Your problem is that you are not using a suitable memory card for the D90. 2Gb SD cards have read/write speeds that are much too slow to work with quality DSLR's. Let me explain. When you take a picture with the D90, the data generated first goes into a small capacity buffer memory. The purpose of the buffer is to act as a conduit to your SD memory card and retain picture data until all of the data is safely written to the SD card. If your SD card can accept data as quickly as the buffer can pass it to the SD card, there is no problem. But, If the SD card is not capable of accepting the data quickly enough, the buffer will start to fill up since data is coming in faster than it is going out. If you take pictures in quick succession with a slow SD card or if you shoot video with a slow SD card, the buffer will overflow; i.e., fill to its capacity and become incapable of accepting more data until its capacity returns as the SD card accepts the data. During that time, the camera will prevent you from taking any more still photographs. You will push the shutter release and nothing will happen. If you are shooting video, the camera will continue to work, but the sound will loose sync with the picture.

For your D90 to function properly under all conditions, you must have an SDHC card that is rated at 45Mbs or faster. When I first bought my D90 several years back, 35Mbs was the fastest card made and I had the problems I described to you above. When Sandisk brought out the Sandisk Pro card with a 45Mbs speed my problems melted away. I should also ad that 2Gb is much too low of a capacity for the D90. It will fill up very quickly if you shoot Raw or fine quality jpeg files. You need a minimum of 8Gb.

SOURCE: reformatting an SD memory cardf

You can format the card in your camera while not connected to your computer. In fact it's recommended to do so. Read your instruction book to find out how. It should be a selection available from your "menu" button when in image review mode. Select "low-level" or "full" format, not "quick" format (quick format is only good for erasing pictures).

SOURCE: sd memory card not read by computer

Reformat the card from the camera. You didn't specify camera model but every digital camera has a menu to format media.

If you don't succeed try to connect your camera to the computer and read the photos.

If that doesn't succeed either take your camera to service.

SOURCE: I bought a 2GB SD card for my Kodak EasyShare C330 Camera

Buy a 1GB card (or 2). The spec for the SD card format is going to 2GB but the Kodak C330 not compatible with 2 GB SD memory cards.

After having the same trouble, I installed a 1 gb card and it worked just fine. It appears the Kodak C330 won't recognize a 2 gb car.

Ritzpix sandisk write protected

You didn't specify the type of memory card, so I'm going to assume it's either an SD or an SDHC card.
SD and 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.

By the way, RitzPix and SanDisk are trademarks of two completely different companies. Something cannot be both a RitzPix and a SanDisk.

My memory is connected through card reader in computer, "please insert a disk into drive f:" message will be displayed so pls help me and replymust

The "table-of-contents" on the memory-stick has become corrupted.

If you have pictures on that memory-stick that you want to "rescue", search online for "file scavenger" software.

If you think that the memory-card is "empty", put the memory-card back into your camera, and tell your camera to 'FORMAT' the memory-card, i.e., to initialize it back to the "factory" settings.

My camera tells me it's full when it shouldn't be. I have a 2gb sony memory stick pro duo for my Sony Alpha 100 camera. Today, I shot about 80 photos and it said it was full, but I had just deleted all...

hi, sometimes old photos tend to stay inside due to some defect or settings. instead of deleting photos. format the card once before you start clicking the photos. formatting can be done in PC or in your camera. if this does not solve the problem. please revert back to us. thank you. sweet rascal

When i put card in camera it keeps saying reinsert card

You didn't say what camera you are using, check the specs for the camera and see if it can use a 2GB card. If the camera is not able to use that size card it will not "see" it.

Have you tried putting the card in a reader and formatting it on your computer?

If it the computer can't see it, the card may be bad.

In this case try formating the memory card. first put in the memory card to camera, turn on the camera and connect it ur computer. it will show up as removable disc under my computer. Right click on the removable disc and click on format. hopefully it should work.
