I would say that this is problem with pc. What system are you using? Do you have "show hidden files" option on (just google it for your system if you don't know how to turn it on)? Is there "." at the begining of the file like ".xxxx.yyy"?

Hmm. It seems that the only files that can be viewed on the external SD card on PC is the files I put on their from the PC. The files I downloaded on my phone are not being shown. Hidden files are shown on windows and it still cannot see them. The files are just zips apks and images, I don't understand why they are not showing up. tried on another computer, same result. Hmm.

Have you tried formatting the card and then coping files from phone to sd?

I don't own this phone. But I had the same problem with the s2. T989. All I did was power off the phone and took the SD card off let it sit for awhile then put it back in and the PC started showing everything again....hope this helps. I'm running slim bean.

Unmount and remount sdcard in the storage settings. The PC drivers are really pretty crappy. I've seen it happen quite frequently.

Faulty memory card maybe.
Format your memory card and check if you still have problems with your apps.
In which way are they damaged?

That's an interesting issue!
Try this:
1. Move all the apps back to your internal memory.
2. Delete off the .android_secure folder.
3. Copy your important stuff back to the computer.
4. Format the memory card from your phone (not from your PC).
5. Reboot the phone.
6. Copy back all the stuff and move the apps back to memory card.
See whether it helps.

It looks like there is a serious problem with your phone handling the SD Card. I can't suspect the phone, but only your SD Card.
Try with a different SD Card. By the way, is this card came with the phone? If yes, try to get a replacement in the service center.
And, you are welcome to press the "Thanks" button anytime you like .
yeah i will try that.thanks mate.

Damn it my sd or my phone.
The same problem is back again. I wonder is it my phone or sd. Using new sd, and reflash with fresh rooted stock room.
Now it keep on damaging file after file.
Just like the 1st time i got my arc.
Seems like no one elses experiencing the same problem.

As I checked via file explorer all of the content appears on first level.
Rightfully it shd appear under ext. SD....I wonder what happened ?

The file manager sees two sd cards the one in your picture is the phones internal memory. If you scroll down the list you should see a link to the external sd card.
It is OK due to customed ROM swapping in file manager
Able to figure out.....

Has anyone ever run into this problem? I'm on code name android and i was going to transfer some movies to my phone from my computer. Well Windows explorer crashed and i couldn't transfer anything. I tried multiple times and Windows explorer crashed every time. After that when i went into my file explorer all my movies and pictures were deleted on my sd card and internal memory! I ran checks on my computer and no viruses or corrupt system files were detected. Could this be a problem with my Rom or is this a Windows problem...maybe something to do with the mtp transfer method? Anyone else ever have this experience? If it helps I'm running ktoonz kernel at stock settings.
Thanks

I fllashed CM10 M2 on my S3 and got the error that the external SD card is damaged. After reading some threads here I found that CM doesn't handle the exFAT format so I restored stock image from backup expecting to be able to access files on the external card. However, I'm still getting the bad SD card error. I found this thread that mentions the same issue that I'm having but the solution proposed there didn't work for me. I'm using CWM 6.0.1.2 and when I connect through ADB when in recovery, I don't see the contents of the external card. Mounting sdcard from CWM mounts /sdcard but that is the internal storage which is not what I want. I also tried connecting the card to my laptop running XP using a micro-SD card reader and running chkdsk but that reported the disk as a RAW partition. Any ideas on what else I can do to copy files off of the card?
Plug it into the computer and run a recovery software. There's tons of free ones.
Exfat should be readable by cm10. I would try in a Linux os to retrieve your data. Or the recovery method as mentioned above.

I have the same problem how can i backup my files ftrom ex_sd befor do format

You'll have to copy to the computer. Use an adaper to plug into a usb port. Or if you can see the files on your phone copy to computer via usb cable or wireless file utility.
If I'm not mistaken, exFat is only supported in our stock kernels which is why you can't read it in cm or aokp. I've also had problems seeing it in cwm and twrp recoveries, but I can't remember if I had a stock kernel at the time.

I was able to recover the files using the Photorec recovery tool from CGSecurity. Worked like a charm, restored all my pics and music And it's free as well!

How are you seeing the files from CWM? Do you connect through ADB to browse the files?

Try sgs3 easy ums app. I think its on the market but you can search for it here in xda as well.
Or as I said before you can try a wireless transfer utility from the market.
Otherwise take the sdcard out if the phone and plug it directly into your computer via an adapter.

Maybe the SD card isn't propely mounted? Did you tried removing it and connecting to a PC? If it recognizes and the file is there, you could try Recuva for Windows,,,
