Reboot then check the video player? The reboot is to run the media scanner.
Go to Home screen /apps/video player..... Tabs on top choose list...... It shows all videos ready to play regardless of where they are on the phone.....
Good luck
The....but I doesn't show up on my phone or tab unless I open Google player... I want to make sure it's on my sd card, but can't figure it out

If you downloaded it ...it should be in your downloaded folder in your sdcard or internal...I would check both downloaded folders

Can you pull your micro SD from the note.. and look at it on your PC??
Or hook up to Kies on your PC,,, and explore your internal and external sd's...??

I was wondering how to copy the FULL MOVIE of avatar to my girlfriends sd card from mine? I am asking because she accidently deleted her copy????
I just bought a new SD card and copied the old one directly to it. Avatar plays from my new card just fine.
Dunno if there's some copy protection linked to the phone or just you have to have a Vibrant to play it.
I also moved from my 2GB SD Card to my 8GB without any problems.
As Col. stated though, I don't know if it'll work on another phone.

Ok,so while I am glad that it worked for the both of you,I still do not know how to do it.
So can one of you walk me through the steps in doing it? lol Thanks guys.
When you mount your phone through usb it'll open two auto play windows. One with a folder that says movie and the other your sd card. Find the avatar dcf file and copy it to your hard drive. Then unmount your phone and connect your girls phone and copy the movie to her movie folder. Done.

You can apparently play it on any Vibrant. The copy from my first Vibrant plays fine on my replacement.
Ok guys,so here's the deal.
I was able to get the movie back on my girls phone and it played,but tell me if you also have this problem.
Does yours also now only play from your gallery movie folder and not the avatar icon? Weird. I'm sure a factory reset will make it work again but just don't wont to do that at the moment.
Thanks vibrant fam!

create a folder in you sdcard and name it Movie. Put the movie in there. Your external sdcard... and the movie should play by pressing the icon.
So what if I renamed it avatar instead of movie? Do u think that could be why it does not play from the icon?

Yea, I believe so. The actual movie has to be inside your sdcard in a folder called "Movie" if not, the app will not find the directory it's looking for.
Ok so thats what im doing when I get home(renaming folder). Ill let u know if it works.

Ok,it worked. I renamed it back to "movie" and now the avatar icon plays the movie as well. Thanks for the help!
That's a huge chunk of space in your SD card....I just moved mine over to my phone's 16 GB of storage. Yeah the "app" doesn't work, but I can launch it from the video player just fine.
OK guys! Now don't hate me. I know this has probably been asked many times before. So don't hate me, just looking for help. I download a lot of my music from the app called " mp3 music downloader". My question is " all my songs are being put into my USB storage not my external SD card. I have a 32 gig SD card that I want all my music to download too. Well one is how do I move all my music files from my USB to SD storage? and 2 how do I set it up that whenever I download music it automatically goes on my external SD card? Thank you to anyone that is willing to help a newbie.

I believe in the USB settings you must select, "mass storage mode" when connected
When you plug your note into your computer- if you run windows autoplay should recognise 2 seperate forms of storage. Usueally drive," I: " is your external SD
You can open both and simply recognise the difference between the two and your computer will recognise the amount of storage on both there is. So it should be easy to identify your external SD
For your sake, if your transferring music or anything for that matter organize it on your computer into folders- although generally the note recognizes the entire card with or without orginization; I just prefer not to mix my music with my backups in the same place
If you have any further questions feel free to PM me!

Wait nvm there's an easier way. Go to the ssettings of the app and change the directory to your external SD
From your phone download an app called astro file manager
Fine where your music is, cut and paste it to your external SD
What I described above is for the transfer of files through a computer but you can use your phone! Ignore my first post

Thank you so much for the quick reply. I did want to know how to do this from the phone only. I also went into setting under my music app mp3 music downloaded. There is no selection. Probably a ****ty app. But works great. I will try astro file manager. But does this mean every time I download a song I will basically have to do a copy and paste deal?

No no! Well, I'm sure the music app supports different completed download directories. Otherwise that's gonna be your best bet but ill look into it!

