I am running aokp ics. I plugged my phone into the pc and my pictures disappeared on the external sd. I can see that there is space being used but cannot see and pictures or videos. Also i noticed that my internal sd has 4 of every file. Any ideas on why this might have happened.

I had the same thing but before I installed build 29 I formatted my emmc and it is now still empty after dirty flashing builds 29-1 and 29-1-0402. I had assumed that it was a result of all the roms I've been flashing lately.
Well i guess it's good to know i am not the only one but now i cannot flash anither rom. It says that there are no files while in cwm. Then if i flashed from external it gets stuck looping on lg screen.

try the second method
Ok i can't get either method to work. I've tried editing it myself and I used your zip.
Whats strange is, I scrubbed everything with the g2x scrubber AND i wiped everything manually. I still get this stupid issue with the SD card and also, a Background from my previous rom loads up all of a sudden????
I know a lot of people got this working and all but damn, this has to be the worst rom I've ever dealt with in terms of getting this to work.
I was working on this last night, DO NOT MESS WITH THIS STUFF IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING!!!! I wiped the internal partitions and it took me a good 4 hours to get my baby back!
It's gonna have to wait till a ROM dev adds the function back into cm 9. I was trying to change all of the necessary files myself, i figured that the file system was close enough to Linux for new to figure it out, like spare parts did in cm7.
but it ended up in a real nasty soft brick.
Seriously, messing with your vold.fstab can f up your recovery partition and make it so you can't get into recovery, and you can't reflash it because the partition tables aren't there.

I flashed the MHX Superlite 4.5 yesterday. Media scanner "starts" whenever I open gallery or music or any app that accesses media. Songs/pictures on my external SD card would not be recognized by either stock music player,play music,gallery
I flashed MHX Superlite 5.0 today. The problem persists. I searched the thread and found that someone suggested to run "SUPERIPE" then reflash.........I'm assuming they meant Superwipe. I ran Superwipe TWICE, re flashed and still no change.
Fortunately there is no stick when restarting or shutting down, but I could live with that.............Need my music
Thanks
Update: I have tried a new ROM AND a new sd card and the problem persists!
how big is your media stick? brand?

sounds like you might have filesystem problems with the sd card? i suggest you copy all your stuff off it using the mount usb storage option in cwm (mounts and storage > usb), and then format /sdcard under cwm, or remove the card, format it under a windows computer, and reinsert it.
formatted the sd card (while connected to my PC and using the default FAT32 setting)
problem persists
I can view files via the my files app

I've had pretty good luck doing the following to fix strange errors:
Wipe data
Format system twice
Format data twice
Format cache twice
Run superwipe
Flash rom
Wipe cache and dalvik before first boot (this requires holding the volume buttons on the superlite 5 install at the appropriate time)
I'm sure this method is at least 50% superstition on my part, but it works for me every time.
I just want to state for anyone who ever reads this
I finally got the media scanner to work
Method
flashed through Odin original skyrocket leak
Flashed cwm
Ran super wipe
Flash ROM

I had the same problem, with a different ROM. I think there was something corrupt or messed up on the internal sd card, cuz after I moved everything to the computer, it worked fine. The one click worked because it wipes the emmc. I went straight from GB to a ICS rom, that's why I had a problem.

I woke up and found that somehow my wall paper had reset itself, and the media scanner was not working again. Thanks to what you said, I knew to format the Emmc and media scanner works again.
I did remove everything from the SD card to my PC and format the card a few days earlier but that didn't solve the problem.
It seems you understand what's going on. Could you explain a little more. I rather understand than just know to format emmc
Thanks
To be quite honest, I'm not 100% sure what causes media scanner to lock up. From what I read elsewhere on the internet, it could be a corrupt file, or maybe its just that ICS's media scanner handles files differently than GB's media scanner. I'm leaning more toward the latter, as GB media scanner never had a problem when running a GB ROM, and there is some reason as to why the one click ICS was designed to wipe the emmc (internal sd card).
Hope that helps clear any confusion!

Hey guys, I have looked all over and cant find an answer...
I am running the most current (4/23) version of the cm9 rom, but i cant get my infuse to "recognize/or/find" my external 32gb sd card... it finds my internal 16 gb no problem, i have also swapped it out for my 16gb card and its still a no-go...
what do i have to do / change to get it to show up? im needing to get to my music because my daily drives of 14+ hours are getting a bit tedious...
if you could in full detail tell me where the file to edit is and what needs to be changed it would be awesome!
thanks in advance and if this has been posted i apologize i must have missed seeing it...
also running 4/23 built and it reads mine no problems,, bad flash?
I'm thinking its possably something to do with a lib file as both clicking on external SD and internal SD both go to the internal SD... using astro file manager I can see both fine... but not when I use a stock app... *shrug* I also can't afford to try and reinstall it as I'm no where near home for the next 5 days either and if I screw up I'm without a phone...
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA
you can try flashing it over and see if that helps, this time use fix permission and it could also be a bad download, what i would do is re-download, go back to phone stock , and while you're there factory reset the phone( back up all your other data ) , flash kernels to get red cmw ( entropy DD ) and then flash latest cm9
I recently installed a 64gb. I had to go back to stock to get it recognized. Then when I reinstalled CM9, I found it under /mnt/emmc.

