i have a regular desktop PC and a macbook, i was just wondering, if i formatted my SD card using my pc, could i plug it into my macbook and everything will be good to go? or will it slaughter my sd card? anyone know anything about this?
when you format the sdcard from windows, it should automatically be fat32 format (which is the only FS android likes)
fat32 works with every modern operating system
there is no good reason a problem should occur
just make sure you remove properly rather than just pulling the card whenever you feel like it
alright thanks garok89 for the response =]
how would one format to fat32 in os x? I am using the usb adapter that came with my microsd card
I'm having multiple problems connecting my NC to my Win7 PC via USB, particularly from stock 1.2. Every time I connect, Windows attempts to install device drivers, and is successful only half the time, at most. If it successfully mounts the NC as USB storage, it may or may not also mount the SD card (again, maybe half the time).
I also boot CM7 from an SD card using verygreen's size-agnostic image. From there, the connection has been 100% reliable--turn on USB tethering, and both the system and storage partitions get mounted as USB storage.
HOWEVER, plugging in the NC from either OS frequently causes a really odd problem with my external HDD: both the drive and the uppermost layer of the file structure will still be listed in Computer, but click any of those folders and they show as empty. The HDD is also "in use" if I attempt a safe eject, but unplugging the USB and plugging it back in solves the problem.
Are other people running 64-bit Windows 7 having these problems? Any idea what could be causing my PC to get 'confused' about the HDD?
Does anyone know why the SGN (or is it all android phones) do not multitask during file transfer to and from the PC?
I transfer many/large files to and from the external 64GB sandisk and would like to be able to use the phone during the file transfer - what is the problem - even the iphone can do this...

You connecting the phone through the MTP protocol or the USB mode?
In USB mode the apps and widgets that are on sd card will stop working and even can hang the phone as they stop responding to the system commands!
I connect my SGN via the USB cable to my PC so i can transfer files to the SGN. I have USB debugging off.
I have had no issues with copying files back and forth between my PC and SGN.
My un-answered question still stands: Why is there no multitasking during USB file transfer like on other smartphones?
Okay, so I think that I just really, completely screwed up my touchpad. Here are my symptoms. I can boot into android but I cannot connect to the sd card. Says sd card damaged. I tried the terminal and potential fixes that I found. Nothing. I can boot into recovery but nothing happens, the big USB appears but nothing ever happens. I cannot boot into Webos. Says Erasing and never stops. I can boot into CWM but nothing I do there seems to make a difference. I cannot connect to my laptop (windows 7) no matter what I've tried. although, my computer does recognize that I am connected to something but it does not recognize it. I tried downloading drivers but i cannot get it to recognize the touchpad. Tried Webos doctor but it doesn't see the sd card so it doesn't even start doing the recovery. I tried doing wireless file transfer but I have no storage because the sd card will not mount. I pretty much tried everything that I saw online, except for the linux stuff. Has anyone experienced this and actually got around it? I am really bummed but I know that it's my fault.
I am not sure what caused it but a few mistakes that were possibly the cause would be that I formatted the sdcard through CWM without doing a backup. and at some point i disconnected the touchpad without unmounting. I think that it started after I disconnected. Any help will be very welcome.
When I connect my 4s (EU) to my PC, it detects the SD card (128GB Kingston or 64GB, both tried exFat and FAT32 formatted), but when opening the contents, it says there's nothing on it, while it has over 40 gb of data on it...!
What's going on? The card is up to spec!?!
The phone's own memory is shown correctly and I can access all maps. The SD card however is detected, but not accessible.
The only files I can see are the ones I copy from PC to phone's sd card over USB connection. But I want to copy photos and videos from phone to PC.....
I already tried uninstalling the Alcatel Idol 4s driver, and reconnected to get this phone mounted again, and the result is the same.
Anyone have this too? Fix?
PS: I've tried FAT32 formatting as well as ExFAT, both cases the PC detects the card, even tells me how much space is available, but shows NO contents and tells me the map is EMPTY!?!?!
Do you try usb debugging? Is ur phone locked when you connect it to pc?
