There are several possible causes for "memory card locked", "memory card error", or "no memory card". Some include trying to use of a 4GB SDHC card with an older camera made before SDHC format came out. Others include problems with the tiny slide switch on the side of the card, or the electrical contact switch internal to the camera. The problem may also arise from simple formatting problems if the card has never been formatted in the camera (note that this will also erase the card). Troubleshooting tips for this problem may be found at this link.

My moultrie trail cam has a card lock installed. How do i get rid of this so it will take pictures

The 'lock' is on the actual card itself, not the camera. Remove the card, set the switch on the side to the unlock position, then re-insert the card.

How to get rid of protected card

Since you didn't specify the make and model of your camera I'm assuming it uses SD/SDHC cards.

SD/SDHC 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.

Samsung SL620 - - "Card Locked" message

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.

How do I get rid of "This memory card is locked"

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.

If that doesn't work, try another card.

How do you get rid of card locked message on Polaroid T830?

SD cards have a tiny slide tab on the edge of the card.

This is used to lock the card, so you can't alter the contents.

Slide the tab to unlock the card.

Memory card

It sounds like the lock switch on the SD card is in the wrong position. Take the card out and move the switch away from the locked position and re-install it.
