Bought a Nook Tablet and got it to sideload. Downloaded several Amazon Books and Apps. Installed a 32 gb SD card.
When I ran a file mgt program it asked if I wanted to move about 12 apps to the SD card. I agreed to move two to see what would happen.
What happened is that it moved both off the tablet altogether. One app went to the Amazon Cloud. The other app I had to re install from the app store. The card is mounted and recognized fine. I just can't use it for anything on it.
The nook set the card up with folders and some files. Everything should load onto the card especially when masked and moved by the File Mgt program. (ZD Tools and the same happened with Astro)
What is happening? Anyone know what to do to make the card a fully functional data location?

I have an 8 gig sd card on my Nook Tablet on which I have side-loaded apps. I was wondering how I can upgrade to a larger sd card. Do I have to transfer the apps to the new card? And how would I do that? Or do I have to reinstall all of the apps that have been saved to the card?
You should be able to just copy the contents of the old card to your new card. You could also copy the contents to a folder on your PC, and then copy the folder contents to a new card.
A fine point

Do you have the apps actually INSTALLED on the SDcard (this requires some tweaking of settings), or did you download the .APK files onto your SDcard and install them from there?
In the latter case, your apps were installed to the 12GB partition on the internal memory, that is reserved for the installation of apps. In this case you do not need to keep the .APK files on the SDcard.
Simply copying it over (plug nook in -> copy sd card to pc -> switch out card -> recopy OR remove card -> copy to new card (I'd recommend this)) will work fine. I've done it on several cards (I use several cards - large comic and video library etc, travel, and important apps and folders are replicated on each cards). I also have a cute microsd card holder (from sdcardholder.com I think) that holds a bunch of cards I'd normally be misplacing, so handy!
I prefer to keep apps installed on the nook's internal memory (because why not?), so using something like Titanium backup (I think? or maybe another app manager) to move any that automatically install to an sd card is handy.
Thanks for the replies. I thought that I would be able to copy as you guys suggested. I just wanted to be sure. As for where the apps are installed to, I believe the Amazon apps that are side-loaded need to go on the sd card for some reason, so that's why I was concerned.
It sounds like connecting by the cable to the pc and then transfering the sd card files there and then to the new card would be the best bet. Less of a chance for mistakes or corruption.
I copied music files & pictures from my pc onto the same sd card that was used in the rooting process of my nook tablet. After the sd card war re-inserted into the nook, it lost all the root capabilities...(apps/launchers, everything) I did a hard re-boot & re-rooted the nook. Now I'm concerned how to get music, pics & videos to my nook. HELP!
That is very weird , yesterday i did the same i even removed files and moved all my files from one sdcard(the one used when i rooted) to a bigger sdcard and all is working well, are you booting your nook from the sdcard method or any other hint that you can give because that behavior is not normal.
Did you make sure you did not get the 1.4.1 update maybe thats what it was.

I rooted a month ago. Indirect's method wanted an SD card, but nothing was on the carcass. I have pictures and music and no problems. I don’t know how you rooted. Please read the rooting threads so you understand what you are doing. It may be. That you overwrote some files. All the root files should be on the tablet and not the SD.
If you used a bootable SD to root you should use a different card or reformat before putting music and pictures.
Just my opinion and thoughts.

Hello!
I received my new phone(EVO 3d) and I just love this phone. Taking photos has never been better .
But to the point, I have a problem with app2sd and with sd card itself. When I moved apps to sd and in some time, those apps I moved didn't show anymore. I check in application tab and there they were but without icon of app just black img with android symbol and sd card next to it. How to solve this?
Another problem is with SD card. I bought gameloft games(Amazing spiderman) and it has 1.2gb download files. But phone got only 1gb primary storage. So I downloaded sd files over internet and moved on sd card and game launch without problem? How to does sd card works with this phone? I see when I connect my phone to computer there is only 1 disk for everything(with sd and internal). I had samsung galaxy s before so its a lot differend, because sgs had 5gb internal + 1gb storage + 16gb sd.
Hope someone can help
Cheers
The missing icon on app is something that was fixed with one of the Gingerbread updates about nine months ago. What ROM are you running?
When I connect my phone to my computer, it shows the full amount of my sd card as a drive. I do not even see the internal memory.
I have using stock 4.0.2 OTA since I got this phone 4 days didn't root yet cuzz this s-off etc. is kinda annoying to do(for now ).
However I fixed the problem. I was searching on google and someone mentioned that app2sd makes a folder on sd that you shouldn't delete! I did delete cuzz I needed space for downloading movie. So if anyone got this problem, dont delete folders in sd.
Cheers
Hi folks
here's my problem: I have my NT setup to run CM7 straight from a 32GB SD (the card is accordingly partitioned). Everything works great, really. However, since the Nook app is my favourite reader I would like to use that. Yet - afaik - it can't be directed to the path where I have my ebooks stored (the SD card partition on the SD card in my case).
Here then my question:
Does anyone know where I have to put my ebook files, so the Nook reader app sees them and puts them in its library?
Or is there actually a way to have the files stored on the SD card and have any reader app access that path?
Cheers and thanx for your help.

Yep. You've already installed the Nook for Android app, correct? If so, you should be able to use any file explorer to copy your eBooks to the folder Nook\MyDocuments. Anything you put in that file (assuming, of course, that it's a file format that Nook can handle) will show up in your Nook app until the "My Files" and "All Items" pull down menus.

Hi all!
I am using a ZTE Majesty Pro LTE Tracfone (Z798BL), and I am running stock android 6.0.1 un-rooted. (Can't update it. It just shows latest version.) ZTE blocks users from formatting SD cards as adoptable, but I was able to do so through ADB. The only problem is, only one app can be moved to the SD card. With the other apps, It just doesn't show the Move to SD Card button. Is there any way to move more apps to the SD card?
Thanks!:
How did you manage to enable Adoptive Storage on this phone? I really hate that they disabled it.
If you can help me enable Adoptive Storage, I'll check to see if I run into the same problem.
Some of the reasons why you can't move an app to external is because it might be a system app? I have Adoptive Storage on my old previous phone active, and I come to learn that I can't move every single app to external. It really sucks. At least back before Marshmallow came out with the feature Adoptive Storage, I used Link2SD. Now that, I vaguely remember being able to move literally every app but it was recommended to not move the system apps. However, Link2SD required root. Last I check years ago, they never updated it for Marshmallow.
Adoptive Storage I noticed only is useful because if it's a game your installing, it'll automatically be installed on the external MicroSD card, while everything else the smaller apps gets installed internally, and it's tedious to go to through each one to check if you can manually move it to external.
I honestly don't remember. I used some tutorial with adb commands. I hate that zte blocked this on this phone, and then send the phone with 8gb.
