Hi. Is there anyway to do this? When I hit make available offline it only shows the internal space not my sd space.
I wish I could help, I can't. I have 18,000 songs on my desktop. After 30 hours, 2800 of them were actually moved. Co-worker has a little over 10,000 and he told me it took him 6 days.
Not to mention, I cannot put 73Gb on my phone. I have been using ZumoCast for a day now. Love it! update in my MotoCast Thread!

Since day one I have had an SD card in my phone and it has been having issues with WIFI causing the cell radio to lock up. I also noticed the "lag" on the phone when swiping through the home screens and especially when open and closing emails.... So I removed the SD card because I had copied over some very large videos from it that I took and forgot to put the card back in. So far today my phone opens and closes email super fast and the browser is crusing along faster, and even simply swiping through my home screens is WAY faster and snappier.
So is there a direct issue with the SD card? it is a no name HC Class 6 8Gb card that was formatted in my photon twice now. I snagged it off of ebay about a year ago.
Also in the battery use panel all kinds of stuff is showing up that has never shown up in there before. com.motorola.com, motorola services, motorola.contacts, com.android.phone and a few others but I have never seen any of these in the battery usage until today. Is this all due to the SD card??? major confusion here on how it could effect the phone so much.
try factory reset.
I can tell you for a fact, not all SD cards are alike! Stick with SanDisk! I have a 32Gb Class 2, I got a 32Gb No Name Class 6. My SanDisk blew it out the water as far as performance. I (we at the job) kept that no name disk for a mear 3 hours or so before packing it back up and sending it back.
Definitely stick with SanDisk/Kingston. I've heard of problems you are having before back when I had the CDMA HTC Hero.

Done this already about 5 times since owning the phone, via both the Android settings and Android recovery. Did that due to a huge issue I am having with the phone already, but am wondering if the SD card may be the cause.

As for speed I can see that, but how would an SD card actually slow a phone down when nothing is even using the card. My phone is like a totally different phone today. When I get home I'll throw it back in there and see what happens. My back button has always been really laggy, but now it is instant.
Very odd.
Get your hands on aLogCat, as I'm curious to see if there's anything there that would indicate root cause.
I also wonder/speculate whether you have something else running in the background that is constantly scanning your SD card, such as a media player looking for files to index.

I need to do the logcat anyway for the other major issue I am having with the cell radio. I have a video of it screwing up but need to edit out some personal stuff first.
But as for apps the only thing loaded is the google music player from the market. I'm not a big music buff and have no need for all the fancy players out there.
Could be my card but only after I performed my 1st reset, this Houdini act started.
The content is still on the card but the Music & Gallery application will randomly decide you don't have any. Of course I panicked at 1st, even with a backup on the PC but looking in Astro file manager, it was all still there.
A little annoying.
Edit:
WTF, only Astro sees the content. Google Music didn't either.

I have a somewhat similar problem in that the phone reads the card but not the music.
Mine was after a restart as well (though it wasn't by choice, I was out Saturday night and pulled my phone out to see that it had reset and recovered from an error and wanted to send a report to HTC).
I assume you haven't made any headway on yours without a post, I tried removing and reseating the SD card but it didn't help. It reads the space correctly and everything, but nothing will read the MP3s on there.
Kind of annoying, really liked rocking out with the Beats on this phone.
U guys using the HTC app and what not? My phone has yet to have pics or music disappear.... Have you taken everything off your sd card did a scan for bad sectors on it and then did a full format on windows then on the phone...

It does come back eventually but it could be either bad sectors, the way the OS scans the new SD location or the card speed is slow. Like right now, everything is working fine. I might clean the card & keep the mp3s & pics on the root of the card.
I was going to get an 64GB sxdc card before the month is out.

Try this app out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascanner&hl=en
It'll force the OS to rescan the memory for media files.
If all else fails, try this. I had to do this when running into a similar issue.
Are you guys using quality sd cards or knock-off! I ran into similar problems with cheap eBay knock-offs.
I buy genuine SanDisk now and never have sd trouble anymore!

