Everytime i turn it off or on, or try connecting my phone to the computer it says damaged memory card and tries to format it. So i took it out before it deleted all of my stuff. Do you have any ideas on how to fix it?

Hello adb9382,

 

In such a situation, I would recommend using a card reader for the PC to read the memory card. That way, you can transfer your media to the PC and you won't lose it. After that, reformat the card as the PC prompts you to. Finally, you can re-insert the card to the PC & copy your media back to the memory card.

 

Hope this helps...
