    Is it an SD card or an SDHC card? If it's an SDHC card, can the reader on your computer handle SDHC cards? (If the card is bigger than 2GB, it's an SDHC card, not an SD card.)

No. SD cards will work in SDHC devices but not the other way around. It's a hardware incompatibility and cannot be changed in firmware. The only solution is to get an SDHC-capable card reader.

It is possible that the card may be corrupt or damaged, you could try to get a Canon SD card and try that , I'm guessing that the camera came with a Canon SD card when it was new?. The Micro Center SD cards come with a 3 year limited warranty so try contacting them, personally I use Kingston SD cards.

That's not unusual. Try using a separate card reader...works every time.

How do you put your sandisk microSDHC card with adapter in your camera

That depends on the camera. If the camera supports Sandisk Micro, then the SD card will fit into a slot. The slot is often located near to the battery.

You will just have to push card in and camera will automatically read card.

If camera does not read the card, ensure that the camera model can support SanDisk Micro, and that it will also support card size. Older cameras do not support big memory card (eg.4Gb)

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.

Problem with reading Sandisk 4gig hc micro sd card in my computer and laptop

I guess you put the SD adapter into the card reader right out of the box? You first may have to partition/format it after unpacking it. Under WinXP I can recommend an utility "DiskPart" which you can start from the command prompt (Run... -> cmd). For further instructions (if it sounds to you to be the problem ) contact me again.

Micro sd card

To read from a Micro SD card you will need a card reader that can read MicroSD cards. If your computer doesn't have one, you can go to Office Depot and buy one. They should have a few different models. If you have the adapters for your MicroSD card to convert it to a regular SD card, they have an $8 reader on sale right now. If not, they have a $35 card reader that will read almost every memory card format.

Otherwise, you'll have to go through your digital camera's software to read it.
