I reformatted my sd card and then copy and pasted all of the data that was on it back on. The only problem is now none of my apps on the card will run, and when I go to manage applications the apps on the sd card are grayed out, and I don't have the option to move them to my phone. Is there any way to fix this and be able to run these apps again?

My guess would be that you didn't copy the hidden folders which is where the apps are stored. Probably the only way you can go is to uninstall the apps and then reinstall them.

I'm running Myn's Warm 2.2 RLS 4. I rebooted my phone this morning and ever since none of the apps located on the SD card will launch. I can browse the SD card using Astro, I can play music stored on the SD card, and I can browse pictures on the SD card, but none of the apps on the card are populating the app drawer or creating their icons on my desktop.
And to make it worse, I got my Swype beta email today and I can't install it because it needs access to the SD card. I swapped in my old 8GB one (current one is 16GB) and I was able to install Swype.
The card works fine in the computer. I'd really like to avoid having to reformat the card if I can help it.
My only suggestion would be to try moving the apps from sd to the phone via menu-settings-applications-manage applications then reboot, move them back to sd and reboot again. Shot in the dark but its a thought.
I needed to do factory settings, steps before that i rooted my phone and i was able to put through some applications to SD card (for example FIFA 12, etc.). Obviously when i did the reset, the applications and root has disappeared, my SD card was out of the phone during this project to make sure that it will not be removed. When i turn on the phone and put SD card in the phone, it shows the same amount of free space as before but I dont know how to restore my FIFA and other applications back.
Do i need to do root and installl the same application i was moving data to SD card?
I bought this phone from other guy and FIFA was bought on his gmail account, i did account.db change and backup and signed in with my gmail and everything worked and i tricked the system. Now i am little bit worried to lose programs and i had on my phone.
Thanks for your help
Your saved game states are gone. They are saved in the internal memory not the sd card.

Depends on the game. Older games save their savestates on the SD card. Newer ones save it on the /data partition.
Use Titanium Backup for backing up.
i dont care about saves
MC3 game this is what i was able to save, only 4mb were needed to download.
i am more worried of other applications on my SD
is this something what can help me?

i can see data on my SD card in Androi/data
my phone is rooted, is there any way to visualize the root on the PC?
i have Total Commander on my phone but i am unable through it functions to create new folder and move those data to Data/data as mentioned on the link.
I just got my phone yesterday. I had copied the files I needed from my old phone over to my SD card. This morning I copied several files FROM the SD card TO the phone without any problem. However, when I tried to copy files FROM my phone back to the SD card, files would not copy. Any thoughts on why that might happen? Is there a setting I need to change? The card is formatted in exFAT. Might that be the issue?
I'm considering saving my files to my laptop and reformatting the card. Can that be done on the phone? If not, when I reformat using my laptop, what format is recommended, FAT32, exFAT, or NTFS?
Thanks.

Can only be "fixed" with root.

A learning curve, I guess. I'm moving from a rooted phone. I guess I can expect surprises. So...essentially, I can copy TO the phone from an SD card, but I cannot FROM the phone to the SD card. And I can't delete files on the SD card using ES File Explorer (as an example)? The only way to manage SD card files is by using USB or putting the SD into my laptop? Hmmmm. It also looks like apps may not be able to manage its own files if the files are kept on the SD card; is that correct?
All correct, except:

Apps can manage their data if it's in the right place, see http://www.doubleencore.com/2014/03/android-external-storage/
my phone is runnign sluggish,. its due a hard reset, i have a lot of apps stored on thesd card, but i seem to recall last time i hard reset the phone i had to reinstall the apps from the play store...
is this required? or can i just copy the app shortcut back from the sd card to the phone?
if i do need to reinstall then i move the data over to the sd card again am i not just doubling up files on the sd card?
its stock rom, so i cant use all those titanium backup apps and stuff as far as i know..
please advise
I needed to transfer files of my other phone and I only had 1 SD card so I off-ed my LGG3 and took out the sd card, after all was done, I booted up the phone, then I notice some of my apps were missing, and worst thing is when I try to download back the app from Playstore, Playstore crashes. I can access my SD card inside my file manager, pictures and music from SD card can be read. Just my apps say 'cannot find SD card'.
