SOURCE: "Memory card is unusable"

This error message means that the memory card is slow, corrupted, or unreadable. Turn off the camera then insert a new memory card.

SOURCE: My old memory card all

Try putting the new memory card into the camera and format the card. If the camera doesn't accept that it has a memory card turn the camera off remove the battery and then after about ten seconds put the battery back in and turn it on and see if you can format the new card again. You should always format the memory cards in the camera, even though there is a delete for single images leave them on the card and format the card. Always format the card in the camera not the computer.
By deleting single images in on the card while in the camera it sets up little partitions and pretty soon the memory card is rendered useless. Formatting in the computer writes a little program to the card which the camera can not read.

SOURCE: Just purchased and installed SD

A bunch of stuff could be happening. First did you format the new card if not see if it can be formatted to the camera. if not then you will need to download the newest updates for that camera from the Kodak web site. For example the camera is set )internally) to accept a 1gig card and you installed a 2gig card it won't recognize the card until the camera firmware is updated. The easiest way is to format the card first.

SOURCE: THE CAMERA WILL NOT EXCEPT THE SD CARD,SAYS IT IS

All memory cards need to be formatted to the camera they are going to be used in. By doing this cleans the card and makes it ready to work properly in your camera. After using the card and downloading the pictures to the computer the memory card should be formatted again to give a clean card to put more pictures on. The SD cards also have a lock so you need to make sure that this lock is in the unlock position before installing it in the camera. On the upper left corner you will see a small white switch make sure this has been slide forward toward the top edge (towards the gold contacts) Insert it in the camera and close the door see picture.

Some cameras can only use SD cards...not SDHC cards. Check your manual.

Garmin Nuvi 360 says memory full cant reset

Connect the unit up to a PC and try deleting some of the unused text-to- speech (TTS) voices. Keep only the ones that you need. Delete any unused photos or MP3's...and also any unused vehicle icons on the unit. When the unit is booting, it loads in all of the vehicle icons allowing you to change the selected vehicle, so this too uses up valuable memory.

SDHC card won't work

Your card is an SDHC, your camera supports only SD/MMC cards. I know this because i found thisp ostlooking for a way to make it accept SDHC cards, a software update could easily work in theory but someone would have to write that update. Technology changes fast doesnt it.
