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).

  • 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!

    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 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.

  • 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 USB storage device

    A USB storage can be used on Priv?  USB storage works on my passport, but when it is plugged into my private device does not recognize it at all.  Thank you!

    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.

  • Problem of having to re - blackBerry Smartphones format memory to use Blackberry 8330 as mass storage device

    So I created it for my BB Curve 8330 (Verizon Wireless service) last night.

    • I formatted the 2 GB micro SD card
    • I changed the drive letter to avoid a conflict
    • I have all the latest updates I know from this announcement. (4.5.0.77 on the phone itself)
    • List of media cards: support 'on', 'none', Mode of mass storage card encryption mode 'on', scoped the mass storage mode when connected to 'yes '.

    Everything was fine. Even had a few tunes out there to jam to.

    Not even 24 hours later, I wanted to add more music and photos to personalize the BB more far. So I plug it into the PC but my computer Vista OS won't let me access the memory card. The BB has popped up on the list of drives, but if I click it, it says I need to insert a memory card into the mass storage device.

    I go to the BB Desktop Manager and go to the media. I have almost the same question.

    Even with a pop of the battery, check the memory card using a card reader (card is good) and the reintegration of the memory card, the problem persisted. I had to re - format the memory card on the BB again (to wipe everything), and then when I plugged in the USB cord, I could access the card again in the mass storage device.

    Reformatting was not a big deal since it's not like anything on the card has not been already saved elsewhere. However, I really don't want to have to do that on a regular basis. I understand the technology hiccups every now and then, but if I have to do every time, it's going to be a pain in the rear.

    So all that being said, is there something that I forgot that I need to check or trouble so I don't have to constantly re - format my memory card and re-load all on it? I have tried to do everything that I could think of and I tried searching these forums very, but I had no luck (or did not use the appropriate search string) in the generation of responses.

    A card microSDHC fixed the problem. The old card memory, I got in it was a regular 2GB microSD card. I bought a 4 GB microSDHC card and the problems no longer exist.

    I wanted to get a card greater new anyway, so I'm glad that all worked where I didn't have to do anything unwanted. The old card memory is great; It would be not just works perfectly in my Blackberry. I'll give it to the lovely lady of the House, who can update the 1 GB card in her phone.

    I just bought a second hand U200-104 and it installs now. My OS is Windows Vista Business 64-bit & 32-bit seem to work ok. Although I installed all that he is on the page of the driver that I keep having an unidentified "Mass Storage Device" in my device list.

    Thanks in advance :) a mollion

    Hey Buddy,

    > Location: 3 PCI Bus, device 11, function 2
    To be honest, this information is not useful
    You should check the vendor and device IDS in the devices in the Device Manager.

    At the present time it is difficult to tell what device it is, but you should try to install the card reader driver. Visit the Web from Toshiba for this!

    What happened with a USB card reader and my mobile. Once I have the error box I get a message saying that the device will not work properly?

    Anyone has any ideas at all?

    Hello

    What series of notebook or laptop model do you have?
    Could you please put the whole number? It would be very useful for further study.

    All the installation driver Toshiba must be made in the right order.
    In most cases, you would find a txt file of installation instruction on the Toshiba driver page.
    You must follow these instructions to ensure that all drivers would be executed correctly.
