I have some quick point and shoots from my vacation stored on here and I want to put them on my computer. I have a ton of other pictures from customizing my phone on here as well so I really dont want to import pictures since it will be importing over 1000 images when I only need about 100 of them.
I have looked all over the SD card but have not found the gallery of pictures taken with the camera.
Can anyone help me out? I am running ARHD LTE 2.1.2.
Never mind I managed to find it.
This is my first smartphone so sorry for the extremely noobish question.
Anyways, for anyone else who has this embarrassing problem you wont have to worry about posting a question of your own!
Just make sure that you have your phone connected via USB as a camera, not a media device. Then go into Internal Storage < DCIM < Camera and all your pics should be there!

i notice that if i have only 1GB left on my storage card ,, my pictures get deleted just like that ,,, i had about 2500 pics and now i have 1400 ,, how can i fix this ,, this is a very very big problem ....
PLEASE HELP !!!
I had a similar problem with pictures disappearing, but it stopped after I removed the 3D Gallery app... Do you have this installed?
I'm not 100% sure about that being the cause, as I did post about this a few days back, but I don't recall anyone else suggesting they had the same problem.
I'd be interested to know if it's relevant to you though.
yes i have gallery 3d ,, ill delete it and see if the problem will come back ,,,,
That's interesting, because although as I said, I'm not 100% sure that was the problem, before removing the 3D Gallery, I restored my missing images and they were gone again within a couple of days.
It was the appearance of duplicate folders within the 3D Gallery app that led me to suspect there was a problem with it. In my case however, with a 32GB card, I had plenty of spare space and don't think I ever got anywhere near just having 1GB free.
I'm surprised more people have not reported this issue, but then it may also depend which version of the app you're using - as there seem to be a number of variants. The other problem of course is that in my case I was just loosing a few images at a time from certain folders, and not all of them, so it's not always immediately obvious that they're gone!
Any news about this issue?
I 'm having this problem too whit my HTC Desire whit Android 2.2 and a SD card 8GB Kingston.
Hi all,
I got the same issue. but I have only about 200 pics on my 8gb sd with more than 4gb of free space ...
I thought I had too many pics in one folder as the more recents pics where always disappearing after a few hours/days.
So i wanted to copy my folder on my computer, and then, SURPRISE : I could copy ALL my pics, even the "lost" ones. It seems that they are not deleted but only hidden in the gallery.
And I don't use gallery 3d.
Hope this helps.
EDIT : it's on a desire Z
Is there .nomedia file on your card?
Are you checking sd-card for any mistakes?
I've done a search, but I cannot find anything really specific on this.
I think I understand quite a bit about MTP, that it shows up as an icon instead of a letter drive, why it needs MTP, etc.
Some users have said that the folders you can access will be limited. My question is what folders can be accessed/seen via MTP?
I really don't mind MTP, but I want to be able to drag and drop and not have to use some syncing software. That being said, does anyone have some screen shots or a video even of transferring files from WIN 7 to the Galaxy Nexus via MTP? A video, even a shot one would be fantastic.
Thank you in advance.
(P.S. I know I can make all sorts of changes and do arranging with file explorers. My question is more of a "How hard is it to get my pictures, music, Docs, etc actually ON to the device. )
Anyone? Maybe just pictures? Just a list of the folders?
Hi, you don't really need to worry about this at all.
The only folders you can't see, compared to USB like before, are the hidden folders which are usually just folders for application data.
It does show up as a device rather than a drive letter, but drag and drop works exactly the same, no need for extra sync software. I won't bother taking a screenshot because it looks exactly the same as transferring files to an android device which uses the old USB method.
To answer your question "How hard is it to get my pictures, music, Docs, etc actually ON to the device", the answer is - it isn't hard at all, and is effectively exactly the same as the old method (better in my opinion as you don't need to mount/unmount). The only way in which you could have problems is if you use a Mac or Linux and then you need extra software, as you're using Win7 you won't have any problems.
Hope this helps
edit - actually I had time to kill so here are some pictures
You're fantastic. Thank you. VERY helpful.
I revelled this when I saw similar amount photos in both internal/external SD cards when browsing the photos in the gallery. I checked the settings of the camera and it is set to external storage (I couldn’t recalled that I have made this change so maybe it is by default).
Checked the time stamp of the photos in both cards and they look being saved to these destination folders randomly. Did anyone encounter the same problem or any suggestion? Thanks.
Hi
Quick question, are the photos listed in the camera folder and the dropbox folder?
Pete
The same happens to me, even pictures taken with seconds of difference are stored in different locations/folders. I am using stock camera app and still did not take the time to investigate the reason of this strange behaviour. Will check later.

HI
Are the pictures in two separte folders in the gallery ie camera & dropbox?, or are you looking at them via a folder explorer?

Hi, they are in two folders, one of them called "camera" and located in external Sd and another called "cámara" (camera in spanish) and located in internal Sd.

Single shots are stored on the sd card assuming that's what you configured.
Burst shots are stored on internal memory.
So are you taking single or doing burst?

