USB Memory card

Do you have a software update for Lumia 720 wherein you could use a basic USB memory card to store videos & music and mount it to the phone. Android smart phones have this feature. Thanks.

Do you mean the USB Host feature?

USB memory card reader not working since latest security update

Hi, I have an iApp CR-e500 multi-format memory card reader; worked great prior to the latest security update. Now every time I plug it in I get the following errors in the console:
Oct 19 03:37:00 dachshund kernel[0]: USBF: 1496.818 AppleUSBEHCI[0x1b4d800]::Found a transaction past the completion deadline on bus 91, timing out!
Oct 19 03:37:00 dachshund kernel[0]: USBF: 1496.826 AppleUSBEHCI[0x1b4d800]::DoIOTransfer - error 0xe000404f queueing request
The reader works fine on my office Windows laptop and my USB pendrive still works on my Mac, so the USB ports appear to be functional; they just don't like this thing anymore.
Was there a USB driver change? If so is there anything I can do to sort this? I suppose I could just buy a new card reader if someone can confirm one that works with the latest security update of 10.4.11, that would be great.
Alternatively if Apple could please loosen up whatever they tightened in their USB drivers that would be nice as well...

Memory Card Formats??

Hi, I have 2 digital photo frames which take SD Memory cards.
When trying to copy photo's from iPhoto to the cards via a usb card reader, the card gets around half full before I get a "The item cannot be copied because there is not enough free space." message.
Is there a trick to formatting the card to be able to use it's full capacity??
Any advice/help would be gratefully recieved!!
Cheers,

Had the exact same problem...this is exactly what you have to do (at least this is exactly what I did after so many tries and it finally recognizes all 2Gig of my SD card for a digital frame. OK, here goes:
1. mount the drive with the reader
2. open disk utilities
3. once the drives mount, you should see two drives indicating your DS card, and then the mount under it (the first SD icon is the USB orange icon)
4. select the first mount (orange USB) and then click erase, choose MS-DOS then press the security options and do a "zero" out.
5. once this process is complete (about 2 minutes) you will be able to use up all 2Gig (well, 1.9 to be more exact)
Hope this helps. worked for me.

5800 memory card disk error

I just got my phone back from repair (home screen buttons weren't working and music player stopped after one song). The home screen now works fine but as soon as I put my memory card back in it now comes up with 'disk error unable to write'. My laptop won't recognise the phone either. It won't let me format the card either as this makes it hang and I have to take the battery out.
Is there a solution to this or am I going to have to take it back for another repair?
I cannot wait for my contract to be up.

Memory card seems corrupted, try to use Card reader on your laptop to backup data first, then format card, if successfully formated, then insert to phone, hopefully it'll work after being formatted.

Please help!!!!!! BB 8310 Sandisk SDHC 4GB Media Card Formatting Error

Please help. I bought a Sandisk SDHC 4GB Memory Card and I keep getting this message after I choose format.
"Media card cannot be read. Verify that the menory card is formatted".
I updated the software in my 8310 from 4.2 to 4.5, having been told that was the problem. I've taken the battery and the memory card out of the phone for several minutes and reinstalled just to get the same error message. Why is is so difficult to get this thing to work? Are there settings that need to be change or is there a way of doing this through desktop manager? I'm reading that you can format the card on your computer, I have no clue how to do that and especially with a PC with Vista.
Is it easier to return the memory card and buy one that is formatted? Please help, I've wasted the better part of a weekend with this already.
Thank you.

Hi,
The message says the Blackberry can sense a media card but cannot read the card.
Irwinll is correct that returning it is the easiest, but a card reader will be useful to you.
They are about $10.00 and well worth the price.
Thanks,

USB/memory card reader problem, any help would be great

Hello all, I bought a new memory card reader today and our computer will not recoginize it's there. The reader is a Targus universal 32 in 1 memory card reader/writer and I think the model is TGR-CRD25, it also says USB 2.0. I didn't have any problems with the old reader as far as the machine "seeing" the reader. This new reader does show up in the system profiler but the little power light will not come on and I get a "low power for device" type message when I plug it in. I unplugged the keyboard and plugged in the new reader to the USB port where the keyboard was connected and the light came on on the reader but iphoto was still saying no storage device when I tried to import pictures? Any ideas?

There is very little extra power available once the mouse is hooked to the keyboard. The "real" solution is to get a USB Hub with its own power supply.

Importing video from Nikon D90 to iMovie by USB memory card reader

Hi,
I've been trying to import the videos in my camera (Nikon D90) using memory card reader (USB).
I always transfer the photos to computer using memory card reader and my new Mac seems to be happy to import the photos to iPhotos. That's a good news!
However, when I try to transfer the video from D90 to Mac using the same card reader, the videos go to iPhoto straightaway. I can't import the video to iMovie! I can find the videos in Finder (All Movies), and iPhoto, but can't transfer them to iMovie. Can anybody tell me how to do this? .. if it's possible.

