RAZR MAXX Required Hard Reset, Now Can't Access SD Card?

Today, my GPS signal kept malfunctioning. This was unacceptable as I drive all over the place for work. I called Verizon support and they had me do a hard reset.
After the hard reset, I set up my phone again and was unable to access the SD card. I entered my pin, and the following message showed up on my phone:
SD Card Password Protection
SD card has been secured by another device and cannot be accessed unless formatted.
Tap "OK" and:
SD Card Password Protection
Failed to verify SD card security settings.  Encrypted content is not accessible.
Tap "OK" and I'm taken back to the home screen.
Is there any way to restore the SD card?  If not, how do you reformat the card to make it usable again? When I try to reformat it from the phone, the only option I have under "storage" is "Mount SD Card" which obviously does not work.
Thank you.

    Hi DroidRAzrMaxx0111 - I appreciate you taking the steps to troubleshoot your original concerns and I apologize it had some unintended results! When going to Settings>Location & Security>Data Encryption, is "Storage" currently checked? Is "Encryption key type" greyed out? I look forward to working with you to restore the data!
Thank you,

  • ICS required hard reset, now can't access 32GB SD card

    Saw message this morning that update 6.16.211.XT912 had been downloaded and was ready to install...said it would take 15 minutes...
    45 minutes later, the only thing I could get was emergency dialer.  Powered down, powered up same thing.
    Called tech support, tried powering on/off again and then told to hard reset.
    So after the hard reset, ICS is there and the phone is working....BUT I had encrypted my SD card (32GB) and now when I try to mount it get:
    SD Card Password Protection
    SD card has been secured by another device and cannot be accessed unless formatted.
    Click "OK" and see:
    SD Card Password Protection
    Failed to verify SD card security settings.  Encrypted content is not accessible.
    Click OK" and  back to settings screen!
    Is there anyway to tell the OS what the pin was/is?  If not, how do you reformat the card to make it usable again?  Does it need to be done off the Razr?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks to both poidude and b33 for the replies...but not seeing these options.  OS is 4.0.4 (ICS) and the phone is a Droid Razr...System Version that crashed the phone on install is 6.16.211.XT912.Verizon.en.US.
    When I Select "System Settings" from the Home screen (using the "hard button" on the lower left of the phone) I get a nice new ICS screen.  The first category is "Wireless and Networks", the second category is  "Device".  Under "Device" is "Storage".  Selecting "Storage" leads you to a screen with Major categories of  "Total Phone Storage",  "Application Storage",  "Internal Storage/MNT/SDCARD".
    Under this last category, there  is (after a storage utilization bar chart)  "Erase Internal Storage" , "Manage Internal Storage";
    If I select "Erase Internal Storage", I get  "This action will erase the internal storage on the phone.You will lose all the data on the internal storage";  There is a button "Format Internal Storage".  There is no option to separately format the SD card.
    What may be more relevant is that when the phone boots up, it tries to read the SD card and then displays the "SD Card Password Protection"  messages in my original post.  So the OS is trying to mount the SD, but because it was encrypted (and from what I have read, the encryption key was stored in internal memory, which got wiped when the Verizon rep had me do a factory reset!  There is no way to ever recover this data.  Have looked at Motorola and Droid forums on this...it is really bad.  DO NOT USE ENCRYPTION.  If your phone dies, your data is gone forever)
    The thing is, I cannot use the next major category under system settings, which is "SD CARD/ MNT/ SDCARD-EXT" which has only one option, "Mount SD Card"...if I try to mount the card, I get the same "SD Card Password Protection"  messages again!
    Can anyone who has inserted an SD card into a Droid Razr running 4.0.4. tell me if a brand new SD card is auto formatted?  Do you have to "mount" it first?  The current Verzion "help" shots are not for 4.0.4....ugh

  • Downloaded 10.7 now can't access AppleWorks: "You can't open the application AppleWorks 6 because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."

    Yvan has got AppleWorks working under emulation:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15918064#15918064
    As to iWork:
    Word Processing documents can be opened directly only in Pages.
    Draw Documents can be opened directly only in EazyDraw (the more expensive version from their website, not the cheaper one from the Mac App Store).
    Spreadsheets can be opened directly only in Numbers.
    Presentations can be opened directly only in Keynote.
    To use other programs, or open Painting or Database documents at all, you must export from AppleWorks first. Nothing will import AppleWorks databases: the only way to deal with them is to export them to ASCII text (of course you need AW running to be able to do this) and open them in a database program - the best choices are Bento for very simple databases or FileMaker Pro - please see these pages:

  • Ipad2 tried to update numbers and keynote apps, now can't access either and message says unable to download ?

    Tried to update app's numbers and keynote, now can't access either of them and message says app can't be uploaded at present, so now both apps just show blank download bar, and I can't open them up at all. Can anyone help ?

    Remember that you can always try finishing the downloads in iTunes on your computer and then sync the iPad to try to move the apps to the iPad.
    You can try any of these suggestions as well.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

  • I have changed my email address so I changed my Apple ID and password.  Just realised haven't changed icloud details and now can't access as don't know password or security questions.  Want to delete and set up on new Apple ID.

    I I have changed my email address so I changed my Apple ID and password.  Just realised haven't changed icloud details and now can't access as don't know password or security questions.  Want to delete and set up on new Apple ID.  Help please???

    In order to change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Adobe put CS6 Extended on computer as trial  now can't access regular cs6

    Adobe messenger had an update.  when I updated it turned out to be a trial version of PS CS6 Extended rather than my original Photoshop CS6.  Now trial is over and I can not access my original photoshop CS6 program.  Only option is to purchase the Extended version on line on the Cloud.

    I have re-entered the serial number for my original CS6 and it is back working again.  Thank you all for your quick responses.  I was afraid I was up the creek with no water running.. (:  All is good now.. Ed

    Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Your email account name>Delete Account. A window will popu after you select your email account in the settings and there is a large red Delete Button at the bottom of the window.
    Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Add account. Tap on Add account and start entering your email account details again. If your email account doesn't fit one the per installed accounts in there, tap on Other - and add your account in there.
    I would restart the iPad after you delete the email account, just to be starting "fresh" again.