Well I checked the music app I use. Under settings there's no selection for where the music fies are downloaded. It automatically puts it in usb storage. I'm going to have to try another music app. Thanks for the help. But I did move all the files to the external SD card. Using Astro file manager. I'd like using this music app because it has the american billboard chart I can just pick the songs rather than typing and thinking of the song or searching.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I use that app and Your right there's no way to change the file location. Once a month I just do a cut and paste to my SD card. Its the only solution I've found.

Hello! How well does a Galaxy S3 play with Mac OS X? I saw that Kies is avaliable for Mac OS X, so syncing multimedia shouldn't be a problem. But are there any problems or missing features I should be aware of?
Thanks, zlayaa
Kies works fine. Or just use android file explorer which is a free download and your phone shows up as a usb and you can drag and drop.
Also Kies allows to sync music pics and videos as well as backup of apps so I guess it does have everything

I think there is also Easy Sync to migrate your possible iOS phone data to your S3. It also enables using one of your iTunes backups.
www.3g.co.uk/PR/June2012/samsung-easy-sync-easily-transfer-content-from-iphone.html
You can also drag and drop items from iTunes into Kies...movies, music, playlists, etc.
Tapped That

No way, Macs are far superior
I hope it helps. I have posted a way to sync all your music and playlists from itunes into your ext-SD card of your GS3 wired (usb cable much faster than wifi). I have included it into a thread called "why can't sync my music playlist " (samsung Galaxy S III I9300> Galaxy S III Q&A)

Samsung didn't do anything... The SD card is faulty because I am having the same problem now. I still need to test it though.
EDIT- Using Cyanogenmod10?? I was using that and today morning i flashed back to stock ROM and apparently sd card is working now.
Try unmounting and re-mount it. might help.
Unmount works Lol thanks mat8

Your devise cannot play any media with stock media player while media scan is running ( small sd card sign at notification bar). Let it complete to play media files like music and videos. Once scan completed you can play any media.

I have this exact same problem. I don't mind playing my music/videos from a file manager, but this also disables my freaking CAMERA. Trying to open my camera/video recorder just gives the same "Try again after media scanning complete" error message, even though the media scanner is not running.
Do I need to create some more folders on the SD card? Probably just going to try formatting and trying again, but I am so sick of doing that with this phone. If LG didn't make it practically unusable by default, it wouldn't be necessary D:<
Well guys i switched my internal and external sd and my phone scans at boot. At this second im going to try and run stock media player and see if my music shows up.. brb
Update.. my stock media player is Sh*t now and just scans usb.. im guessing cuz i switched my memories? One thing i havent tried is putting my sd card music files onto my internal sd card music folder. The only reason im not pressed to fix the issue is because the media player i downloaded is better than stock player and soon JB will be out for p769 so ill have to switch internal/external memory again. I think then my stock player will play. Its weird tho my stock player should simply scan for music files on device and sd card. Idk whats so hard about that

Can you post the forum/thread where you got your information about swapping external with internal sd. I want to know because i might be able to help. I know of two threads, and i combined information from both and everything has been working fine.

I got mine working without a format. I was using RemountSD and a script running from SManager.
I had to go into RemountSD and change to the settings posted by arman4o in the "App data on external SD" L9 thread:
arman4o said:
Try RemountSD
ICS Settings:
Interne SD - /mnt/sdcard
External SD - /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
Target external SD card - /mnt/sdcard
JB Settings:
Interne SD - /storage/Sdcard0
External SD - /sorage/Sdcard0/external_sd
Target external SD card - /storage/sdcard0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
These settings in RemountSD took care of my media scanning issues (as soon as I rebooted the media scanner started up, when before it was freezing), and now I can use my camera again.
Unfortunately now my 32gb microSD card is no longer showing as my primary internal storage. In fact, it's not showing up at all. But at this point I already have all the large games installed to the microSD that I needed (and even though it doesn't show up under storage, the games still work), so I am just going to wait until a JB 769 ROM before I mess with all this crap again.
