Go to settings->apps->all tab->media storage->clear data. Do it without your sd card in. Replace sd card and turn on phone and it will rescan the sd card correctly.
Back up anything in the /media stoage folder to your sd card before you do this.
Go to apps, all apps, find media storage and clear data, then reboot phone.
Problem solved.
Edit. Ya beat me by a min, lol.
Cheers

Is it possible to move the game's DATA Files from the phone's memory to the SD Card I bought?
I've tried to move them with the computer with a USB cable but when I did it the games cant find them and want to download them again..
I've tried to move them from the phone's settings (Move app to SD Card) but it didn't move the DATA Files, only the game itself..
Anybody? I dont have any free space on my phone but I dont want to remove apps and games....
Anybody..?
SEARCH button will help if question has been asked multiple times .

Thank you very much! After all my attempts I didnt think its possible to do it!
Suddenly my S III cannot see Ex. SDCard files! & it is showing an icon of sd card in the notification bar.
Going to settings>storage the card cannot be seen & the only available option is <Mount SD Card>!
I tried to get out my card & connect it to my tab. Unfortunately it is not seen as well which is pointing a problem with the card itself.
I also added a different card to my S III. it could be read normally!
I think it is clearly a problem with the card itself, but I wonder what might have caused it to happen! & if there is any way to restore saved files on the card.

Hi
1) You have a corrupted file system on your SDCard. Why ? I don't know. To solve the problem, try using one computer with Windows because SDCard use FATfs (completly support by Microsoft)
2) You have a broken SDCard, and no chance to restore your data. Sry !
Thank you!
You are completely right. Trying it through a normal windows PC is a good idea. I'll post back results once I do. Thank you again!

Hi xdians,
I'm experiencing such a weird problem with my 8gb SD card I guess.
I download a music with mp3 format and I can listen it, but after 5 minutes I can not listen the music, its not recognizing the music, it can't open the music file.
When I download an apk from web I can install it immediately after the download has finished, but after 5 or more minutes I can't install the apk, it says ,, there is error parsing the package" also the icon from the apk is changed into android icon.
One more problem... when I move an app from internal memory to SD card I can open it and play it, but after 5 minutes or so after closing the app, I can not open it again, it instant force close when I'm opening. Also in settings on Manage Applications the icon on the app that has been moved to SD card is removed.
This are the problems I'm facing, every help/opinion is very apprecied.
Thanks a lot!

First of all, backup apps using Titanium backup. Secondly, Backup any data on your SD card to a computer. Format your SD card, restore data and see if that works.

You can still use apps in internal right?
You might have to replace your SD card.
But first Flash stock firmware.
Did this happen all of a sudden? Or did something happen.

Yes in internal I can use apps without any problem.
All of sudden I guess, I'm using custom miui rom with cm7 kernel.
And how do you mean replace my SD card? Use a new one or unmount>format>mount from stock rom?

He means go for new SD card
See if you had tried all possible methods for recovering like formatting and all so if now no option is left then go for new SD Card
Every time I try to download anything the default location is the internal sd card. I try to switch it to choose the external sd card but it says "Can't find file or directory. Please make sure your SD card is ready, and USB Mass Storage is turned off."
I can not find the setting for the USB Mass Storage. But I'm able to see the sd card and see the folders and files I have on there with ES File Explorer.
Any help on this! Thanks!

Solved the problem but it requires root. See my tutorial.

In KitKat, write access to external SD card is blocked, you need to wait for a dev to MOD the system to allow for writing to external SD card.

Try using the My Files app that is built in. As it is not third party it should have full access to the SD card
Gladyscoleman said:
You need to install application from Google play store. Apps names are MY File and ES File Explorer File Manager . its a internal application for android and with the help of this you full access of SD Card.
In case of any further assistance please feel free to contact.
Thank you.

I experience a similar problem with a rooted Lenovo 790. It can always see phone memory, but occasionally can't see the SD card. Rebooting does not help. The only way I've found to overcome this is to physically remove the SD card and replace it, then reboot the phone.
