Troubleshooting Memory Stick Media
Why can’t I open my image files?
You may need to reformat your Memory Stick® media.
1 Copy the data from the Memory Stick media onto your computer’s hard disk
to save data or images.
2 Format the Memory Stick media using Memory Stick Formatter software
preinstalled on your computer. For instructions about formatting a Memory
Stick media, see “Formatting Memory Stick media.”
Why can’t I save music files onto my Memory Stick media?
❑ Only MagicGate Memory Stick media can be used with copyright protected
data, such as music.
❑ Copyright protected music cannot be checked out to any Memory Stick
media other than MG Memory Stick media.
❑ Recorded music is limited to private use only. Using recorded music for any
other purpose requires permission of the copyright holders.
❑ Sony is not responsible for music files that cannot be recorded from a CD or
downloaded from other sources.
Can I copy images from a digital video camera using Memory Stick media?
Yes, and you can view video clips that you have recorded with Memory Stick
media-compatible video camera recorders.
How do I prevent damage to the Memory Stick media?
❑ Do not use the media in locations that are subject to static electricity or
electrical noise.
❑ Do not touch the media connector with your finger or metallic objects.
❑ Do not attach labels other than the supplied label to a media.
Formatting Memory Stick media erases all data, including music data,
previously saved to it. Before you reformat Memory Stick media, confirm
that the media does not contain files you want to keep and back up
important data.
