Whoa! Fix #8, blowing out the SD port, worked for me after everything else had failed on my SanDisk 256 GB card. Subscribed! Thank you!!
Brilliant, thank you so much- fixed 👍🏻
tip #4 worked! THANK you!
Thank you! This is such a helpful video
Fix 3 worked! Thanks!
I have tried all of these. Nothing has worked but great video. I've gained a lot of knowledge for the future if any memory cards are corrupted. Sad to say I've lost hundreds of photos.
Try the Disk Drill software, you might be able to recover your photos. www.cleverfiles.com/data-recovery-software.html
Thanks so much. Will give it a go. @@photographersfreedom
Thanks so much! Formatting on my computer is what worked for me!!!
Thanks Dude. Step 4 helped me out
Thanks so much for your help! Tip #4 worked like a charm.
THANK YOU!!! 🙏🏻
Taking the battery and card in and out of the camera worked! Thank you! Now to back them up on pc :)
Great to hear it. Thanks for watching. 👍
Thank you!
Thanks man
It worked for me
Formatting remove card battery and reinsert
Thanks again my teacher ❤❤❤❤
Thank you! Formatting SD card in the Camera, not at my Laptop fixed the problem with my GardePro game cam!
Fix nr 8 did it for me. Thank you so much!
#4 fixed it, thanks!
Thank you, sir! I had a problem with a mini SD. An error message popped up on my car dash cam saying that the memory was full. This was a surprise because the dash cam erases the old data for the new. When I checked the SD on my laptop, I noticed that the name of the card changed to weird symbols, and I couldn't access the recorded videos on it. Eventually, the simplest formatting helped! Interesting fact: the system wouldn't let me format it because of the strange symbols, so I changed the name of the card to something simple.
Thankyou, number 5 the deep format seems to have worked for my Olympus TG6.
Great! 👍
Taking the battery and card in and out of the camera worked! Thank you! Now to back them up on pc :)

Thanks Barry, I tried the PC formatting tool first but that didn't work, however formatting 'in the camera' worked instantly for me! 😊
Great! 😀
I don't think this camera has the option to format the card. All my other cameras over the years did. It's an HP from around 2004.
Thanks so much ! Fixed !!!!
You are welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Fix# 11 worked for me 👍👍👍
Thank you much . I finally found out ..my camera was the problem. I have to find a new Camera
How did you find out you needed a new camera ?
thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much !!!
You're welcome. 😂😂
Thank you
If you have a non compatible SD-card due to its size, as I had, there are ways to downsize the SD card through your computer. There are vids on youtube to help you with this. This worked for me, bought a 128gb SD card for my old camera, which apparently just could have a 32gb size. Now works fine as a 32gb card, but atleast i don't have to buy a new 32gb card
my camera won’t even let me attempt to format the card in the camera. when the error comes up it doesn’t let me do anything till I take it out. I just came from your old video and tried reformatting it on my computer and that didn’t work.
Can you try another sd card in the camera? That will tell you if the camera is the issue or not.
@@photographersfreedom yeah i’ve tried and bought several. I think it is the camera, but idk how I would fix that.
Find a local camera repair shop. Did you clean the terminals on the sd card (using a dry microfibre cloth) and blow out the sd card slot? Make sure you cover all the bases before sending your camera in for repair or buying a new one.
I just bought a San disk SDXC 128gb for my power shot sd630 the manual didn’t give a specific sd card. I keep getting the error even after formatting it on my computer but it won’t allow me to format it on the actual camera.
I would think that camera will only accept much smaller capacity sd cards. From a quick Google search I just did, it seems it will only take 2GB cards.
i accidently removed sd card during formatting in phone as it was taking alot of time, i thought to format it in Windows. from that moment my sd card is not detected by any device.....upon connection nothing happens like no prompt or notification....like nothing connected. how to solve this??????????/
sometime it just some dust in the sd card slot may cause lock or unreadable, remove-install sd card multiple time to clean the contact may fix. or just camera blower. i fix my canon g12 not reading sd card (it's alway in lock mode) just simple like that
Yeah, all this information is in the video. 🙂
fix 4 wouldn't work because the error was not recognising the card. However I used another camera to format it and that fixed it.
