Its 2024 and I am still grateful this video exists! I waited long enough that my hoarded PowerShot SD630 has come back into style and I couldn't figure out why no matter what card I tried, it always said CARD LOCKED and/or MEMORY CARD ERROR. This video is the ONLY resource that ever dared to explain that anything over a 2gb memory card wouldn't work. $14 later, and I'm ready to be a cool kid at the club this weekend
Hey I also have cannon powershot SD630, can you please tell me where did you get the 2gb SD card??
YOU HAVE SAVED MY LIFE! I HAD BEEN LOOKING ALL DAY HOW TO GET MY DRIVERS BACK BECAUSE THE CAMERA KEPT DISPLAYING "ERROR". YOU ARE A LIFESAVER!
Wow!!! You are the camera guru in my book. I have an older Cannon Power Shot SX 40HS. I have had it about 6 years. One day it displayed the msg "memory card error" I was stumped..Long story short went to Best Buy purchased a memory card thinking this one was pretty old 8GB speed 8 and now seeing they are up to 16 GB. I thought okay this must be the problem. To my dismay it did not work. (Now I know why) I watched your video for memory cards with the formatting and toothpick and I was pleasantly surprised it fixed the issue. Thank you so much you saved me alot of money. Your awesome!
I loved it, I was one of the ones at the end...poking around in the camera fixed it....I am so happy I could cry...my photos was from my trip to Haiti and I thought I lost them for good....BIG THANK YOU....going to your website now...
Thank you so very much; I was ready to order another memory card, but it just needed to be formatted. I would never have known or been able to fix it without your very clear explanation and instructions!
Thanks bud. Just recovered 1000 pics simply sliding the lock toggle back and forth. Can't believe Nikon service rep couldn't tell me that. In fact he said a 3rd party photo service could probably do i at significant cost. Thanks again
thank u hero! just saved my life got all my Christmas holiday snaps back! took it to a camera shop and the guy was a 100% fool and said it was unrecoverable! thanks dude
+Andrew Paterson Bet he tried to sell you a camera too ;)
ikr
You need Google Photos in your life.
Mines a few days ago started randomly saying "insufficient memory" when I barely had anything but 15 photos on a 4GB SD. After reformatting (which I didn't know one had to do with any camera) it's back to normal. And YOU SIR just saved me money! Thank you very much for posting this video!
Amazing! Fixed my card in 10 seconds, I had no idea there was a lock switch! Thank you so much!
same
1:22-When I watched this part of the video, I looked and noticed my Canon G7x's memory card was locked because the little white lock, so I moved it up, and it worked! Yay! Thank you so much for this video! Now I can start making videos with my favorite camera again. :)
God bless you man , you saved my NextUp with the tape trick.
Thanks Clear my some problem
Thank you, I've searched online since Sunday with no luck after an SD card broke in my Rioch GRII. Now the tape option has worked a treat. All the very best.
Thank you. Saved me having to buy a new SD Card. You're a legend!
YEH!! After 10 years and not being able to use the removeable sd card function of my new and never used JVC GZ-MG20U camcorder ( I was only able to record to the built in hard drive - camera could never find the SDHC card I would install ) anyway, I found some "OLD" micro sd 2 gb cards and the camera finally found that I had an sd card installed and formatted them!!!!!!!! Even though the manual said to use SDHC & 4-128gb and 10 class!!!!!! For some reason the "OLD card was found. Now I'm on my way to search for "OLD sd or microsd cards that's aren't HC and a 10 class!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart and you are truly a life (camera) saver!!!
YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!My phone SD card had not been working for the past few weeks on my new phone and I was about to go buy a new card....I used a zip tie to clean the slot and watched all the gunk start to fall out!Thanks for helping people(for free)and saving me money and a trip to walmart!LOL....did I mention your the man?Thanks again!
thank u too hero u saved my life, i had this camera for 6 months and could not figure out why sd card was saying card locked, card error, and no memory card. Smart Guy.
