When you say on SD card, is it the internal or external

I have a 16gb external sd card, the fix is that i need to re trigger a media scan, but i need to see all apps to do so and i cannot find it in settings at all!
Install Titanium and wipe data of Media Storage. Before chech that there are no ".nomedia" in your music folders.

All apps is there, just swipe your hand to the left after the running apps
alternatively, you can use "Rescan Media Root" to retrigger the media scanner process.

If that's where all your music is, then it may also be a problem with cm9. It happened with a few devices and I know they are working to fix it

Have you tried any newer or older cm version? Perhaps this was fixed or broken in certain builds.

Just had a question to put out there. Flashed the Gummy ICS ROM, everything went fine, smooth, fast. Really liking it. Two problems I ran into which I have never had flashing roms. My gmail app will not install, I get an error and my sixteen Gb ext. sd card with stuff on it has gone missing. It doesn't show up in any file explorer on the phone or when mounting it to my computer. Thanks
i am on gummy but i do not have any of those issues. external sd is emmc. i use the miui file explorer and enable root in the settings, its much easier for me because all i have to do is click 1 button and choose emmc. i dont use gmail but maybe you have the wrong GAPPS installed? which GAPPS are you using?
I am on gummy also. I had to flash twice. After the second time my comp doesn't recognize ext sd (emmc). It is really important that you flashed gapps or a lot of functions won't work!
What are you looking at shortbus......
Gummy
The problem seems to be something with the google play store I have because I can't intall any apps from it. I did flash the gapps. Still no ext sd card. Maybe will re flash rom. Everything else is great. This is the first time I have had any issues to resolve after flashing.
Partial fix
So the issue with installing apps from the play store is fixed. Re flashed rom and gapps. Still no external memory card.
does your computer see your phone at all?
missing ext sd

Just to clarify, your computer doesn't recognize ext sd ? Can you access files from ext SD on phone ie music, pics? Can you access ext SD file on root browser? I'd like to figure the issue out.
What are you looking at shortbus......
What are you doing on Gummy?
It's like me using a leaked 2.2 ROM
Use something like CM9 from this month or AOKP from this month.

My computer is an iMac and all other roms until Gummy, showed up as two separate drives on my desktop and in finder. It's not too big of a deal breaker on the rom. just weird. i store music, pictures, and movies on it. I mostly stream pandora, slacker, and music from the online storage on my amazon player so the extra storage is not that big of a loss. I will keep messing with it and see what happens. I was able to get to the files from the phone today through file manager. This was the path /mnt/emmc. It's like the file scanner is not finding it when booting and scanning. Thanks
Good gummy!
All is good with gummy rom. Somewhere along the way messing with things I mounted the emmc in CWM recovery. That must have solved it. Pictures,music, and movies are working and they are only on that card. Never had to do that on any other roms. Thanks for the concern and help.

for some reason the stock gallery app isn't picking up photos that i have in a folder called 'pictures' on my internal memory but quickpic does and same thing with music where the default player doesn't pick any music up (on external 32GB SD Card) whereas the PowerAmp does...anybody got any ideas why??
i'm on Omega V27.1 btw and latest Siyah Kernal

hi!
try going to recovery and wipe all your caches/dalvik cache first.. if that does not help, perhaps doing a factory reset would do the job (don't forget to backup!)
I hope this helps cheers!

yup tried that too
Put a stock rom on or live with the problem .
jje
Poweramp and QuickPic uses their own scanners to look for files, while Gallery and Music player uses Android's built in Media Scanner. Grab Terminal Emulator and run "rm /storage/sdcard0/.nomedia /storage/sdcard0/Pictures/.nomedia /storage/sdcard0/Music/.nomedia". Clear the data of Media Storage, restart or force rescanning of your media with an app like Rescan Media or SDRescan.
P.S. When coming to any forum with a problem, it's nice to list what you've already tried to fix your problem so that people don't, you know, waste their time.
Hey guys!
I have a problem and I search on the internet for days but I can't find a solution of this. So I have to write it down here. I hope someone can help me with this one.
So...the story. I had ICS on my phone, but I flashed with an official JB. So it's a stock rom, all i did with it just a rooting method. So it's stock but it's rooted. My problem is that all of my audio players (stock, winamp, early poweramp) can't see my sd card. All of my other apps can see it, but non of the audio players. I had a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 before the I9100, and that one and the Samsung Galaxy I9100 with ICS could see the external SD, because when I entered in my internal SD I could see a folder named ext-sd. It was a "link" to my external sd, so I can quickly access to it. Now on JB the folder is gone. I think the solution is that I make the "link" again. It's just a guess, I am a simply user so if you guys have an idea for this issue, please tell me cause it's a real pain in my ass :-S So all I want is my audio players can read my ext SD. Waiting fo the suggestions!
Have a nice day!

In the file manager goto /mnt/extSdCard
Ok I see the folder there with my file manager, but my problem is that my audio player can't see... I just see the "sdcard0". Unfortunately this is not solve my problem. But thank you anyway

I also had similar problems when I tested out your experience,in an another device I found that in JB the Music Player is not detecting from the ext-sd card or internal sd card, the thing I did was backup all data and formatted both the memory, I think it may be related to the filesystem settings but whatever a wipe and restore saved the day.
What i did
1.Made a nandroid backup
2.Copied all data from sdcard and ext-sdcard
3.Copied everything to PC
4.Performed complete wipe
5.Restored nandroid and copied data back as it was
6.Everything aright, crisis averted.
Thank you so much! I hope it gonna works. I will check it today!

Tough luck, then maybe the issue is with the media scanner?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I, after a series of reading has found that there is in fact a media scanner error in JB which causes similar problems like Gallery not updating, music player not updating, some of these people resolved this issue by using the app rescan media root to terminate media scan at boot time, and then by manually running scanner through that app to update your Gallery/Music Player, try this procedure, there is a flashable zip to fix this for deodexed roms.

Ok, so I have a Incredible 4g. I also have a 32 GB sd card that I use in it. But when i download music from a third party app such as "Music Download Paradise PRO" it stores it on the internal phone storage. Now i am not exactly a N00b with android, and I know that ANDROZIP is a great app to have on your phone. The app tells me I have 4.5 GB of storage which is the size of the built in phone stoage. On the SD card i have about 9 GB free. Also when I plug my phone into the computer and choose disk drive, i get 2 to choose from the HTC built-in storage and the SD card. Is there anything i can do to fix this?

If you move the app from internal storage to your SD card, does it still save music to internal storage?
Settings > Applications > (find Music Download Paradise PRO) > Move to SD card

No, HTC has put a block on this. You can go in the internal storage using Androzip, but when you try to move it to sd_ext then it says "Androzip has stopped working".

Yes, the only two places i can move it are between the phone storage and internal storage, both of which are not the 32 GB sd card.

Oh, yes, this is the case. I'm not sure why I got stuck thinking this would move apps to MicroSD. It moves them to /sdcard/.android_secure. Unless you can find something that works better than Androzip, I believe the earlier suggestion by jose51197 to use a swap-storage-mod is the only option. Sorry to hear you aren't interested in unlocking your phone.

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
