Why does phone say there's no SD card when one is clearly installed?

I've been trying to move apps from the phone to the SD card, but when I try to do this, I get a message saying that my phone doesn't have an SD card installed. I opened it up, and sure enough, there's a nice 8GB SD perfectly seated. I took it out and reinstalled it, powercycled the phone and I still get the same message. What gives?

Ann154,
This is completely untrue.  Google has "revamped" the security method with which they allow access to the SD card.  If an app allows being moved to SD, you can still move it to SD.  If an app is capable of using SD for storage, it is still allowed to move data to SD.  The issue is, some apps have not been updated to work correctly with this model.  If something that you have does not work with SD and it used to work with it, contact the app's developer and ask that they update the app to allow use with the new Google SD card protocol.

    why does it say rogers 3g on my ipad when it should say rogers 4g

    You may be in an area where Rogers doesn't yet have 4G. If so, the iPad will drop back to 3G and will display that to let you know you're running on the older network.

  • Why does iTunes say there's an unknown error (-54) when i try to sync my iPhone 5c into my computer?

    Everytime I try to sync my iPhone 5c onto my computer there's always a message that pops up and says there's an unknown error.  I have synced my iPhone to a new computer and have purchased new music on this computer.  I have previous music on my old computer which is still on my phone but i want that music off.  I just want to start over with the new music i got on this computer.  For some reason, the old music from my old computer won't show up on my new computer, but the old music shows up on my iPhone 5c.  I have no idea on how to delete the old songs.  My iPhone doesn't give me the option.  I'm thinking maybe the error has to do something with that. Any suggestions?

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

  • Why does it say there is an error when I attempt to sync it to iTunes?

    The first time I synced it, it worked but now when I try, it says there was either a missing file or an unknown error (-37). What does this mean?

    Hi staceye,
    Where are you creating the PDF file, and what is the error that you're receiving? Is it a file that is saved in your Acrobat.com online account?

  • Why does CC say I can 'Try' an app when I have pre-paid 1 year?

    I am having trouble downloading apps from the Creative Cloud app on my Mac book Pro.
    It says Try where it should say Install.
    Why is this? I don't want to have to DL the app from my browser, it kind of defeats the object of having the CC app.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    I believe if your subscription does not include applications it can list them as Try rather than Install.  If you are not getting access to what you paid for try contacting Adobe Support directly thru chat.

  • Why does vault say iCloud Drive has insufficient space when there is plenty available?

    I have 49.7GB of Aperture photo data that I want to back up to a Vault. I am running Yosemite and recently upgraded my iCloud drive to 200GB with only 13.7GB currently being used. When I set up a Vault using the iCloud drive it says I have insufficient space. Clearly I don't!
    My iCloud account confirms that the space is available. Any suggestions please?

    An Aperture vault cannot be stored in iCloud drive. If you put it on a synced volume it will be corrupted by syncing.  Write your vault to a locally connected disk like described here for Aperture Libraries:
    Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library
    A vault is essentially an Aperture library, so the same holds.   I tested putting Aperture libraries, vaults, and iPhoto Libraries onto iCloud Drive. After the first sync they needed repairing.
    . When I set up a Vault using the iCloud drive it says I have insufficient space. Clearly I don't!
    How much free space is on your Mac?  You can only write files to iCloud Drive that will fit on all devices that are connected to iCloud Drive. iCloud Drive is not like an external disk - it is a shared storage for syncing your Macs. Everything you are writing to iCloud Drive will be mirrored to your Macs. See:  iCloud Drive FAQ

  • Why does it say that the USB is empty when I try to connect my ipod nano to my car?

    I have other devices that will connect to my car without a problem so I know it's not the car... When I plug in my nano it says that it is empty but there are clearly songs on it and I can't find anything for that trouble shooting...

    Does the car's manufacturer/stereo say that your particular model and generation iPod is compatible with it?  That would be the first place to start.

  • Why does iTunes say my iPad is "over capacity" when it isn't?

    Hi. I saw someone posted about there iPhone last night and added my question there, but since I've not had a response I will create a new question.
    I went to sync my iPad yesterday and I got an error saying it was "over capacity." I checked online and saw many discussions about the Other folder (for lack of a better name), so checked the information on how to overcome this. None of the solutions helped so I did a Restore. The iPad set up again and I went to sync, but I get the same error. Not it claims I am 1.8 GB "over capacity." In reality, I am trying to sync about 7 GB of data on an iPad with over 13 GB of free space. I tried updating iTunes (done), checked for an update to the iPad (I have the latest version of the OS), and tried rebooting both the computer and the iPad. I still get the same error.
    How can I get iTunes to sync my data?
    Thanks for any assistance you can offer. Please don't refer me to this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1503
    Those are the things I tried yesterday that didn't work. New ideas?
    Thanks,

    Are you sure it's not iCloud that's "over capacity".

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • Why does Numbers say I need a newer version when I am using the latest version

    I am getting the error message "You need a newer version of Numbers to open this file". However, this is a file I created yesterday with this version of numbers.
    What gives ? If I ck my numbers version it says no updates available.

    Hi Steve,
    This is confusing to a lot of people. When you downloaded the new version of Numbers the old version remained on your Mac. The new version is in Applications. The old version is in a subfolder within Applications. The icons look similar so it's easy to think you're trying to open a document with the new version whereas in fact the old version has been activated and is trying to open it.
    If you tend to open documents from Finder then right-click and Open With ... Numbers.app (3.0).
    Or you can open Numbers 3.0 (the one in the Applications folder, not the iWork '09 subfolder) and open the document from there.
    Any icons you had on the Dock before the upgrade are of course still pointing to the old version.

  • Why does it say my contact's not registered when he is?

    I have my friend in my contacts. I tried adding him on iMessage on my iPad, but it says he's not registered. But I saw him use it on his iPhone. What's happening?

    An iPhone can send SMS messages like any other cell phone or smart phone via the carrier data plan. The iOS messages app only works with other iOS devices and Mac computers running Mountain Lion or Mavericks. So are you sure that your friend wasn't just sending an SMS message? He still has to turn on and activate iMessage in order to use it on his phone.
