Memory card will not format

I inserted a new SanDisk Adapter microSD card into my camera and a message popped up saying the the memory card requires formatting. I pressed okay and a loading screen popped up saying it was formatting. Then it brought me back the the screen saying your memory card requires formatting. it will keep doing this over and over. I even tried an old memory card. Any idea how to fix it?

SOURCE: Won't format new memory card

Your camera is not SDHC compatible. It will only support standard SD cards. Sorry.

I hope this helps.

SOURCE: new memory card will not format

You are probably using a 4 gigabyte memory card and your camera will only support a 2 gigabyte card. Get the right card and it will format properly.

SOURCE: when i turn the camera on....it saids memory card

Use a computer with memory card reader, and read the card using a computer.

If the computer says the same and does not read the card, then the pictures inside the card are usually lost.

If computer instead does read the card, then transfer all picture on computer using the memory card reader, and format the card using complete formatting.

If you need to use the camera tonight, then buy a spare memory card.
If the camera returns same error on different card, then you may have a faulty memory card slot, but that is quite uncommon.

I have a sandisk 2gb micro sd card. I put it into my computer's card reader and it keeps saying it needs to be formatted. When I try to format it it says windows was unable to complete the format. I am...

> unable to complete the format.

The FORMAT process is trying to write data to the card, but that writing is NOT successful,
i.e., the memory on the card is damaged/defective, and so it "fails".

Responsibly recycle the card, and purchase a replacement memory-card.

I bought a SanDisk micro SDmicroSDHC adapter my camera cannot read it says needs formated have a kodakcamera

if your camera does not contain a format feature in the firmware, you must use a PC with a card reader and use it to format the SD card. You can do this by going to my computer and right clicking on the removable media then the format option.

Hello. I have installed the sandisk sd 4Gb card into the slot in my lg pop but the phone does not see it. do I nee to do something? many thanks

You may need to format the memory card first before you can use it. Refer to the packaging and documentation of the memory card, or refer to your phone's manual regarding using SD cards. You may be able to format the card while it is in your phone, or you may have to insert it into the adapter and plug it into a computer to format it. The following link has walkthroughs of both methods of formatting an SD card:

SanDisk microSD/microSDHC card not working for my computer

Hi there!!!

I can understand your issue..

When you say if you connect the card into phone and connects to the computer and gets an error message as I/O drive error then i'd say the file format in the card is not recognized by the computer.

I'd suggest you to format the card through the computer. Here is the steps :

1) Open My Computer
2) Right-clicking on Removable Disk
3) Select Format, select the checkbox for "Quick Format".

Hereby check this screen shot

How do i reformat a sandisk 2GB microSD card. keeps saying failed

Are you formatting it in a cell phone, a digital camera, or on your computer?

If you're formatting on a computer, be sure you have the microcard inserted into the adapter correctly. I would suggest you format the card in the device that you're using it in most.