Thanks so much you saved me some bucks,
My camera was saying “no memory card”
Thankfully I had all my pictures backed up.
I formatted the memory card and now my camera finds it.
Bless you! My son is SOOOO happy to have his camera back!
Had the "card locked!" error happen to me when we were about to take a picture with a large donor. Really embarrassing! Your video helped me easily fix this. Thank you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was going insane as to why my memory card wasn't working and I figured it out watching this video.
Virtual hug. I tried the tooth pick before and nothing but you explained where to poke it and I felt the thing moving. I put my new card in again and it worked. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you. This video is a great public service. I would suggest that everyone that buys a camera that used a memory card view this video before you use the camera. Best regards, Richard...
Thank you so much for this simple information showing me how to unlock my camera memory card. Thought I'd have to buy a new one. What would we do without experts like you.
Brilliant ! The tape solution saved me from a 100 USD repair cost. Thanks a lot !
Man you awasome I was about to throw my camara away because I had the card locked problem but you came along and saved the day!
I just wanted to let you know this video was very well done. Easy to understand. I only needed to watch up to #2 to figure out the error. I am using a newer SDHC card and I had to borrow my friend's Cybershot SD600 and the memory card is just incompatible. My trip to California and Disneyland will be forever captured. Thank you sir or perhaps ma'am with very manly voice and fingers.
Thank you SOOO much for this helpful video! You saved my pictures from a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Argentina and Brazil. I was able to fix my "memory card error" in seconds! Thank you thank you thank you!
TY! This fixed my "memory card error" problem..and two days before my son's first day of school :)
You just saved my life...LOL!! Thank you for your tips. As savvy as i thought was with technology "in general" I didn't think that "card lock" feature would create such a headache for me. Thank you again.
You are a hero. The one before the last tip worked for me. I put solitape on the lock thing and the camera no longer shows the card locked error. Thank you so much!!!
This is the most headache relieving video I've ever watched. You explained it so simply and step-by-step, even I the world's biggest tech imbecile could get it! Thank you so so so SO much for making this video :'D
basically his explanation was buy proper sd card.
I tried formatting my card for the camera using my computer and I failed so many times, then I see your video saying that there is a "format" function inside the camera, great... it took me 1 min to format the card, thanks.
thank you man! that was really helpful ! : D It's so rare to fins actual helpful tutorials on yt !
Ok.....let me start off by saying... I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE FREAKING LOVE YOU!!! LOL Ok, I looked everywhere for a fix for my 3DS! (Which is a portable game system, not a camera!) Even Nintendo couldn't help me!!! Everyone kept telling me about the lock switch....I KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS CRAP THAN THE PEOPLE WHO KEPT SUGGESTING IT!! I knew it was not my sd card! No matter what I told them, the sd card was the problem in their opinion! After watching your video....I was looking inside the slot and realized it was no longer triggering the switch. It took me a while, but with a combination of tinkering with it, with the toothpick and some tape on the card itself, IT FINALLY WORKED!!!!!! All of the products I had purchased and downloaded are saved thanks to you!!! Thank you sooooooo much! Looks like I will be redirecting others with the same problem this way. :) Peace & Love
+Amanda Alford (Bo Aries) Forgot to mention, if this had not of worked, I would not of been able to transfer my account in any way. So much money would have been lost. My game system would of became useless. Sorry for the long post..... just really thankful for this fix. :)
thank you! i was baffled on why my older camera wasnt working! i knew that the amount of memory was different than before!
THANKS A MILLION! My 8gb memory card was taking a dump...it all of a sudden was showing a picture capacity of only18...I just reformatted like you showed and now I'm back up to 9000 pictures capacity....Thanks!
I just bought a GoPro HERO2 from Craigslist today on 5/5/13 and I noticed it said NO SD. I was like $*it man!!! I saw your video and when you spoke about about the tiny white lever on the side of the Mem, card I says to myself: “I've ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT THAT'S THERE FOR!” I was afraid to break it boss. Anyhoo, thanks a million man, you Sir, are a genius! my project for mañana is SAVED! Happy Cinco de Mayonnaise!
