card several times but it continues to not recognize that the SIM card is installed. HELP!!!

One of three things is going on here. Either the SIM is being inserted incorrectly into your replacement phone, the SIM itself needs to be replaced or the SIM slot on the replacement phone is faulty. It's possible that if you touched the gold contact on the side of the SIM card that it was corrupted and now isn't responding inside of your phone.

Phone won't recognize SIM card anymore

About two months ago I bought the Blackberry Curve 3G from Amazon. I bought it unlocked so that when I go back home (I'm from Holland and I'm currently in the US for a year) I can take it with me and use my old sim card. The phone worked fine up until last week; the battery died and when I turned it on as it was charging, I got a message saying the sim card was not available. I turned the phone off again, unplugged it and opened it to see if the sim card was properly inserted. It looked fine so I turned the phone back on: same thing. I've been very careful with my phone, never dropped it, never got wet etc so that can't be it.
It's not the sim card because I tried to put in a different card and that didn't work either. When I tried those two cards in a different phone, they did work.
I contacted Amazon and the company that I bought it from; they told me to contact Blackberry. What can I do??

That can happen when you drop our phone or just some pieces inside the phone near the SIM card are loose. You can contact BlackBerry Customer Support Contact (toll free): 1-877-255-2377 Option #2 and they can help you with this situation but if it is unsuccessful you have to contact Amazon so they can replace your phone immediately..
Hope it helps!

After updating to IOS 8, my phone won't recognize my TV.

After updating to IOS 8, my phone won't recognize my TV via AV cable.

Same problem here on four devices, two of which aren't even running iOS 7. App updates just disappear from the app store app and the app tells me all my apps are up to date when they aren't.
This problem fixed itself on the iPhone 4 this morning after I synced it with iTunes last night. My iPad 3 is now listing app updates, but it stalls when I try to download them, so I'm updating via iTunes now.
I suspect this is a server problem on Apple's end (I noticed iTunes match isn't working this morning either....). Try syncing your phone with iTunes in the meantime or updating each app individually through the purchased app list (just click on it and you can update on a per app basis).

IPhoto won't recognize SD card placed directly into my iMac's SD slot.

iPhoto won't recognize SD card placed directly into my iMac's SD slot. Image Capture shows the name of the SD card but does not show any photos. If I use the Finder I can see all of the photos on the sd card so I know they are there. I've previously imported lots of photos from teh SD slot directly into iPhoto. Tried a second SD card with the same issue.
Any ideas? Thanks for the help
Using iPhoto 8.1.2
Mac OS 10.6.8

Make a temporary, backup copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
any tips on how to recover those lost photos?
If you don't recover the photos with the above you'll need to run a recovery app like MediaRECOVER to recover the photos from the memory card.

A665-s5184x won't recognize SD card

I bought a used Satellite a665-s5184x with a dead hard drive. I replaced the drive and ordered the restore DVDs from Toshiba. It's up and running, but it won't recognize a 2GB SD card plugged into the computer's SD card slot. It WILL recognize the card if I use an external USB card reader.
I've downloaded and installed the SD card driver from the Toshiba web site and restarted the computer but it made no difference.
Any suggestions?

Everything should have been working after using the recovery media. If the SD drive never worked after that, it sounds like it may be hardware failure that happened at the same time.

Week old Macbook Air 2014 won't recognize SD card? At all?

I just bought my first apple computer, and I'm still adjusting to this whole mac thing, but my mac air won't recognize my fully functioning SD card? My PC could read it however.
Is there a program am I supposed to download or something? I made sure the SD card is unlocked and someone even told me to blow in the slot and I did and had someone laugh at me...
I don't know if this is useful info but it's a SanDisk SDHC 32gb card. I'm travelling in like a week and seriously need to empty out my SD card on my laptop. Thank you.

Then I would try a different brand of card. If you still have a problem, then I would make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service. Or switch to USB flash drives.