I bought a new 256GB for my brand new Sony RX10. I fitted the card and then attempted to format it . After a couple of minutes a message came up
"Image datatbase file not ready" . I tried this several times but the camera wouldn't operate. Could it be this card is not compatible, I tried it in a fujiHS20 and images wouldnt store. Could it be that as both cameras were made at least 6 years ago that this card can only be used on recent cameras. Card sandisk 256GB SDXC UHS-1 95MB/s. Or is this new card faulty. ps Both cameras work with an old 16GB card. Thanks
I think you have answered your own question. If the 16GB card works in both cameras, then obviously, the other card is not compatible.
A quick Google search for "Sony RX10 compatible SD cards" is all you need to be sure.
I was pretty sure but the seller has stated that he has a NO RETURNS POLICY😡
THANKS👍
Formatting the new card worked! Super video👏
Great! I'm so glad it helped you. Thanks for watching.
I brought a camcorder from Amazon and when taking the SD card out and putting it back in all my files are appearing as null I’m not sure if this is an error in the camera or the SD card
Try the sd card on a computer or laptop. If you can see the files there, it might be a problem with the camcorder. If not, it's likely the sd card.
I get the camera ZV-1F as a gift i christmas and tested a memory card that I already had at home, the 128gb class 10 mini memory card from San Disk with an adapter and it went into the camera and was recognized, but only for taking photos. When I press to record videos it says to change the memory card for a memory card class 10 (which is what I used) or UH 1 or UH 2, and the digital touch button to record video appears as unavailable.
What could I do? Can you or someone help me please?
Try formatting the card in the camera. Make sure to export any images you have on it first.
I have the same problem and it won't let me format in the camera... I will try on a pc@@photographersfreedom
I tried to format it in the camera and it doesn’t let me choose the option and then when i put the sd card in my mac it’s not even showing up
It sounds like the sd card is defective to me. Do you have another device you could try it in?
@@photographersfreedom tried it on another mac and it’s still not recognizing it even in disk utility
it's still not working i did everything you said, my sd card is working properly but when i try to play a video record it;s saying card speed slow hayss what to do to fix this card
Are you trying to record a video or play back one you've already recorded? It sounds to me like the sd card is not the right one for recording video.
hi i just bought a nikon camera i think its a 2008 and i formatted a new memory card and it wony let me take pictures because it says card is full even tho i’ve js purchased it
Did you check to see what capacity SD cards are compatible with your camera? Some older cameras only take smaller capacity cards.
Hi ! Does anyone know which SD card is compatible for a Rebel T7 camera ? I keep getting the message “card cannot be accessed.”
Check out this page support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART173726
I have an cannon powershot SX IS
And i bought new sdxc 128 GB sandisk card
My camera is showing that memory card error
Please reply its urgent!
It's probably because the camera doesn't take cards of that capacity. Check the manual
Fix #12 Look up the SD Memory capacity what your camera can handle. PENTEX Optic S40 found PDF manual that's all it can handle is 1GB LOL! Its an old camera I found in a thrift store, "Memory Card Error " shows up every time. All my own memory cards are 32GB and that maybe the issue, to much memory. Going to order compatible memory cards with 1GB... See what happens & call it a day.
That's actually fix #9. You didn't watch the whole video, did you? 😉😂
@@photographersfreedom You were right! I was listening yet it went through one ear out the other as I was doing research on this Vtg PENTAX Optio Camera. Everything works, just the memory card error message. I just ordered 1GB compatible memory card, will see if it works or not. But thank you!
@@richardhenry5961did it work ?
@@danielarivera4071 Yes it did help 1GB that's all it could handle in this Vtg PENTEX Optic S40. PDF file manual helped a lot.. Thank you....
Does anyone know was sd
Card Canom PowerShot sd700 takes?
It will take 16MB sd cards and 128MB or 512MB SDC cards.
At my micro sd in some folder cant read anything and another can read every5hing How to recovery not reading data? I using Ipad
I'm not aware of any data recovery apps for iPad. You need a PC or Mac for that job.
I bought a brand new 128G micro SD card. I put it in my akaso brave 6+ camera. When I click to start taking a video, the message comes up
CARD SPEED SLOW
this is a new camera I have been using successfully using sandisk sd cards of 64G
my camera is supposed to be able to use a 128G SD card.
I have removed and replaced the fully charged battery several times, I tried reformatting the card in the camera several times, removing the SD card and re-installing it several times. i’ve tried other cards and they work..
this is a brand of card I never tried before, KRECOO
I don’t have another camera capable of using a card of 128G to test the card elsewhere
what does that message
card to slow mean.???
