Okay so here is the dilemma that I am having. I recently purchased the Rebel T4i and it came with a DANE-ELEC Pro200x 16GB Class 10 SDHC memory card. I didn't know that you had to format a new memory card so I just put it in and took pictures just to see how the camera works.
About 30 pictures my camera suddenly told me that my card was Write Protected. I thought this was weird and took it out to see if maybe something had happened to the little switch but it was fine.
I took the memory card to my computer to see if it worked and it let me copy the images that were on it to my computer but I was not able to take them off of the memory card.
I tried to format the memory card on the computer and it tells me the same thing that it's write protected. Same with other cameras, they all just say the same thing.
I googled the problem and came to find that people suggested tape, but this also didn't help me.
So my question is, is there any way to save my memory card or should I just toss it? I have the pictures that were on it so I don't need to recover them. I think formatting the card would help but it won't let me do so due to the fact that it's write protected.
I look forward to any possible suggestions and hopefully someone can help me out.
Thank you.
