I have a 128MB SD card, and I want to put some mp3s and videos on it, but I cannot see how to store it directly to the card. I dont have an external reader writer. So far I've been saving to the PocketPC's HD, then transferring to SD. But the files I wna tto put on it are to large to fit on my HD, even temporarily.
Thanks again

well you can get a 8-1 flash reader which read all know flash types for about 40$ but apart from that then maybe if you brows the pda when it's connected to the activesync you can get hold of the sd dir
When you have the xda connected to your pc with activesync just go to the files you wish to transfer to sd card, choose the files then right click and choose copy, you then go to "explore" in activesync, click on pocket pc then on storage card, right click then "paste"
cool
Thanks crusin-thru- worked like a charm.
dumber question-how do i delte stuff? I put some things on that need to leave now, and when I hit delete, it tells me the files I'm trying to axe cant be deleted. I've made sure they weren't running in any programs, in fact I closed all progrms to be sure. Tried it on and off the cradle.
Feelin' Silly
Try removing the sd card, reinserting, soft reset, then try deleting.

I'm wanting to backup & format my SD card following a problem with Sense not loading described in another thread. Having read various threads about this problem it seems that some, if not all, revolve around issues with the SD card.
Through File Explorer, on the phone, I've selected ''Show all Files'' from within my SD card directory. However after connecting my phone to my PC thru active sync there are some files that are visible on my phone in the SD card directory which aren't visible in the SD card folder on my PC screen. I've tried to find the show all files setting on my pc but haven't been able to.
Thing is I don't want to backup my card then format it and possibly not backup all files that are present on the card.
Any help appreciated.
Hi there,
Two days ago I copied all the files on my SD card to my laptop, changed my card from a 2Gb one to a 8Gb and copied all the files back again onto the new SD card. I never even looked for hidden files neither on the phone nor on the laptop and it all went without any problems and all is working fine.
For sake of good order, I can't guarantee it will work with you as well, but it should.
Bye,
Itamar

Hi, thx for the reply. Think I'm just gonna bite the bullet and go ahead.
Greeting Everyone,
I have a most perplexing problem., for some reason Data keeps randomly deleting from my SD card. I dont know what's causing this but I suspect it happens whenever I run low on USB storage. If that is the reason, why would data be deleted from my SD card because Im low on USB?
If that is the case, how can I prevent this from happening, can I write protect my folders on my SD card? set to read only? AND if I set to read only that means I cannot save data to it either.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
3 things come to mind ..
1~low storage space
2~corrupted data
3~damaged SD card
And possibly a bad connection on the contact points.
Clean the card contacts with a q-tip and a small amount of rubbing alcohol and reinstall the card.
If the condition persists, then move your files to PC from the card and format the card via PC to FAT32 file structure.
( full format, not the quick method )
Once the card is done, then move your files back to the card.
Also, avoid any repartitioning of the card using apps like rom manager etcetera, as your card can be damaged using these methods.
If the above steps fail, then consider trying another sd card.
Good luck to you ..g
Are you losing a particular "data" file? And if it is just music, did you check with a file explorer to see if it is indeed not there and just not cached by the music app?

I think maybe formatting with FAT32., everything else Ive done. I remember formatting a 16GB card on my PC and never had this issue.

more than just music, Ive lost pictures and misc documents like .pdf, word and text docs. I have 2 different 32GB cards and they've both done the same thing.
I have several videos i want to transfer from sd card back to my computer.
But everytime i try it just cuts of the transfer and doesnt move any files.
With my old phone it was read as removable device and with teracopy i could move all that i wantd.
But with S3 it mounts my device as "GT-I9300 Portable Media Player" not as SD card.
I would use a sd card adaptor but my sd card is encrypted so will only work with phone.
Is there a way around this and mount the phone as a removable device or are there programs to manage the file transfer from phone to pc?

WiFi file transfer Pro is my suggestion. It doesn't require a cable - you just connect to the same wifi network as your comp. and then type an adress in the url bar and then download/upload as you please to both internal and external sd.
Thanks for your reply.
Wifi file transfer pro is a paid app, if there a way to do this using the transfer cable as i usually move several gigs over from my phone to computer and back and prefer to use a reliable connection.
Also i am unable to use teracopy to transfer my files like before i am limited to just move and when try moving several files it makes the next set copy across instead of moving.
Use Airdroid
It's free & it's actually the dogs nuts. It's on every pc, laptop & phone I own.

So I just got a 64GB Samsung EVO microSD for my HTC One M8. I installed it, and plugged my phone into my pc to transfer some music onto it.
I started by moving the music off the device storage onto the card through windows explorer, and it seemed to be transferring fine. It was taking a while as I had about 7Gb of music on the device already. Then like an idiot I unplugged the phone from the new dock I just got and was trying to get to work with my phone cases, while the files were still transferring.
Now, it won't let me paste anything to the SD card or device storage. Dragging files across to the SD card or device just freezes the folder icon where I dropped it. I am using clover as a windows explorer augment, if that makes any difference. But it doesn't look like I can transfer anything to the SD card from my phone either, as I just tried moving the music across with ES file explorer, and it came up with an error about needing a root to write to SD.
I have tried formatting the microSD from the phone, uninstalling the pc drivers for the phone and letting it reinstall them. Tried removing the card then replacing it, and restarting the phone. I have tried using SnapPea to transfer files across, all to no avail. Strangely, SnapPea and ES File Explorer are listing two SD cards, the first being identical to the files on the device storage, and the second being the actual SD.
I have no idea what is going on. I don't have a card reader to try formatting the card without the phone involved, but it seems like ejecting the phone erroneously has messed up the device storage as well seeing as I can't transfer files to either from my PC now.
I have been using my micro sd card for a couple of years now without issue, on the same phone. Suddenly, I can't add new files, or delete old files. I'm not getting any read/write errors or anything... but changes just won't "stick."
Say if I load some music on there, and I can play the music, but as soon as I take my SD card out or reboot my phone, the music disappears.
Same with deleting the files. I can delete the files, and then as soon as I remove the sd card or reboot my phone, the files are right back again.
I have tried formatting it on my pc, with no success. I have tried formatting with TWRP (I'm rooted) with no success. The files still REMAIN.
I tried checkdisk on my PC (I have a micro SD card reader) and it didn't seem to help.
There doesn't appear to be a read/write switch on my micro sd either (and when I use the card reader, I make sure it's not locked).
I am at a loss. We are about to go on a long trip and I'd like to add more music! :'(
Its now write protected... U cant use it anymore... Batter you get new one.
