Question:

memory card reader messed up?

I have a Mac computer,i just bought a Targus memory card reader from Wal-Mart.When i plug it into my mac a folder comes up that says No Name i have a 2GB memory card that i use for my cell phone,the Samsung Delve.when i click on the folder and things pop that say My ImagesMy Videos everything usual,but when i try to drag a pic into My Images it says it cant be modified,wtf? Please help.

Answer:

I believe that memory cards for mobile phones like the memory cards for digital cameras, require 'picture data' to be associated with each picture the enable the device (Phone or Camera) to handle the pictures in the phone or camera for displaying purposes. The picture files that you are trying to transfer to the memory card would not have that 'picture data' and therefore the phone or digital camera would not be able to handle those pictures. These phone and digital camera memory cards are I believe distinctly different to a Flash Memory stick which acts more like a Floppy Disk.
