Media card insert

first of all try inserting the memory card into other phone if it works then format it and re-insert it again.if still it does'nt work then check out your memory card jack present in blackberry.

My card's properties shows "Generic Flat" probably a linux file system. A windows OS will show the card when inserted in the device but there is no option to format. When inserted in a card reader windows will not recognize it. Resign yourself to using the card in the phone or find a linux computer. Try booting your windows machine from DVD-Rom with Knoppix, a live linux file system. If the card is recognized format to a FAT 32 or NTFS file system..

Hi there,

The best thing you can try to do is connect the media card to your computer. When you see it show up in "my computer" or "computer" right click on it, and select "format". Make sure the formatting is in either FAT or FAT32. Once that is done, put it back in the phone and try again. If you cannot plug the card into the computer, then use the supplied USB cable for the phone, and plug that in to the computer. On your screen it will ask if you want to sync, enable mass storage or charge only, make sure you select enable mass storage. If you do this your card should be readable on the computer and then you can format it using the same method I described. Just note that if your blackberry gets plugged in, it will show up with 2 "storage cards". One of them is the memory that is on the phone and the other is the actual media card. Make sure it is the media card that you have selected to format.

To delete all the data, go into Options / Security Options / General Settings, clik the wheel and then click Wipe Handheld.

This will remove all of the DATA, and not any of the applications.

From the Home screen of the BlackBerry smartphone, click Options > Media Card or Options > Advanced Options > Media Card.
Display the menu and click Format Card.

• some times Format Card option does not appear on the menu, skip the step and perform the procedure that follows.
• A warning message will appear asking if you are certain you would like to format the card. Click Yes to continue.
  If the Format Card option does not appear on the menu, complete the following steps:
• On the Media Card screen, set the Mass Storage Mode Support field to Off.
  
• Display the menu and click Save. The Media Card screen closes automatically.
  
• Click Media Card to reopen the Media Card screen.
  To format the media card, display the menu and click Format Card.
  
• A warning message will appear asking if you are certain you would like to format the card. Click Yes to continue.

Complete the following steps:
1) Use a search engine or a dedicated download site to find and download a third-party conversion tool. The tool must have the ability to convert the format of the audio or video file to a file format that the Media application can read.
2) Install the third-party conversion tool and follow the program instructions to convert the audio or video file to a format that the Media application supports. Refer to the following tables for optimal settings in the Media application.