Go to the themes and apps forum - See Axiomkids mods and tweaks for this build. Go to number 5 in the OP. Although it says it won't recognize the external sd it does for my phone . I only have an 8 gb card, don't know if that makes a difference. Hope this helps. Edit- Here's the link. I used the1.1.4 version. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389375
Thanks... phone can find it now... but music and video apps still don't "see" it..
Is there a "string" (?) command i can use in the terminal console to change where its looking...
seems to be finding the "external SD" folder but not the actual card...
Seems very odd to me cause both when i flashed back, googles' stock apps found it, and as well as the cm 7.2.0 release found the external sd card in the right spot.
Now flashing cm 9.0 (05/02/12) it finds the external sd folder on the internal sd, but still doesn't find the external sd...

thanks for that, i have just gone completely stock, then rooted, flashed cm7, now back to cm 9, and still nothing. yet cm7 and stock can find all the music n videos on my external sd fine with the native built-in music/video apps... once i install cm9 they don't "see" it or recognize it... tho when i go thru astro file manager i can see it just fine... *shrug*
Google Play Music did not find my songs despite following their instructions. Winamp & the music player did.
So did Album Art Grabber.

Did a clean install and wiped twice everything I could via cwm recovery... seems to be fine now - took me 3 hours to get back to a working stock... think my phone doesn't like the stock now after being on cm lol... anyways its working fine now... thanks to you guys on all your input... found it was a bad micro sd format when I formatted it (micro sd) from cm recovery the first time I installed cm9 on entropys first build... :banghead: shoulda thought of that earlier...

Alright so for some reason my internal card loads, but apps like my music player and photo gallery don't see files. But when I go into my file manager, everything shows. I'm running on CM9 nightlies 8/08 to be exact. I deleted the apps that I updated today and manually cleared out the caches, and the problem still persists. I don't get why everything shows on the file manager. I JUST WANT MY MUSIC PLEASE HELP ME

It will be there until you restart then it will be gone again. This is not good. back up your files to your computer asap. I'm guessing our internal cards are about to give up.
Yeah I backed up my pictures already.

There has to be a bad file somewhere on the SD card. It keeps restarted the scan in Storage as I'm watching it every time it hits Misc.

I formatted my internal (by mistake) and its showing pictures I just transferred from my external to internal.

so you see the text "scanning media card" or something like that when you first boot? All I see now is "Preparing Media Card". My stuff is back now after clearing data in "media storage" in the app manager and then running the Rescan Media ROOT.apk but I'm sure it will vanish again like last time.
Just try formatting internal if it happens again. It sucked moving all my music back over but nothing has disappeared

I just read on Rootz that it was a ROM Manager mess up and it's been corrected...
"ROM Manager had an update that messed up a .nomedia file which has now been updated again to fix that. Perhaps that is the cause of your gallery issues?"
"Thanks! That was it. I actually had to remove updates to that app, and reinstall the latest to fix it. Great call."
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30320286&postcount=2
This fixed it for me. I manually deleted the .nomedia file with a root explorer program, make sure hidden files are viewable if you do this.
Additionally, I had to clear data in Media Storage under settings -> application -> All
Reboot to Recovery and wipe cache partition then reboot phone and everything should be back.
Make sure you update to the latest version of Rom Manager prior to all this.
I'm running SkyICS by Seanzscreams and just ran into the nomedia problem today, so its not an isolated issue CM10
Here's my question, the roms I've installed from the zips that I have placed on my sd to flash, can these be deleted off the sd card after they have been flashed since I've got nandroid backups of these roms which have been saved to internal.

Easy answer, yes.
My opinion, keep one in case your backups fail and your stuck (seen it happen a couple times). Then you have something to flash to get back quickly.

Absolutely, just keep at least one sure fire way of keeping a Rom whether it's a nandroid or the zip file of a Rom. Been in a few situations where my phone couldn't boot and had no Rom on my internal or external sd and had to hijack my parents phone to put a Rom on the external sd to flash.
Thank you was thinking of reformatting my extsd and didn't want to screw things up.
