New to android been on IOS for years, but Apple really started slipping so i decided to switch over ... anyway after getting the samsung galaxy note 2 i got the note 10.1 tablet. on my tablet i have a 32gb SD card, which was working fine until the jelly bean update a few days ago. now the SD card wont mount. i tried using windows to format it. That didnt work either, it would only format to FAT, FAT32 didnt even show up and then it would only allow me to get 8.0mb from the 32 gb SD card. even when i got desperate (giggity) the 8mb format thing didnt work. I read around and people mentioned going through recovery mode via clockworks or whatever its called. Tried that and couldnt format the SD because the external disk wasnt mounted and it kept failing to mount ...
Any suggestions?
Try using a card reader on your pc/laptop and format it using MiniTool Partition Wizard.
I tried that... Didn't work, and thnx though
Any other suggestions?

I tried to install the newest version of prime by micro sd card in cwm. Everytime I try to install zip from sd it says error cant mount sd card. I have installed it before without any issues. I formated sd card and tried to do again. no go. I then restarted tab to see if it was showing on tool bar and it was and showed the zip in sd. I then tried to mount in cwm and it had error again. I decided to unroot and start from scratch. still same issue in cwm. please tell me what the issue is.
This happens when your sdcard is not propperly formated. Try THIS

I'm more inclined to believe PhatUgly on this one. I've formatted some microSD cards FAT32 and they didn't mount correctly. Did just about everything I could to remove and restore volumes, reformat, etc. Nothing worked, but it may have been a bad card. Or, it could be that there's more to it than just formatting. I'll have to try it with the SD Formatter linked in #2 above and see.
Im having similar issues as well. I got my tf for christmas (woohoo) but have had nill success with full size sd cards, and as a note I did update to the latest firmware before anything, that may be related.
Ive tried rebooting, formatting fat32 and ntfs, ive tried taking my working 32gb microsd, putting into an adapter and still wont, or any combination of things ive mentioned. I tried the above mentioned sd formatter with no luck.
Also of note, this is the sd card I got that works everywhere else but my tf:

I have a Samsung Galaxy Showcase I500 i was on stock 2.3.5 and i decided to flash a custom rom so i installed newest miui rom for I500 1.12.9 i think.. So my problem is that if i reboot my phone it seems to make the sd card corrupt. which isnt really a problem because i always keep it on. The first time it happened though my phone rebooted on its own and was kind of glitchy. Since then i have had the sd card damaged problem 2 more times but when i rebooted once and once when i pushed files from my computer to my sd card in usb storage mode. i really like this rom but i cant continue to reformat my sd card every couple of days and reload music download album cover redownload themes etc...its getting old... any help would be greatly appreciated. by the way i have tried reformatting with my computer and my phone so i know that wont fix it.

Does the computer recognize the SD card?

Reformat
Reformat your SD card by right clicking -> properties -> and format it. See if this helps. Also, try using another SD card to see if it is just your SD card or your phone that is bad. Deduce and solve
i have tried all of this reformatting from my phone from my computer every which way i could. i have used my disk management and nothing works. i decided to keep my 8 gb in there it is working without flaw. but both the 16 gb ones just keep getting corrupted. This is weird because when i tried installing miui with my 16 gb sd card it wouldnt work so after pulling my hair out for two days i found a post where someone said to use an 8 gb card to install it and i did and it worked perfectly. i guess this phone rom doesnt like 16 gb sd cards.
Hi guys im having an issue with a 32gb Kingston sd card, whats happening is that everytime i add files to my sd card from my computer it will show them to me that they are there. But once i put the sd card in my phone the new files i transfer wont appear :/. Ive formatted my sd card already like couple times and still does the same. Never did that to my 8gb card, and top of that when i transfer all my data from the 8gb to the 32 only half transferd and when back n fourth doing it folder per folder and just wouldnt show anything on the phone. Any suggestions, thank you

Going to take a guess and say you're on CM? If so I had problems with my 32GB too but on stock roms it works. I had to get a 16GB to use under CM. I'm not sure of the problem but there was my fix

Are you rebooting the phone after putting back the microsd? Sometimes that works.

As matter fact havent tried on Cm, im on MIUI right now. But im giving it one more try with the formatting see what happens if not will go to Eagle Blood see how that goes.
Yeah im since i noticed my sd card wouldnt show up unless would have to reboot. some files have been transfering but like awhile ago i d-loaded the files that needed for the game Modern combat 2 and after finished i rebooted or just quit playing and tried playing again and have to be redowloading the files over and over again since nothing stays on my sd card :/

Tried formatting it using the phone itself? Miui is based off cm7 so that could be the issue as well.