Hello everyone..
So I while managing pictures on my SD card, I noticed something that is making dumping/importing pictures to my PC, a nightmare.
I think I have a solution, but the app (MoveToSdcard), is giving the following message: "SD Card shares the same disk with os"
Looking at some of the file/folder structure, I think I know what's happening, but I don't know how to fix without breaking stuff.
What I'm trying to do is move all apps that will every have pictures associated with them, to the SDCard. This will allow me to export (and worry) only pictures from the SDCard and delete them like I normally would with my iPhone.
Anyone know of a way to resolve this or have a suggestion on how to achieve what I'm trying to do?
Why do I want to dump my pictures? I put them on a NAS, back them up to various cloud services. I also place my none mobile photo work on this NAS an upload them as well.

I'm having a hard time understanding specifically what you are trying to do. But if the end goal is back up pictures to your NAS then I suggest downloading "Sweet Home! Alfa". It will allow you to select which albums to backup and automatically do it for you based on preference (for example, I have mine setup to do it when I'm connected to my home network and plug my phone in to charge".
You can set it to automatically delete photos off you device once backed up too if you want. Managing albums can be done through the stock gallery app or through a file explorer.
Hope this helps.
BTW, /sdcard actually refers to internal storage. So if you are trying to move apps to /sdcard, that it why you are getting the error. You are telling it to move an app from internal storage to internal storage which doesn't make sense to the app
Hi Artimis! Yea. I'm sorry about how I laid out the thread. Not clear at all. Basically, there are pictures everywhere
I use several apps - Instagram, Photoshop, SquareDroid, Afterfocus, Lapse It, Viva Video, etc. Each one of these apps either place the completed edits/export in their own folder, located in the app's directory, respectively.
When I pull out the SDCard and put it into my machine to dump/export them, not all the pictures are there, because some of the pictures are in their respective app exported folders and those are on the Internal SD.
This now forces me to hunt around and hope I've located all the possible directories and pictures.
If Instead relocate the apps to the SD card, the export folders would also be there, making it one less and easy step to ensure that all possible pictures/directories are accounted for.
Make any sense? Sorry about that.
Now the app you recommended takes it to a whole other level! This is awesome! and it detects new photo directories, created anywhere on the phone or SD card! This more or less solves my whole problem! WOW! Thank you!
As for the whole SD thing, I'm confused. Not a big deal though since all pictures and videos (all big in size) taken using XCam end up on the true SDCard. All the other pictures scattered about are not large in size and I'm not concerned about it. It's just a pain to hunt them down and dump/export them.
This app you suggested though is perfect and solves my problem, and then some!
Thanks Artimis!
wouldn't it be easier to just use Dropbox's import feature or even their auto saving of pictures? Of course letting G+ save them is also a more practical solution, I use both, and would be less time consuming
Yes, I use them as well. They work well. The goal is not to move away from any of them either. The goal is to save them locally to my NAS and at the same time, recover the space back on the device/SDCard.
The program that Artimis recommended takes care of all these issues.
I'm good! Thanks!

Whenever I try to install apps on to my SD card it says "SDcard share the same disk with os" and won't let me transfer apps.

Does your phone actually have an sdcard in it (it would show up as something like /external_SD through the file system). As I mentioned before, /sdcard actually refers to the phones internal storage. It is a symlinked directory that emulates an sdcard but is mapped to /data/media.
So you will get this error with an app trying to move something from /data/app to /sdcard because it is actually trying to move it to /data/media/.. which doesn't do any good.
If you do have an actual external sdcard (/external_SD) then the problem could be due to the write protection changes implemented in kit kat. There are threads on how to fix this if you are rooted.
I do I have an SD card in my tablet and I supposedly already did an SD card fix for Kit Kat but I will look into it thanks.
i have micromax canvas juice 2 .... i inserted 16gb sd card but iam not able to move apps to my sd card ..... please help me
So how to make it understand I have to sent it to ad card and read data from there..
Hi all,
So here's the deal. When I had my Pixel 2XL, I had about a bazillion photos on Google Photos, still do. No real order or organization, just a total mess. My impression is that the Note 10+ has far more robust file management software, and of course I have space for photos on the device and SD card. Let's also say maybe I've got some stuff on there that I just don't really want to be In The Cloud anymore. My thought is that I could do this via DEX - download or go through my Google Photos library from The Cloud, arrange things into folders on my desktop, and then load them onto the phone.
Would this work? Can anyone think of an easier way to move everything from Photos servers onto the phone's stock Gallery, putting aside any issues of "why would you want to do that" or "I wouldn't do that" because the bottom line is maybe I don't have the level of trust in Google as I once did and prefer as much of my data to me by own as possible.
Thanks so much!
Or just directly copy images via usb cable straight to the phone, all done using file explorer

Oh yeah, I guess I can do that, and that would be about a thousand times easier!
Alright, so, I'm not sure I understand how the Gallery and Google Photos sync up and I'm trying to think of what the best way to do this is. Just delete the un-needed stuff from the phone storage, sort the rest into folders as I like, and everything will stay backed up in Google Photos? My concern is that as far as syncing goes, Google Photos would basically re-upload or re-sync things I'd deleted from the phone's gallery. Which gets priority, for lack of a better word?
I hope I'm explaining that question clearly!
