Hello all, could not find this problem in search, so.
I bought a 32gb to replace the 8gb I was using, and im having trouble moving the files from .android_secure to the new card.
i copied files in usb mode from the galaxy to my computer and then swapped the sd cards , then tried to copy stuff back. but it just aint working , windows shows everything copys over except the .android_secure dir that is. my device will not recieve the files. and some other stuff in just plain dir's are not found when using root explorer. WTF is going on here.
Can anybody please help.

Have you tried doing all your copying on a PC? I mean, taking your 8GB to a PC... copying files to a temp folder. Putting the 32GB card into the PC and copying all your files to the new card. I have always done this and I had no issues with folders not copying properly.

Like the pserson above me said, have you tried on the PC? Also when you do copy it over on PC make sure that you have all administrative rights on your computer so it can go through.
I know this is a tad old, but A nandroid backup such as done by 4EXT Recovery or even ClockworkMod should backup the .android_secure folder/partition/etc (in 4EXT Recovery when you do a backup, it saves the boot, system, data, cache, sd-ext/sd-ext2 into a backup which can be then be copied over to a new card after you partition it how you want, then run the restore process).
Likewise you could probably tarball it via adb shell in order to transfer it across file systems that do not support linux permissions and ownership flags.
I've got a few films on my phone which play fine. But some won't show up on the pc as being on my phones sd card when I look at the folder. From what I can see the file types are the same as the ones that do show up.
I also have the problem that when I go to delete some files (some. Video some apk) they don't delete. It doesn't say there was a problem deleting them and the file size is 0 but the file name still shows. So they do not show up on pc do I delete them in the phone but they still show.
Hope this makes sense
Anyone?
Double post.
Don't know this could help
I have ever got this experience. I accidentally renamed some file(data) in phone Sd like original file name is "xxxx" to " .xxxx" after renamed I couldn't see that file from phone Sd even via PC(when usb connected) but I knew it still in Sd because it took lot of my internal Sd Space. I tried install root explorer app(your phone need rooted) and got into sd again now I could see that file then I could delete it successfully.
ive just tried to put a music track in a folder thats in my music folder in ext sd but its only showing a handfull of the folders.
so say i try to make a new folder and name it the same as the one im trying to put it in e.g "live" the folder wont rename . but i can rename it with a new name.
this is really winding me up
just noticed none of the things show up if i look vie kies either
a workable solution.....connect your SD to your PC via USB or SD slot....copy all SD content onto the PC....format the SD.....move it back to the phone....connect the phone to the PC via USB......move back the content to the SD
unmounted my sd , put it in my card reader , but my card reader must be faulty . put the sd back in the phone and all the files are showing up again lol
thanks for your help, i should have thought of that really
I need some help.
I had a 16 gig sd card in my phone with several nandroid backups on it. I copied the contents to my computer so I could then transfer the files to a new 32gig card. I connected the phone via usb and every time I tried to copy the files it would give me an error that the files could not be copied. It would start the transfer and then stop and give me the error.
I understand that I could use a card reader but I don't have one and I haven't needed one before. I usually just use the usb cable for transfers and I have never had an issue until now. It almost seems that it won't let it transfer large files and just times out.
Any help would be appreciated. I need to get the files transferred to the new card. Oh, I also tried to copy to the internal first so I could then transfer on the phone but I got the same error.
Thanks!

Airdroid or MyFiles
Try using the program airdroid. It is an awsome program. path to your sd card should be /mnt/extSdCard
if not push the files to your internal storage then use the My files app to move them to your sd card.

Are you copying the whole folder or contents of the whole folder and trying to do the copy all in one shot? If so, try breaking up the copying process into half or even 4 parts and see if that works. I have done exactly what you're trying to do with no problem.
I tried both ways and I think it has something to do with the file size. Small files transfer fine but larger ones time out. I actually used the Kies Air program that comes with the phone. Interesting program/concept. I ended up transferring the files separately to the internal and then moved to the extsdcard. It sucks we can't just transfer there like a normal disk drive.
Thanks for the responses!

Tried AirDroid and it doesn't recognize the extsdcard. Just the internal. Thanks though.
I read about someone using adb to do this. If someone wants to doublecheck this first try adb pull /mnt/extsdcard PLEASE double check before you do this, I just started experimenting with adb and I'm not by my computer to try it first.
