SD Card locked

I can not take a new photo nor video...If I try and delete any old picture, it tells me my SD card is locked.  Is there a way to clear the SD card without losing everything?  This is so baffling...my old cheap flip phone took lots of pic's without all this drama.
HELP

Sounds like you may have activated or installed a app that has locked the card...  This thread has a solution listed to resolve this, check it out at http://androidforums.com/motorola-devour/202929-sd-card-locked.html.

  • If you enter your password on the ipad too many times and your sim card locks, is there a way of recovery without replacing the sim card?

    That doesn't lock the SIM card, it just locks you out of the device. 
    If you forgot (or don't know) your passcode, restore the device from backup on the last computer it was synced with when the passcode was turned on... this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.

  • Memory card lock

    Have a brand new elph 520 HS.  First time trying to operate receive "Memory Card Locked".  Purchased a brand new memory card.  Same error.  Can't format, the "format" option remains in the background and is not selectable

    Are these cards from other devices like a cell phone etc? The idea that you're using an adapter introduces more ways to run into problems.

  • E71 miniSD card lock function

    Hi all,
    Quick question, if I enable the miniSD card lock function in my phoone, then wehen I remove the card I know that it is locked (because I cannot read it from a card reader) and only after putting back in my phone will it read the card. However, is there a way to unlock the card or turn this off?
    This is because I remove the card and use a card reader to put movies, songs, files, etc on my card and then put back into my phone to use but I am unable to unlock the card after I remove it from my phone and I am unable to deactivate this lock within my phone? Is this possible or do I just dont know how to deactive this lock from my phone?
    Much thanks

    Just go the Memory Card application and remove the password; when you have finished using the card on your computer, just use the Memory Card applicationto apply a password...

  • Memory card locked, can't take pictures ... help!

    Camera says "Memory card locked", my grand baby is coming over this afternoon ! What to do...

    Good to hear it is working now! This depends on your camera's model number and the type of memory card you are using. As previously posted by USER-944926 and KimberlyS, memory card have a switch you can slide to protect the images and prevent accidental erasure. You can refer to the image below to locate the lock swtich of a Memory Stick / Memory Stick Pro (left) and an SD memory card (right):

    use a computer (card reader) to save your data from the memory card, and then format it with a computer. put it back to your phone and you can use it again.

  • SD card locks up computer

    I discovered my SD drive and purchased a 2GB sandisk.  It worked fine until I tried to read the disk in a newer computer which could not see the data on the card.
    I looked at the card in the Toshiba and the data was there.  Sandisk said to format in fat32 mode.  I did and the card worked in the new computer.
    Placed the 2GB card in the Toshiba and it promptly locked up the computer.  Rebooted and did a system restore.
    Placed a 512 MB card in the Toshiba and it brings up the data and locks up the computer.
    What is causing the computer to lockup when it has a memory card installed?

    Are you using an adapter?. If you are,  try another adapter. If not, reinstall the driver. Uninstall it under disc drives in device manager then scan for hardware changes or restart the computer.

  • SIM card locks when I connect to my computer

    Hi,
    For some reason, my iphone's SIM card regularly locks when I connect to my MacBook Pro.
    This means...without me always having time to see it, that my phone is basically out of use when I think it is charging or synching. Quite annoying, is there anything I should do about this?
    I called my telephone carrier and they said they'd never heard of this problem that

    Two things you can check that may be causing this: 1. Settings>Phone>Sim Pin do you have a sim pin enabled? 2. Some carriers require a PUK lock on all their sims, in the US you can get instructions on how to unlock the sim by using the PUK code online in your account info. I'm guessing that your sim either has a sim pin enabled or a PUK lock. If the latter, your carrier will need to supply the PUK code. Or, get a new sim.

  • About card lock

    Hi,
    Somewhere in this forum I have found that if you failed to authenticate 10 times your cards gets locked. So my confusion is if I am doing INIT UPDATE (successfully) and than not ext auth for 10 times does it mean it failed in authentication.
    And this number (10) if for life cycle of card of for 10 consecutive faillure will lock the card.

    This is true for JCOP cards."if I am doing INIT UPDATE (successfully) and than not ext auth for 10 times does it mean it failed in authentication"
    I want to ask that if I do INIT UPDATE (though successfully) but not ext-auth does it add it in its counter of failure attempt.

  • IPad sim card locked and I can't unlock my own device after I had to restore it to factory settings, due to technical issues.

    I recently restored my iPad to its factory settings, and upon restart the iPad sim card was locked and the device was asking for a PUK code. I have no idea what to do next. Can someone please help me? I've had my iPad for over 3 years now, and I am lost! I am sure I can figure this out without having to call any service provider, because the iPad should work on just wifi alone, I never had it set up for 3G even though it is an available option on my device.
    Thank you to anyone who can help!

    All you can do is connect the iPod to a computer and try to get the music off using a third-party program like the free iFunBox. However, if the iPod's screen says disable or when you connect the iPod to a computer with iTunes it asks for the passcode to be entered on the iPod and you can't do that you will not be able to get anything off the iPod unless a data recovery company can do that.

    Hi Alfredo,
    Just an update about PCMCIA-FBUS Series 2 card:
    The PCMCIA-FBUS Series 2 card was released on May of 2004, and the new Series 2 cards have already replaced the old Series 1 cards in all the related shipping kits. So you should get the Series 2 card if you buy PCMCIA-FBUS products after May, 2004.
    The Series 2 cards have been tested with many laptops as well as different Cardbus Controllers including O2Micro controllers, and now the PCMCIA-FBUS Series 2 card can work properly with the laptops having O2Micro Cardbus Controller. So don't worry about it.
    In addition, NI also offers a trade-in option to allow you to upgrade your old Series 1 cards to Series 2 cards in a good discount. For more information, please refer to the link below:
