BB Curve :: Media Card Not Read On Computer Software?
Jul 14, 2011
I just bought a BB Curve 8520 which has a 2GB media card in it. On the BB under memory the card is being read showing 1.8GB free space. But when I coonect it to computer Desktop software is only giving me the option of device memory for media storage. Which is saying that I don't have the room to save any files. Also Windows Media Player won't read the BB, it just says connect device, so I can't sync any music to the BB even though there is space for it.
I've had my blackberry curve 8520 for over a year and never had any problems with the media card until now. I'm unable to look at any pictures, videos or music on my phone as i can not install the media card on my phone. I'm unable to repair it and format it also. The media card will also not be read when I plug it into my laptop with the USB. I definitely know its the media card and not my phone itself as I've tried my brothers media card in my phone and it worked perfectly. When i put my media card in his phone, it did the same thing and came up with the same error. how i'll be able to make the media card read in my phone or my pc so I can backup the data as I don't really want to lose it all?
I'm having troubles with my Curve. It suddenly won't read my media card and displays a message that say "Media card inserted contains errors, do you wish to fix it" When I clicked yes, it say "Repair failed". I tried viewing the media card on my laptop with a reader and it works. but everytime I put it back on my Curve, it wont work.
I got my BB9900 and it worked well initially,now it does not read my media card,i tranferred the media card into anotherb BB and it works perfectly,It also goes screen blank after initiating a call.This fone ids too much of an investment to FFF up so soon.
I put a couple of albums on a Mirco SD card and inserted it into my Xoom.The card shows up under /mnt/external1The albums are there and I can select each song individually and play them using the default "Music" player, RockPlayer, or Winamp.What I can't figure out is how to get any of those Media Players to read from the SD Card automatically?
Ok, media card was working fine, had alot of work pictures stored on it and was becoming a hassle to hunt through all of them to find what I wanted. So, I inserted media card in computer and transfered what I wanted to a folder on the computer. Then I formatted the card using the computer. When I put the card back into the phone, the phone knows its there, but I must have wiped the card completely as none of the folders for video, pics, etc. are on it anymore. If I take a picture and go to find it, the media card does not even show up, just device memory.
Does anybody have a remedy for this? I already tried formatting the card in the phone but that didn't work. The phone is telling me in the memory options that 1.8GB is free, so I know it works, it just lost the folders or whatever........
i just recieved my blackberry charger pod to finnally turn on my blackberry.. but the computer dosent read my phone at all it charges yes but cant reconqnize it at all and my usb conection on my blackberry does not work thats the reason y i got a charger pod so my phone only charges with the pod.. if not it does not work .. what can i do for my computer to read my phone ..
my 8520 curve won't read it's SD card? i know it's definitely 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?
I have a Curve 8900 with no SIM card that I am using strictly off-line and via Wi-Fi.(No Cellular connection)When I plug it into my computer with a USB cable, it syncs email, contacts and calendar with no problems at all.However, when I try to transfer music, pictures or videos to or from the BB, I get a message saying "A problem occurred while attempting to connect to your BlackBerry device." It then offers the "Troubleshoot my connection" link.If I go into the "Device Options" section of the Desktop Software, I can check the "Organizer" or "My computer's date and time..." boxes under "Synchronize" but the "Media" box is grayed out and cannot be checked.
One step forward 2 steps back! I had a problem with my e-mails I stopped receiving messages on Friday and since talking to the service centre I now have 2 icons on my main screen. The new one has a globe at the bottom and my email address at the top when I scroll over it. All very nice but totally unnecessary. Since this icon has appeared all my emails on my main computer are being marked as read. They were not before Friday Any ideas??
I have had my BlackBerry Curve 9330 for almost a year now, and suddenly today I got the error "Media Card Storage can not be accessed due to fatal errors" I havent dropped my phone or gotten it wet. I inserted the card into its USB adapter for my computer and tried to format it Fat, exFat, NTFS, and FAT in Cmd Prompt. I hope my blackberry didnt break my MicroSD card..
ı usually plug my usb in n listen to music on my phone via my pc, for some reason everything has disappeared from my phone but when ı switch my memory card with another phone then all my data comes up, ı tried using a different memory card which worked for a day then the same thing happened to that memory card once ı put in into this blackberry.
ive just put a memory card into my 8520 and it saying it needs formatting but yesterday it was working fine so i just put another memory card in and my phone wont read both of them and saying 1 of them has no size on the card but when i try to read my files it saying the card is empty me recover all of my files please ive not done anything to them like formatted or
I have this issue where everytime I connect my BB Curve 8520 to my laptop using the USB cable, for some strange reason my laptop unable to read the memory card in the device. So I'm unable to transfer all my media data from my BB to my laptop. However, I still can back up my BB contact, update my BB OS and make changes to my BB using the BB Desktop Manager.
I synced songs from itune and ripped the ones that I could not sync. I got rid of itunes, and then migrated from my 8330 to my new 8530. The music came over to the new 8530 just fine. I cannot get the media files moved to my computer (not all of them anyway), and I cannot see the files on the BB or on my computer when it is connected in mass storage mode.
Tried to format it on pc/bb bt didnt work.When i load it into the pc via the memory reader the files show up as read only. I double checked to be sure the adaptor wasn't locked and even tried with another memory card and it was fine with the other card.My 8gb card is new and i formatted it as i put it in my bb. I media sync'd with desktop software and when i disconnected I got the error.
Last night I bought two CDs on line. i downloaded them to my computer and plugged in my phone to download to the phone. Media link started up and downloaded every CD on the computer before I could stop it. (I had selected only the new CD's in media link) I had to go into my music and delete everything that was duplicated. Then I discovered that my playlists were all empty. I had gone though all of my music and put all songs in playlists. Now I had to do it again!! I thought I was all fixed up and discovered this morning that all 1,290 photos from my computer were loaded onto my phone as well. DO NOT leave media link on your computer. I'm removing it when I get home and I'll start doing the old copy/paste routine. Motorola should send warnings about Media Link to all customers.

