Answer 1

if it came from your camera...I'm not familiar wich how advanced those cameras are or if they're dslr or not but with my Nikon I can format a memory card from the camera. Have you tried doing that? and if not since you said you tried to upload photos from your comp to the card, once the card is connected to the comp  you definetly can format it from there just right click on the drive (where the card is or on the card's image) you'll find the command there in the right click menu

Hope this helped :-D

enjoy!
