My Kodak EasyShare DX4530 is not formatting. I got a new memory card for it and it isnt formatting to it, it trys to but just keeps doing the same thing over and over, "memory card needs formatting." over and over it says it is formatting then goes right back to saying that it needs formatting. is there a way i can set it up to format it?

Well, in that case, make sure you have backup of the images on them, then format them.

I hope you understand that formatting the memory card completely erases it so you won't "see all my pictures again".

Look at your memory card. 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.

8MB or 8GB? If it's actually an 8MB card, you'll be able to put maybe two or three pictures on it, so I'll assume it's an 8GB card.

The DX4530 is designed to work with SD cards. Your 8GB card is actually an SDHC card. While SDHC cards will fit into SD devices, there are electronic difference that prevent them from working there. SD cards will work in SDHC devices but not the other way around.

You need to use SD cards, 2GB and smaller.

The DX4530 works with MMC and SD cards. While your SDHC card fits into the slot, it is electronically incompatible and will not work. You need to use MMC or SD cards, 2GB and smaller.

If your using more than 2GB of SD card or if yous using the SDHC card it will not format the Memory card.

Try to used the recommended Memory card 2GB or 1GB SD card It will reformat your card. Too Much or too High SD card is not compatible on DX camera series

Press the menu button, go to setup, go to storage, select memory card, select format. You're done.

Put the card in the slot, turn the camera on and go to menu. Under storage, select what you want to format. Either internal, of externel (the memory card)

change the card or try formatting it through a cardreader on your pc

I don't remember about the DX4530 but the older Kodak SD cameras were designed before the enhanced capacity SD cards were invented.   They don't know how to deal with the capacity above 2GB.
I know my LS753 doesn't know how to deal with the larger cards, I'm pretty sure that the 4530 came around the same time.
