It's on the left side. Right below the left side convenience button. It even has a small lil icon signifying an sd card.

Looks like Greg went offline.

Format the card while in the Bold. This will create a file structure with folders. Then hook up to the PC and drag and drop into the correct folder (Music, Pictures, etc etc).

thats a thanks to everyone btw

**bt224** · 01-29-2009, 02:33 PM

Weird, you show offline.

**bt224** · 01-29-2009, 02:34 PM

Go to Options>Memory. Scroll down to your media card and click. Select Format.

**crimsoneclipse** · 01-29-2009, 02:36 PM

haha you guys make it sound so easy :blush:

When you hook it up to the pc with a cable and start the bb desktop, go to media, and you'll see two panes, one will be the pc, the other will show the phone and the media card. You can put your stuff in the folders it creates.

What I usually do is take the micro sd card out and put it in an adapter, and put it in the sd slot in my laptop. Then I open my computer and drag stuff to it there.

ok formatting done, so now when i plug it in i should have folders?
or the ability to CREATE folders?

**crimsoneclipse** · 01-29-2009, 02:38 PM

also, when i plug it in now it askas if i want to enable mass media
whats that?
and do i?

**greg24** · 01-29-2009, 02:39 PM

no need to blush, thats why we are here

**greg24** · 01-29-2009, 02:40 PM

enable mass storage. thats the easiest way to do this stuff

**bt224** · 01-29-2009, 02:41 PM

Enable Mass Storage

Under My Computer you should see both your card and the available storage on the phone.

**crimsoneclipse** · 01-29-2009, 02:45 PM

and i can just drag stuff to my card, create folders etc?
and my blackberry is intuitive enough to know what to do with that stuff?

**crimsoneclipse** · 01-29-2009, 02:46 PM

like i can see my blackberry, and it has folders for ringtunes etc, so do i want to drag my ringtunes to that foolder, or create a new ringtunes folder on my sd card in my computer?

yep. there should already be some folders created

**bt224** · 01-29-2009, 02:49 PM

Put them into the existing folders. Once you are through and disconnected, when you go to each of the media types you will see at the bottom where your phone is scanning. Takes a bit, but let it finish. Your stuff will be there.
