What does it mean if internal memory is full? cannot take pictures. changed memory card but still says internal memory is full polaroid t737 digital camera

It means that the camera's internal (built-in) memory is full and cannot hold any more pictures. If you want to take more pictures, erase some of them first (make sure you download them to a computer first if you want to keep them). Alternatively, if your camera takes a memory card, put one in.

To get the memory card to work you must first get rid of the pictures stored in the internal memory. With no card in the camera, go into the menu and find "format"...follow the on-screen instructions.

The specs on this camera say that it has an external charger. Sometimes the usb cord will also charge the camera, but not all the time (depends on manufacturer). You will have to contact Polaroid, most likely, unless you can find a generic charger at Best Buy, etc.
Here is some information about the internal charger of the camera from redpowers.com:
The Lifespan of the Polaroid T737 Battery The life of a rechargeable battery for Polaroid T737 Digital Camera operating under normal conditions is generally between 500 to 800 charge-discharge cycles.
This translates into one and a half to three years of battery life for the average user. As the T737 battery begins to die, the user will notice a decline in the running time of the battery. When a battery that originally operated the device for two hours is only supplying the user with an hour's worth of use, it's time for a new Polaroid T737 replacement battery.
Is it Possible to Upgrade the Digital Camera Battery to a Newer Chemistry? NiCad, NiMH and Li-Ion are all fundamentally different from one another and cannot be substituted unless the Digital Camera has been pre-configured from the factory to accept more than one type of rechargeable battery technology. The difference between them stems from the fact that each type requires a different charging pattern to be properly recharged. Therefore, the Polaroid T737 Digital Camera internal charger must be properly configured to handle a given type of rechargeable battery.

They didn't explain how to configure, but it should be in the software menu of the camera.

I found batteries for this camera on google, but couldn't find a charger. Looks like if you have the right type of battery, the internal charger (through the usb port) will work.
Good luck, thanks for using FixYa, and hope this helps.

Sounds like the internal memory has failed.

I would check with Polaroid about repairing it. An alternative would be to try installing a memory card. If it works with a memory card, then the internal chip is definitely the problem.

See if a friend has a camera that uses a similar memory card and just borrow it for a few minutes to test.

Greetings,

I would take out the SD memory card and use it with a card reader like this one: http://bit.ly/5fruhB . You simply take out the SD memory card and put it in the card reader. Then put the usb end of the card reader into your computer and download the pictures that way.I also recommend that you download Picasa, a free photo organizer/editor for your pictures: http://bit.ly/5f6HEt This way you bypass the lousy Polaroid software altogether. Hope that was helpful,
Take Care,

If there are no pictures in the internal memory that you want to save, then remove your memory card, go into the menu and scroll to "format" and follow the on-screen instructions.

You need to format the SD card before it will be used by the camera. Formatting instructions are in the manual.

Try connecting one of the cameras with the card to your computer and see if there's anything on it. If yes, back it up. If no, format the card and use it with only one camera. If both cameras write data to the card, it may make it unreadable to each one individually and you will just have to format it again. The card may also not be compatible with one or both cameras.

Take the SD memory card out of the camera and move the small lock switch to the opposite position. That should unlock the card.

you need to buy an sd card that holds memory. most cameras don't have a lot of internal memory.
