I don't see the option to reformat in the sd card and storage section. Any help is appreciated.

Until root, the only way I know is factory reset. In settings when you select it, it also has a option for clear storage. You have to select it before it shows.
Edit: you can also try unmounting SD card erase, and then remount the card. Should automatically format.

ROM manager will allow you to reformat it every which way but loose.
[edit
damn little keyboards
I just moved majority of Apps over to sd and starting snapping pics saving to sd.... No format. What could possibly happen now? Lol.

If you bought it new, it came out of the package formatted and ready to use. Just put it in and go, after copying over the stuff from your old card of course.
Format or paritition? To format connect phone to usb connect to computer, when the phone screen asks for disc drive or charge only, select disc drive. Your computer will read it as a drive. Hit start menu, scroll up to computer click on it. Should show a couple drives, most likely the phone will be d: g: or f: NOT c: right click the drive scroll down to format and you are done. This is for windows.

Maybe your EXT partition is bad if you make it..
try one of sd speed boost apps from market
This is one of Gingerbread bugs. You can solve it - format card in FAT mode.
Is that just one time only? On the computer side, retry after plugging it into another port because your device might not've been recognized as USB 2.0 (It happens sometimes if it wasn't a clean mount or if your OS is windows), if that doesn't work, it might be a problem with your SD card's filesystem. Check it accordingly. If it ain't, try rebooting. Both. Either that or your drivers got screwed up (OR your card's just getting ready to say goodbye).

Does file explorer find the sd card? Is the sd shown as mounted in the settings?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Yes it finds it, its just every time I time I try to download something from one of those downloading sites, it just goes to memory card does not exist. Is my sd car corrupted or something?

Well you might need to format your sd card, or not use third party markets...

How do you reformat your card? Do I lose everything that is saved on my card when I do?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yes, a reformat wipes the sd. To reformat you can do it from recovery by mounting sd and formating or from the settings menu

Please download another app from Android market and see if this error also appears.
Thats the weirdest part about this. I can download from the market just fine, its just gives me the memory card does not exist when I go to download a zip from one of those file sharing sites.

Is it possible that the problem comes from the the app itself, maybe you can try another app from the same site or another one from the shared links. It happens to me sometime, and I will just let it go and try something else.
Thats what I thought too but thats not it. It gives me that error whenever I download from any of those file sharing sites. I tried to download Roms, Music, Etc with no luck... It just keeps saying Memory Card Does Not Exist.

Epic Life, Epic Phone... It all makes sense to me.
my memory card is corrupt and does not show any respond and shows insert disk into dirve and did try the tricks still having the same problem .. so how can i make it use ful
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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
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.

Can you access your files via USB to your computer?
If you're using an app like root explorer make sure you are in read/write and not read only.
Also, you may need to unmount or remount your sdcard partition.

I can thru pc but not on tablet. Theres no unmount its built in. I cant see pictures thru gallery either just shows blank thumbnails

Ok I would copy all of the data on internal memory over to your PC first and foremost.
Once you've verified it's all copied over and safe, make a nandroid backup and save it to your computer.
Remove all external media, and then do a factory reset by powering up with volume down, skipping over the press up for recovery so it goes to the bootloader and then do the full internal wipe factory reset all the way to the left side of the icons. Then reboot your tablet, your same Rom should be installed and running. Once you reboot go into recovery and in recovery wipe data, cache, dalvic cache, and system and then flash your Rom and reboot. Drop just a few pics or something on your internal sd card as a test and if it works copy it all back over.

Worked perfect! THANK YOU

Wow this worked very well for too! Better than having to try the other method of wiping. Now i can sell this tablet and move on with my life. Had a good time with it but its very unstable for everyday use.
Half the time I lose access to my other sd cards and it comes up with these funky files and have to reformat it.
Oh well but thanks for the advice

Seems that I have no room left on my phone storage & tons of space left on my SD card. How can I get my phone to put everything on the card, by default??
Would this work: if I hook my phone up to my PC, then just took all the folders on my phone storage, and moved them to the Card. Would my apps & stuff still work or would doing that not be good??

I don't think just copying the apps will allow them to work. You can use Application Manager to move some apps to the sd card.
I went thru all my apps & moved whichever ones I was able to move. But I did that a long time ago. So I still have no room on my phone storage.

Move photos, downloads and any music on your phone to your SD card too. Then in your camera app go to settings and change the SD card as default.
Download the free version of SD Maid and use it to clean up old thumbnails and program files still on your phone from before you moved them.
I once deleted 2gb of photo gallery thumbnails from my phone with this app. You can also see which files are the largest on your phone and SD card to see if you can move or delete anything.
I have this app on my phone, tab, and my kids tabs to keep up with their memory and storage usage.

Thanks, I'm also running out of space, I'll give this a shot.
Tonight I was gonna try to just backup all my.stuff and then start over. I use GO launcher and I saw that I have GO backup on my phone, so I was gonna try to.use that. I started the app & it said my SD card is corrupted or damaged. I included a screenshot of what it said:
So would this be the reason why everything is on my internal storage instead of my card? Or is that message just something I.should ignore??

If you have a card reader unmount your SD card, take it out and try reading it on a computer. If you can read it I would copy everything off and put in a temporary folder on your desktop. Then format the card with the computer and put it back in the phone, format it using the phone and try your back-up again.
If it works put the card back in your computer and copy your files back. Be sure to unmount the card each time. Mine went corrupt once because I didn't.
How do I make the SD card, the default storage for everything? Or is that not possible...
