sd card troubles
 

ok so i took out my card tonight, then put it back into my phone. I put my battery back in, waited for it to start. then randomly the stock background came up, and all of my pictures are gone. i looked in the media card option, it says "memory card cannot be read. verify that the memory card is formatted". i then attempted formatting it and the message "media card format failed" shows up. ive tried the battery pull but it makes no difference.. is there anything im missing? and also is there a way to do this without losing the pictures,videos and ringtones on my memory card?

You can try putting the card into your PC transferring the media to the PC, hopefully you did not loose them when you formatted the card in your BB. Then format the card with your PC and put the card back into the BB. If the PC doesn't work you might have a bad card.

thank you for such a fast reply.
il give that a try and il post back with the results.

i tried backing up my memory card and my computer doesnt detect the card reader. i tried on another computer and the same, its as if it doesnt even exist.

am i just going to have to deal with the fact that i lost everything and reformat..or does anybody know something that i dont?:???:

iv been trying to reformat the card. yet when i click format on my computer nothing happens. anybody have any ideas on what to do?

This happened to me last week and as of today, I still couldn't get my bb or pc to read it. I wonder if anyone has any good ideas... :-/

Did you unlock the card adapter when you put it in to your computer?

how do you do that?

the little switch on the side of the card adapter. Should be a picture of a lock next to it

that makes no difference.i also tried with a memory card reader.it remains undetected.
most likely im just going to buy a new card

same for me. didn't do anything. :(

try kingston. I have not had a problem with one yet. Try this site

Put the card in a camera, and see if the pictures show up. If not, the card is probably defective.

just tried that and it says media card cannot be read. and needs to be formatted.which i tried and that doesnt work.
sooo seems to mee this cards dead and im just gonna buy a new one tommorow
