Use a file manager like Astro or hook it up to your computer and work from other.

Best apps I found to use is Disk Usage or Dual Folder from the Play store. Disk usage to see what's eating up space and deleting thumbnail data. Dual folder for individual files

All JPEG files automatically deleted today - CM10

So today I noticed all my photos in my gallery app were greyed out... thought it was strange. Selected one... big grey pic... then another.... and another....
These pics span the internal storage and sd card....
First I deleted the cache to the gallery app.... same result...
OK... went into es file explorer.... dcim... camera..... all JPEGs gone....
Went into the sdcard..... have multiple folders under pics main folder... all empty... except for any video files...
Then mounted on my PC... and they also don't show.
What could of happened to cause this.... I wouldn't normally care but I lost a lot of pics of my kids... that spanned 3+ years that weren't all backed up. Any help on the snowballs chance in hell of recovering this would be appreciated.... but at the very least any reasonable explanation as to why this may have happened would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You could try pulling the sd card out, putting it in the computer directly, and then using a data restore or undelete app. As long as the sectors haven't been rewritten, they should be recoverable.
Also, this may help for the future. I use my phone to capture my kids as well. What I've been doing is using the auto upload features in both Google+ and DropBox, to back pics up in replicate. Sucks for bandwidth and battery usage, but it is what is is. lol
Hope you get them back!

I will try that when i get the chance.... just wish i knew WHY this happened. So frustrating!

So i was able to recover my files on the external sd card with a card reader.... now how would i do the same on the internal card, if we cant mount it with usb mass storage mode?

There is a pc program called recova I think it's from pirova. I wiped my phone once and was able to do the deep scan and recovered them. Hope it helps good luck.

Unfortunately, I don't think that one's doable with the way the device mounts. You may be able to mount it as a drive via recovery, but I'm not sure.
Edit: Just noticed your other post. You're asking the right thing. Hope you get an answer. If CWM doesn't have it, you could try TWRP.

Recova is what i used on the SD card and worked perfectly.
Also, i flashed TWRP... and the option isnt there either, so i will assume that its not possible on our phone yet... so for now im screwed...
am afraid to install any new programs or files, in fear of losing my more current pics, which were internally.

That happened to me too, but i am using the GS2 Tmobile, after flashing cm 9 nightlybuild. but my picture on my sd card, so i guess will use recova.
Thanks and hope you get your pictures recovered.

It sucks that you lost quite a few pictures that mean a lot to you. I do see sincerely hope that you now understand the importance of backing up these important files. This really goes for everyone. Keep important files backed up in at least one other place, and keep it up to date. Most people don't start doing backups until they've lost something that's irreplaceable.

[Q] file transfer

What method does everyone use to transfer files to and from their PC?

dropbox

Airdroid

I have a question that fits here;
Is there any way to make the s3'S onboard and external SD Read and appear in windows as a flash drive (ftp i think?) Instead of a "media device"?

USB transfer. My computer shows both main and external card.
But now that I have dropbox, it has been my primary means for transfer.
Lol I used to carry a thumb drive everywhere.

Need help with getting media off my galaxy nexus

So Im needing a little help. I just got the note 2 and want to get all my pics and vids over to my note. I know there isnt an sd card for the nexus. But I plug my phone into my laptop and click import pictures and videos and it goes up to about 1073 pics and vids and then just stops. Nothing else works. Ive also tried to just look for the file where all my pics are at using ES File or astro file. And I cant seem to locate where they are at. Can someone point me in the right direction please. I would appreciate it. Thanks

I would recommend using "AirDroid" app. It is convenient to select pictures/videos and download them to your PC and then transfer it to your Note2. Alternatively if you have ADB installed that's probably the fastest way. Simply use the commands *adb pull /sdcard/DCIM*

You're complicating things too much. Browse to your phones media folders after you connect to your desktop and then just drag the drag to where ever you need them saved on your PC. Then, do that in reverse for your Note.
Don't import anything. That's for people who don't know how to use a computer. Always drag and drop.

Can't transfer files

Every time I connect the LG-E980 to my Windows 7 PC, it starts to install, then lets me open up the internal storage but when I click on the DCIM folder, it starts all over again. I need to download some of my pix and can't get to them. I recently upgraded to a 64GB internal card. I have it on Media Sync (MTP) but it won't let me get into the memory.
I uploaded a couple of them to dropbox and then downloaded them to the PC. Must be an easier way though.
Suggestions?

If nothing else you can email them to yourself. I used to have to do that back before I had a smartphone.
Have you tried downloading and installing the LG drivers for your OGP?

If your computer has bluetooth that would be faster.

Drivers were installed, no Bluetooth.
