I was trying to upload pictures from a Olympus VG-110 micro sd flash drive. and i couldn't see the files saved in it.. why is this happening? Then we put the back the disk in the digicam and after turning it on, the screen shows, WRITE PROTECT Second, will reformatting the micro sd flash drives means that all our pictures will be deleted?

The VG-110 uses SD/SDHC cards, which 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.

Yes. Formatting the card is the best way to clear the card for further use, AFTER you transfer all the pictures to your computer.

The Instruction Manual for the Olympus VG-110 / D-700 Digital Camera can be downloaded online here:

http://www.olympusamerica.com/files/oima_cckb/VG-110_D-700_Instruction_Manual_EN.pdf

On page 53 there is a section on Error Messages. The Write Protect message indicates that the memory card write-protect switch is set to the "LOCK" position. You will need to remove your memnory card and move the swith to the 'UNLOCKED' position.

See Pages 12 and 58 for illlustrations.

Hello,

You can format your micro-SD Card using a software which you can download by clicking this link. I uploaded it to my FTP site for you and it will be there for a limited time. Download that file and save it to your PC. Then unzip that ".zip" file.

If you format micro SD card connecting it to your PC via USB port, it may not ask for password. (I think your phone asks password to format.)

To format your micro-sd card:

- First plug in your micro-sd card into you PC.

- Run the downloaded "HPUSBFW_2.2.3_MASTER.exe" file.

- In the program menu window, select the device (your memory card).

- Select FAT32 as file system,

- Confirm that all the format options unchecked. (Uncheck the quick format option)

- And click the "Start" button to begin formatting.


Hope this helps you.

Can you describe in more detail what you are trying to do, step by step, and how the process is failing?

I have uploaded and downloaded pictures from my micro-SD card, both while it is in the phone, using a USB cable and setting the phone to "Menu | Settings & Tools | Tools | USB Mass Storage". Then the phone and the micro-SD card appear on my (Windows) computer as a removable drive, and I can just copy files in either direction.

I am also able to remove the micro-SD card, and plug it into an SD-card slot on my computer (with a micro-to-SD card adapter), and it mounts as a removable drive that way, too.

Note: if you have the micro-SD card in the phone, and you want the pictures you take to be stored on there so you can download them in one of the ways I've described above, then be sure to go into "Menu | Settings & Tools | 9. Memory | 1. Save Options | 1. Pictures" and set this option to "Card Memory", or else your pictures will get saved in the camera internal memory, and not on the card. This may be your problem if you are not seeing the pictures you expect on your memory card when you look for them. If you take Videos and/or Sounds, you might want to set those "Save Option" to the Card Memory, too.

You have to drag and drop only the MP3 files into the music folder. If you have them organized and in folder by artist, drag only the MP3s into the card's Music folder.