You can download a free copy of ViewNX2 from the Nikon Website. This software will install a program called Nikon Transfer 2 and will take over the auto loading from iPhoto when you insert a memory card into your card reader. Then you need to import the footage manually into iMovie 11. But before you do that, ViewNX2 has a built in movie editor to allow you to trim the footage before import.
Hope this helps..

Nokia 6288 Memory Card Formatted

I have accidentally formatted my memory card and lost all the data. I have bought my phone in Dubai and I am now in Manila. Can anyone help me how to have the same data by sending me a link or zip file of it? Thanks!

Muhammad,
Bring your phone to a Nokia Service Center and ask them if they can load the "Preloaded Files"on your memory card.
You can also call the Nokia CareLine for technical assistance.

"Memory Card Corrupted" - Error Help!!!

Hi, I have a Nokia 6210 Navigator, and my memory card suddenly stopped working when I was opening a file. A message came up "Memory Card Corrupted". When I went into File manager, it showed my memory card as not there (grayed out). When I tried to explore it within my phone, there was no option to format, and there was a message "Memory Card Corrupted" on the screen.
When I connected my phone via Mass Storage Mode, it showed it as a drive, though when I tried to open it, it said "Insert a disk into I:\". It does not show up in Disk Management or CMD, and when I tried to format or run Check Disk, it would not run - "Drive not Ready". When I connected it into PC Suite Mode, I could perform a backup, though when I checked it could only backup my Phone Memory, not the card. The other modes don't work either.
I have tried many different softwares to try and backup/recover my data, and to try and format it, though that didn't work either
I have tried restarting my phone many times, but that didn't work either.

no other way to fix it unfortunately. unless you want to go to the trouble of taking your phone to your local Nokia Care Centre, where they will probably do the same thing anyway and you will still have to setup all your applications etc again. those messages are due to the phone thinking that the memory card isn't inserted when it is, so obviously it is a phone problem. another suggestion would be to check that the memory card is inserted correctly and to clean the contacts for the memory card (i.e. gently blow out the dust with a deep breath). if the card is the default one that came with the phone in the box, its most likely the Nokia one. i have the feeling they're manufctured under licence by SanDisk anyway.
yes, firmware updates can bring advantages such as bug fixes, new features and improved battery life. it is generally recommended to keep the phone up to date anyway to ensure its longevity and increased reliability and security. i know its a pain, but you will have to do the hard reset now that you have backed up all your data. let us know how it goes.
if you could, please throw some kudos our way, it would mean a lot to us

Using USB memory card ready boost for RAM???

I recently purchased a 16 gb HP memory card for my laptop, in hope to replace my old 4 gb HP memory card I was using priorly for it's ready boost capability. When checking my computers performance, I noticed one of the places I most commonly lag in is my RAM. So my question is, is there any way I can use any part of the memory I'm gaining from my ready boost in the place of RAM capability?

Hello william_the22nd,
Unfortunately, you will not be able to use the memory card this way. You don't mention which notebook you have, or operating system. Perhaps the troubleshooting steps in this document will help you improve the speed and performance. Please select the link below which corresponds with your OS. Please let me know if this helps.
Good luck!

Eject USB memory card

Hello
is there an option somewhere I could turn on so as NOT to have to click Eject before removing a USB memory device? Im used to PC and I keep removing the memory without first clicking eject and apparently thats very bad...

Most USB memory devices require you to eject them prior to removal on both Macs and PC's to prevent corruption of directories or mangling open files. There is no way to override this. I have several USB memory sticks that I use on both platforms and all complain if I just yank them. If it mounts like a disk, it should be ejected prior to disconnecting.

Treo 750 Memory Card Formatting Problem

The phone detects the new card (2GB) and presents an option to format it. Upon selecting 'Yes', it is unable to format the card.
Post relates to: Treo 750 (Rogers)

Look on the side of the card and see if the lock is set to "on" or "lock".
If the card is not locked it should format in the Treo.
You can also format the SD card in a PC using a card reader using FAT32 format.
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

How to format Memory card in N79 and 5630 Xpressmu...

Hi everyone,
I am using N79 amd 5630 Xpressmusic. Can any body tell me how to format the memory card in these sets. Coz in file manager there is no option to format memory card.
Regards

Hi Sappal,
To format the memory card follow the below procedure:
1. Go to "File Manager-> Memory Card" (I've named the memory card as N79).
2. You will need to open the memory card and then go to its "Options" menu.
3. Go to "Memory Card Options-> Format" and confirm.
Please note that the memory card will not get formatted unless every application is closed and you have not installed any third party applications on it. For this, you will have to uninstall any third party applications and only then proceed with the memory card formatting procedure.
Let me know if you need any assistance. My id is
