Copy everything off your SD card to a computer. Format the SD card then copy it back. It will scan teh media again, but once all scanned, the bug will seem to have disappeared.
Its a bug sometimes when you flash a ROM, it keeps scanning the old data on your sdcard. There are root applications to stop scanning but this is usually unnecessary.
Please post questions in the Q&A forum, not general!

Hi all,
I have a problem with my external SD card. Since this afternoon my phone doesn't read any folders from my SD (music, pictures). I can copy/paste on it from my PC. In the settings i can see that the SD is recognized but from any app like gallery or music player there is nothing :/
If anyone can help me please it will be cool.
P.S excuse my poor english
Try clearing the cache of media storage and run the same after I reboot

I am unable to transfer Music and photos on my S3 to micro sd card.
Any ideas or app to it??? Usual apps are not working!
connect your device to the pc via usb.
wait a minute for the drivers to install
go to "my computer" and open GT-i9300->SDCARD
create a folder "media" and put those files there

Its a newer system, give the guy a break....
He may have come from a pre ICS device that does not use MTP.

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.
Hi,
I seem to be having ongoing issues with my external sd card. When downloading torrents using utorrent or ttorrent, it starts to download , but then half way through it states that the location is read only?? I checked using Solid Explorer and it does say that my exsdcard is read only, but the tick box for write in greyed out.
Why is it it seems to sometimes be read only and sometimes it downloads fine? How can I change it to read/write?
Thanks

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
