Cannot access files on the memory card.	Verify the memory card is not corrupted or damaged. Try the card in another device if possible. Ensure the memory card is formatted correctly for your device (e.g., FAT32, exFAT). Check if the memory card has a write-protection switch enabled (for SD cards).
Slow file transfer speeds.	Transfer speeds can vary based on the memory card's speed class and the device's USB port version (e.g., USB 2.0 vs. USB 3.0). Avoid running multiple demanding applications during transfer.
