I decided to backup my SD card today.
I moved all contents to Computer.
It saved okay.
Then idk what i did, but on my phone, nothing shows up.
nothing at all.
Already deleted everything and put the data from my computer.
Already rebooted more than 5 times.
I went on Root explorer, checked the SD Card and all my data is there, and when i go to music, the music even plays so its not corrupt.
I'm running MIUI, whats going on?
You say nothing shows up but then contradiction yourself and say that the music shows up and plays, so what isn't " showing up"?

So you moved or copied all the stuff from your phone to your PC?
Ok since you said "i moved all contents to computer" your not going to see them on your phone...theyre not there you "moved" them.
Unless ofcoarse you ment copied them to your computer,inwhich case i dont know

Yeah always copy instead of moving or it will get erased.

Hi there. I'm not sure how it happened but I woke up this morning, went into my phone gallery to find 4 folders full of images had vanished from my sd card and I have no idea how. is there any way I could maybe get them back?

Do you find them on sdcard through file manager?
Try the app named undelete from market
they're not on the sd card either.
I tried undelete and actually found some, if not all in the list but may have ****ed that up, cos when I restored them, they weren't in the gallery because the folders they were originally in were deleted. I didn't even know to specify a folder.. so are they lost for good now?

Ok quick question. On my sd card is a folder called "android". Inside is a folder called data and inside here looks like app data. My question is can i delete this folder cas it takes up 6gb.
Reason im asking is before on old rom i had moved all apps to sd card but after new rom i installed all apps to phone mem instead. So now not sure if this folder is from now or if its all my old app data from before. Unmount of sd card and my apps still work which makes me beleive its ok to delete but thought id ask u gurus first before i cause major problems.

Some applications store data in there, for example the Amazon appstore caches all your APKs there, I believe Google Maps' cache is there, etc. In *general*, it's fine to delete it but just be advised you may actually lose some data/settings you don't know about. If you're cool running all your apps with the SD card unmounted, I don't see why it would cause you any major grief.
Well basically yeah figured that. Now if i delete it and i lost sum app data cant i just use tibu and restore it ?? That way i get of the junk...???

I doubt it, I don't think TiBu backs up the stuff on the SDCARD, but I could be wrong about that. I've only used it one or twice
Any input from anyone else before i try this ? The whole idea is to try and clean some space off of my already small sscard. Just didnt think i had 6gb worth of apps and thinking it came from before when i moved everything to sdcard. thats why im asking the question in my OP.

You could always duplicate the folder on your pc, delete it entirely from your sd, and see what happens. Run it for a few days, and try out all of the apps you regularly use. If all hell breaks loose, you could just put it back on your sd and delete portions more selectively.

Please report back as I'm interested in this as well
Worked great. Copied folder to my pc then deleted it off my sd card. Restarted phone and ultimatly it made a new android folder. All apps still work. Freed a bunch of space. Foind out Basically that folder contains all the data from games and any apps that may need "downloaded content". So dont delete it unless you feel like downloading all this data over again.

I'm glad it worked out.
I'm curious. Considering it re-downloads data, is the size of the new folder considerably smaller?

OK guys! Now don't hate me. I know this has probably been asked many times before. So don't hate me, just looking for help. I download a lot of my music from the app called " mp3 music downloader". My question is " all my songs are being put into my USB storage not my external SD card. I have a 32 gig SD card that I want all my music to download too. Well one is how do I move all my music files from my USB to SD storage? and 2 how do I set it up that whenever I download music it automatically goes on my external SD card? Thank you to anyone that is willing to help a newbie.

I believe in the USB settings you must select, "mass storage mode" when connected
When you plug your note into your computer- if you run windows autoplay should recognise 2 seperate forms of storage. Usueally drive," I: " is your external SD
You can open both and simply recognise the difference between the two and your computer will recognise the amount of storage on both there is. So it should be easy to identify your external SD
For your sake, if your transferring music or anything for that matter organize it on your computer into folders- although generally the note recognizes the entire card with or without orginization; I just prefer not to mix my music with my backups in the same place
If you have any further questions feel free to PM me!

Wait nvm there's an easier way. Go to the ssettings of the app and change the directory to your external SD
From your phone download an app called astro file manager
Fine where your music is, cut and paste it to your external SD
What I described above is for the transfer of files through a computer but you can use your phone! Ignore my first post

Thank you so much for the quick reply. I did want to know how to do this from the phone only. I also went into setting under my music app mp3 music downloaded. There is no selection. Probably a ****ty app. But works great. I will try astro file manager. But does this mean every time I download a song I will basically have to do a copy and paste deal?

No no! Well, I'm sure the music app supports different completed download directories. Otherwise that's gonna be your best bet but ill look into it!

Well I checked the music app I use. Under settings there's no selection for where the music fies are downloaded. It automatically puts it in usb storage. I'm going to have to try another music app. Thanks for the help. But I did move all the files to the external SD card. Using Astro file manager. I'd like using this music app because it has the american billboard chart I can just pick the songs rather than typing and thinking of the song or searching.

I use that app and Your right there's no way to change the file location. Once a month I just do a cut and paste to my SD card. Its the only solution I've found.

So I went into the developer Launch Tools and, while trying to make sure all my music and stuff was on here, pressed the "Insert 20 Albums" button after "Scan Media" (just curious as to what would happen) and now there are a few albums I've never heard of from random names on my phone that weren't there before. Anyone know how to fix this?

Have you checked your sd card for new or modified folders that might contain the music?? They should be there some were if I'm not mistaken, any kind of music,pics or videos are stored on your internal or external sd.

I have and the files aren't playable somehow, I'm really not sure what's happening with it
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Just delete them and reboot.

Recently i installed Alliance b24 with a 64gig external was working great till I noticed pictures and videos were erasing overnight. I take pictures and videos straight to external. Also transfered all my music there but only half the songs are recognizable even though file explorer shows the file still there. If you know of a fix please help.

Simplest fix, and this is going to be an extreme pain, move all your files on your SD card to your computer, format the card within the rom and move everything back. That usually fixes any SD card issues I have ever had with a tw based rom.

I've had to replace 3 64gig cards messing with roms and TWRP recovery unfortunately.
Issues your having sounds very similar to weird problems I've encountered. But night time wasnt the problem lol
Try deleting a file and reboot is the file still there?
Try creating a file and reboot is the file there?
Do it from a PC using cable?
Do it from microsd adapter?
I've even reformatted using PC and phone to find all my files still there and untouched..
Nothing will fix it.. My only solution was copy data and replace on a new card and snap the old card in half for security reasons.
This was after using TWRP and Alliance/Beans roms I've had these issues with a 64gig sdcard. I'd blame it on TWRP somehow.
Sorry it's not a fix.
I did have twrp. But after ur coment switched to philz. Will try both fixes a nd report back. thanks for your input.
