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.

SOURCE: SanDisk 2GB Memory Card write-protection

hey I just figured this one out dont know if it is a cowinkydink or what but on the adapter the big one it has a little slide you wont see it unless you look for it, its on the leftside, it says lock one way and unlock is the other. So I switched it to unlock and it seems like its downloading, I havent got the error message about the write protection yet and its still downloading, Try that and see if it works, Im gonna try mine and see in about 4 minutes. Good Luck!

SOURCE: memory card locked

On your SD card, there is a small tab near the top (similar to floppy a disks), just switch that the other way it should fix that lock error.

SOURCE: Not able to copy movies on Sony 8GB Memory Stick Pro Duo for PSP

Before you go throwing any old video file onto your PSP, make sure you have the following items:

  • The PSP. This is self-explanatory.
  • The .MP4 video files.
  • Video conversion software to convert non-MP4 files to MP4, the format the PSP reads.

SD card format ng no card

  • 1 Insert your SanDisk 8GB memory card into a card reader connected to your computer.
  • 2 Double-click "Macintosh HD" on your desktop.
  • 3 Click on the "Applications" folder, then the "Utilities" folder.
    4 Double-click "Disk Utility". Look on the left side to locate the drive that says "SanDisk.
    5 Select the capacity of the drive on the left side of the window. The capacity will state "8GB" or "8,388,608 kilobytes." Click on the "Erase" tab to format the memory card. When you see "SanDisk" listed as the device's name, the capacity will be located above. You need to select the capacity and not the device.
    6 Select the appropriate "Volume Format." Under the "Volume Format" button, select the format you wish to use. Select "Mac OS Extended" if the SanDisk 8GB will only be used on Macs, or "MS-DOS (FAT)" if you will share the card between a Mac and PC. Select "Erase" to complete the format of your SanDisk 8GB memory card.

    How do i unlock memory card for sandisk ultra 8GB?

    Hi there,

    Your sandisk memory card has a small tab on the side (usually upper left side) that can be adjusted either up or down to protect and unprotect. You can just adjust the tab in reverse to its current state unprotect it.

    Please do let me know how this goes. Thank you for using FixYa.

    My sd card is saying it has write protection and it doesn't want to download stuff

    Look for a little switch on the side of the card, Just move it to the other side and it should now be writable.
