....works fine on my 8100 with the latest firmware (.55), but my PC which has an internal card slot for SD cards wont accept it. Any thoughts? I wanted to be able to load music on there quicker than via the usual Roxio route.
thx in advance.

Maybe I am old school. I don't like to pull the card in and out even on my wife's pearl.
I guess you can try an external media card reader.

same here. I prefer connecting the BB to the PC and dragging files onto the SD card.

I use Blackberry MediaSync with my 8110 and a 4gb card. I think it only works with iTunes, but is much faster than Roxio OR a card slot on the PC. Just a thought....

I tried to sync several playlists from PC to BB via mediasync - more convenient (less crashes) - but MUCH slower IMO then a direct card insert into the PC.

FYI - I discovered with >4GB SDHC cards you need to download/install an windows XP patch (if that's what you're running - this is the problem) to allow it to be recognized by XP.

Here's the link:

Some Secure Digital (SD) cards do not work correctly on Windows XP-based computers

Sorry above is the KB description.. this is the download site for those that just want to get the patch (FYI - you'll need to go through the dreaded windows validation..)

Download details: Update for Windows XP (KB934428)


Hope that helps.

most PCs now has only internal SD card reader which DOES NOT SUPPORT SDHC.

Get an external reader.

Case closed.

I have a 8gig as well, but if you check the box on your BB to turn on "mass media storage" you can then find your BB as a new drive in "my computer". You then have full access to the data.

If you use the XP patch - it should recognize the 8 GB SDHC card - I have a Dell 1210 laptop with built-in media card readers - didn't recognize the 8G card until that patch was installed - seems to be a function of OS NOT the laptop.
