Files from SD card not viewable - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Anyone have any issues with your SD card from your previous device not showing the files that are on it?
I know they are there because the card says 3 gigs free of 14....came from my Fascinate.

It could be formatting issues with the Sd card. Also sometimes Sd cards won't work going from one device to the other. Try transferring/backing up your files from the Sd card to your computer than reformat the Sd card, transfer you're backed up files to the freshly formatted Sd card. Finally put the Sd card back into your phone and you should be able to access your files.

and when you reformat the sd card(after saving to pc 1st), format to fat32 w/ active partition manager. not sure if youre rooted yet but this helps w/ cwm recovery. the exfat file system from windows and format sdcard feature w/ the phone gave me trouble.

+1 for formatting but don't format the internal sd card, my external sd got corrupt b4 and my phone recommended formatting and instead formatted the internal sd and I lost all my music and photos

Sd error

Hey chaps.
For quite some time I've been unable to access my external sd card via recovery. I use astro explorer and I can access emmc which doesn't make sense in my mind
When in recovery I can access internal sd but not the sd card itself. I get the "E: can't mount /sdcard/" error. If I manually try and mount the sdcard it says "Error mounting/sdxard:
Using latest siyah kernel. Remix res 1.8.1. 32gb micro sdxc
Any and all suggestions are valued.

Does your phone recognize the SD card?? If so go to settings, storage and format external SD card

Sorry for the delay guys. Found out it was simply a faulty sd card

Just flashed to TuchMi 3.0 from 2.0...Now the external SD card isn't showing up

It just keeps saying "SD card safe to remove" in the Notifications and when I go to "Storage' in Settings and try to mount the card, it says it's mounting it and then immediately goes back to "SD card safe to remove".
This also happens from a complete wipe and clean install of 3.0. This also happens if I take out the SD card and pop it back in.
The SD card is working on my computers. It's just the phone.

What's the format of your SD card? exFAT or FAT32?
Mine is exFAT and I think that's the issue. Is there any way to format an exFAT SD card to FAT32 from Android itself?

SD Card help?

So I reformatted my SD card to ext so I could root (or whatever one is needed to root). But I seems to always have a Damaged SD Card error up top. What do I do to fix this issue. Running a stock Rom on VZW....What should my card be formatted as. Its a ScanDisk Ultra 32GB card....
Try formatting it on a pc and/or your phone. If that doesn't work, you might have a dead card.
