I havent been able to get the Format option to show under Settings > SD Card & Phone Storage but you can remove the card from the phone and place in PC and format FAT32 and see if the device reads it once placed back in phone.

  • Won't read my memory card

    Hello! My macbook pro won't read my memory card (transcend) anymore. It used to work fine but I don't know why just recently it won't. I've tried the little lock and unlock option on the card but still nothing.
    Help?

  • Won't read the SD Card after going in for repairs

    HELP - my 8520 curve won't read it's SD card? i know it's definately not the card as my wife just got a new BB also and it came with a brand new card that can't be read either. Thought i could live with it............ but can't. You can't have any music, video content etc............  My first blackberry died in a pint of guiness (don't ask), i took the sd card out before the insurance claim and had my fingers crossed that it would have survived the black death, but when my new replacement BB came it couldn't read the card.......... which i thought was down to the black stuff - initially.
    However since then i've tried different cards leaving me to believe i may still have the data on the original and that the phone or card reader is cream-crackered? any clues?........ thanks in advance.

    I've read on some forums this could be a card formatting issue, anyone got any thoughts on that?

  • MBP won't read my SD card?

    So here's the issue:
    My MacBook Pro won't read my 4GB SD card from my camera. I was able to transfer all of my images earlier this afternoon but now it plainly won't show up. I checked Finder, I checked Disk Utility, and nothing. The Nikon software doesn't recognize it either. It's not like I have a whole boatload of photos to transfer (I only have four pics to transfer). Earlier, I installed the software after I ejected the card, but did not put it back in afterwards. Could it have something to do w/ the software I just downloaded?

    If you are using a DSLR camera, like for example a Canon 60D, there may be an option to use a "Low-Level Formatting" on the card. This should make it writable when putting it into the computer.
    To test this (and confirm it works) I did the following:
    Hardware Used:
    Canon 60D camera body
    Sandisk 32GB SDHC Extreme Card
    Macbook Pro 15" (mid 2010 model) with built-in SD card slot.
    Steps:
    Place SDHC card into camera (SD card may work as well). Navigate through menu until you arrive at settings that allow the camera to format the card. There may be an option to format it "low-level", which you would then select.
    -Note that all files on card will be erased permanently.-
    After the camera formats, eject the card from the camera, and place inside the built-in SD slot on the Macbook.
    The card should automatically mount, containing both read and write priviledges.
    Hope that helps.

  • Computer won't read my SD cards

    I am trying to upload pictures and videos from my SD Card and also from a PRO Duo SD Card, and my computer doesn't seem to be reading them.  I have done this before without any issues.  Please help, these are wedding photos and the bride and groom are counting on me. 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Some of the new SD cards are not playing well with older hardware.  since no mention of model number for the computer, I would suggest getting a new card reader (USB driven) that can read the newer SD card format.  The easiest method,  you could connect the camera with the supplied USB cable, that way the camera becomes the card reader.

  • DVD/CD-RW Drive (E) won't read new DVD disc

    My HP Pavillion laptop won't read/format a new DVD+R disc.  It will play CD's that I have formatted previously, however, now happens.  I have tried other new ones and I get the same results. Careful, deliberate solution stps will be greatly appreciated.

    Some of the faster DVD media is not readable by older DVD drives. They use newer materials for faster reading and writing. Try to buy a slower DVD media. I believe 4x was the slowest DVD, then 5,6,8,10,12,14 etc. Do you have any DVD that it can read? Look on the inside hole and you will see the speed of the DVD material printed on it.

  • My LG Cosmo Touch won't read my SD card for my pictures

    It reads my music but not my pictures i have tried to turn it off and then on and its still doesn't read my pictures on my SD Card can anyone help me please?

    KagomeAngel, pictures are definitely important and I will do my best to guide you in the right direction.  I have some questions to get started. First, are you using the SD card from a different phone you previously had activated? Were the pictures save on the previous phone to the SD card? If you are using an SD card from a different phone, you may need to format the card for the new phone, however the procedure will erase all data on the card.  It is recommended to have backup of  your data to transfer back to the phone. I have listed the steps below to save the pics to your SD card and info to format the new phone. 
    Steps to save pics SD card 
    From the main screen, touch Menu.
    Touch Media Center.
    Touch Picture.
    Touch My Pictures.
    Touch the Options menu.
    Touch Move.
    Touch a picture(s) then touch MOVE.
    Touch an option.
    To Card
    To Phone
    Touch Yes.
    Steps to format your SD card
    From the main screen, touch Menu.
    Touch Settings.
    Touch Memory.
    Touch Card Memory.
    Touch Format.
    Enter the Phone Lock Code (default is the last 4 digits of the phone number).
    Touch Yes. 

