Storage Device and Media Card things

Hi there.
The bottomline of the problem I faced is my computer only detecting media card but not the Storage Device when I plugged in the device to the CPU using the USB cable. What am I supposed to do?? My media card was busted, and I have some files in Device's storage which I want to move it to the computer.
Solved!

Thinking back, I think if you install Desktop Manager it may actually let you sync those files separately from the backup file. Its been a long time since I stored anything on the device memory.
Install Desktop Manager from www.BlackBerry.com/desktop and try to do a media sync from the device to your computer.

Mass Storage Mode Support - ON
Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected - YES
SAVE
I have application free pace 8.1 MB
and the error message:
"Device Memory and Media Card are not available because the Mass Storage is currently in use."
The card is there and is seen by my BB Storm. Media > Explore
I have removed and reinstalled the card.
On the desktop I have tried Explore as well as Disk Management and nothing shows up for the Media Card although the Blackberry itself is present.
Please help.

That's a peculiar one to get in the context of a QuickTime uninstall.
Which particular version of QuickTime for Windows are you currently running? (7.7.5, 7.7.4, something earlier?)

Time Capsule as a storage device AND as well as backup

Bonjour,
Wondering how to use - in optimal way - Time Capsule (TC) as a storage device AND as well as backup.
Inside the TC backup disk I created a new directory at side of my may backup directory to load manually some data. Is that a good way to do it? Because I'd been suggested to create a DISK IMAGE to reserve space for the storage device!
Thanks,
Gil

I created a new directory at side of my may backup directory to load manually some data. Is that a good way to do it?
That is one way to do it as long as you have plenty of free space on the drive
The disk image method is the only way that you can "reserve" a given amount of space on the drive for a specific purpose. As such, it acts somewhat like a "partition" on a normal drive.
If you anticipate that space is going to get tight in the near future on the drive, the disk image would be advised.

Access Denied in Data Protector 8 display when trying to view Devices and Media in the UI

I installed Data Protector 8 User Interface from the program disk on some Windows Office 7 Lap Tops for my staff. When they try to view Devices and Media, they get Access Denied.
I see other consumers post this issue and it is a bug in Data Protector 8.
Is there a fix for this issue?

except that if it could publish to both swf/html5 today my project would run on desktop. Again the swf would help for running the desktop version of the project and mobile devices of course would pick html5.
one - what seems to you does not need to seem to me hence ur own assumption
two - I'm asking for advice and help, if you can please do if you can't no need to get personal
Thank you

Problem with OS 10.2.0.424 and Media Card Encryption

Several weeks ago I upgraded to OS 10.2.0.424. Everything went fine, no problems. My phone worked perfectly.
Then over one week later I turned my phone on in the morning and after it had booted it said "your media card was encrypted on a different device. You will need to reformat your media card on this device before you can use it".
Now, the following should be noted very carefully: THE MEDIA CARD WAS BOUGHT SPECIFICALLY FOR MY Z10, IT WAS FORMATTED IN THE SAME HANDSET, ENCRYPTED IN THE SAME HANDSET AND HAS ***NEVER*** BEEN OUT OF THE HANDSET.
As far as I am concerned, this is a fault with the upgrade. Having looked on Crackberry.com I see many other users having a similar problem. I am fortunate in that I do weekly backups of my handset including the media card. However I am reluctant to use my media card again in case this problem recurs.
I tried contacting Blackberry help on Twitter however I can only assume that the Blackberry Twitter team are sub-contractors who don't work for BT as their advice was along the lines of "have you tried rebooting? You have? Oh well, you'll need to speak to your mobile provider as there's nothing we can do."
Please, Blackberry, can you acknowledge this fault and advise what your timescale is for resolution?
A dissatisfied loyal Blackberry customer.

If the user removes the media card from the BlackBerry device and places it in a new BlackBerry device, the new BlackBerry device cannot decrypt any files that the first BlackBerry device encrypted on the media card using a randomly generated device key. If the first BlackBerry device encrypted the files on the media card using the BlackBerry device password, when the user removes the media card from the BlackBerry device and places it in a new BlackBerry device, the new BlackBerry device prompts the user for the password used on the first BlackBerry device to access the files on the new device.
The above is from BlackBerry:
I can only assume that Upgrading is like changing Devices, so before Upgrading save all data.
Someone else with more knowledge about encryption and seeing this post may respond.

Mass storage device and portable device ERROR code 31 41 HP PAVILION s5123w Desktop PC

I am using windows vista home premium 32 bit First time I pluged nikon camera into computer. Says installing device driver software but it does not install.

