I'm wanting to backup & format my SD card following a problem with Sense not loading described in another thread. Having read various threads about this problem it seems that some, if not all, revolve around issues with the SD card.
Through File Explorer, on the phone, I've selected ''Show all Files'' from within my SD card directory. However after connecting my phone to my PC thru active sync there are some files that are visible on my phone in the SD card directory which aren't visible in the SD card folder on my PC screen. I've tried to find the show all files setting on my pc but haven't been able to.
Thing is I don't want to backup my card then format it and possibly not backup all files that are present on the card.
Any help appreciated.
Hi there,
Two days ago I copied all the files on my SD card to my laptop, changed my card from a 2Gb one to a 8Gb and copied all the files back again onto the new SD card. I never even looked for hidden files neither on the phone nor on the laptop and it all went without any problems and all is working fine.
For sake of good order, I can't guarantee it will work with you as well, but it should.
Bye,
Itamar

Hi, thx for the reply. Think I'm just gonna bite the bullet and go ahead.
I have an 8 gig sd card on my Nook Tablet on which I have side-loaded apps. I was wondering how I can upgrade to a larger sd card. Do I have to transfer the apps to the new card? And how would I do that? Or do I have to reinstall all of the apps that have been saved to the card?
You should be able to just copy the contents of the old card to your new card. You could also copy the contents to a folder on your PC, and then copy the folder contents to a new card.
A fine point

Do you have the apps actually INSTALLED on the SDcard (this requires some tweaking of settings), or did you download the .APK files onto your SDcard and install them from there?
In the latter case, your apps were installed to the 12GB partition on the internal memory, that is reserved for the installation of apps. In this case you do not need to keep the .APK files on the SDcard.
Simply copying it over (plug nook in -> copy sd card to pc -> switch out card -> recopy OR remove card -> copy to new card (I'd recommend this)) will work fine. I've done it on several cards (I use several cards - large comic and video library etc, travel, and important apps and folders are replicated on each cards). I also have a cute microsd card holder (from sdcardholder.com I think) that holds a bunch of cards I'd normally be misplacing, so handy!
I prefer to keep apps installed on the nook's internal memory (because why not?), so using something like Titanium backup (I think? or maybe another app manager) to move any that automatically install to an sd card is handy.
Thanks for the replies. I thought that I would be able to copy as you guys suggested. I just wanted to be sure. As for where the apps are installed to, I believe the Amazon apps that are side-loaded need to go on the sd card for some reason, so that's why I was concerned.
It sounds like connecting by the cable to the pc and then transfering the sd card files there and then to the new card would be the best bet. Less of a chance for mistakes or corruption.
Alright, I have a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.7 and a Galaxy S4 with a new microSD card. I was able to initially insert the microSD card into the adapter, slide it into my Macbook Pro and transfer all of my desired music files. Put the card in my phone and it located the files no problem. Well I went today to add new files using both AFT and the SD card adapter but not files are able to be transferred to the card. AFT has no problem storing files on the internal memory so I'm guessing it's a problem with my SD card. Any ideas on what to do?
I've Googled a bit and was told to format my SD card and that should make it recognizable by my Macbook Pro again, but if I were to do this would this problem arise again once I insert the card back into my S4?
recently i have bought 128gb memory card for my z2.i have connected the z2 using usb cable & transfer videos,songs & images to sd card using MTP format (i couldnt use mass storage because when i'm tring to connect using mass storage it appears a msg that you need to format the memory card which i'm done for several times i do have a pc with windows xp) anyhow i have transferred the files to memory card & make sure all the files have been copied.after i remove usb cable and explore the files through 'xplore' it shows that some audio files in my memory card have been lost but some audio files including all videos and images are there in my memory card.some specific files have been missed i have copy and paste those files to another folder same has happen there..... could you please help me out

Hi. I have bought a new 128gbSD card to replace the 64gb card currently in my honor7. My old phone Samsung S3 used to show the card separately as 2 drives when plugged into Windows (7). I could copy the contents of the card as a back up and/or move files from the phone drive to the SD drive.
Now , when I connect my Honor 7 phone to win7, the phone only lists one directory showing all the contents together regardless of it being on the phone memory or the SD card. I need to copy the 64gb SD content onto the new 128gb SD card but I can't see it. Is there a setting or something I should be changing to achieve this. Gently please, I'm a noob when it comes to mobile techie things.
Thanks AJ
Use a micro sd to sd adapter and an sd usb adapter on your pc its the easiest and safest way
Or use this simply from you phone. No computer needed.