Perhaps the SIM is corrupted... you can get a new one free at a corporate Verizon store, or call CS and they can send you one in the mail.
In the meantime, be sure the SIM is seated securely, and don't touch the gold contacts. Though I would think with reinserting the SIM several times it would be detected....
Are you sure you are inserting the SIM (a white card with numbers on it, goes in the bottom slot) and not the SD Card (typically black, and a bit smaller than the SIM, and sits in a slot above the SIM).

IPhoto 9.5 won't recognize USB card reader.

I loaded Mavericks this week with iPhoto 9.5. But now iPhoto will not read a card reader and gives me a message that the card reader was ejected improperly. When I force quit iPhoto and reopen, it won't open the card reader so I can import pictures. I have tried several times to get it to read the card reader. Any ideas?
Nevermind, I found someone else's reply about Image Capture. That worked!

iPhoto 9.5 immediately tries to "upgrade" my library using the upgrader.
iPhoto 9.5 asks you to run the upgrader to prepare the library for 9.5. It then will update the library to its format.
You need to do the following:
1 - go to your Applications/Utilities folder and double click on the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application.
2 - select Choose Library, navigate to your iPhoto library, select it and let the upgrader do its thing.
3 - launch iPhoto 9.5 to open and finish the conversion of the library.

System won't recognize microSDHC card

I just purchased a SanDisk 4 GB microSDHC card to use with my phone. I tried to connect it to my mac via the front USB port in order to load some music & pics on it. I am not able to get the finder to locate the card, however. I have gone into finder general preferences, and all boxes are checked to show items on the desktop (my external drives show up on the desktop just fine). I went into disk utility to try and format it, but it doesn't show up there. When I go into the system profiler, I can see it as "MobileMate Micro" on the USB device tree, but otherwise cannot seem to get to it.
The reader I'm using is the one that came with the card, so that shouldn't be an issue. I have a PowerPC G5, running 10.4.11. Hopefully someone has an idea how to make this work. Thanks in advance!
Tanya

I'm in the exact same boat, only difference is that I'm using my card with a Canon Digital Rebel. I can get the images to download to my computer only when I connect the camera and use the software that came with the camera to download. It won't even do that if I just stick the memory card into my Belkin card reader. I have an old SanDisk 256mb card that I stuck in the reader and that one worked (it was formated on a PC, I don't know if that makes any difference).
So yeah, this is really rather frustrating to me, especially because now I have to take out my huge-bum SLR camera and connect it through a USB cable.

After upgrade to E2, it won't recognize SD card anymore?

Hi, I just followed the palm directions to upgrade from a Tungsten E to E2. Before the hotsync the palm recognized my SD card, but it doesn't recognize it anymore afterwards. Am I missing something in the hotsync process?
Thank you!
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

I have a 512mb panasonic SD card from way back that worked on my old Tungesten E, so I am sure that's not the problem. I went through the recommended upgrade steps faithfully with the new Palm Desktop moving a bunch of my old applications into a folder that aren't E2 compatible, then it went ahead and supposedly restored everything. However, it failed to recognize my SD card afterwards no matter what. I found a thread on here that said it may be incompatiblity issues with old software, so I ended up manually restoring my contacts/memos etc and then reinstalling some of the old software.
I must say that I am very disappointed with the whole upgrade process. I should've bought an used Tungsten E in retrospect so I woulnd't have to deal with all the hassle.
As an aside, now that my E2 is semi functional I found that my screen calibration is off, such that I had a hard time tapping on the bottom of the writing area to get the keyboard. I played around for hours to see if I can trick the touch screen application into adjusting, but the best I could do is get the keyboard to work but near the upper portion of the screen it's still off. I do have a screen protector but it's very well plastered to the screen. Do I have a defective unit?
Thanks.

1616 won't recognize Sim card

My first mobile phone, Nokia 1616, arrived this morning. I called my service provider, my Sim is activated, my line is open but the phone says "insert Sim" although it is correctly inserted. I tried a virgin media card from my daughter's phone and got the same message.

It sounds like the 1616 may be locked to another network preventing you from using your sims with it. Contact the person that sold you this phone and ask them if it's network locked, if so ask them which network it is locked to.