Thank you so much! I have a Nikon Coolpix A10, and had to buy a new SD card. I found a pkg. w/ a disc, plus a real little disc. I didn't have a clue what to do with that tiny disc until YOU just mentioned about inserting it into the reg. disc. It works!!! OMG! I'll know next time, thank you again!
Thank you soooooo much!! I used the format option for my 2004 Canon and that did the trick, you saved me money, time and frustration. thank you!
my hp camera with an SD card was locked, played with it for 2 hrs then found this, 2 minutes and card on locked, many thanks.
You are the Shit!!! I was all upset thinking I lost all of my grandson's pics from the last 5 years...who woulda thought a tiny little pin in the wrong position was the problem?? Thanks so much...
Thank you for the card unlock advice it was in the unlock position but needed reset by sliding in lock position and unlock position again making sure it was slid right to the end, and worked like a charm Thanks!
Thank you!!!! I didn't even realise that there was a switch on the sd
Just wanted top say thank you! Was able to solve the issue that I had with my SDHC card! Appreciate you sharing the knowledge! :)
Thank you! My SD has been locked and this video helped me fix it :D
Absolutely great, thanks a lot for your post. I have recovered 4Gb of corrupted photos and video clips of my son and his friends. Good luck and Merry Xmas to you and your family!
You make a lot of people happy, do you know that!? :)
My card suddenly just said there was an error in a black screen! Just geting back from a vacation takin a lot of pictures and videos... I got really down.
I also thought about that I am going abroad again in a week - god forbid it happens again when I'm travelling, what disasters that would be for me!? :(
Instead of waiting for someone to help I searched the net and there you where :)
Many different ways to try to recover made me feel better.
In my case (we tried the slot / reader in the laptop, it did nothing for us) it actually worked to just connect the camera to my laptop. In the explorer on my computer, there they where and I could safely put them on my harddrive :D
Now I'll follow your advice, to formate every now and then when erasing.
Thanks a lot
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for this video! I learned so much and it answered so many questions and problems that I have been having. Much appreciated!
I was one of those 30% Big Dummies... thank YOU So-oooo MUCH.
Out of all the videos I searched this was the MOST helpful, thanks for going through a checklist of problems. I'm an idiot who bought an sd card with the adapter...and didnt insert the sd into the adapter haha I was going crazy, thanks again!
Nathalie Lopez Hi NathalieYou're not the only one!!!!!!Carol (fellow numpty)
Thank you so much! Such a simple fix. You are amazing!
WOW you saved my problem in less then 2 minutes. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the information, it took until the section on using a non metalic item (toothpick) to slide along the
card slot in the camera (cannon Sure Shot SX 120). After doing this the cards worked again and photos were recoverable.
Great instruction you tube.
man you really saved my day it totally worked
Amazing thank you so much Both of my sim cards are unlocked !!
Love Your Work !!
Thanks man it really helped when i was about to give up :)
Thank you soooo much! Just about lost my sanity until I found you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Absolutely brilliant video! You are a life saver! You had mutliple answers to my questions regarding memory card error and recovering the images! And it was awesome to see at 6minutes 30 seconds the link to the freeware to recover the images of the sd card. Thank you and Bravo!
I have to give you a tip in return, if you have not attended a Joel Bauer seminar in LA, you have to look into it,tix are $2500-$4000 well worth it for the two days, I happen to have an extra tix. He only uses canon,Ciao
Omg!!! Thanks I fixed my camera at 4:16
You are appreciated sir
You saved my trip! 💪🏻 Thank you so much !
I'm having trouble. I'm using a Dane-Elec Mirco SD Adapter for my 16GB SanDisk Mirco SD on my Nikon Coolpix L105. Every time I turn the camera on it reads, "This Card cannot be used". But when I use the 8GB SanDisk Mirco SD it works without a problem. What am I doing wrong?
