When I try to read the micro sd card through the usb port. I got the message "Turn on files in settings, install app first". How can I do this to be able to read the card? Thanks for your answer.

I was also wondering about the drives!
Hi everyone,
I read that the process of upgrading to a new micro SD only involved a simple copy and paste from the old card. I got a SanDisk Ultra 32 GB MicroSDHC (SDSDQUA-032G-U46A) and after multiple tries I cannot get my Xperia Play to properly read the data from the old card once it's on the new card. I've tried formatting the card with the phone, with the computer, and nothing improves (I used FAT32 as the format). The closest I got was the app icons showing up properly but the apps force closing once I started them.
What can I do? Is there a tool that will allow me to transfer everything without screwing up path files in the process?
Anyone?

check the sd card if its fulty(yes there is sd cards that fulty from the shop).
the best way to do it is put the sd card to adapter (sd card to usb) and connect it to the pc.if its not working.take it to the shop you buyed and replace it.
Is the sdcard legit? Did you buy your sdcard from reliable source more info would be nice. Is your sdcard formatted to FAT 32?
Same issue here
Formatted on computer to FAT32. Copied files over via computer, stick the new card in. Phone lags and freezes, apps are "not installed", and when I try to format via the Play, the phone just freezes.
Card is legit, bought from Best Buy, passed all the tests, works just fine using a an adapter (usb and regular sd).

I bought it from Amazon, from a certified seller. Yes, it is formatted to FAT32.
I never really noticed this before but if I remove card from phone and use a usb card reader the drive is not shown? Windows shows the card reader but when I click on it it says no drive found?
Or is the only way to see sdcard files is by connecting phone via usb? What happens if phone breaks?
No you don't have to use usb from phone.
Maybe the card reader isn't compatible.
I use sd card adapters and have lots of em but some won't work with my sd card.
Also try a different usb port.
Try a different sd card with the usb reader to see if it works

i´ve bought a 64 gb dandisk microsdXC and doesnt work allright.
i have inserted in the xplay and works great, but when i connect it to the pc by usb cable massive storage the pc says that doesnt recognize the device, or it recognized it but i start moving files and error appears. then i disconnect it from the pc and the XPlay sais the card is empty and i have to restart it an again recognizes it.
If i use the micro sd to sd adaptor and insert it in the laptop card reader, it works great but if i use a microsd to usb adaptor the laptop says i have to formatt the card.
i dont know what is happening.
somebody please help!!!!!
i dont what causes that but using airdroid will solve youre probleme
i have this probelem with my 8gb sd card too
I don't think the phone properly supports 64gb, only up to a max of 32gb microSD cards. That's probably your problem there.

I use 64Gb SandDisk Class 10 microsdXC card that work without problems. Sounds like you need to format your SD Card to work properly. Be sure to BackUp/Save all your Data First and then Format the SD Card.
Formatting Instructions can be found here.

what program did you use to format on your laptop?
Also what type of format did you use?

ease us partition master and fat32
So I took the advice given in my previous thread and formatted my 64gb ADATA microSD card to fat32, and that allowed me to copy all of my music files directly through my laptop with an adapter with no problem. However, when I try to copy files from the laptop to the card through a USB connection to my phone, it won't work. Any thoughts on how to get it to work? Thanks!

Is it a hardware or software problem? I had a problem with my USB on my Infuse. I found an app, Software Data Cable. It allowed me to go from PC to phone w/o a cable.
I would imagine that it's some kind of a software problem, since the SD card itself works fine but once it's mixed with the S3 it starts to act up
