When I connect my phone to my laptop I can't see all files an folders ?? I search the phone on my laptop and can't see everything. I downloaded a movie Step brothers and I transferred it over to my phone and I cannot find the file. Then I put the file in a folder I can see through the phone and laptop. Still I can't see the file in that folder. Same with music. I downloaded music on my laptop. .mp3 format and I wanted to transfer it to my music folder, but when I search the phone through the laptop there is no music folder, but the music folder shows up when I search on my phone. Any suggestions ?

Hi,
I bought a Transformer and copy mp3 files to Music default folder on hard drive. Where are the other musics recognized by the Music default Player
The problem is that the player doesn't recognize/sync with the folder and i can't play that sounds (mp3) directly from the player.
The only way is to go to the folder and load the file, that......
I also downloaded doublTwist and it doesn't recognize
Hope someone can help me,
Thanks in advance
Have you restarted since you copied them over? I think it needs to scan for the media files before they will show up
Motivation: I am creating a more organized folder structure on my phone (LG Quantum) and am using the hack that allows the phone to be seen as a USB storage device.
1. I copy all the JPG and MP4 files from the phone to my computer.
2. I use exiftool to organize the files into folders by date and rename the files with more informative date-related names.
3. I then recopy the directory structure on the computer onto the phone.
It works very nicely for the JPG files. However, the MP4 files, that were originally created on the phone, only show up as video files with black thumbnails, and these files do not play.
If I use Zune to sync them, they go into the Video folder and DO PLAY on the phone. However, I do not want them in the Video folder. I want them in the structured directories in the "Pictures" folder that I made (I want pictures and videos in the same folders by date).
I can copy the files in the phones Video folder to the Pictures directory structure I created on the phone, but a bunch of black thumbnails are left in the Video folder that don't play, making it very inconvenient (since I only want music videos or movies in the Videos folder).
Does anyone know why MP4 files created by the phone will not play when copied to the computer and then back to the phone via USB?
Is this a bug? Any hacks to fix?
Thank you.

Workaround/Solution:
1. Delete instances of .nomedia files in the root of your sd card
2. Go to Music folder-----Create another folder in the Music Folder----Move ur songs into this folder . Now the files would appear in the multimedia player and play just fine.
3. Similarly create another folder under DCIM/Camera and move ur pics into the new folder. They will now appear in the gallery app.
I use my phone as an mp3 player, and I have the music folder and download folder on our desktop pc shared on the home network.
when I want to put music on the phone, I use es file explorer to copy music from the shared folder to the sd card. sometimes files don't copy in alpha-numeric order, I think it happens when there's a wider variation in file sizes in the folder. the sd card is formatted in FAT (exfat, I think), which indexes files in order of creation.
if the files have been copied and indexed out of order, music player apps will then play them in that order, regardless of what the track numbers in the metadata says. this is an old problem that's been plaguing digital music fans for years.
it's relatively easy to fix, by just cutting and pasting the files into another folder on the sd card, where they are re-indexed into alpha-numeric order.
is there a way to stop it happening to start with, either at the phone end or on the pc (linux mint 17)? I'd assume that formatting the sd card in a different file system would just cause me problems, can I force es file explorer to copy the files in order? or is there a different file manager that will? or would sharing the files via ftp instead of smb sort it out?
IT FIXED ITSELF. Don't ask me how but I just booted the 700, open FM (file manger) and low and behold all the files on the microSD are showing in the category section ! ! !
TF700 on 7.1.2_27, using Asus File Manager v2.0.0.397_180123.
Ok here's what it's doing, I can use the file manger fine to browse the microSD card, but none of the file are showing in the "Category" section and the are in the correct folder (ie. music, pictures, ect.). I have scanned the microSD card for .nomedia and none were found. Also when I copied some songs to the music folder on the internal storage they show up in the category bubble for Music. Also because file manager doesn't categorized the media file on the microSD card correctly, Gallery and my music player do not show the files, but they will open and play music is I select individual files using the file manager.
Another thing, everything was working fine, it wasn't until after I copied a few songs from my cloud to the microSD via PC, reinserted the microSD in the TF700 that this problem started.
