Card locked? I have a HP 945 but everytime i turn my camera on to take pictures, the camera says the card is locked? but the card is not on lock i tried several other cards, but all with the same problem.. Does anyone nows how to solve this problem?

Look at your memory card. SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the metal contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

The memory card in the camera has been locked. if you remove the memory card, you will see a small tab on the card and it is likely switched to the "lock" position. This can happen easily by accident if you are handling the card. Simply slide the switch on the memory card away from the lock position and you should be back in business.

Yes, but the camera has only 32M of internal memory so you won't be able to take and store more than a handful of pictures. For "real" use you'll need one or more SD cards. Make sure you get SD cards 2GB and smaller, not SDHC cards.

SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card. If the switch is already in the proper position, slide it fully the other way and then back again.

Your memory card has a lock switch, move the switch to unlock.

I JUST HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY CARD SAYING ITS LOCKED.....TAKE YOUR CARD OUT OF YOUR CAMERA AND TURN IT WHERE THE LABEL IS FACING YOU AND ON THE LEFT SIDE IS A SMALL TAB THAT IS COLORED DIFFERENTLY THEN YOUR CARD....SLIDE IT UP TO WHERE ITS NOT ON THE LOCKED SIDE....

Write Protection: There is a tab on the memory card so you will you need to remove it from the camera and change the position of this tab to "unlock" it.

Little sliding switch on the side of the SD memory card. Remove from camera, slide switch away from lock position, re-install and you should be good to go.

If the card is locked, you could the steps below:

- Turn off camera
- Remove memory card
- Take a look on the switch of the memory card itself
* If it's at the TOP = card is UNLOCKED
* If it's at the BOTTOM = card is LOCKED

- So, you just have to make sure that the switch is at the top
for the memory card to be UNLOCKED

After doing that, you just have to put back the memory card to your camera and turn on the camera. Try to check if this works.

remove the memory card out of your camera and look to the side of it.. there is a little switch on the memory card that locks the card... try that first it might not be your camera... :) good luck :)
