What your going to do is, copy all your files from your old SD card to a space on your hard drive. Then, insert the new SD card into your phone, format it, and only after you have formatted inside the phone, you can put your files you copied to your hard drive onto the new SD card. Just drag and drop. Simple.
p.s. This is just what I would do. Might be a faster way

If you are using apps 2 sd, here is what I did. Made a nandroid back up with extension. Copied everything off my sd card to my computer including the nandroid back up. Inserted the new card into the phone and booted into recovery. Partitioned the new card appropriately for apps 2 sd. Copied the files back onto the sd card. Wiped data, dalvick, and ext while in recovery then restored the nandroid back up. Everything should work then.
If you're not running a2sd copy to pc and then on to the new card after you've formatted

So I switched sd cards to a new 8gb class 6 one. I'm running mlign 3.2B right now. So what I did is I took all the stuff off the root of the card and put it in a folder on my computer. Then I opened up recovery with the new card in and put everything back on. When I rebooted it just loops at the htc screen with the android.

You never transfered all the files in the ext2/3 partition over. I would make a full BART backup including the ext partition on the old sdcard, copy the files from the backup to the new sdcard, and just restore it from there to get a full copy of your ext partition back.

well instead, I just did the following: in recovery I partitioned at 128, 512, and rest, then I did ext to 3 then 4. Then I rebooted to recovery, put the rom on, wiped data, dalvik, and ext, then I flashed the rom. Then it says htc provider has stopped working, along with google maps.
Did you format the ol card?
You could do the EXT+Nandroid option in Amon_RA.

well I did this just with it straight out of the box so no. Should I format it, and how?
every time I unmount the card it's fine, but once I remove the card the phone restarts.

Oh yeah lol, sorry about that meant to say sd card.
well now what happens is I partition, then when I try to upgrade ext it gives me an error telling me to do it using the console.
For some reason my sd card just started saying I have errors with it and it might need to be formatted. If I copy everything from the sd to the computer, format the card, then copy it all back, will it mess up any settings I have? It is able to read the card in recovery.

Rooted NC and ran fine for last 2 weeks. Yesterday it would not not boot up with the SD card installed, but boots fine with the SD card removed. Anyone know of a solution? Thanks.
Is the SD card the one you used to root? If so, boot your NookColor then format the SD card from Settings. The "AutoNooter" SD card image is bootable, so every time you booted with the SD card in it was trying to re-root your NookColor.
This is the same SD card I used when I rooted. When root was complete, I erased contents of SD card. Sd card content now consists of movies, game data, books, and music. It has booted fine with this information on the SD card for 2 weeks, but now will not.

Man, that's weird. Unless there was something you downloaded on the card that's trying to boot, I'd probably recommend looking into an exchange for a new one.
Step One: Try another uSD card.
Happened to me just after I rooted. Using my Windows machine and card reader I copied all the contents of my card to a folder, formatted the card to FAT32 and then put the contents back onto the SD card. There were some system and hidden files at the root level on the card which I did not copy or put back on the card. This fixed the problem and I did not lose any data.
Hey guys I'm planning to replace my stock sd card, I just want to know how to copy all my files (apps+data) to the new sd card? Can titanium back up do all this? or do I need to manually copy all the files in my old sd card to the new sd card (copy and paste method)?
I don't want to start all over again so if anyone can help me.

If you want to be sure just copy all the folders and files from the old card to the new card. That would be enough.

I change my stock 2GB with 8GB, done with just copy-paste.. from stock sdcard copied to computer (also as my backup) then copy to new sdcard.
are you sure that its already enough? how about the datas? like saved games, files etc?
1.- Remove sdcard from OB.
2.- Copy all the stuff to your computer. A simple copy-paste.
3.- Copy from your computer to the new sd card.
4.- Insert the new sd card and enjoy.

Don't worry, the phone still read the same as before from sdcard. My game "Asphalt 5 HD" is still working after the data moved to new sdcard.
Well, you should try it for sure...
I've forgotten something very important!!!!!!
2.1.- Insert the new sd card into your OB.
2.2.- Format it through settings.
2.3.- Remove the card.
Complete!

¿¿¿¿¿?????
There's not much to elaborate on this matter, I'll try to put it as simple as possible:
1. Unmount old SD card in Android
2. Pull off an old SD card (the device doesn't need to be switched off)
3. Using microSD/SD card adapter, copy old SD card content to your PC.
4. Put new SD card in Android device.
5. Unmount it in Settings/SD Card
6. Format it in this menu
7. Pull off a new SD card.
8. Using microSD/SD card adapter, copy old SD content from PC to your new SD
9. Put new SD card in Android device.
DONE
I didn't go through 4-7, but formatted new SD card as FAT32 in PC, and it works well.
thanks for all the help guys.
What would be the best way for migrating contents of the current SD card to the new bigger one?
I would copy them using a computer.
I am concerned about file permissions.
For now as I have plenty internal storage, I am considering an option to tar the files from the old SD card, and than, after formatting the new SD card, untar eventing, respecting permissions.
I have installed busybox.
Another option would be to create dd image of the old SD card, Mount it, than format the new SD card, and copy everything from mounted image back to the card.
These two are only ways to preserve file permissions, aren't they?
The sdcards are formatted as fat32, right? No problem. Simply copy everything from one card to the other, as per the first advice.

In that case, you are right, thanks.
I have put small SD card into computer and rsync-ed is contents to the temporary folder. Than I have put bigger SD card and rsync-ed back.
Everything went ok.
Thanks.
