• Now the files sent by LR6 are write protected

  Apparently I spoke too soon because I'm clearly not out of the woods yet.  Yes, I can now access my plug-ins and external LR6 editors, but I just discovered after working on a LR file in a NIK plug when I try to save the changes, it stops at halfway and indicates that the changes cannot be saved because the files are write-protected.

  I checked that I transferred to a disc external hard is clearly stated as being with read & write privileges, so I guess it must be something that LR6 makes on its own files on my exercise of the function "change in" the library toolbar.  But at this point, I blocked.  Any thoughts there?

  Lighroom has no control over the State of reading / writing of files.

  If the file or folder has the appropriate permissions, it could still be that the file is 'Read only' marked in its properties, and you need to check and change if necessary.

• Dell XPS 8900 media card reader write protected: how to remove the protection?

  I use the card reader to write mp3 files on a micro-SD card to use in a small MP3. Until today, no problem. Now I get the error 'write protected' - and it is not because of the tab in the adapter SD being in the wrong position.

  There were a few quirks days when card readers are presented as explicit readers in this PC, but this phenomenon disappeared when I restarted the computer. I suspect that this may be related.

  Advice as to how do these ports without protection would be appreciated. Meanwhile, Plan B, using a to a USB external card reader works.

  Also: Run Windows 10 as originally installed on the computer.

  The outcome: diskpart approach after trying and failing, I decided to try canned air in the slot for the fourth time (this is what I did the first time that the crack would not read and later that day).

  This time I gave him a dose really long and deep air under pressure. And voila, he now writes and reads.

  Sorry to take all this space on what turned out be a non-issue, or should have been.

  I have three other computers with media slots, two of them for close to three years, and no one has posted this question - as in my XPS 8900 after only three weeks of minimal use of niche.

  Guess never say never is a good adage.

• HPE-470f built in SD card reader reads the cards as write protected

  WIN 7 Professional 64 bit, SP 1 and all the updates, latest Bios and drivers installed, HPE-470f

  The SD card reader to work properly.  Put it in any piece now, the camera sees the chip, reports that it needs to be formatted (not true) and when he tries, then says it cannot complete.  Displays the disk disk management is write protected.  I suspect the internal switch inside the drive is blocked or broken.

  have you tried: blowing the dust out of the drive, spray of contact cleaner in the device, try several chips (all of which work well in my cameras before and after trying in the HP drive.)

  Any suggestions?

  Apart from the drive of cleaning dust and spray contact cleaner in the drive, I have:

  1 uninstalled all USB devices in Device Manager and forced the system to reinstall everything.

  2 uninstall the drive itself in the Device Manager and forced the system to reinstall.

  3 tried several cards in the reader with similar results: the system sees the card, says it has to be formatted (it was already formatted in the camera).  Formatting attempts get an error that it cannot be completed.

  4. the program of HP, but it can not format the card to be downloaded.  Reports "unable to format the device.

  I've always used player soft and methods of ejecting device to remove cards.  I think that it is a loss with a broken read/write switch.  It's too hard getting the subassembly of legacy of the case card reader.  It takes almost a complete disassembly of the machine to get out.

  Hi Hari,

  Thanks for posting your query to the Microsoft forum. I will definitely help you with this.

  I would like to know;

  1. What is the brand and model of your computer?
  2. Do you have any pending updates?

  This happens usually if the SD card is locked. You can try the methods below and check.

  Method 1: Unlock the memory card.

  There is a switch lock on the left side of the SD card. Make sure the lock switch is dragging up (unlock position). You will not be able to edit or remove content on the card if it is locked.

  If the problem persists, follow method 2.

  Method 2: Remove the write protection depends on the source of the problem.

  The SD card has a tab on the side write protection which slipped down. This can happen when the card is inserted in the computer. Try to remove the card, push the rear tab in place and try to insert into the computer again. Read the manual provided with the SD card to help.

  If the problem persists, follow method 3.

  Method 3:

  a. Insert the memory stick into the computer

  b. go to desktop and under the gaze of devices with removable storage for your card reader

  c. right-click on it, and then click Properties

  d. in the pop up box, sometimes there is an option to remove the write protection. Change the State of this option, and then try again.

  How do I turn off write-protection so I can transfer music from my pc to my sd card?

  Hello

  1. you have any problem with the SD card?

  2. What is the brand and model of the phone?

  3. you try to connect the cable or Bluetooth?

  To transfer the music on the SD card, you will need to use a card reader that simply bouchera into your USB port.

  Once the card in the drive the computer will recognize as a reader. Go to my computer and click on it.

  Click on the SD card (which should appear once connected) and now you can drag and drop your songs on the SD card.

• How to detect the write-protected SD card

  Hi all

  I couldn't find the answer to my question, so I started a new thread.

  Problem: I would like to as for Labview (or directly TestStand) detect programmatically whether an SD card (secure digital) card has the "write protection" slider switch active.

  Is it possible somehow?

  PS: I also couldn't find this information anywhere in Windows 7 as well. I use LV 2011 SP1.

  PPS: For the moment I'm trying to create a file on the SD card and detect the clerical error, telling me whether or not the card is protected. But I would like a more elegant solution.

  Wow, it's already here for Labview: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/2048

  All you have to do (I hope) is to analyse this value 'flags '!
