Just a guess, but I'm thinking the problem may lie in the format of the media. Try to format in FAT32. Also make sure that the full card is used ( don't do only 500mb or such ) FAT file system used to only allow a certain amount of space for
(F)ile (A)llocation (T)ables, and I think only a certain length of file names ( I'm thinking 8 character ), while FAT32 allows for 32 character file names, and allows for more FAT table information. I wouldn't ty NTFS if it does allow, as some portable devices do not read them, but fat and fat32 should be universal...

How to download video from youtube to micro sd

The data has to be compressed for the video to be loaded onto a micro sd card. Whatever media you have the sd card loaded in should automatically compress the file. Otherwise, you will need to convert the data to "flac". For example, a music file is found in MP3 or MP4 format. I have used a converter application for converting flac to MP3 when transferring from my sd card on my phone.
I am not sure if this will work the other way (compressing), but look up http://www.converterlite.com. It is free to download this. The site should give more detailed information for you.

Scandisk 2gb says menu when I switch on.

If you are using the sandisk 2 GB with an R4 card it is not possible. R4 cards and sandisk micro sd cards aren't compatible. Buy a Kingston 2GB micro sd card that should then work.I hope this helps you. If is does please rate me.

How do I use the SanDisk adaptor and the SanDisk 2GB microSD

Hello,

The micro card (the smaller one) can be used alone in a port that accepts (microSD ports)such as those on a Sansa c240, c250, e250 etc.
If you have a regular SD slot (larger than microSD) then you plug the micro card in the adapter and plug the whole into a regular SD slot.

Plug the card in your computer and copy paste the files. Or plug the micro card in an MP3 player that accepts it and use you music transfert software.

You only have one card (the micro SD one), which you can use in two possible slots.

Hope it helps.

Having trouble putting pictures from computer onto micro sd

It may be different depending on the phone you have, but some phones only support a certain resolution and size. For example when I take pictures with my canon digital slr, the resolution is to high to be supported by my phone, but if I take pictures from say my wifes kodak camera, which has a lower resolution and size, it works fine.

Also you may want to look at the image type you are loading. Most phones will support a jpg file but not others. There are many possibles but first thing first. Find out more about what specifically your phone supports. (i.e. File types, Screen Size and Resolution.) Then make sure you are within its limitations.

SanDisk 2GB micro SD memory stick isn't working in my laptop. I use a Sony Vaio with Vista, it has a digital camera memory stick slot, and pc adaptor slot for micro SDs. I slipped in my SanDisk memory...

Fixed it. All I needed to do was update the software drivers on my laptop. I have a sony vaio, so I looked up the software drivers they had online and downloaded them. After I installed them it worked flawlessly.

4 GB micro sd and the Sandisk Sansa e250R...

If the 4gb micro SD is a high capacity SD (it will say micro SDHC on it) your player may not be able to read SDHC cards, my sansa can't because it's the 'older version' it will read 2gb and below micro SD cards though (it sucked when I found out because I had just bought a 6gb micro SDHC)
