Look on the side of the SD Card. There is a little sliding tab. Slide it and try again

Hiya!
Thanks for the advice - just tried that and it still does not work!0 -
Sometimes the sliding tabs a very loose. I have had some in the past which lock themselves when you insert the card in the slot.
Has the card been formatted?
Put it in and right click on the drive, click on FORMAT0 -
Thank you! It cannot be formatted it says because it is write protected.
You are right about the switch though...it is loose!0 -
I am now totally fed up! Tried the tape method that I have read about - no joy
Tried another sd card from my camera and that is the same.
The card will work in my camera and transfer to pc but I cannot transfer anything form pc to card!!!!0 -
Has this ever worked before?
how are you connecting your card to your PC.
Maybe the card reader you are using is just a reader, and not a read/write.

It's a bit long winded I know, but as a last resort maybe you can copy the photos to your card while it is in the camera? My old Olympus camera does this, but I don't know about other makes or models.Try saying "I have under-a-pound in my wallet" and listen to people react!0

Yes, I have done it before on another memory card, doing the same actions, just transferring some photos for a digital photo frame.
I am just putting the card into the side of my laptop0 -
There is a switch on the cads, try flipping it so it is on the unlocked padlock0
