SOURCE: sd memory card

Yep, most older devices don't support SDHC in 4Gb or more. My camera didn't when I got my card, and I needed a firmware update for it.

As for your computer, if you're sticking it in a memory-card reader slot, it probably doesn't support it either! =-[

Your best (and cheapest) alternative is to buy a USB card reader that supports SDHC cards. I doubt you could get a firmware update for your existing card-reader, but it's certainly worth a try anyway!

Honestly, it is most likely a defective memory card or not compatible with your camera. Sorry.

SOURCE: Cannot get pictures off of SDHC Card 4GB

Could be it only supports SD cards up to 2gb but not SDHC.

SOURCE: SanDisk 4 GB SDHC card won't work in any of my devices

I was having the same problem. It seems that older card readers (2008 and earlier) won't recognize SD cards larger than 2GB. You should first check with your PC mfg., or the card reader mfg. web site to see if there are any firmware or driver updates. If so, update the firmware and drivers and try it again. In my case it worked! Your Blackberry may need a firmware or driver update as well.

Good luck!

Memory card locked

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.

When putting a Lexar Multi-Use 16 GB SDHC memory card in my Canon Powershot A540 I get Memory Card Error message as well Card Locked message. Have tried unlocking it by the slide on side of card, is t

It's a lost cause. The A540 works with SD cards. While SDHC cards will fit into the slot, they are electronically incompatible and will not work in devices not designed for them. You need to stay with SD cards, 2GB and smaller.

I bought a brand new Sandisk 4GB memory card for my Canon PowerShot A520. The camera registers my other memory card just fine, but this card says Memory Card Error. I checked for locked position, and it is...

The 4 GB memory card is not compatible with the camera. It's a SDHC card (high capacity) and the A520 only supports SD cards. (The difference between the SD and the SDHC is similar to that of single layer and dual layer optical discs. Not all drives can handle both formats.)

Documentation for the camera is here: http://usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/digital_cameras/powershot_a_series/powershot_a520#BrochuresAndManuals .

I wish that I had better news for you.

Work with a 1 GB card but shows Error message and card locked on new 8 GB card

The SD600 works with MMC and SD cards. Your new 8GB card is actually an SDHC card. While it fits into the slot, it is electronically incompatible. You need to use SD cards, 2GB and smaller.

I bought a memory card San Disk (SDHC) 4 GB and when I put it into my Power Shot A 700 says memory card error. What can I do?

the reason you are getting the error message is because your camera is compatible with a maximum capacity of 2gb. try to have your sd card replaced to a 2gb instead.

I put a brand new SanDisk SDHC 4 GB memory card in and it says "memory card error; card is locked".

I also own an A620, but unfortunately I also learned the hard way that SDHC cards are not compatible with this camera. The A620 was designed before the newer SDHC format came out, thus although they look exactly the same, your camera will never work with these cards. Your camera uses standard SD cards (2GB or less). There are some standard 4GB SD cards, but they are very rare these days, and costly.

CANON DIGITAL IXUS 40 CAMERA

Most likely it is not compatable. The SDHC cards are a very different animal to the regular type of cards (which most cards up to 2 GB are). I wouldn't open the package until you are absolutely sure. All info I've found on your camera indicates up to 2 GB (non SDHC only) maximum.