The card in my case is a 32GB SanDisk (no class listed) from Verizon.
Tried both & still getting a headache over it. Pissed that Astro has no problem seeing it but Gallery & Music play peek-a-boo with my content.
I seem to be the only one having this issue so I guess it's the speed of the card maybe? I hope anyway.
For now I moved my Photos & Music to the phone's 9GB.
I am having a similar issue. I've had my EVO LTE for 7 days and bought a new 32GB microsd card for it as well. After almost every restart or power off my sd card will unmount and I have to go into settings to remount it.
This also sometimes happens after the phone has been sitting for several hours, such as when I woke this morning (this is rare).
In my case it is either mounted and all date intact or NOT mounted and therefore inaccessible. The same card works fine in my EVO 3D so i'm thinking this is a bug in the ROM or perhaps the port for the card.
I'm LOVING this phone... getting great battery life, can't keep it out of my hands but there are a few annoying minor bugs so far but I do not regret purchase at all.
I have hardware version 003 and also suffer from the WiFi sleep bug even though I have it set to never sleep and have dedicated it to a single frequency (it sleeps whether on 2.4 or 5GHZ dedicated).
Beginning to wonder if this ROM has some issues managing services after prolonged idle times.
Via Settings>Storage
I formatted my card through HTC's Storage options in settings (done by 1. UnMount & 2. Earse Storage Card) & moved my music & photos from Phone Storage to Storage card.
I noticed Android will auto create folders so hopefully this act means things will work as intended.
So far so good.
I used this option exclusively to move the files rather than moving them by other means.
So far so good. Expecting the worst every 15 minutes, lying with the claim that I have nothing.
I had an issue with Google music not seeing mp3s on my sd card. Going to settings and erasing the cache/data fixed it.

This worked great!. thanks for the help
Still doesn't work for me :'( I guess no music for me
Happened to me with my music and some photos after a reset or fresh flash..I noticed that for.some reason the files moved to internal storage ..I just copied and pasted the whole file where the music and photos were located to where the they were on my sd card..and it worked..I'm not used to having internal storage..taking a little while to get used to
Sd Card
I had this happen yesterday. Music and gallery disappeared. I am using the 8 gig card from my ogevo4g. I believe the problem is the card slot. If you push the card all the way down into the slot the intermittent disappearing of gallery and music happens. I pulled the card and put it back in but not pushing it all the way to the bottom of the slot and no more issues.
I love the phone but I'm not sure the htc build quality is there on this one like it was with the original evo?
My pny 32gb micro sdhc from the original batch several years back just crapped out on me. Didnt have a copy. Lost a ton... Years worth of stuff.
Dont let it happen to you guys. We all backup our apps/messages/roms... Dont forget your memory card too. Its a crappy feeling.

By now I figured everyone made a backup of the memory card every few months. Guess I was wrong. Sucks you lost everything.

yea, I learned that lesson years ago.
right now, I have FOUR defective sandisk 64 gig cards sitting here.
they will be warranty replaced, but that doesn't help you if the data isn't backed up some where.
Hopefully if you let the card sit and try later you will get some of those files back. If you do get into the card only transfer one file at a time. Multiple transfers are much more likely to fail on a dying card.
Good luck
Dropbox backs up my photos whenever I'm in wifi. Nothing else is worth anything to me. Just roms and music files

I keep my entire music collection (~35gb) stored with Dropbox just for that reason. Plus, if you use iTunes, you can put the library file there and use it on multiple computers.
I received a replacement s4 (again...) and now I cannot write to my SD. Says that it is write protected.
I don't have an adapter to try the switch, is there any way I can fix this (I don't care if I lose what is on card, I have already backed it up)
Search for kit kat sd card problem. I guess your answer is there.
I removed the card (for the 10th time at least) and this time i blew into the "slot" on the phone where it goes in and reinserted card...no problems...
weird.
Bumping my old thread here. Issue has came back (never really know when it started again...went to put music on and it happened)
What's very weird is that at times I can get it to act normal. Once I deleted all my music, added 14 different music folders one at a time (6 GB total), then it came up with the write protection error. Original music I started with is back. I redeleted my music and added one folder. I went on my phone to see if I could actually play a song and I could. I reconnected the phone to the PC and moved another folder over. I checked this time and I am back to my original music. Do I just have a bad SD card - it's a Sandisk 64GB that I bought when the s4 launched 2 years ago.
ok, i havent had a single issue with my phone until yesterday. i tried to take a pic and i got the message of "cannot save". so i restarted the phone. once i did that, some pics i took the night before and had deleted - came back. since yesterday when this has happened, i have deleted said pics a total of 6 times. i also cannot move pics at all from one folder to another. i have all of my pic folders on the sd card. i have plenty of room on that sd card as well (way over half of its space left). anybody else run into this? how can i correct it with out losing pics? thanks in advance

How old is your SD card?

only about a year old. all of my music is on that card as well and so far no issues with the music. only issues is with pic taking and managing.
Not on this phone, but had once a corrupted SD, which did the same. Was reading data, but could not write.
I suggest to try out a different SD (if you have one laying around). If that works, copy all of your content from the current SD to a computer and try to reformat it.
