Unlocking SD card slot

How do you know if your SD card slot is locked? I'm inserting my Memory Stick PRO DUO from SanDisk with the metal part facing down and pointing to my MAC, as the Help information says and nothing happens. I dont know if that´s the problem but it my guess.

A Memory Stick Pro DUO is not an SD storage device. It wont work in an SD reader.

    Depends
    If you need a cellphone then No.
    If he wants more than $1 then No.
    I would suggest that you buy an iPod Touch from Apple.

  • I bought unlocked iphone 6 in one store in UAE dubai. When i open the sim card slot there is an verizon simcard inside. I'm just a little bit worried if i phone i have now is a second hand or what. Any idea? Thanks.

    It's A1549 model. Yeah i knew this is US version before i buy this. What i'm confusing now do u think this iphone i bought is a brand new one and why there is a sim card already inside the simcard slot? Even its working smoothly using a network in UAE. Some of my friends bought there US version of iphone but they bought it without simcard inside the sim card slot.

  • I bought an iphone sprint carrier on ebay but i want to know if the phone is going to work for an international carrier movistar which is gsm due to the phone does have a sim card slot , what do i need to do ?

    help me how can i get my phone to work in movistar which is my carrier in ecuador gsm . sprint iphones does have sim card slot but i'm not sure if it will work for gsm what do i need to do , how do i unlock it

    IF the phone was unlocked by Sprint for international use, it will work on any compatible (non U.S.) GSM carrier.
    If it was NOT unlocked before you acquired it, you will need to move to the US and establish service with Sprint, then wait the minimum amount of time specified by their policy before they will agree to unlock it for you.
    If you are not a Sprint customer, you bought the wrong phone.

  • My iPhone 4s does not have a sim card slot at all .

    Verizon will only unlock your phone for international use.
    Just to avoid any possible confusion, a Verizon-model iPhone 4 is a CDMA-only iPhone and can't be unlocked at all. The only way to use that model with another carrier is if Verizon has international CDMA carrier partners for international roaming, available only a very few countries.
    Only the Verizon-model iPhone 4S or later is or can be unlocked for true international use.

  • SD card not mounting in card slot, mounts only with USB card reader

    hi all,
    I have browsed this forum "Ports and interfaces on the MacBook Pro (2008 and Later)" for a bit and searched for "SD" but did not find any posts directly related to my issue here.
    I have a Kingston 512Mb card which mounts in my MacBook Pro only when I insert it in a cardreader inserted in the USB port.
    Directly in the memory card slot it does not mount. Other SD cards do mount. I did not yet recognise a pattern in what mounts and does not mount.
    I need to mount this specific SD card in the memory slot because bigger, newer SD cards are not accepted by the device I am using the card in (an iRex iLiad).
    The Kingston 512Mb SD card is formatted as MS-DOS (FAT16) according to Disk Utility.
    Any suggestions on what I could try? Buying other 512Mb cards is not that easy, there is not a lot available and only the ones on this list http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/IliadSD_Memorycardslist are supported by the device.
    TIA!

    Within a year or two, a device that is limited to 512MB and smaller cards — and only certain ones of those — will probably be completely useless. As you've found, no one else is interested in buying such tiny cards any more, and their production is likely to be discontinued very soon.
    This does nothing to explain why your card can't be read in the built-in reader, though. One thing to check is the position of the "lock" slider on the card; a small handful of other posters with similar problems have reported that if the slider isn't securely locked or unlocked (I don't recall which), it gets disturbed as the card is inserted, and the card can't be read as a result.
    If that doesn't solve the problem for you, just use your USB reader when you have to read that particular card. As you say, your other (presumably larger) cards are all read properly in the built-in reader, so you know the reader works. There may just be a minute manufacturing-tolerance problem with that particular card.

