You're not going to be able to transfer 14 gigs of anything to your tablet. You need to put those on an external micro sd card and run it from there. These tabs are only 8/16 G to start and KK and other stuff uses a few of them.

Are you trying to load it straight from your computer to the card? If so, try to reformat it, and try again. If all else fails, get yourself a new one. They do fail from time to time. Mine did a few months back, got a fresh one and bam all good.

What should I format the SD card to? Should I use cwm formating tool?

Please help! Can't use phone.
I did nothing except backed up my apps to sdcard and dropbox using titanium backup, restarted the phone and it gets stuck on lg logo. I went into recovery and deleted cache and dalvik cache. Same deal.
Errors:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I can't mount (and therefore format) sdcard!
Now every time I start the phone normally it just goes straight to recovery.
Please help.

Try opening the back battery door, eject and reinsert the SD card, then start the phone again.

Tried it, the card can't even be opened on the pc, it crashes explorer.exe and the sd activity light on the pc is constantly blinking as if it was trying to open a corrupted disk.
Any help? I googled it and the only solution I've found was to re-format either with windows sd formatter from panasonic. Neither can be done because I can't open the card.
personally , i'd try a recovery program like get data back to get my stuff off that card. you can even format it if windows will let you, and still use gdb to recover your files. but try without formatting first .. i've used gdb many times to recover stuff from deleted partitions,sdcards etc. but the fat32 version is 70 bucks. you could also try the card in a pc with a fresh copy of windows. but it looks like the card is corrupted. thats why i always have a spare card, and a backup of my main sdcard saved to pc. always expect the unexpected.
have you tried the card in a different reader, or phone?

thanks for that. i've been using gdb for years. i'll try that out. one time i deleted 32 gigs of data/music. gdb recovered it all. i'll try out this open source app for sure though.
Thanks for suggestions guys but how am I suppose to use those programs if when I plug-in the card it takes about 5 minutes for windows to list it in my computer and if I try to open it or right-click explorer.exe crashes.
I don't care about recovering anything, I just want to format and it doesn't seem I can...

I used it a few years ago to recover dozens and dozens of photos and documents relating to my (now-deceased) father. It was stuff I'd scanned from my mom's albums and collections once when I was visiting home. Took me countless hours to scan and edit that stuff and I couldn't imagine having to do it again lol. My hard drive crashed and I didn't have them backed up anywhere else. Learned my lesson there as far as backups.
I haven't needed to use it for a long time now but yea its a very good tool. If I remember correctly they even have a Live CD you can burn that will boot your computer and allow you to repair/recover your main disk drive if ever needed.
Thanks for hijacking

Not sure why you think I'm hijacking. I'm offering you advice on tools to use for disk management and recovery.
What version of Windows are you using?
Have you tried the Disk Management tool included in Windows? It should be able to see your card and format it for you.
If not, then you can try the bootable disk that crazythunder linked to. It contains gparted to format and partition the drive (and testdisk if you want to recover anything). There are also other bootable disks with gparted on them. Its a great tool. And its free.

Si señor. Granted I went on a little tangent about recovering documents about my father, but even that point wasn't totally moot because I was simply sharing a real life example of how testdisk had saved my butt.
Oh well, hope OP figures out the issue with his card. Any disk partitioning tool should take care of it if its just a formatting/partitioning issue.
Seriously?
Buy a new card.
...as the previous poster said, "buy a new card"
I had a 16GB Class 6 card die on me with similar symptoms. I bought a 32GB Class 10 card from Fry's and it has been working fine since.
Suggestion: I learned my lesson with my 16GB card and I backup the contents of my 32GB card to my computer every couple of weeks. This way when my SD card crashes again, I will have a "recent" backup to restore from ;-)
So out of the blue a notification pops up about the sd card being blank????? This is a fairly new card only used it a hand full of times..... Windows does not recognize it said insert card..... Only time i have seen that was with protected cards like Wp7...... Good thing i can still recover the data..... Wonder if it could have been electromagnetic waves from the solar flair..... Is this related to the sd card issue in other threads.....
Edit : Well I got it fixed had to do a low level format, reset write protect, full format with windows, then format on atrix 2 followed by transferring my backup .img..... Good thing i backup every few days..... If anyone needs the tools i used just let me know.....
What are you using to backup?

I use Roadkil's DiskImage v1.6 to backup my sd card..... Pop my sd card out when I do any changes I do not want to lose pick store image about 5 min later i am fully backed..... As for my android system I have yet to install cwm link for it is down.....
I have an 8gb card that seems to be dead. My phone don't recognize it, windows doesn't recognize it, all signs say it's toast. I'm interested in any tools you have so that I can check one more time before I just toss it. I'm sure it's done for, but sure it can't hurt to double check.

My card was like that @ first but this worked ..... First try this out http://hddguru.com/software/HDD-LLF-Low-Level-Format-Tool/ it should detect the sd card..... run the low level format it will return a bunch of errors that's ok just let it finsh ..... next you can try to format with windows if that does not work try this https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/eula_windows/ should get you back going.....
Nope, none of those recognized the card. I swapped some know good ones to be certain, and they showed, but not the 8gb. It was a cheapo that I don't even remember where I got it, so F-it/ lol
Thanks for the reply and the tools though, I appreciate it nonetheless.
Okay, now the internal SD Card is giving me all kinds of headaches.
I flashed all my ROM stuff fine, it installed, runs great, but now I can't copy or write anything to the internal SD Card.
I try to take a picture, force close. Copy files with Astro, errors. Even PC to phone errors out on me. I can't even copy over another ROM zip to reflash to try it out.
Anything like this happen to any of you guys?