You need to check the speed class of your SD card. There will be a number inside of a C printed on the front of the card. If this is not a 10, then the card is likely too slow to record video with, especially if you're shooting 4K. There are other numbers on the front of the card that matter also.

I have my photo and video on my SD Card. It's showing this single file ... USBCá┴╗ not able to access the my data.
Are you trying to access it on your camera, or some other device?
Sorry All of these solutions didn't work with me ,but only one after 2 days from search but you don't referring it ,I found it in a Canon catalog, it's remove the lens and clean the golden metal on it with dry clean tissue kindly ,I do it 😉 it's perfect, thank you,I hope this works with some people ❤❤
You’re really a savior,I just cleaned as you said and it worked out thanks.
Sir my card is showing this on my SD Card: USBCá┴╗ what to do ? do you have any solution to resolve this problem...
I have never seen an error like that before.
Yeah but my camera keeps saying “this feature not available due to insufficient memory “ every time I try to share something and there not pictures on my SD card ???? Please help 😭😭😭
More information please. What camera do you have? What brand of SD card are you using? What capacity is the SD card? How old is the SD card?
Well figured out I can’t be the sd card and got scammed on a “tested” camera, sad day.
It says 'Card connot ve acessed😢
my solution was to reset the camera. the error: CARD FULL came from a camera
Thanks for sharing that solution. 🙂
My SanDisk Extreme 256GB SDXC UHS-I Class-10 just became super slow! And that's so bad and annoying!
ive tried all of them and i did buy a new card but it still doesnt work
It might be your camera that is the problem then, unfortunately. Get it looked at by a camera repair shop.
Unfortunately it didn't, it still says that card is full even after formatting it on PC, no errors, no problem with the card on PC.
It has lifetime guarantee so maybe i will just send it back to manufacturer.
you forgot one solution, fix 12 what if every SD card you use, bring up the same error message on the canon camera, they all work on another camera but not this one camera? What is the solution? throw out the camera?
I included a solution for this it's #9. Check your manual. You are obviously trying to use a card that is incompatible with your Canon camera. 🙂
Sorry, no, i am having the same problem. The cards are definitely compatible, I have used them over and over before. I have travelled with the camera, it is now reporting endless error messages and won't let you get to the menu to format the card. Same error messages over and over. Not the cards definitely the camera. Is it possible to reset the camera??
@@SeeChelleFilm there may be a way to reset the camera to factory settings. Check the camera manual. Otherwise, I suggest getting a qualified technician to look at your camera.
Some how it's in ctg storage
الرام ميشتغل لا بلكامرا ولا بلحاسبه وجرب كل الحلول مصارت
Checking the card for errors and allowing Windows to repair resulted in loss of all files.
That shouldn't happen. Did you get a prompt warning about the loss of files before the error fixing?
Nope
My camera is not saying it has an error. It’s not storing the videos.
What camera do you have?
Also, what capacity is your SD card? Video files are quite large. There simply may not be enough space for them on the card.
None of these things worked. I didn't throw mine away! I found another video that said to spray WD40 on it and it worked immediately.
I would not recommend that. I have emailed SD card manufacturers during my research for this video, and they warmed me against using any type of cleaning spray or lubricant. The card may work now, but it probably won't stay functional for long.
I do not believe that you sprayed your SD card with that solvent, WD-40.
WD stands for water dispersal
40 is the number of formulas they tried until they got the right one that would work for each designed purpose
it should actually be called WD 41, because several years ago, they reformulated it, so that it would not be flammable. You know what children all these companies think we are, and that we can’t be trusted. I have a manual for a motorcycle from the factory that says “do not drink gasoline. “
many people think that WD-40 is a lubricant. It is not a lubricant. It is a solvent, a solvent will rinse off any lubricant residue you may have on some thing that you think you are lubricating such as a door hinge
I simply don’t believe you spread that with WD-40, I think this was an attempt at humor
tried everything and nothing is working
@@peytondavenport116 buy a new SD card. There's links in the description. 🙂
It might be time for a new SD card then. 🙂
Fix number zero break the card buy a new one
😂 wait that’s fix 11

Removing during formatting is never a good idea. Try data recovery software such as DiskDrill www.cleverfiles.com/data-recovery-software.html