The device driver loads and installs on my daughters Laptop so ther is some thing wrong with my PC Every time I reboot computer windows need to intall driver software for your Microsoft WPD file system volume driver. Loacate and install driver software recomended says installing driver says successfully installed.

thanks Scott

Hey poochokid,
I'm sorry you're running into this issue. For the camera, if it's newer (made in the last 3 or 4 years) you may need to go to the Nikon website and find the camera software that is made for Vista. I could try to help you find that, if you could give me the model of camera you have.
For the Microsoft WPD file system volume driver issue take a look at this thread from another forum.
I hope this information helps! Let me know what the results are

Bridge Files app and media card encryption..

Just wanted to note clearly, in hopes that someone from RIM will see, that opening files over the Bridge Files app is almost useless if your BES admins force media card encryption on, like mine do. All files saved on the MicroSD card are encrypted and have a .rem extension appended to the filename. When this happens, the Bridge Files app is too dumb to see the file and decrypt it.
It is clear to me that this could be fixed in a software update and I hope it will be. It dramatically limits the usefulness of the bridge. I can't open any file saved with the bridge browser, or anything that comes as an email attachment. Most annoying..
Can anyone comment on whether RIM has made a statement anywhere on whether this will be fixed or not?
Thanks!!

Ipod used as storage device and CS3

I have a few students who want to use their Ipods to store their projects onto to work on other computers around the school. I know the Ipod works as a sort of external hard drive but will it work with CS3 PP?
Also, I have been trying to explain to a few of my students the concept of saving their work in CS3. Many fall under the impression that "save project" will simply give them the files they need, when instead it's just the shell of their project. Is there a way to actually quickly save ALL of your used files to another location or is a simple case of copy and paste?
I'd like for them to be able to use any external on any computer and not have Adobe missing files they have to relocate each time they connect the external drive.
Thanks a lot!

Maybe I misunderstood your question, but if you are looking to save or transfer a project in CS3 to another computer you want to consider two things: File management, and Platform. For file management, instruct your students to reset the scratch disks to a project folder that contains all of their project files each time they start a new project. This way all the files that they use in their projects and want to transfer to another system are in one folder. From there it is a simple matter of cutting and pasting the project folder to where ever they like.
Depending on the size of the iPod, they can use it as a storage device, they just need to think about the Platforms (Mac, PC, Linux) they are using. You cannot interchange CS3 project files from a Mac onto a PC. The same might be for the iPod. If it is formatted for a PC and their project is on a Mac (or vise versa) the iPod might not let you transfer the files. Or they may transfer, but will not be usable on their final editing system (platform). I have not tested that so I might not have it right there. But in theory...
Hope that helps.

Statellite M100 won't recognise any USB storage devices or SD card

I've been having problems with my Toshiba M100 Satellite series notebook not reading Sandisk SD card from my son's camera - it's a 2GB card and from what i've read online maybe that's the problem BUT the notebook is also not reading any of my USB 'stick' devices. When i insert the SD card or a USB 'stick' it asks me to instal driver software which is just stupid. I've tried connecting the camera via a usb cable too and it won't recognise the device and, again, asks for device driver software.
I've looked on the toshiba website and have installed all updates that i thought might be appropriate, i'm also in the process of running Windows update (do this at least every 2nd week anyway so it shouldn't be a problem). I'm running Vista Home Edition (32bit). The USB ports have definately worked in the past, I really don't want to resort to running recovery discs if i don't have too as i don't want to lose all the stuff i have stored.
The SD Card/USB issue seems to be a common one but i can't find a specific fix on this or any other tech site, any suggestions?
Cheers

In your case I would do two things.
First: Check if a new BIOS is available. Look on the Toshiba website and make an update.
Second: Reinstall the laptop with the recovery disks. I know that you will lose all data, but you can save it on DVDs or external HDD.

USB and Media Card Reader disabled after installing DM

I installed the DM 4.3 from the CD tonight. Hooked up the BB and everything worked fine. Loaded some music onto the media card and downloaded some pictures. Then I unhooked to see if the music was on the Blackberry, when I hooed it back up, it wouldn't recognize. I tried a few times, then uninstalled the software, re-installed, still nothing, then un-installed and downloaded 4.7 and installed, still nothing, now my computer doesn't recognize ANY USB ports (web-cam, Media Center Remote) and none of the Media Card reader drives are visible in My Computer. When I insert the SD card from my camera, nothing. I uninstalled 4.7 and still nothing. Now I'm worried..
Please tell me that I don't have to wipe the whole computer and start again.. Please!!
