    Hello, I am new to the blackberry community and know absolutely nothing

    Please help me.

    I have a Blackberry Curve 8330 (Sprint) that came with a Samsung Micro SD 1GB installed with the phone. I just purchased a SanDisk 16 GB Micro SD and put it in my phone by the instructions in my book that came with the device.

    Now when I connect my blackberry to my computer it isn't recognized. I can no longer use my blackberry media sync to sync my itunes with my blackberry or anything like that.

    Please help me correct this issue.

    Thank You all very much,

    Pond

    EDIT! - I also figured I'd add that my device is in mass storage mode, and the media card is installed (inserted) correctly.

    Having a card that size would be determined by your OS

    BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.0 Up to 2 GB
    BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.1 Up to 4 GB
    BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.2 Up to 4 GB
    BlackBerry Device Software 4.3.0 Up to 8 GB
    BlackBerry Device Software 4.5.0 Up to 8 GB
    BlackBerry Device Software 4.5.0.81 and later Up to 16 GB
    BlackBerry Device Software 4.6.0 and later Up to 32 GB

    Check options>about and see if your OS matches the above list.. That is the first thing I would check into. I see you are in mass storage mode, good....Just drag and drop from there...... Did you format the card by chance?

    UHOH, yep it says v4.3.0.127 I guess that means it doesn't work unless I upgrade said OS. Thanks for the links btw, It would be good to know more than nothing.

    You are correct...

    Your OS/Card combo wont work - yet. You need to upgrade or go back to the 1gig card until you feel a little more comfy with the upgrade process. Not really hard just something I recommend you feel comfy with.... The info needed to upgrade is located at the top of the 83xx forum stickies

    All the info you need to know is here.

    When you download desktop manager I recommend version 4.6 without media manager. If you like Roxio products you can get it with, I have no use for it - Mass Storage Mode works best IMO