Try going back to stock. Sounds like a bad flash. Or it was writtin in that it is only readable, not writing. So try the stock, should work. Pick your choice, recomend heimdale one click, its the easiest.
Plus once you reload save what files you have then format your sd card i do that every now and then...
Well, GTG's method is getting something to almost flash. It seems stuck at "factory.rfs" now. How long does it usually take to upload the filesystem?
Okay, I tried all my USB ports and found one that worked. Weird.

I just found I have an issue copying files from my PC to my SGS3. The error I get is " Device stopped responding or is disconnected" (on my pc). It worked days ago, and it worked on the current ROM I'm using. I can't think of anything else I could have done to mess it up. This happens when trying to copy anything to the Ext card or internal storage. Here's the kicker: now I can copy small files, but big zip files are a no go. Before I couldn't copy anything. All I did was reboot phone and PC, and looked into phone with Root Explorer, no changes.
I can copy files FROM the phone to PC but not to the phone from PC. How could this change literally overnight?? I did find a way to add Google Wallet to the phone. Could that have possibly been it?? Flashing a new ROM right now, gonna see if it helps.
New ROM didn't help. Still same issue.
*Update* Next day, I tried once again just for fun. And now it works fine! I did nothing to correct it. I did however reflash the ROM that the problem first arose. But I still don't get how that's even related to the ext sdcard. And how did it fix itself??? Would still like to know why it happened!

I had this EXACT same problem a few weeks ago. I'm not saying this is the case for you, but I found out that when I tried to batch transfer certain files, one of the files was corrupt. I eliminated whatever the culprit file was and was able to transfer. The strange thing is, it only happened when I tried transferring from internal to external as well, as if something in the transfer corrupted one of my files. So I started transferring files one by one, and the problem seems to be temporarily eliminated. Check to see if the zip file became corrupted in some way. Hope this helps.

I can transfer from ext to internal. I just can't transfer anything larger than a few MB. The zip files I'm trying are ROM zips so they are very large. Can't find anyone with this exact issue. I just flashed a new ROM, before that I formatted my sdcard. No idea what's wrong. Thanks for the reply though!

No problem at all. Do you think it's possible that the format you formatted the sdcard in may possibly be causing the issue? I've heard cases that incorrect formatting can block file transfers if over so many MBs, GBs, etc.

I had this exact problem as well. After a lot of trial and error, I gave up on the native MTP file transfer method, and went with ADB instead.
I use a very nicely done GUI on top of ADB to do all my file transferring called QtADB. Just install the Android SDK first, and then the GUI.

I'm going to try and find the adapter that came with the micro card. I've read where some people having this issue have to use the adapter to plug into the PC directly to copy files. What I don't get is how it just happened all of a sudden. It was working just a few days ago, I loaded a bunch of music no problem as well as ROMs to flash. Very weird. It has to be a setting somewhere lol.

Minor update I'm no longer really needing a solution to this problem although it would be very helpful for everyone if one was found as I'm sure this has been a problem too many people at this point)
I'm over here trying to root my S6 Lite tablet without a computer just a bloody cell phone and I am oh so close but I have no way of reformatting this SD card cuz xxxxx Android wants to put it as FAT32 for god knows what reason it's an 8 gig SD card and I've even tried reformatting it in both devices I have same result Android just being stupid and I am at the end of my rope here cuz I have not been able to find any apps once so ever that actually allow me to reformat an SD card with a format of my choosing or at least one that's usable
Now please tell me that someone on this xxxxx website has a solution to this problem because once again the weird stuff I'm doing has led me down a path no one else has seemingly took
(And if anyone's asking why I'm rooting this tablet it's because Android 12 works like crap)
Mod Edit: Some content removed.
I am kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place as I have not been able to figure out any method of formatting this SD card with something usable because Android is for some unknown reason only formatting it with FAT32 despite using two different devices to attempt to format it normally and I have not been able to find a single application that exists that does not require root permissions that would allow me to change the format of the SD card I have legitimately spent like three or four hours now trying to figure something out and have come up with nothing please someone here help
I'm just going to add this year that I obviously don't have access to a computer or this wouldn't be a problem
Root your phone and use twrp to change filesystem.
But in your case when you don't want to root. Unplug SD card and connect with adapter to your pc.
Go to this computer and right click on the SD card
Click format And select filesystem
Quick format is fine
Format and when finished
Put SD card back.
Done

Both of those are a problem because I don't have a computer to use and I am trying to root my tablet and the only other device I have is an a20 cell phone that's not rooted either and I am so close but I can't Flash the modded firmware because Android is formatting the SD card with xxxx FAT32 so besides this SD card the only other option I have is to attempt to do the flash over wireless ADB I mean seriously if I had a bloody computer I would have been done like 3 days ago
