Memory card not deteced by mobile or computer.

I have a 2 gb sandisk memory card. it came in a pack with two different sized adapters that the memory card can slip into, depending on what size is compatible with your computer (i did not know that this is what you do with the memory card). i was keeping the tiny memory card in my phone (LG choc 8500), while plugging the charger cord (which doubles as the usb cable) into my computer. alas, that did nothing. more frustration–thinking it must be that i don’t have the right “software” to run to access my photos and doing many searches for the “right” software solution… then the discovery with inserting the memorycard into the adapter (on my laptop, it’s at the front below the touchpad-very sly sneaky place). then, after, again, nothing happening, searching forums on other lost memory card-ers, i discovered that there is a very tiny “switch” on the left of the adapter, next to the “S” on sandisc, that must be flipped down in order to “work,” or grant photo/media access. a prompt came up on my screen asking me to choose which program to run/open the photos on (for me, it was windows media center), and to my relief, all my photos were there! i hope this helps.

I have a couple of ideas…

  1. Check your mobile phone and computer are both compatible (though they should be…,)
  2. Clean the micro sd card
  3. Make sure its properly inserted
  4. Turn it the other way round

Are you serious? The cards will only go in one way.

All memory cards come formatted from the factory.

Hey there, I don’t know if this is the right thread but it seems so…

Got an HTC HD2 with a micro SDHC 4Gb which was working excellent until… today. After I removed the card (just without a reason) and put it back again, the phone is prompting me to format it in order to be able to read it. If I try to read it in my netbook (windows 7), it’s not appearing at all in “my computer” folder and in my XP laptop getting a prompt “disk is not formatted. Do you want to format it now?”. I have lots of info in it and I hope there is a solution. Thanks a lot.

The same thing happened to me this morning.  I have a Droid X.  This morning a notification came up that the SD card is blank.  Everything was fine when I went to bed last night.  I hope there is a solution to retrieve the data on the card.

MEMORY CARD 8GB NOT FORMATED COMPUTER AND MOBILE

If the card is being seen and read by your computer in a card reader, but not in your mobile device it seems to me you should probably check with the manufacturer of that device as to a possible reason why.

Sounds like maybe you formatted it wrong. What size is it, and with what program/device did you format it?

2GB (& less) should be formatted as FAT.

4GB (& larger) should be formatted as FAT32.

Good morning,

I have a SanDisk SDHC Card 8GB, that as of this morning cannot be detected by my laptop (Acer) and previously have had no issues. Further, I inserted the card back into my camera I had taken it out of (Nikon) and my camera shows a message of “this card cannot be used”, when it is loaded with pictures and has been used for almost a year now. Can you help me troubleshoot or tell me where to take it to fix it? Not worried about the card itself but the pictures are irreplaceable! Thanks so much!