Thankyou so much!You fixed my camera with your other vid and now you fixed my memory card!!!Big sub and like for you!
Thanks a lot man you saved my life and my youtube channel!You're now like a hero!!!!
THANK YOU! You are SOOOO appreciated. I had no idea what was going on.
Thank you for this video! You relieved much stress about my new camera. Didn’t realize the small 32 gig disk went into the adapter. DUH!
I referred to the PowerShot Canon 520 manual to format a new memory card but receive "Memory card error" message. The lock is not on, and I am using a 2GB memory card, the exact same card as I am currently using in the camera with no problem. The only visible difference between the new card and the one currently in use is that the slide lock on the old card is white and on the new card it is gold. Any suggestions?
Thank you so much it was last minute and I didn't know how to fix my camera but luckily I saw your video. I'm going to subscribe because my camera is fixed
Thank you very much! i hade a lot of videos i needed on this memory card and i was afraid i would have to film them all again!
The lock/unlock switch trick inside the slot worked like a charm, I can now click my sd card in so problem solved, thank you for your very informative video!
I have a canon PowerShot SX20, and the toothpick idea worked for me. Then I was able to format my cards. Thank you so much!
my camera was telling me i had no space, all i had to do was format it, thank you
the lock trick worked! Thank you!
Patti
thanks so much! u helped me free my micro-sd card from write-protect!
Thank you so much! This was extremely helpful!
Thanks a lot, that was very helpful. Apparently I was suppose to format the card! After doing that it worked just fine👍👍
This was extremely helpful thank you for this wonderful video. :) I bought a larger sd card for my mothers old camera and it kept giving me the error message and saying my card was locked when it wasn't, and it tunred out it was an sd hd card in an older camera problem.
Thanks to this amazing video I'm finally able to use my card reader again.
Thank you so much,it was locked from the side button. All fixed now.

Thank you so much! I was using 8GB and 128GB in my camera and thought the SD cards were faulty, I have one 2GB SD card that worked

I will forever be grateful this video exist - this just helped Me In 2024 .. You’re getting a like and I’m subscribing ! I’m saving this video forsure lol .
Thank you, Formatting my card made it work.
Thanks for the informative video!
I thought you would describe a way to save cards that for strange reasons stop being recognized by the OS.
No physical damage, the card just decided to stop working.
No software will fix a card that can't be seen in the computer! How does one go about this? Thank you!
So funny, I fixed my problem in seconds. I thought "Well my card is in the unlocked position", but moved it back and forth manually like you said, and voila! It worked! I was tickled, just bought the card two months ago, I am glad I saw your video before I threw it away. Also, I have never formatted any of my cards, duh, thank you so much, I was glued to your video! PS Do you know anything about laptops?!! hehe
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! im on vacation and my card said "card error" and i almost cried lol
hey..that was great. Thank you so much...:D I tried like so many methods to solve the memory card lock problem but nothing worked out ....
P.S. #Fix 4 worked in my case..Tysm ..XOXO :)
Thank you so much! My card is now unlocked and man that was easy. Thank you, again!
This helped me alot thank you I had an older camera and I bought a 64 gb card with adapter and it just kept saying card error so now I know why.
You really helped. Ordering the 2GB card right now
Thank u for your videos, my camera card locked on me & I didn't know what to do!! THANK U SO MUCH!
Thanks so much!! Never noticed that little switch before :)
Thank you!
My plastic notch that unlock the sd card fell off, but now it work again!
I couldn't find cellophane though, and electric tape was too thick. I used a little post-it that I teared and a spot of crazy glue on the post-it glue did the charm!
thanks for posting the video, never knew about reformatting my sd card it worked and now im able to make my next youtube video :)
Wow, who knew SD cards had locks? Thanks so much, this was very helpful!
The humble tape worked for my Sony Nex-3 camera that didn`t recognise any SD card. Much obliged!
You Vid helped. Was getting SD card error which as suggested by you turned out to be late modal card in older camera. Thanks
