akai 125mb cf card only holding about 30mb. why?

well i use an 8 gb so i really never have problems,with my cf card.

i never really put the whole 8 gb to the test i think it only uses 2 gb of the card...

anyway im putting samples on a 125mb cf card.i clean out the card and load it stright from the computer .

AT ABOUT 30 MB ITS SAYING ITS FULL WHAT THE **** IS GOING ON WITH THIS.ITS 125 MB AKAI BRAND CARD AND IT WONT USE ALL THE CARD NOT EVEN HALF THERE MUST BE A REASON FOR THIS IS IT UPDATES JJOS OR WHAT...

ITS VERY FRUSHSTRATING PLEASE HELP THE MANUAL HAS NOTHING LIKE THIS IN THERE U LEARN THIS JUST MESSING WITH IT IVE DONE EVERYTHING THOUGH I DONT UNDERSTAND I HATE BEING TOLD NO BUY MY MPC....

is it somehow partitioned and 1 of it's partitions is 30 mb in size?

going back to the manual i dont know if its the cf card or mpc actually it has to be the cf card i format the card to mpc it should work im going crazy on this one

don't talk with your mouth full, homey... sorry i couldn't be of more help.

Id back it up to the computer then format it and try again.

i tried to format it...i have nothing on internal hard drive..all i do is hook up the usb via macbook theres a clean card and it says i have 123mb free i load it with samples and at about 30 mb it sayes error no more space but it shows alot more space just cant be filled thanks for the help sorry i dont spell that good to all those cool peeps maybe the cards broke or some shit anymore ideas like any internal modes that may do this...

Thats really strange.

Are you sure you are only loading sounds? Meaning what if there is a sub-folder in that group of sounds you're transferring and its getting moved by accident?

Sorry Im out of ideas

64 sounds wav and 6 samples wav chopped up in 16 pads ...but when im loading on macbook the window says i have memory mpc says i have memory i think the the cards broke or some shit i format it with mpc 1000 i press utility erase all and it formats it am i doing it right..



i got another question but dont get mad... i loaded up about 15 samples on my buddies mpc and then it said programs were full does he need to update the mpc 1000 to hold more program samples my mpc loads all of them no problem cause if he gets a new card thats bigger and that works fine and i put 30 samples on it for him and he puts it in the mpc loads it up it wont be able to load all the sample programs because it only holds so much then says programs are full i read some stuff on it but cant pin point my finger on anything why me i have hard enough time with my mpc im helping my friend but gaining knowledge please thanks

how many programs do you usually use when your messing around with a bunch does yours say they same as my buddies programs full maybe my mpc has the updates or somthing thanks everybody i think my cards broke and his mpc has the old ass first stock akai mpc 1000 .he has nothing for updates thats what hes missing i think my questions never get completed because all my shit **** up on me only black cloud over me but i wont stop one day i will.....

the card was broke ...i only have one auto save in ram and it is kb size nothing 16 sounds thats it..i dident try to load alot of programs from cf card to mpc yet i wounder if it will say programes full...thats the only thing wrong but thats the mpc 1000 i think it needs an update but i dont know which one...not my prob my mpc 1000 takes all my programs that i load.

Try putting the card in a different device that uses the same kind of card camera/video ,, see if it will hold more than 30mb in a device other than the mpc, if it does the same thing then you will know it is the card itself
