If you have a card reader use that.
If not Connect over active sync and then "Explore" the phone and browser to the storage card and copy the files to your desktop.
You could also use an app like Card Export to speed up this process.

Help - replaced micro sd card

Hi there,
I just replaced my microsd card as the first one I had died a death. I've copied all the files over from the old one (backups - we love you!) but the phone is seeing the new card as Storage Card2 and thus none of the apps can see their data files and the apps installed on the old card won't work! Is there any way to make the Kaiser see the new card as the old one?
Thanks
Usually that happens when you save your IE cache to your SD card or something similar like email attatchments. When you remove you SD card it creates a folder on your phone and names it storage card. The easiest way to fix it would be to remove the SD card again and then delete the file called Storage card and then shut your phone off and put the SD card back in and reboot. It will then move the IE cache or whatever caused the problem back to the SD card and will only see 1 storage card again.
This is likely to be a recurring issue, though. If the SD card is put to sleep, it won't wake up quickly enough for apps that are writing to it. This is typically an issue when you're directing mail and/or attachments to the card rather than memory. Unless you really need to (due to space), it's easier to avoid the issue and just keep them on the device.

Card Corrupted

All the music files on my card have been corrupted. I tried to use StorageTools to repair it but it keeps stalling. I'd rather not have to reformat it because it would take forever to load all the songs again with the USB 1 connection.
I have had luck with Pocket Mechanic Professional. It can recover bad sectors. Also, SK Tools supposedly also can scan & recover. Otherwise you can do a Google search for SD Card recovery tools & if you have a card reader you can do it through the PC.
If this is something that keeps happening though, a format is your best bet.
Don't have an SDHC compatible reader but I just ordered one. Just hope it works in XP.
It happened to me few days ago. I am also using SDHC @ 4GB. I am using it as a storage card (through SoftickCard Export II). with this software I do not need to pull out my SD card which is a very tedious to do. Also because I do not have the compatible card reader for SDHC.
To recovery corrupted file, I bought this software called Data Doctor Recovery for Removable Media. It is a fantastic tool which can help you to recover deleted or corrupted file on your thumb drive, storage card (anything removable).
Why not give a try to both software...
I already formatted it. Tried pocket mechanic took me an hour and didn't fix it. Waiting for card reader to come so I can reload it faster. I'm just wondering what caused it and afraid it might happen again.
Sorry, guess I should've mentioned that depending on the size of the card & the amount of data that PMP can take a few hours to recover sd cards.
It worked for me, but I did it as I slept & it took about 4 hours.

Getting a bigger storage card

Santa is bringing me a 16GB card for my AT&T Tilt (HTC 8925 WinMo 6.1). I'm currently using an 8GB card, and nearly all of my programs are installed to it. I have spent hours...no...DAYS getting my phone how I want it, so I'm understandably nervous about the prospect of changing cards.
Should I just copy the 8GB card onto the 16GB card, or should I instead do a hard reset bloatware removal and start from scratch. Now that I'm a little more experienced, it shouldn't take as long to install everything.
If anybody has advice, I'd be glad to hear from ya. Not long ago, I copied my own Garmin Mobile XT card to my 8GB card (with a few little hacks). I know Garmin won't work if I copy the 8GB card to the 16 GB card due to the piracy protection that uniquely identifies the storage card, but the other programs should transfer okay, right?
Thanks in advance.
If you use your PC to move everything off of the 8GB to the 16GB, there should be absolutely no problem (unless certain files just won't move) with, of course, the exception of programs that are secured. However, I can't think of any other programs that would give you trouble.
I did the same when I upgraded from 1 gig card to 8. I copied all the files to a folder on PC, turned off phone, switched to the 8 gig card and then copied old files back to new card. As long you don't erase all the old info from the 8 gig and just copy and paste to the 16 gig, you should have no probs.

Transferring Data & Apps from old memory card to new memory card

Hi,
Sorry - I wasn't sure which forum was the best for this post...
I have a HTC Tytn II and have just bought an 8GB Micro SDHC card, and I'm about to replace the existing 1GB card in my phone now.
The only tutorial that seemed relevant is: http://www.pocketpccentral.net/help/tutorials/sd_to_sd.htm.
I have some questions:
How do I do it?
Will I be able to copy not just 'data' but 'apps' that have been installed on the card?
Any caveats? Warnings? Gotchas?
I have a card reader in my laptop - but it may be too old for SDHC cards... I'll find out soon.
You help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Prembo.
???
As far as I know...Drag and drop....see what didn't in stall and see what did...apps??? hmmm..Active sync should do the trick...pm me if you still need help.
Peace
Mike
You will need a flash memory reader/writer for the PC that is SDHC compliant. The 1GB card is not HC but the 8GB card is HC. Older reader/writers are not HC capable. You will then copy the 1gb card to the PC and then copy from the PC to the 8BG card. I don't think the Tilt will even be aware of the switch.
Edit: I just read Mike's reply above and yes, that will work too. Sooner or later you are going to need a reader/writer anyway though.

A card reader will transfer data faster then device to pc....a reader will work fine too...remember...to use active sync...if you have it ...or mobile device center.
Peace
Mike
Thanks guys,
Will let you know how I go. Trying to copy via ActiveSync.
PS. My card reader on my laptop didn't like the micro SDHC :-(
you can just copy everything over from one card to the next. i usually keep a backup of my 4gb card on my computer, and also carry another backup card with me.
haven't tried it the activesync way though. i use a sdhc card reader. i dont' know if the activesync way will convert files that shouldn't be converted or what not.
I did a drag and drop, but my home computer was locking up (while synced), I tried using the reader on my work computer, but it kept locking up. (same situation, bought a 8gb from worst buy for $29 !!!!)
so, now, my home computer will no longer sync, and i swapped back to my 2gb card (at least my work computer will still sync), I will work on the home computer syncing issues when I get home, but so far for me, the 8gb card has been a disaster.

8GB Micro SD Card

Hi all
when i bye my viva i used a 1GB micro sd card which was too slow
last week i bought a new one. a Toshiba 8GB Class 4 Micro SD.
its a class 4 micro SD but the speed is the same as my last 1GB MSD.
it takes so long time to copy heavy files using active sync, whats wrong? is that viva's problem? what should i do?
I'll be thankful for any help.
use the Disk Drive mode or use a card reader instead.
no diffrent disk drive mode is the same as active sync.
i used disk drive mode and copy a file to micro sd, it shows 460 kbps!!
a class 4 micro sd card should has at least 4 MBps write speed
and using a memory reader is hard cus everytime that i want to copy
a file i shoud turn off the phone remove the battery and ...
copy small chunks
Don't try to copy GBs together.. break the data into small peaces say 100MB..to copy..
My sandisk card halts copying if i try to copy a big bunch of data in one shot..
Give a try...
maybe the error not with ur sd card ... maybe with the usb port that u using ... use another port hehe try it

The card is class 4.
But the Touch Viva only supports upto class 2. So u will get class 2 speed nonetheless... :-(
sunk8 is right, it isn't a problem with your memory card. Even if you use it in disk drive mode, it's finally comes down to the lowest speed in the chain which is your phone.
Thanks to all
