Viewing media card with version 6.x

I upgraded to version 6 of DS, and having returned from a month-long trip, actually used this version for the first time. Where oh where is support to view what's on the media card in this version. Not media files but actual data files that may not be recognized as simply "media" files. I tried every option and looked at help. I'm used to the Roxio media manager, which while slow, at least was effective for viewing and managing the contents of folders.

I realize that Media doesn't work with *.wmv.  The video's I have have all been converted by Media to *.asf.  I was just wondering if there was a limit on # of files or size of individual files and total files.

  • Viewing media card files

    When i plug in the USB cable on my Tour, the only files that show up in Windows Explorer are the Music folder. When i use Roxio Media Managaer all the other folders show up too, like the picture folder and so on. Same thing when i remove the media card and use a card reader. How come i cant view the folders while the media card is in the phone using windows explorer????

    My guess is that you don't have mass storage mode enabled. When I enable this feature I get an auto play window and choose open view files. The next window has BlackBerry and System folders I can choose from. Hope this helps!

  • Smart Media Card

    Is there anyway that I can use a Smart Media Card with a PB 1.67?
    Any adaptors out there?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Kevin:
    Is there anyway that I can use a Smart Media Card with a PB 1.67?
    Any adaptors out there?
    When you say "use a Smart Media Card," what do you mean exactly?
    If you mean, for instance, take pictures with your camera, take the Smart Media Card out of it and hoot it up to your PB to download the pix, then sure, there are lots of readers out there. Here's a cheap example that happens to use a USB connection. There are also, I'm pretty sure, readers that hook up to your PB via a PC Card adapter.
    Is this what you had in mind, or were you thinking of something different?

  • Media Card Undetected!

    I accidentally removed the Curve (connected as USB) to the PC. Phone was on and the it can't detect the media card's presence (can't access files 0 music, 0 pics). I tried to reset it (turn off, remove and put card back) and the phone was still having the problem. And recently, I clicked the "repair" on options but to no avail, it didn't work...
    Worse, I took a couple of pictures and CAN'T FIND THOSE on the pictures folder... Blank, there's nothing. Even the album cover for the free song on the phone is gone.
    This is the sole problem. The files can be seen from the PC, but not from the phone.
    Kindly do help if this can be resolved.... Thanks

    Hi kekcoke and welcome to the forums.
    There are a couple of things you can try:
    1) Remove the media card and try it with any other devices that you have that support the card. If that works, take a backup and format the card.
    2) If your computer or laptop supports the media card (with an SD adapter, of course) see if you can get a backup there and format the card.
    3) Insert another media card in its place and see if that works (this will eliminate the possibility of a hardware fault on your medica card reader on the Blackberry)

  • Trouble wih viewing file on media card/downloaded with Opera Mini 5

    Hello all,
    I downloaded Opera Mini 5 beta recently and was downloading a .pdf file. It allowed me to choose a specific folder to where I can download the file to (which is really neat). So I chose to download it to my media card. I tried opening it from the download manager of Opera Mini, but there's no such option. So I went on to "explore" it through "Media" and I found it. When I tried to open the file, it tells me that it is "Unable to display file (file name)". Am I doing anything wrong or what's going on? Opera Mini problem or my problem? The file works perfectly fine though because I tried emailing the file to myself and opening it on my blackberry, and it works.
    Anyone knows what's going on?
    Thanks in advance!

    Natively, PDFs are only viewable for the time that they remain an attachment to an email; the email Attachment Service renders them. Once detached (or otherwise not an email attachment), you need an add-on app to view the file. There are several out there...search the alternatives and choose the one that best meets your needs.
    Cheers!

  • Problem with storing pictures to the Media Card

    I set my 8330 to store pictures to the media card.  It works for a while and then the device reverts to storing it on the device memory.  It does this without asking or telling me that it's done so.  It's very frustrating.  Anybody have any idea why it would do this?

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    That's a very odd situation. Can you tell us, when this happens, does your BB "see" the media card at all? For instance, if when you notice this, can you do Media > Explore and get to the media card still?
    Another thing to check is your device OS version -- perhaps there is an update from your carrier that has fixes that would be useful...you can check your carrier via this portal:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/dow​nload_sites.jsp
    If your device OS is current, then you might want to try a different media card...perhaps there is something amiss with the one you have. 
    Also, how to do you go about recovering and getting it to again store on the media card?
    Thanks!

  • Uninstalling Watsapp seems to have corrupted my pics! Cant view pics on media Card...