I have a BB curve 3g(9300). I used to connect my BB to my PC with the USB data cable. I would than simply drag songs from my computer into music folder. I have not used the Blackberry media manager software. The songs used to work perfectly and gave me no troubles. However today i wanted to add some more songs so I did the same thing. When I disconnected my BB from the computer I found that there was no music nor were there any pictures that I had clicked earlier. I connected my BB to my computer via data cable. I found that all the music and pictures were there in their respective folders. Please note I dont have a media manager software and I directly open the Blackberry folder when I connect my BB to PC. So the nature of the problem is that when connected to my PC, I can see all the music and pictures on my PC but however when I disconnect my BB I cannot see any pictures or music. After fidgeting with my BB, I found that after i go to "media" than "explore" than "media card" than "show hidden files" there are hidden copies of the following folders - Black berry, files, fonts Recycler and start.app.These copies appear first and then there is a line separating them from rest of the list of icon. Under "Blackberry" copy in the "music" folder all my music is there. under pictures all my pictures are present. When I click at the non hidden "blackberry icon I get a message Unable to display/media card/blackberry.exe?
Yesterday i was running out of charge and didn't have the charger - a colleague had a charger cable connected to his PC, so i charged my phone through this cable.Next thing i know - i open the pictures folder and i only see the pictures stored on the device - which were taken ages ago. All pictures, videos and voice notes that were on the media card are gone.I took a picture just to see where it gets saved - it mentioned "saved on media card". I open the picture folder and it's not there.
I tried the trick of choosing "view pictures" through the camera - nothing. went to Options - memory - and the media card IS recognized, and says "total size 900 MB, Free space 700 MB).Now something weird happened - i went to the pictures folder and "created a new folder". It got created on the media card and now it shows. And thus, any picture i take and i save on THIS folder - it appears in the "all pictures" folder normally.

I have a 4GB media card and nothing will save on it at all. I can't take videos or pictures anymore as it keeps saying 'File not Found' and I can't download music on it anymore. This problem has been going on for some time now, I can't remember when it started to happen exactly, but it is really annoying as media was one of the main things I used my phone for.
I wish to recover deleted pictures (format is jpg.rem) on media card. No, I did not back up the device before deleting.Yes, I tried a couple different free and basic undelete softwares and none of these documents were identified.One blog I saw said it is not possible to retrieve such deleted docs but I am hopeful this is not the case.
My new Blackberry Curve 9300 (Canadian) came with a 2G micro sd media card. I want to put the used 8G card from my old LG (from/ used in America) into the Blackberry. Will I be able to access my old music and pics from the LG?

How do I know if I have a media card? I didn't buy one extra, but there is a little card in the back of my phone. Would one have come with it? I am trying to put music on my phone and am having a hard time and now I'm not sure I even have a media card. This is my first Blackberry and I have only had it about a month.
I know how to install the media card itself. my problem is when I put in the new card my themes and some apps wrer gone. Do I need to format the card transfer stuff.I don't want to do I need to format the card in the phone onthe computer and if in the computer "how". I am trying to go to a 1gb to a 4gb... I looked on the forums for awhile and found only the tutorial on inserting the card, I had no trouble with that. Also, sorry if there is already an answer out there.
I've seen various versions of this question but haven't found an answer yet. I just bought a second hand 8900 to replace my damaged one. The problem is the device doesn't seem to be able to recognize my media card. In the options > memory it says "a media card is not presently inserted in the device". The card works fine in the old device and in a completely different type of phone from a friend. Their card is also not recognized by my device, so I've ruled out the card as the problem. I've tried all the usual fixes - battery pull, software update, etc but with no success. Is this phone just defective or am I missing something?
