why does it come up write-protected after using for a while?

Please check the write protect switch on the side of the SD card. Occasionally this switch can be moved inadvertently. If this has been moved the card will show as write protected. Otherwise I suggest you contact Transcend.

Your lock button on the left hand side of the card may have been clicked. That is the only time I get that message.

Did you accidentally turn on the write protection switch? If not, then it is likely faulty and should be exchanged.

the yellow switch on left side does slide to lock it ... could have bumped it down ... to fix issue slide the slider to the top

Probably is not initialized of formatted yet. Check under Windows' "Disk Management".

I used it one time to safeguard some files. I took it out to access those files after 3 months and the flash drive is DEAD!!! Tried it on 3 computers, Nothing

I have had the same experience with other players. It is part of the copy protection to not allow files to be saved to external drives.

I put in a drive with data on it and windows wouldn't recognize it unless I formatted it first. Works fine after formatting, but I had to backup all of my data before using the drive.

No, even when overwrite is selected, after a couple of weeks the recorder gets stuck. You have to reformat the chip.

I'm not sure about deleting, but all codes can be overwritten except the default. There is a way to reset the default, but I'd need to find it again.

Same thing happened to me. It is the format you are saving the file as. I called their support and they told me the correct format. Sorry, I can't remember what is is. Give them a call and they will hook you up.

One possible problem might be your write speed. Even with a CD drive advertising write speed up to 52x, and discs saying you can write up to 52x, I had failures like this in the past. I never go above 24x anymore and taking it slow have had no failures. There should be a disc write speed setting in whichever software you are using, but it probably resets with each new disc you create.

Unfortunately - as per the other response - mine also ended up in the trash. But more for reasons of problems with the downloaded driver and conflicts with the operating system. Over time the printing speed became worse and worse, and no matter how many times I deleted and re-installed drivers, there was always a conflict. Spent way to many hours trying to problem solve and finally lost patience - trash.

There should be a little switch-like thing on the adapter itself. When pushed one way it is write-protected, when it is pushed to the opposite end it should be open.

I don't use mine anymore because it was replacing my passwords with odd letters and symbols. Most of them are not correct anymore. Make sure you write down all your passwords and usernames.

sorry unknown,, i did use it a few times without a problem but that was with older windows versions. You should contact the seller. I know its a great product.

Not so much. The quote and double quote are burried behind a function key. Not completely unusable, but it interupts the flow.

It is formatted in a different format, and the rest of your system has to support that, as does your operating system. So the answer is if your computer is relatively new, probably.If it's old, or your operating system isn't at least 7, forget it.

Continously overwrites.... U should never have to reformat.... Use class 10... Largest u can
