SD card doesn't work

Ok, I'm getting very frustrated. You guys are my last hope...I don't know where else to go.

I've bought an SD card like 2 years ago for my phone. It works great on my phone and my computer, but I realized it was a micro and it doesn't work on my Wii. That's alright...I went out and bought a standard 2GB SanDisk SD Card. Works great on my computer, but still doesn't work on my Wii. Alright, that's a little annoying, so I go out and return it. I use the money I get back to buy an SD card SPECIFICALLY MADE for the Wii, and when I put it in my Wii it doesn't work.

Yes, I've updated my Wii to the latest version before putting in the SD card, and yes it works on my computer. I've tried formatting it in several different ways but it still won't work. I'm definitely sure I'm putting it in right because that's the only way it will fit, and it clicks when I put it in.

I have no idea what's wrong...can someone please help? I've looked all over for a solution to my problem but no one else seems to have this problem.

You say that it doesn't work, but what exactly are you trying to make it do?

Well, by not working it gives me an error message. When I put in the SD card and go to the memory storage options in the Wii options, it says "The device inserted in the SD Card Slot can't be used."

Basically it says that for anything I try to do...the Wii Photo channel, even when trying to save stuff in Brawl. It just won't let me use it. This has happened for all cards.

What do you mean "made specifically for the Wii"? Was it made by Nintendo? If not, there are no promises. I've seen plenty of cards advertised for the Wii that clearly wouldn't work.

You should go for a card less than 2GB. There is an odd technical thing that happens at the 2GB mark which is probably what is causing the Wii to be unable to read the card. Get a 1GB card. And don't get SDHC, it needs to be plain SD.
