    I know how to install the media card itself... my problem is when I put in the new card... my themes and some apps wrer gone. Do I need to format the card... transfer stuff... I don't want to do I need to format the card in the phone onthe computer and if in the computer "how". I am trying to go to a 1gb to a 4gb... I looked on the forums for awhile and found only the tutorial on inserting the card, I had no trouble with that.
    Also, sorry if there is already an answer out there...
    Thanks for any advise.

    Apps and themes are installed to the app memory on the phone. Unless you have Aerize card loader than they won't be on the card at all.

    Here's what I would do though.
    1. Leave 1gb card in BB, hook up to PC, and copy all it's contents to your computer.
    2. Remove 1gb card from BB
    3. Put new 4gb card in
    4. Go to Options>Memory>Hit BB button> Select "format card"
    5. Hook BB back up to computer, and load all your stuff back onto it.
    6. Disconnect and pull the battery just because.

    Your new card should then be up and running.

    Just right click on the drive named BLACKBERRY and select copy, then right click
    on the C:\drive and click paste. This will make a file for file copy.

    To copy them back to the BlackBerry do the same, in reverse.
