Ok I've been having these problems transferring mp3's and mp4's to my external SD card but couldn't get any of them to play at all .. but if I transfer them to my phone SD card they will play with no problem. The videos would freeze and not play and the mp3 would say format not supported from the external SD card .. for some reason when I transfer the files from the computer directly to external SD card the are pasted in a different format
.. soo I just tranfered all files to SD on phone then copied files to external SD card using a file manager like astro and they worked and erased files from phone to save more space .. now I have all media on my 16 gig external SD card class 2 and everything works fine ... just wanted to share my experience maybe others were having the same problem ... .. and if anyone knows why they are copied to external SD in a different format????
Hey Guys
For a little while now I have been having issues getting MP3s to be detected. It worked with the cyanogen mod rom but other roms (currently ThaiZO3D) only show MP3s on the internal SD. I can play them manually with a file manager and have tried a new sd card
any suggestions?
OK I fixed it:
Here is what I did.
1-Unmount the SD card
2-Clear the media storage data and music player data
3-remount sd card
Voilà all the music is found
I am having issues upgrading to a bigger SD Card.
I have been using the stock 8GB SD Card and now I am upgrading to 32GB SD Card.
I am using Total Commander on my PC to backup all of the files on my old SD Card to the PC and then transfer the files onto my new SD Card.
Problem is when I boot up off the new SD Card it wipes all of the data and I can't seem to get around it.
Any suggestions?
Anyone?
As soon as I put music, photos or videos on the card it is wiped when I boot up the SD card on the phone.
Actually I wonder if my phone doesn't support SDHC and that's why it is not working.
i have a surface rt ( first generation ) running windows 8.1 ( i have a 64 gb sandisk sd card installed on my surface ( with all the pics, documents, videos, and music folders linked to the sd card ) today i decided do eject the sd card to install about 2000 songs from my laptop to my sd card, everything went normal, i finished coping the files , so i remove the sd card, and i put it back in on the laptop to make sure all the music was there, but i noticed that it never copied anything ( after spending 50 min for the songs to transfer) so i went to folder setting and unchecked DO NOT SHOW HIDDEN FILES, and there it was, a folder on my sd card called SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION , i tried to do a reset on the sd card put it gives me an error " couldnt be formatted , i dont mind loosing all the files on the sd card since i hace a copy on my laptop, i just want to factory format my sd card ...can anyone help me please
i tried taking full ownership of the forlder and sd card but it resets back everytime i open the sd card ,all i want to do is format the sd card, i dont care about the files inside since have a copy of my pics and music. I dont know what else to do, and dont want to throw away the sd card since its a 64gb card
im not even able to add files to the sd card its so stressing .
this are the folders i have inside the sd card
documents
downloads
music
pictures
skydrive
system volume information (weird)
torrent
videos
.dropbox.device ( weird)
i cant even use the sd card to store files. and if i change a setting on the sd card or try to take ownership it wont let me , i tried deleting all the folders but they keep coming back.
( i asked the same questionin microsoft forums but im not getting any answers )
thank you in advance
System Volume Information is a standard system folder that you will find on every partition of a modern Windows system. It stores things like recovery data. Did you even do a search at all? http://www.bing.com/search?q="System+volume+information"
Did you check the Music folder on the SD card to see if the files had been transferred there? Did you check the used space on the card to see if the multiple gigabytes that many songs would have taken up were consumed? Sorry if these seem like really basic questions, but I can't make assumptions here.
Format failing is weird, but the next step I'd try would be to un-mount the card. Use Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) or the command-line tool mountvol.exe (run CMD or Powershell as Admin) to remove the drive mapping, then try Disk Management, diskpart.exe, or the format command. Use the volume name if you need to (after un-mounting, there won't be a drive letter or mount point, of course).

If you can get the SD card on a non rt PC try out this tool: Official SD
The tool also works with flash drives.
