I got a new SD card to put music on so that I can replace my iPod. I just copied about 25gb of music to it and put it in my phone, after I put it in the music is gone and there is 25gb worth of random files in a folder called LOST.DIR. Does anyone know why my music is deleted when I put the card in my phone.

Make sure you formatted the sdcard to the right file system. I don't remember if its fat32 or NTFS but if u format it using ur recovery it will do the right one. Then from there u can repeat wat u did and it should work.

It should work. Just copy every folder and transfer to your new one. Then just put into your phone. It will have all your data.

Make sure if its a windows machine to go into control panel/folder options/ and enable show all files, show protected operating system files.
Then just copy and paste, if not you'll miss a few file types in the xfer
Swyped from a galaxy far far away......
Just copy the files the on the other sdcard just paste it.. Thats easy.. ( u gotta do it on the computer. )

Done this formatted new sd card several times and the files are missing once i put in the evo. Kingston 32gb done on Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Ubuntu all with the same results. Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance.
rs.
Make sure you've got a FAT32 formatted card.
It is FAT32. i download anything on the evo to card and once i connect it to the pc it gets erased. Bad card i think?

In your camera settings there is an option where to save pictures and videos. The settings is called Data Storage and allows you to pick internal storage or SD card.
Now will that set the settings to save all pics videos to sd. The only other way is by computer or root. And I dont want to root yet till we get custom roms or are able to unroot The ion l. Cause Tue probpem im hqving is if someone sends me a photoe or video it wants to send it to internal and not give me an option for sd card.

No that setting will only store photos or videos you take to where ever you set it to. I don't think there is a way currently to have any pictures or videos sent to you to store on the SD card.
I was just wondering about sd card storage. The sd is actually "ext_card" right? I tried changing the xda app's download path to: "mnt/ext_card/xda_ download" but it still saves to "mnt/sdcard/xda_ download".
Would xda need to be running from the sd card to save to it?

You can use ES File Explorer to move them on your device.

Do you have anyway to connect it to a pc or another device to see if it isnt just your particular device.
Yes I do.

How is this even possible? I would think this is a very serious problem if it can happen naturally. Could you please advise how to prevent this from happening?

too little info. tell what u run. Reflash to stock if cannot solve.
Running V.03 btw. Max Lee set it up for it to switch for some reason. I just downloaded root explorer and that let me delete that file so I rebooted and it switched back! For anyone who had the same problem here is your solution.

So i bought a 16 gb class 4 SD card for my galaxy s3. My old 4 gb SD card that I replaced worked great with no fail. This new card however, sometime unmount and remount. Sometime it lets me write to it other time I can only read what I already have on there from it. This is a problem because when I set the sd card as all my media defaults sometime message comes up saying it failed to write to sd card so it changed back to phone memory.....
Anyone know if this is a bad card or if there is anyway I can set things up to make the card work. Thanks ! I have 15 days to replace it.
edit- I tried to look for other related sd issue, but it seems to only be talking about rooted phones. I dont have root and this is my first android so I'm not comfortable going the rooting route just yet.
Have you reformatted the card?

Which do you recommend. Exfat/ fat32 or Ntfs??
I've also had this issue but my fone is rooted. I've had to reformat it at least once a week. I will go to save music or a picture to it and it will say the ext sd card isn't accessible and when I go check it with root explorer instead of folder titled music It will be £usic or something crazy. Then the card will start switching to r/o instead of r/w.
Edit: it meaning the external sd card.

I would go with exfat. And try to format it from the phone not the computer.
If you still have problems try fat32.

No, my sd card is not full actually i have 8gb available space and im only transferring 75 songs and they're like 200mb..
its still "transferring files" WHILE the bar below saying "could not transfer files". THEY ARE HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME.. THERE IS STILL NO SONGS ON MY PHONE
reinstall mediago and see if it works.
or if you don't care about Sensme channels, just copy and paste the music straight onto your phone by going to 'my computer' --> 'Arc S' --> 'SD Card' --> 'Whichever folder you keep your music'
