Hello tony_gibbs10,

Formatting the card in the phone will not help the problem. Sounds like the file format of the pictures is not compatible with the phone. Check the manual for compatible picture formats and verify that they match.

You can format the card in your PC by going into my computer right clicking on the icon for the memory card and then selecting format.

Post back with any questions or comments for further assistance. Thank you for choosing Fixya!

I cannot format the memory card using my Canon Powershot SX110 IS Digital Camera. The option is greyed out in the menu and an error message saying that the card is locked is on the screen. THE CARD IS NOT...

You don't give any details about the card that is not working in your camera. I suspect it is not an SD card but an SDHC (high capacity) card. "SD" cards larger than about 1GB are actually SDHC cards. SD and SDHC cards fit the same slots, but they are slightly different electrically. Many cameras won't work with SDHC (high capacity) cards. SDHC is not backwards compatible.

If this is the case, try a card of 1GB or less. This will hold plenty of pictures, 60 times as many as the 16MB card. If you really need more space then just carry a spare 1GB card and swap when you fill the first one.

External memory card for LG kc550 won't work

I was also getting bad format error on my LG kc550. Did a little research (read the instruction book) and if you want to properly format your card to work with the phone you must insert the card into the phone then connect the phone to your computer via the USB cable supplied. Go to "My Computer" and you should see that the phone and memory card are displayed as two separate external devices, when you try to access the memory card your computer should ask you to format it. Click Ok and a Format box will come up, click Ok again and your computer will format the memory card acordingly.

Unfortunatly this resulted in my losing 4gb of space on the card, i dont know wether its based on percentage or a fixed amount the phone needs but if thats the case you will need more than 4GB for your card to be formated for your phone

kk to add music make sure you syn the phone and the cp do the data and all then put .mp3 on all the media files and see if it works. Then if that doesnt go to computor format the card and then put it in the phone. Otherwise you need new stuff.

There Are two ways to format sd card
1) by Phone : Go to Memory card option
Gallery - memory card - option - format
& ur card will be formatted

2) By pc : connect ur phone to pc or sd card reader & right click on removable disk which is your sd card's slot & select format option.
Then it will ask for custom & quick format, select one from them & ur card will be formatted