  • Wont read new Ram card

    Hi ive recently purchased a S10-2 running on windows XP. 2 days ago I purchased a 2gb ram card to replace the existing 1gb that came with it when i bought it last week.
    Installed it all in properly with the help of a video. (thats the only thing im sure about what ive done).
    when i start it up, it suggests I start it back to when the system last worked properly and 2 other options- Ive tried all 3 and cant get past that process, keeps reverting back to that page.
    Some forums are suggesting something about checking BIOS,
    would very much appreciate some tips as I have no idea what that is or where to check.
    meanwhile I will go and look up what Bios means :-)
    p.s
    Ram Ive purchased is a
     Zepto Memory DDR2 667MHz PC5300/2049MB
    kind regards
    Rob

    Bios is information that loads before windows to tell what is going on with the system.
    To get into bios (I am not aquainted with youir machine) your book might tell you, if not try hitting the delete key as the computer first begins to boot.  If that doesn't work try F2, try F8 and F10 if 2 doesn't work.
    When yoiu get to bios look around for a reset to default or restore defaults, then press F10 to save and exit.  That will pick up the memory if it hasn't already.
    You should pop the new memory out and stick it back in to be sure it seats correctly.  Twice I've changed memory in netbooks and for some reason it did not seat correctly.
    You might also try poping the new memory out and putting the old back in and be sure it works. 

  • Macbook pro Hard drive replacement issue, won't read new drive.

    I have a Macbook pro Core 2 Duo. The 2nd generation Macbook pro. I am trying to install a 640GB Western Digital Scorpio Blue hard drive. I have formatted the new drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with the GUID table though an external USB enclosure. I have installed OSX from the CD's onto this new drive and can boot from it externally. When I install it internally and try to boot I get a gray screen with a stop sign (circle with a line through it). If I boot from the install CD and use disk utility the compter sees the drive as 4.6TB and can't format it.
    Why would this drive work in an external enclosure but not internally?
    I can boot from the drive so it should be good.
    My original HDD works in the computer so the connections should all be good.
    I am confused. Any help that can be offered would be appreciated.

    Is the 640GB WD approved as an internal drive for your MBP? If it is, then the clean, formatted drive with no OSX should be installed in the MBP. Then start up (holding the "Option" key) from the OSX installation disc and install OSX. After a successful installation, the MBP will restart. Then run Software Update to get the latest version of OSX.

  • Time Machine Won't read new files

    Today I purchased a bigger a hard drive.  I put it in and everything was good.  When I tried to restore my system through time machine (which was from a external hard drive) it only read backup files from July 29 to July 21. 
    Why can't I open the last saved backup and restore it, which was yesterday 8/07/2013.  I moved a lot of files and deleted stuff since 07/29 and I want that system, not the 7/29/2013 backup.
    Any ideas what I need to do?  What is the point of time machine if I can't restore my last system settings?
    Thanks for reading. 

    Most likely, some folders were inadvertently excluded from your backups, and as a result you can't restore your data in Recovery, Setup Assistant, or Migration Assistant.
    Starting from a fresh installation of OS X, set up a new administrator account and log in. Follow the instructions on this page to associate your existing backups with the new installation.
    You should now be able to enter Time Machine and restore your user data from a snapshot.* I suggest you do this in two stages. Quit all applications except the Finder before you begin.
    Restore all the visible items at the top level of your home folder.
    Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. Enter Time Machine and restore all items in the Library folder. Log out and log back in as soon as the restore is complete.
    Any other invisible folders or files at the top level of your home folder that you want to preserve will have to be restored separately. For most users, that isn't necessary.
    You'll have to reinstall all third-party applications from scratch, or restore them from another kind of backup, if you have one.
    *If you don't see any snapshots in Time Machine, exit the time-travel view and then hold down the option key while selecting
    Browse Other Backup Disks...
    from the Time Machine menu, which has an icon that looks like a clock running backwards. Select the backups of your computer by its previous name. If you don't have the Time Machine menu, open the Time Machine preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked
    Show Time Machine in menu bar

  • MacBook Pro won't read the sdxc card from Panasonic GH2

    I've got a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8. Just took my first pictures/video with the GH2 using a Lexar 64GB SDXC card. When plugging in the USB cable that came witht the camera I got - "The disk you inserted was not recognized by this computer". Does anyone out there have the GH2 that has experienced this problem? Solution? I've written to Lexar but so far they've been no help. I know the file system for this card is FAT32 which is a PC format.  I know this card will work with the Mac...but how is it accomplished?

    Your easiest & cheapest way to transfer the camera pictures is to buy (about $10 - $20) a USB memory card reader. Just plug your camera's memory card into it & copy the pic files to your Mac. Quicker & easier than interfacing the camera for pic transfer.

  • Icloud won't read new apple id

    Hi
    I've changed my email provider and email address and have been able to update my iPhone and iPad in relation to my Apple ID for iTunes and Apps but iCloud is still reading my old ID and when I go into settings, can't update it.  Is there a process that I'm missing?
    thanks

    Same question Wish someone had replied!
    I changed my Apple ID to my new email and now cannot find any way to access icloud. Unfortunately I had allowed icloud to hijack my airbook files, so of course I am afraid I will lose them tomorrow when I exchange my iphone for a new one and cannot keep an icloud account i cannot access. What a poor sync system! Really atypical for apple!