  • Card slot does not work after update (14/10/2011)

    Card slot does not work after yesterday update (14/10/2011)! It works with my SD card month ago, but now it dosn't!!!
    MacBook Pro 13 OS ver. 10.6.8

    Thanks for your suggestion. I downloaded OnyX and ran the cleaning function. After restarting, I opened Help and once again the first screen appeared fine. But again most of the links did not work, though those under the "What's New" heading did work. I might add that I had previously tried a variety of suggestions posted in another thread, which included deleting from the caches folder in Home>Library several files such as com.apple.helpui and help.plist in the Preferences folder. (As noted in my previous post this evening, I also created another user but that also did not have any effect.) Any other ideas? Thanks

  • Hi, I have a Lenovo 3000 n100 that does not recognize the dvd player or SD memory card slot

    Hi, this is my first time on here so forgive me if I don't give all of the right information, I will try.  Until about a month ago my dvd player and SD memory card slot worked fine.  I was attempting to download pictures from the SD memory card to my laptop when for some reason it not only stopped reading the memory card but it erased it also.  I tried to watch a movie on it to see if it was working and it is not.  I checked the computer to see if I could manually turn it on and neither the memory card slot or the dvd player show up at all.  Is this a driver problem and if so how do I fix it.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks, Linda

    I have struggled with the same thing, until about 1/2 hour ago....And its real simple.  I'm not a techy but here's what worked for me. 
    Since Lenovo doesn't send boot discs you are going to have to create one.  I went to http://www.ntfs.com/boot-disk.htm and downloaded the trial version - good for 10 days.  If this works for you then you should buy the software (that goes w/o saying).
    Once loaded to your machine you will need to create a DVD (CD may work as well, all I had was DVD's handy).  Just lauch the application and it will do this for you. 
    Then you need to insert the DVD/CD into your player and restart the machine.  
    Once lauched the Software will lauch the Active@ Boot Disk menu.  One of the options (going from memory here) was to give you a windows prompt.  I simply typed c: and took me to the C drive.  Then I typed chkdsk /f c:
    I was then told my c drive was locked (sounds familiar I bet) but this time I was given the option to dismount the volume which I did.  And it finally ran chkdsk, found and corrected all errors.  
    I rebooted my machine, launched diskeeper,  and guess what - I can finally defrag my harddrive now which is sorely overdue!
    Good luck.  I hope this works for you! 

  • Memory speed and graphic card slot

    Hi,
    I have just built a system with a P67A-GD65 B3 board, everything works fine, but while double-checking on the system's specs and performances I came across two weird issues:
    - I have 2 x G-Skill F3-17000CL7-2GBXHD RAM sticks at 2133MHz, I have enabled XMP in the BIOS (with leaving all other settings in automatic mode) and the BIOS indicates the RAM is running at 2133MHz, 7-10-7-27, however, when I run the MSI Control Center (latest version of the app) it says on the home screen of this app that my RAM is detected as "DDR3-1600 (800MHz)" in the speed field. I also ran CPU-Z and it says there that my DRAM frequency is 1064.4 MHz (the FSB:DRAM value is "1:8"), with the 7-10-7-27 timings values. Which one should I believe? The WEI gives a score of 7.9 for my memory which is ok, and I am not running in any performance issue nor I am looking to do any overclocking, but I just want to make sure that I am making the best out of my money and that I am using the RAM as it is supposed to be used... Can someone shed some light here?
    - I have installed my graphic car on the slot that is the furthest possible from the CPU as I believe they both generate quite some heat and so they should be as far away as possible from eachother. In CPU-Z I have a link width for the graphic interface of "x8" with max supported of "x16". Is this something that is related to the slot and should I move the card to the slot closer to the CPU? Or is this something else? Is there a setting in the BIOS maybe that can address this?
    Thanks!

    Both are correct information. The detected '1600MHz' is actually the factory stock speed from the IC chip of the RAMs. The readings of "1064.4MHz" is the running speed that the RAM is currently on so for DDR calculation, you have to multiple 1064.4MHz by 2 to get 2133MHz.
    The reasons for 2 readings to be detected is due to your RAM being factory overclocked by manufacturer before it went on the retail shelves, which is very common. Most or any RAMs that you see with speed above 1600MHz are generally overclocked by manufacturer using 1600MHz RAMs for speed boost.
    The graphics card slot will still runs at x16 with your card.

