i put some songs on my blackberry media card and then i checked the status on my phone and said all of this memory was used up but i thought i just put the songs on the media card

[Garz]

Did you enable mass storage when you transferred the songs?

[bigsamoa]

no but if i dont that wont the songs go on the phones memory not the cards?

[Garz]

no but if i dont that wont the songs go on the phones memory not the cards?

Huh??? you did not make sense...

[bigsamoa]

My bad, i meant, i didn't have the mass storage on but if i turn it on wont the songs go onto the phone's memory and not the card?

[bigsamoa]

my bb pearl says i need to turn on the mass storage to put songs in the media card, but when i turn mass storage on it says i cant use the media card is not availabe because the mass storage is on.

Did you format the media card?

[bigsamoa]

yeah and when i did i lost some memory haha what happend there?

[sunkast]

What do you mean you lost memory? Formatting a memory card should make it ready to be used with your BB.

[bigsamoa]

yeah i dunno it said i had a total space of like 980 mb then i formated it and it went down to 939. and how come when i turn on the mass storage stuff and the media card support and i drag songs in there, my memory on the STATUS keeps getting less and less

Did you format the media card?

I am new to all of this, just a quick question. I have a pearl 8130 and got a new 4GB memory card. The phone recognized the card. I went into blackberry desktop manager and did the whole Roxio media manager thing. The card showed up, moved a bunch of songs and stuff to to it. When I disconnect the usb then the phone doesn't see the card. I have to go "add" the card again and reset my wallpaper. It works fine after I add it, but will I have to do it each time I synch? That doesn't seem right. Do you think I need to format the card? I thought it was formatted when I got it..lol

If so is there an easy way to keep the stuff I have on the card or am I just out of luck and have to start over? I wonder if there is a way in Roxio that I can move it back up off the card, format the card then move it back easily since I only had selective things on the card..hmm

Oops meant to say: Media card support is On, Mass storage mode is On, Auto enable mass storage mode Yes, says Total space 3.7gb, free space 3.4 gb So I think I have the settings right.

The wallpaper yes but the card shouldn't have to be added again

When you added a new memory card did you format it? Maybe that is what I did wrong, didn't click on format via the phone so the phone doesn't see it automatically? It is weird because it works fine once I "add" it but I don't want to do that every time I connect to Blackberry desktop software.

It is a 4gb micro sdhc card

Thanks for the help.

Ya you can go to options advanced options media card. Scroll to the bottom hit the track ball then select format card

Well I formatted the card and the phone recognized it. Then went back to Desktop manager and put all the stuff back on the card. Then after disconnecting with desktop mgr, I still had to add the card on the phone. So I am not sure what the problem is on this one. Once I add the card it is fine and all my stuff is there. The problem is only when I reconnect to Desktop Mgr, then the card isn't recognized on the phone. *sigh*

Hi,
with all new memory cards do you have to format them before you download any files
