BlackBerry Smartphones Mass Storage device not recognized...

I am running Windows XP (Media Center Edition) and at the time where I was using a 8320, I didn't have this problem... but now that I have a 8330, my computer does not recognize the MicroSD card, I got plugged into my phone. It's literally the same card that was in the 8320, and otherwise everything else works perfectly.

It is listed as an unknown in my Device Manager device, specifically as a "RIM Composite Device".

* I already uninstalled the drivers of BB on my computer and reinstalled them.

* I already uninstalled DM and reinstalled - not that I thought he would do anything, but it was worth it.

* I went to the Microsoft support site and tried to use the drivers they have there.

* I tried to disable the driver in my device manager and tried to force XP to recognize the device. No dice.

UH... that's all! Any suggestions?

Just an update to this issue.
 
It is not really a solution, but I am sick of XP Media Center Edition, so I did a complete reformat of my laptop and installed XP Pro (as the words of God!) Long story short, my computer is recognizing the card support very well now. I can only assume there was some parameter of the register or glitch in my MCE that prevented the drivers to work as they should.
 
Anyway, solved! Thanks for the help!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones mass storage device: what!

    Hello

    When I plug my BB on the USB port to load I get a pop-up on the BB asking me if I want to turn on mass storage mode.  What do this exactly?  I always select "no".

    I have a 8 GB card in it, if that helps.

    Thank you!

    It's just a matter if you want to be able to see the memory card on the computer (so you can add or remove files it contains).

    Hey cloud9n,

    Welcome to the community of BlackBerry Support Forums.

    What BlackBerry do you currently use?

    Also have you tried going through all the steps described in this article? www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB19717

    What version of Windows you are currently using as well?

    I look forward to your reply.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Mass Storage error message

    I have a 8 GB msd card in the 8320, mass storage is on, but when I access the phone via Roxio media manager, it the message "Please activate the Stoge mass on your device in Mode" Mithril. Tried on and outside, nothing. I can see the storage memory phones. There are pictures of the camera stored on the card, I can see from the phone. Also I can not see the phone via the XP Explorer.

    All other synchronization functions seem to work.

    Thanks for the answers but not resolved the problem. I found the answer on another forum and will post did it here because this is a common problem.

    The phone (which was new out of the box T - Mobile 30 December 2008) doesn't have the correct operating system for T-Mobile. The version of the phone was 4.0.X (very old - makes me wonder about the history of the phone) and the Media Manager software was also 4.1.X - the version required for Desktop Manager is 4.6.x and for the version phone 4.5.x

    You must first install the correct desktop to your manager, then open that and install the new operating system for the phone (takes a few hours), then you must re-enable all e-mail accounts and programs, as well as the phone itself.

    Questions which fixed the upgrade:

    Card Media access

    Media Manager

    Sync

    Address book

    and many other things.

    Now, if someone has a suggestion for a good media manager that works with the Blackberry, I would be really glad the Roxio is a Devourer of memory and is clumsy and slow. BlackBerry needs to find a better partner.

    My last words - why with a new phone, I can't this Council for support of BB? I guess that there is no support.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones mass storage problem

    Hey guys,.

    I've been going through google for the last hour or so trying to find a solution to this, but I think I actually found a unique situation. Probably not so Im hoping someone here can help.

    I bought a 4 GB Micro SD SDHC memory card for my phone from amazon.co.uk

    I checked compatibility and according to amazon it seems to work with practically all the 8300, 8100 and new models.

    OS on my phone is 4.5.0.163

    OS is Xp SP3

    Director of office v6 (the one with the black gui)

    My problem is the following:

    I connected my phone to my pc via the usb cable, the software loaded but claims it cannot detect the memory card. I checked in the 'Media Card' window on my phone and it says:

    Media card support: on

    Encryption mode: Off

    Mode Mass Storage Support: on

    Turn on Mass Storage automatic when connected: fast

    Total area: 3.6 GB

    Free space: 3.6 GB

    Its a new card fresh on the box, never been used.

    The phone seems to be picking up, but the software is not.

    With the Auto activate together to "ask", "Connecting to the office" message flashes on the screen of my phone. He of coming for a second then turns off then upward once again and he made it 3 - 4 times before it finally goes back to base Office of phones with no prompt to come.

    When I put the enable auto on "yes" the "connecting to office" message arrives and remains standing, but I still cant transfer all the music on my phone and that's the only reason why I bought the card.

    Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    OK, after doing some experiments with the software Ive got it works!

    I simply uninstalled the DM V6 and installed V4.6, and now it works fine.

    Putting music on the BB as we speak for the bus ride tomorrow ^^

    So yeh my dose is if your using V4.5.0.163 of the software install and use office v4.6 Manager downloaded from the blackberry homesite as I did =)

  • BlackBerry Smartphones mass storage mode

    Where on my BB Torch mass storage Mode?

    When you are on this screen, press the BB menu button and another menu should appear with the feature activate.

    Anyway, when you connect the device to the computer, you should get three options, which one is the Mode of USB storage.  What to choose, and then the options of WIndows for the USB storage should appear.  At this time, you can open the folders on your device, then drag and drop what you want folders on your PC the files on your device.

    yo mean USB storage?  Ask yourself if the Priv supports USB OTG?

    Yes it does, but compared to the Passport, I think you need to install an application to app/filemanager OTG since the playstore first.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones multimedia 8 GB not recognized

    I got a 8 GB MicroSD memory card and inserted into my Blackberry Pearl 8130.  It worked very well and was able to record videos, take pictures, store images and video on the map of support, etc.  Suddenly, I tried to access things through my PC, then he said that he had a problem with the hardware.  Then, I checked on my phone, and it no longer recognizes the Micro SD as being in the phone card.

    I took the MicroSD card and put in my card and plugged into my PC, it is able to read very well and all my data is still there.  Does anyone know of any problems with the cards 8 GB MicroSD and Pearl 8130?

    Thank you.

    Finally, I went and bought a card 4 GB (same provider, Kingston).  It would not be read.  Then, I almost gave up, and then after returning from vacation, I turned off my phone, removed the battery, put the card MicroSD in, put back in the battery and turned on the phone.  After that, everything worked.

    So I guess when you replace MicroSD cards, you will need to take the battery out, then, put again.

  • BlackBerry showing only not as mass storage device

    When I connect my blackberry to my Vista computer, it does recognize it as a storage device.

    Hi RodneyThomas,

    Do you get any error messages? What is the exact error message?

    ·         Find out which software and devices are and are not compatible with Windows Vista.

    ·         Look for links to drivers and upgrades that will make your compatible computer.

    Windows compatibility:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility

    Try to install the software by using compatibility mode:

    Run the program compatibility Wizard

    1. open the program compatibility Wizard the by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking programs, and then clicking on use an older with this version of Windows program.

    2. follow the directions in the wizard.

    If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation for the program and, using the wizard disk, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. The wizard is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.