  • Problem with memory card slot on nokia c5 03

    Sir,
    I have a Nokia C5 03 from the last 8 months.....
    Working very well.
    Recently, my memory card stopped working.
    I thought that there might be a problem in the memory card and bought a new one.
    Even though i inserted new card in my phone, i am getting the same error.
    In file manager it is displaying as "Memory card Corrupted."
    I have checked the new memory card by inserting in to another phone which was working normally.
    There i have even formatted the new memory card and again inserted into my c5. 
    Then also i am getting the same error message........
    Can any one suggest me what to do in this regard??????
    Thanks in ADVANCE.
    Solved!

    Hi,
    Welcome to the forum!
    Have you also tried inserting the old memory card to another phone as well? What happened after inserting it to another phone? If it's working properly with another phone, the memory card slot of the C5-03 might have an issue so you should bring it to the repair facility to have it checked. 
    You can search for the nearest repair facility in your area from this link: http://www.nokia.com/in-en/care-point-finder/
    Hope this helps.

  • I have a iPhone 4 which was on Verizon. I now want to start using it on Walmart Family Mobile. I know I have to get it jail broke but people are telling me that I can't use it as it has no sim card slot. Is there a way of getting around this problem?

    How can I use a iPhone 4 without the sim card slot on Walmart family mobile?

    The Verizon iPhone 4 is a CDMA only phone. It is not physically possible to use it on a GSM network. It doesn't have the right parts. Also, we can't discuss jailbreaking here.
    Best of luck.

  • What is use of sim card slot in hp pavilion dv4

    i want to know how to use sim card slot in my HP Pavilion dv4 laptop

    Hi,
    It's a SIM card slot and it's for a SIM card. But to be able to fully utilize/utilise it you also need a WWAN card. What is the model of your machine ? dv4 is a series of many model, most of them do not have WWAN cards built-in.

    You can try out this process and see if it helps:
     Troubleshooting Audio Problems with External Speakers, Headphones, and HDMI Sound Devices
    I assume that you probably already have seen this, but for your convenience, here is the support page for your notebook: HP 15-r029wm Notebook PC Drivers
    The newest audio driver I could find there for your notebook has these parameters:
    Released: 2014-02-21
    Version 6.0.1.7156
    Realtek High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver
    The version number matches the one you gave but the date is different.
    You can always try the Realtek site, for their drivers, however, they are not going to be customized to match the components in your notebook, but you could try and then go back if it does not help.

  • I have a MacBook Pro 13inch 2.4GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb RAM, 250Gb HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, SD card slot, up to 10 hour battery life)bought in October 2010 in the UK. The charger has stopped working. Which model and voltage do I need please?

    I have a MacBook Pro 13inch 2.4GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb RAM, 250Gb HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, SD card slot, up to 10 hour battery life) bought in October 2010. The charger has been playing up for a while now - the light going out but coming back on when I move the cable a bit - faulty connection it seems. It has now stopped working at all.
    Apple UK charge a whopping £65 for a replacement - and the reviews are AWFUL for it!
    I need to know which one I need - 45w, 60w and 80w are listed - can someone tell me please? If I'm going to pay this price I want to make sure I get the right one!
    Also, is a genuine Apple one available on Amazon UK, does anyone know please?
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Meanwhile my battery is going down.....

    Thanks for that wjosten. Much appreciated.
    I've read here on Apple's site that the 85W version will work, as you say, and that it would run cooler with a 13" Macbook - I have a 13" MBP of course but assume this would be the same with mine. I wonder if running cooler is a good thing (it sounds as if it is) and it would be better for me to get the 85W version than the 60W one?
    Then I have to decide whether to pay the (extortionate as it seems to me, though I may be wrong) £65 from Apple (bearing in mind the rotten reviews here of the Apple product), or risk a cheaper alternative from Amazon UK, at around £20 (also with various rotten reviews)... Any suggestions? Please? :-)
