Q10, cancel write-protect of media card

I want to transfer media data from a 1 GB SD card to a 4 GB SD Card via PC, means: first copy the datafrom the 1 GB card to the PC and then transfer to the 4 GB card. Not possible because there is write-protect on the data.
How can I cancel that?

WIN7 x64 Home Basic, 0x80070013 when trying to write or delete files. Disk is write protected.

Hi,
My SD card reader is not able to write or delete and format sd cards.
WIN7 x64 Home Basic, 0x80070013 when I trying to write or delete files. When I trying to format I can see a message that disk is write protected.
The card is not locked, it's work in Lenovo Idea Pad s10 without any problem, It's also work in my Pentax camera.
I'm almost sure that the problem is software, but can't find solution.
Could Any one help me please?
Laptop is new, 8 days in use.

I have network shutdown 2.0.1 installed and the pcns process normally would be abend in 1 or 2 minute's time. What could be the problem ? Consider to upgrade the network shutdown to 2.2.1 version. Could the problem be resolved in new version ? Any precaution needs to be taken when installing the new version ?

New micro sd card turn write protected same day

I bought an sd card and formatted it with my blackberry curve 8520 and it formatted. I started copying music t it. After, I tried deleting something i did not want anymore and the card gave me errors. I used my pc and it said the card was write-protected. I had two micro sd cards (8GB) turn write protected for no reason. My internet is connected 24/7 and I use microsoft essential up-to-date so i dont see why my card have to turn write protected. I've tried changing security settings in phone on and off later but its still write protected. I've used every means of formatting from ubunto to windows 7. If I delete files with pc or the phone, it disappears from the screen but come back again. None of the file are corrupted cos they work well but i cant delete nor format anything. What is the problem here..?..

HPE-470f built in SD card reader reads all cards as write protected

WIN 7 Professional 64 bit, SP 1 and all updates, latest Bios and drivers installed, HPE-470f
The SD card reader used to work fine. Putting in any chip now, the device sees the chip, reports it has to be formated (not true) and then when it tries, says it can't complete. Disk management shows the drive is write protected. I suspect the internal switch inside the reader is stuck or broken.
have tried: blowing all the dust out of the reader, spraying contact cleaner into the device, trying multiple chips (all of which work fine in my cameras both before and after trying them in the HP reader.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
The internal switch could be broken as you suspect. You didn't indicate that you tried any problem determination procedures so try the below suggestion.
Try this HP posted procedure.
Memory card readers have been in the past built flimsy by some manufacturers. I had to replace two units in my PC during the last three of years.
Try formatting a supported memory card for your PC using the HP format utility. See message #15.
Some have even tried using tape over the media card switch to build it up some in case the reader can't detect the switch position. It's a risky trick as the tape could get stuck inside the reader.

Transfer files of an encrypted media card to another BB Q10 via BBM connection

Hi, I want to transfer files from my encrypted media card (encrypted by using my device password) via BBM to another BB Q10. Will the receiving party require a decryption password to read a file? Can a file from my encrypted media card be displayed on the receiving party's BBQ10 after transfer at all?
Many thanks in advance

Yes, it will be displayed if you send it from that device. NO de-encryption needed for pictures via BBM.

When I try to use the internal hard drive as a scratch disk I get this error "unable to set scratch disk- the selected directory is on write protect or non-writable media. Any ideas on how to fix this. It only happens in fcp.

When I try to use the internal hard drive as a scratch disk I get this error "unable to set scratch disk- the selected directory is on write protect or non-writable media. Any ideas on how to fix this. It only happens in fcp.

By internal, I assume you're referring to your systems (boot) drive. Is it, by chance, a partitioned dive?
Also…although many people successfully use their systems drives as scratch disks, over time you'll have better results using a dedicated drive for your media.
Good luck.

Disk unable to intialize - Media is write protected

Dear community,
My WD external harddrive has suddenly stopped working after coming from Europe. I plugged in the HD into my laptop and I noticed that it does not show up under My Computer, only under Safely Remove Hardware and Devices. So I searched forums a bit and a couple
have said that I should go to Disk Management and see if my drive is there.
Turns out the HD is listed there, however as 'Disk 1: Unknown 1.379 GB, Not Intialized'. There is no blue bar either, it just says the size of the disk and that it is unallocated (it does not have a Volume letter).
When I start up Disk Management it gives me a notification:
Initialize Disk
You must initialize a disk before Logical Disk Manager can access it.
Select Disk:
Disk 1
Use the following partition style for the selected disks:
MBR (Master Boot Record)
GPT (GUID Partition Table)
So I click on MBR and press OK, and it gives me the error 'The media is write protected'.
So I go into the registry under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > System > CurrentControlSet > Control > StorageDevicePolicies
and change the value in 'writeprotect' to 0, and then I reboot my computer. Same error.
I can't even reformat the disk because I cannot find such option, not that I want to really, because I have 1.2 TB worth of data on there that I want to keep so losing the information on this Drive will be quite.... frustrating.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks a lot for your advice & effort. The same message "Diskpart failed to clear disk attributes".
Here is the file of $vds$.log (only a last part of the file). How can I attached the file, I can't find your email add. thanks again.

