So i just got a new memory card, a 2gb sanddisk and it just seems to not work. i put it in the slot and it connects fine to the phone but nothing shows up on my mac. i tried almost everything to get it to work and nothing seems to help. just wondering if anyone has any suggestions.
Do you have Mass Storage Mode enabled?
Status / Options / Media Card
Media Card Support: On
Encryption Mode: your choice
Mass Storage Mode Support: On
Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected: Prompt
Plug the BlackBerry into a USB port, answer Yes to the prompt, and the BlackBerry Media card will show up as a disk drive. Then you can drag and drop.
Did you format the card after it was installed in the BB? If not-
Go to Options, Media Card, hit Menu, Format Card. (if you have media on the card, back it up first)
so i tried that and everything went ok, so i then plug it into the computer and nothing happens, so i went into options and then media card and at the bottom of the screen it said " media card is not available because mass storage is in use". So i really don't know where to go from there any ideas?
With the BlackBerry plugged into the computer, double-click on My Computer. You will see the Media Card as a drive. You can drag and drop to/from it. The message you are getting means you can't use Media Explorer while in Mass Storage Mode. That is normal.
EDIT: Sorry, forgot you have a mac. Do whatever you do on a Mac to read a device that's just been plugged in to the USB port. The drive should show up.

My computer doesn't even read my bb but the weird thing is, is when i had my 64 mb card everything worked properly. So im really wondering what is going on. Should i should try and use a 1gb card instead of the 2 gb, maybe that would work.