Won't let me format it from phone since as soon as I put it in tells me "safely to remove card now" so kinda like automatically ejectects itself when I put it in. N got another problem :/ I bitlocked the sd card in my windows 7 laptop and as I was transferring files my wire was loose and we'll lost the connection and of course gave me files transfer error. But the problem now is that since I bitlocked the sd card won't let me get in it anymore, even though i put my password I put for the sd card. Just says something error with files and blah blah ;/. Can't even format or or anything anymore ;/

Moving from Weapon X to Miui rom my sdcard was detected fine but then after a couple of days of using Miui I wasn't able to open up sdcard when connected to my pc. It shown that usb is detected on my phone.
It only work when I restore back to WeaponX. I tried flashing different Miui roms, EagleBlood and PhoenixBlood. None detect my sdcard on pc except for WeaponX. I also tried to format my sdcard. Didn't work.
Anyone got any suggestion??
Try reinstalling ure usb drivers or not just restart the computer that would help with me. Or have you tried it with a card adapter?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
If you've tried it both with the USB cord and with an sd card reader, it might just be a bad sd card. This happened to me with a Samsung 16gb. I couldnt add or delete anything on it. Simply had to get a new sd card. Try out Lexar or PNY if you want a good one.

I've got a Ver. S3 and a new 64GB class 10 Micro SD card. I can't get the phone to mount the card. The phone is stuck on the Galaxy S3 screen. The phone has been wiped. I had hoped that I could get the phone into recovery and pull a rom off the card I would be OK. It will go into CWM but it won't mount the card. I formatted the card under FAT32 on the PC. It has FAT as default, NTFS, FAT32 and exFAT. If I can load a downloaded rom and gapps I think I can get this thing going. Right now it doesn't look good. Any Ideas? I can't format with the phone since it can't mount the external card. Again, does anyone have an idea about what to do?

Can you get it into download mode? If you can do that then you can Odin back to stock and start from square one. Have you tried another card? That may work.
I just flashed the latest ROM five minuets ago and am finally getting thirty hours of battery time! This is sick!!

One of those "believe it or not" things: the SDXC (SD eXtended Capacity = 64GB or more) specification says that the default (factory) format is exFAT. The GS3 recognizes both exFAT and FAT32, but some ROMS do not support exFAT due to Microsoft's funky licensing.

You don't need to partition it. You need to format it to Fat32 as was mentioned.
I am now on my 3rd 64GB MicroSD, the same one in OP.
It works when I get it, but it preformatted as exFat, which wont work with ROM.
The first 2 SDs I used EaseUS Partition to format as Fat32. Format went fine, but when I went to place files on card, card unmounted. This last one I used Ridgecorp’s Fat32Format, but same problem.
When I insert card, Win7 sees it, but if I go to format/write it disconnects.
Before I send this third one back to amazon, any ideas how to format it?
FYI, I took the last one to a frien with a mac to see if he could fix it, after i tried to format Fat32, but no luck.

Yea, I believe that's the same card I have(had for working on 3 1/2 months now) and I used the Ridgecorp GUI utility in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773735 to format it as soon as I got it.
I've loaded it with music and continue to play said music all the time, use my ext for all my ROM downloading and storage. I access it all the time thru the phone and computer with no problems attributed to the card. (Some ROMs screw with my computer seeing my phone period)
Surprise! TW UI Did the trick!
S'up Crew
I don't know if this would apply to anyone on this thread but I bought a SanDisk 64GB MicroSDXC and my SGS3 Wouldn't recognize the card and all.
At the time I was running CM10 Stable.
After trying several different methods found around the forums (both here and external) nothing worked.
W7 would only recognize it as a 32GB because of OS limitations and with every single third party software I tried it was always the same thing (32GB only).
So on a whim I decided to try a slightly different approach.
I flashed a backup I had of the Original Touch Whiz UI I had laying around back onto the device. Shoved the SD card into it and LO and BEHOLD.. It recognized the card.. Erased the Contents and Formated it properly!
I went into Titanium Backup to see if it actually worked and there it was..
63.xGB.. Woohoo!
So apparently CM has problems seeing a 64GB MircoSDXC correctly and the Stock Touch Whiz UI OS works nicely to see it and format it.
Hope this helps the next person who reads this!
I formatted my 64GB class 10 card in my Mac to fat32 and it has worked fine since.
CWM sees it as that size, TWRP does, both my Mac and PC do.