    OK, so watsapp went mental, despite doing several battery pulls it remained crazy. So, of course, the next step would be to delete and reinstall. So I deleted the app. I now find that I cannot open all the pictures on my media card :/ It takes ages to index and though the pics are definately there (file manager showing % of memory card free) I cant get to them. I cant pick up from the PC either - blackberry link isnt picking up anything on my card OR device...(however it HAS taken off 16 random pics and put into a folder in my documents; which incidentally, I cant seem to restore to my z10).
    Now I know what you're thinking; memory card has somehow been corrupted right? Well...No because I can view ALL my videos, music and 352 pictures (about 510 are inaccessible). I know it cant be the card as the pictures i can see are a complete mix match of dates from 2009 to present but all randomly mixed up :/
    I have re-installed watsapp and all convos have backed up...
    I have the latest softwarre so its not that. I can access everything on the card from PC but cant get them over into the link :/ WHY did BB have to make it like it has? (If it aint broke dont fix it!) The software was ace, you could just drag and drop. There is no 'restore' option or anything on my BB link.
    I am going to do the obvious - battery pull again. If no joy then rebook with no sim. Still no joy Reboot with no media card. I dont know what else to do.
    If I format the card will I lose all the pictures on it? I cant backup to the link either - there is no option :/
    Can anyone help me? PLEASE

    Hey MissKitten,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    Just to clarify, you are not able to view the contents of the media card on your PC as well? (Not through BlackBerry Desktop Software but through My Computer).
    I would suggest formatting the SD card, however formatting the SD card will erase all data.  So I would attempt to back it up if possible.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • 9800 Freezes with Media Card

    Hello, my 9800 has started freezing up when my 16gb media card is inserted. It's almost all music, about 15gb worth.  I have re-formatted the card and re-installed the music, same result.  Any ideas? It was working fine. My songs are all mp3 or m4a. I can't associate it with adding any particular file either. Appreicate any help. .9800 wtih version 6.0, bundle 695. AT&T carrier.

    A media card full of songs and pictures will take a long time to generate the thumbnails and song playlist, possibly making it slow up first use.
    mine took a few hours to sync all the files up again

  • Desktop 6 software won't work with media card, but phone works with card just fine.

    Pearl 8110
    media card transcend 8G HC
    using latest software update for desktop and phone.
    Vista business
    Since upgrading to desktop 6 several months ago I can't upload media to my phone.  Windows does not recognize the media card as another drive.
    I can take pictures, record video and voice using the phone, and send that via bluetooth to my vista computer, but not by usb.
    However when trying to transfer media to my phone via usb I get an error message says I need to turn on mass storage mode (yes it's always on) but the error message just keeps repeating when I try to transfer anything to the media card via usb.  Can't transfer via bluetooth windows says I need some type of software that I can't find.
    I uninstalled version 6 and reloaded the last working version 5 and the roxio media manager and that didn't work either.
    I see this as being a blackberry software problem, uless someone has another idea.  I've posed in other forums with no help comming.
    What do I do?

    Hi midnightvisions,
    Have you tried reinserting the media card and battery?
    Can you please clarify something? Are you currently able or unable to transfer these files via Bluetooth? 
    If you are able to, you may want to transfer these files to your PC via Bluetooth and format the media card and test again. http://bit.ly/f8fCQ8 If this does not resolve the issue or you are unable to transfer them via Bluetooth, try doing a clean uninstall of the BlackBerry Desktop Software then reinstall and test again. http://bit.ly/bvuRJU

  • Somebody please help me- Media card storage NOT SYNCING WITH APPS

    I really need help with this problem, im very frustrated, i called Blackberry Tech Support who sent me to Rogers, I called Rogers who sent me back to Blackberry, I then go transferred back to Rogers where i was told i had to pay an expert for my question and problem so i hung up the phone.
    This all started when i downloaded the software update (10.1) on june 15th, my phone will not recognize the media card as it's default storage and my music and photos will not sync with the apps on my phone (camera, music for example).I've deleted everything and set my phone to factory settings and it's still screwed up. I read on some forums about android apps messing with folders in the device storage and when the phone see's "android" everything gets saved there. I do see the folder on my phone still and it won't let me delete it. iT says permission denied need permission from Unix. whatever the hell that means.
    When i click on Music for example, it will say "indexing your media card, files will appear shortly" anddddd it neverrrrr comes. Ive swapped media cards and its the same problem. I can only access my media card through the app "files" and then you can switch to media card in that app, unfortunately its not organized to find things in an easy matter. i have hundreds of photos with no thumbnail pictures, i have thousands of songs but can only see a list of 10, it really sucks, i want my phone back LOL
    Is there anyone out there that can help me please, I know i'm not the only one with this problem, there are multiple people posting similar problems on other forums and getting no answers. SUCKS