Backup failed as media is write-protected

Hi,
I am having mds 9000 series ds-c9124-k9 switch. To this switch IBM server and tape Library is connected through fiber cables. When we try to take backup an error message is displayed which says "Media is Write-Protected". I can see the tape library but write is not happening on it. When I remove the switch from the middle and connect server and tape library directly the backup starts taking place.
Is it anything to do with the switch?
Is there anything in the switch that I need to enable for the backup to take place?

Hi,
If the zone has the read-only attribute enabled, then disable it.
Regards,
David

Windows 7 Backup and Restore error code 0x80070013 The media is write protected

I have had a problem using Windows 7 64-bit Backup and Restore on two different brand new PCs. After setting up a backup to a WD MyBook 500GB external USB hard drive and performing the initial backup succesfully, when it tries to do another backup I am
getting a "The media is write protected, (error code 0x80070013) " error. I have even tried to reformat the external drive with no luck in solving the problem. In doing some web searching I did come across someone with a similar problem running a Windows 7
beta last year that appeared to have be fixed by an beta update. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi,
Please try this:
1)
Click Start and type: diskmgmt.msc in Start Search box.
2)
Open Disk Management, right click on the external hard disk.
3)
Click Properties and click Policies.
4)
Check “Better performance”.
5)
Click OK.
Then backup again.
Resource:
When I tried to backup my files, I recieved an error
(0x80070013) saying that media is write protected

Removing write-protection from a memory card

How does one remove the write-protection from a memory car? I have been trying to copy some sound and pictures from my computer to my memory card, but it has been telling me that the memory card is write protected and I have to remove the write protection. someone please help!!!

Hi tessiebest
Is memory card in SD adapter in card reader on your PC, as there is a little slider on the SD adapter which you can slide to "lock" write protect?
You can also "password protect" a memory card in your phone.

How to detect write protected SD card

Hello all
I couldn't find the answer to my question, so I have started a new thread.
Problem: I would like for Labview (or TestStand directly) to programatically detect if an SD (secure digital) card has the "write protection" slider switch active.
Is this possible somehow?
PS: I was also not able to find this information anywhere in Windows 7 as well. I'm using LV 2011 SP1.
PPS: At the moment I try to create a file on the SD card, and detect the write error, which tells me if the card is protected or not. But I would like a more elegant solution.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Unless you want to dive deeply into Windows device drivers itself and intercept some messages on that API level I'm afaid your way of detecting write protection is the only feasable one.
The link by Marco might give you a feasable solution, the problem is that those flags are not always correct for all possible mediums including network shares.

Q10 connects to Media Card but not Device (Photos, Documents, etc.)

Okay, I'm having a doozy of a time trying to figure this out. I've tried seven ways to Sunday and it's just not working the way it should.
In the past, with BB Pearl, Curve ,and Bold, the device always connected upon USB contact with my computer... I could access photos I had taken and saved to the device as well as photos I had taken and saved to a memory card.
Now, it isn't connecting right. If the Mass Storage option is turned on, I can access photos on the memory card (on my computer, it's the F drive)
Oddly enough, the few times it has connected right, they show up as the Y and the Z drives. The Y drive is the memory card and the Z drive is the deivce drive.
I thought I had it figured out, that if I wanted to access the device, then I had to have the mass storage turned to off and if I wanted to access the memory card, I'd have to switch it to on.
It was working that way yesterday. I connected it to my computer and wala, everything connected, and it started backing it up right away.
Today, nada.
I've tried multiple USB cables and they're all working fine. Currently, I'm using the USB cable that came with the Q10.
It doesn't matter if the bluetooth is on or off and it seems to require that the method of accessing documents is to connect by auto detect (vs connect to Windows) in the storage/media access.
Sometimes when I plug it in, both old and new version of BB desktop pop up (BB Link and BB Desktop) The Desktop detects that it's connected to a Q10 but that there is no support for it.
Could it be that I need to uninstall BB Desktop, maybe there's a software conflict in there somewhere?
I just can't get it connect consistently! Help!
Thanks!

Hello scarlett 67,
Sorry to hear you are having issues connecting to your BlackBerry® Q10 smartphone to your PC.
To clarify does your and the PC recognize that the BlackBerry® Q10 smartphone? If so, there should be two drives that are recognized in My Computer; Y drive which is your device memory and X drive is your media card. Ensure to open both the photo and camera files on the X drive to search for the pictures that are saved on your media card.
BlackBerry® Desktop Software and BlackBerry® Link should function successfully on the same computer. Check out this article for more details.
Please let us know if you are able to successfully access your media card on your computer.

How to mount any optical media as read-only write-protected?

Hello,
I am having trouble trying to mount a cd-r as read-only write-protected
So Far, I've tried this command in Terminal:
mount -t iso9660 -ro -o /LinkFolder /Volumes/CDMountSource
I've received this error message:
No such file or directory
What am I doing wrong, and how can I resolve this issue?
JohnDB3975

Kappy's right - CD-Rs are read-only by their very nature - they are either blank (in which case there's no point mounting it), or they contain data (in which case you can't write to the disk).
In addition, though, the reason why your command fails is that mount needs to know the device that you want to mount. This, by definition, will never be anything in /Volumes/ since anything there has already been mounted.
Instead it requires something like /dev2/disk2 or some such (the exact device ID will change depending on how many other disks/devices you have attached. You can use System Information.app (or maybe System Profiler in 10.6.x) to find connected devices and their device ID.
