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.

    Yes, it s dangerous to pull on the cable, because you can lose some data and the file system may be damaged. But if you have a situation where you need the drive to take with you and want to just get out the cable to the USB port there is a little trick to disconnect the security apparatus:

    Do right click on 'My Computer'-> click on Hardware-> click "devicemanager"-> go into "diskdrives"-> then you need to click on the drive that is your USB - HDD-> with the right button and then click on 'Properties'-> in the menu properties of this drive, you must go on "policies" and click on "optimize for quick removal"-> and then click OK and exit this menu and all-> perform a reboot-> closing information fact. :)

  • USB Mass Storage Device problem

    I have the HP Pavilion Elite E9120f desktop computer. Whenever I start the computer, it shows that I have USB mass storage drives, G, H, I and J. However, there is no attached USB mass storage device. No one knows why this happens? I just usually click on the removal of the safety equipment and remove false devices. I get the message "this device can now be deleted without the computer problem. This machine runs Vista and has a 1 terabyte of hard drive. Thank you

    Bart, have you checked in 'My Computer' when this happens to see if the drives are there?  Almost looks like you have a virtual drive on your computer program.  Check also in start/startup to see if he is there that nothing listed that could cause this to happen.  Four readers Ghost is really strange.

  • Problem ejecting USB Mass Storage Device [Unlocker doesn't work]

    Hey everybody,

    Just like everyone else, I get a pop-up message when trying to eject my external hard drive WD: "problem ejecting USB Mass Storage Device. Windows can't stop... "and so on." This does not work when I've only sailed on the disk, but it does, for example, when I made a mistake - check or make a backup. I already checked the forums, but unlike everyone else, third-party programs do not work for me.
    I did the following:

    -closed open task

    -disabled virus scanner

    -used Unlocker and Process Explorer, but he can't find any process that locks my drive. What happens here?

    -rebooted in safe mode

    -disabled indexing

    It makes me crazy that I have to restart whenever I want my drive to eject.

    Oh, and I use Windows 7.

    Can someone help me solve this problem?

    Hello

    (1) is limited to any specific USB device?

    (2) did you try to connect the device to a different USB port and check if you are facing a similar question?

    This problem may occur if there are handles open with all the files in the USB (Universal Serial Bus) mass storage device are in use by another program. Follow these methods and check if that helps.

    Method 1:

    I suggest you run the hardware and devices Troubleshooter to check if it helps.

    Warning: After you used the clean boot in order to solve your problem follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual.

     

    Connecting and disconnecting USB devices:

     

    Most USB devices can be removed and disconnected at will. When you unplug the devices of storage, such as USB flash drives, you should be sure that the computer has finished saving all the information on the device before removing it. If the device has an activity light, wait a few seconds after the light has finished flashing before unplugging.

    If you see the icon remove the device safely in to the far right of the taskbar notification area, you can use this to ensure that devices have finished all operations in progress and are ready to remove. Click the icon and you will see a list of devices. Click the device you want to remove.

    You can use any USB port when you plug in a device you have installed beforehand. However, the first time you connect a device to a particular port, Windows will install the driver for this device again.

  • Need to format the drive due to some problems and having to reinstall Windows 7. I could use the same product key

    Original title: Windows 7

    I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP 1 that have previously been installed then bought my laptop. Product key number is fixed under the laptop.

    I need to format my drive due to some problems and having to reinstall Windows 7. can I use the same product key and where can I get the installer of Windows 7 because I don't have it.

    Thank you

    New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

    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.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones 9100 internal Flash not regarded as mass storage device

    BB 9100 (OS5) when connected to the laptop USB does not show memory internal player "Blackberry1. Only media card shows as drive "Blackberry user tools.

    Tried it on WIN XP and WIN7 and get the same results.

    Synchronization with DTM 6 works fine. Driver USB BB Smartphone is 4.1.0.4.

    My 9000 "BOLD" (OS5) and the Torch 9800 (OS6) show the internal memory and the press card as readers on the same laptop to try with the 9100.

    Is the drive of "Blackberry user tools" the equivalent of what I'm used to because two separate drives on the "BOLD" and the torch?

    Is this unique to the Pearl? Someone else?

    So, Yes, this is part of the 256 MB memory unit.  It's the same memory used for the operating system.  I do not recommend to use in any storage media or documents.  Make sure that almost everything is recorded on the press card.  In otherwise you will fill the memory of your device and eventually the operating system will remove the logs of calls, emails, texts, etc.

    Your 9000 (as well as some other features) boasts an additional memory location that works as a multimedia card integrated.  It's different than the 256 MB memory unit on your 9100.

  • 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!