    If I were in your situation, I'd put the SD card in a Card Reader (or SD Card Adapter) and open it up on the computer and COPY the files into a folder on the computer so at least everything is backed-up. Then full format the card on the computer prior to formatting it again on the device. With the newly formatted card in the device I'd enter some similar media (of similar types as to what is not being recognised) via the conventional route onto the phone. Once the appropriate folders have been created and your 'test media' are appearing normally on your device, I'd place the card back in the computer, open up your saved memory card copy as well as the actual SD in separate windows and try dragging and dropping the files (or one or two test files) into their appropriate folders - (the ones your new OS has deemed correct). You absolutely don't want to loose your stuff so back everything up. As I see it, you have a file structure created by a different operating system and you can only work with the new one which you now have. The Android folder is meant to be there, which is why you shouldn't try deleting it.
    On your computer you should at least see thumbnails so it has to be easier to see what you are working with.
    Good luck (and patience)!
    Edit: Sorry, I should have said that I think you have items put in folders created by your previous software version and that your current one doesn't know how to deal with them.

  • Blackberry Q5 Media Card Encrypted. Cannot View files after doing Wipe

    I have Blackberry Q5 media card that was encrypted. When it was full a removed that and changed with the new SD card. Later, I wiped my blackberry device.
    Now I wanted to view the files stored on my old media card that was encrypted on same blackberry device but I am unable to do so. I am using the same device with same device lock password.
    Please advice. Thanks in Advance.

    If i do device switch then i understand. But when I wipe only my contacts and applications and "not the media card", i  don't remember that it warned me that i will not be able to use my media card again. I am using the same device, same device password and the same media card then why the blackberry will not allow me to view my files. What is the logic here?
    The other person cannot have my device, my media card and my password all with him to breach my privacy isn't it?

  • I need help with my Blackberry Torch 9800 media card....

    I've had my Blackberry Torch 9800 for almost a year now and I haven't faced a problem like this one before, One day, Out of nowhere, My blackberry started acting up, the lock button wouldn't work, the touch screen and keypad wouldn't work, I wasn't able to access anything. Then the batteries drained out all of a sudden, so I went home and charged it and I thought that there was something wrong with the battery, but then when it turned on again, it had erased all my media! All my photos, videos and music, and every time I finish charging my phone a prompt would pop up and say that my media card isn't formatted! So I wanted to know if there's anyway to fix this?! The bigger problem is that the rest of my data was on my laptop and it's hard disk crashed.....So now I have nowhere to go to to retrieve my files Is there any solution to this? It's really doing my head in! Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    While rare, spontaneous wiping and rebooting do happen on BBs. You, sadly, are the very unlucky one to also have your backups on your laptop wiped out by it's failure. Very bad luck indeed...hopefully you were backing up your laptop somewhere.
    As with all restores, there must be a source...your BB will never be that source as it has no "deleted items" nor "recycle bin" from which to do so. Rather, an external backup source is required. Given your laptop situation, the only other source I can think of is if you had activated the FREE (with a proper BIS plan) BB Protect, and had been backing up your data "to the cloud"...if so, then that will be an available source for restore.
    Sadly, if you have no source from which to restore, then that's the end of that hope...
    In any event -- first, we need to make sure that you BB is actually OK...and that will require some work on your part. Here's what I recommend...
    At the top of each device forum, there should be some "sticky" threads that discuss the OS levels available for many models. If they include your model, then please use those as reference as you proceed. Otherwise, you will have to dig through the official download portal for OS packages for your model:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/downloa​d_sites.jsp
    From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-​Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste​...
    Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
    You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
    You may also want to try this procedure to perhaps narrow down the precise causal item:
    Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
    If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
    If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
    Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
    If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
    Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
    When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
    If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
    If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
    If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

  • 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.

  • Macbook pro fails to read sd card with movies recorded on it, any ideas? I can view them in the video camera so know they are there somewhere. I am now thinking I should have formatted or initialised the new card before using it.

    My macbook pro is failing to read a new sd card with movies recorded on it. Any ideas please? A previously used SD card has downloaded without problems. I have tried using a card reader as well as downloading from the video camera itself, neither works.
    I can view the latest recordings on the video camera so know they are there somewhere. I am now thinking I should have formatted or initialised the new card before using it but didn't think of that at the time. Obviously don't want to do this now as it will wipe the movies.
