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 is the card formatted?
    You can check this in Disk Utility.
    Macs can read and write Microsoft FAT format. Microsoft NTFS format is read only unless you get a copy of this: http://www.tuxera.com/products/tuxera-ntfs-for-mac/

  • How can i remove write protection from a Hard drive

    Cant write to HDD on win7 keeps saying "the disk is write protected"  Drive is in a removable IDE caddy, I put the drive in a USB caddy and was able to format the drive, but still get the same error when i try to write to it, I took ownership of the drive and it shows me as the owner. The drive was used in XP previously but i no longer have an XP system since upgrading to Win7. I have removed the partition with Paragon drive copy and re partitioned the drive, renamed the drive but still gives the same error.

    I used succesfully diskpart (on my Windows 7).
    In "Command prompt" (Start -> Run -> cmd) type "diskpart" and press enter.
    (I wrote "cmd" and then on right click menu I clicked on "Run as administrator").
    In diskpart utility (in the same dos window) you have to type "list volume".
    You can see your disk (I see all my 4 partitions on the disk that give me the problem) with a progressive number index.
    Type "select volume #" and press enter, "#" is the number corresponding to your disk/partition.
    Wait the response.
    Then type "attributes disk clear readonly" and wait (I wait 2/3 minutes) for the result.
    It says that operation was completed, and I can write on my partitions (and run checking/scanning on it).
    Hi,
    The hard drive I had problems with had 3 partitions and at least one was write-protected. Just to make sure I used the above "diskpart" commands on each volume and it cleared the write-protected attributes and was able to format the 10Gb partition I used
    just for storing the Pagefile.sys file.
    The write-protect attribute on this WD AV 1Tb h/drive may have been added as it was previously used in my Foxtel IQ box. I used Ghost 11.5.1 to clone my failing WD 1Tb h/drive that had 1376 delays and 50 bad sectors when scanned with HDD Regenerator
    onto the previously used Foxtel IQ h/drive.
    Cheerz ;)
    Thanks again, I was pulling my hair out to find a solution.

  • How to remove an entry from a memory area?

    Hi Experts,
    We are facing an issue where a user has exported some wrong data to ABAP memory through an export statement.
    The export statement that exported the values is:
    EXPORT range_tab_epown
                  range_tab_dpown
                  popnot   TO DATABASE indx(oh) ID indxkey.
    Due to the restrictions in the design of the program, EXPORT statement cannot be executed again for this user.
    All we want is to erase this data somehow from the memory area OH.
    ->We do not want to create a Z report which will erase/replace the data through ABAP statements FREE/DELETE.
    ->Also ,we cannot alter the data through export statement in debugging mode.
    ->Resetting the buffer of this user through SU53 Or Log-in/ Log-off does not erase the data.
    *Please suggest if we can remove the data from ABAP memory (area OH) for a particular user without creating a Z report.
    *Is there any utility program or function module that exists which can help us erase this data?
    *Also, please throw some light on the memory where the data is getting stored through the above EXPORT statement.
    Regards,
    Sid

    >EXPORT range_tab_epown
    >range_tab_dpown
    >popnot TO DATABASE indx(oh) ID indxkey.
    This export doesn't write to any memory area.  As the key words suggest - it writes TO DATABASE.  specifically to cluster table indx, with relid oh.
    As far as I am aware, there are no utility programs - you will have to have some ABAP developed.

  • Remove Write Protection of my HD

    I have two WD-My Passport HD, 500 GB. Im using them as a DJ device. I formatted them in MS-DOS (FAT), using the Disk Utilities. But after I put the songs in the HD, when I connect it to the CD Player, it appears the message "ERROR - Remove Write Protection”. How do I remove this protection?

    Thanks very much for replying! I have had my memory stick for a good while and it has always worked perfectly fine on any computer (OSX and Windows) and I've been able to save or delete files as I wish. But then suddenly the stick just wouldn't let me save any files in it anymore and says it's write protected (hope that's the right term, I'm not an English speaker). So I've been trying to figure out how to remove the write protection so that I would be able to use it as I did before, e.g. saving/deleting files. I came across with tips that said that in some sticks there could be a physical switch and just wanted to make clear that this is not the case with my stick. I did found some instructions how to remove the protection in Windows, but they were no use for me. Does this make it any clearer, I hope ?

  • I updated my Macbook Pro last week to Lion.  I went to go import pictures from a memory card to my iPhoto, but only a portion of them loaded before my iPhoto froze and I had to Force Quit it. Now iPhoto won't even open... Help!

    Please! I need an answer fast!!!!

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • How can I transfer photos from a memory card to my compter with the hp 8600 ?

    I can't transfer photos from my memory card to the computer. It only gives me the option to print them.

    Do you have this printer connected through a network? (wireless or ethernet)
    Is this computer you are using a Windows PC?
    If so, try the steps in the thread located here.

  • How do I delete photos from my ipad that have been imported directly from a memory card.

      I have searched loads of forums and they all talk about using itunes to delete photos, but this seems to only apply to photos that orginated from a PC. The photos I am trying to delete were loaded directly on to my ipad from a memory card and don't appear in itunes. I know I can delete photos individually on my ipad but I have hundreds of them, The only option I have found that comes close to what I want to do is back-up ipad, delete photos I don't want to restore (not sure where to find back up or how to delete), rebuild ipad and restore -  this seems a long winded way of doing something that would take less than a minute in windows. I have an ipad1 and am running windows 7 on a standards Windows PC.
    Many Thanks in anticipation that someone will be able to help me
    Regards
    Keith

    Photos copied to the iPad via the camera connection kit (and those taken with the iPad or saved from emails/websites etc) should appear in Windows Explorer on a PC so you should be able to delete them from there - those types of photos should make the iPad appear as a camera to your computer. You should also be able to delete them at the end of the photo import process via, for example, the camera wizard.

    Import the music and photos from the memory card with your computer and place the music in your iTunes library.
    Place the photos in a folder to be designated for transfer to your iPhone.
    Select Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes to transfer this music and any other music in your iTunes library and select Sync Photos under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes selecting the folder where these photos are located followed by a sync.

    You may not be able to get a refund, since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
    It's possible they'll make an exception for you, particularly if the problem was on their end preventing the movie from downloading in a reasonable time.
    Good luck.

    If that is the incorrect name you're describing change it to your correct name.
