[Q] Formatted Internal SD

Hi All,
I am a newbie with Android,
So i decided to format the Internal SD, no problem.
After that my Internal SD had no Music(mp3) map..
So where do i have to put the mp3's ?
Thanks

It doesn't matter, that's what the media scanning is for. All your mp3s will show up in your music player.

I did already put the MP3's in the Internal SD map, but it doesnt show up at the phone MP3 player?

Format = Wipe Data .
jje

Can you explain me, what you want to tell me with Wipe data?

You have formatted the internal sd card yes .
if you format then you have wiped the data on that card .
Data from a formatted card may be recoverable using a tool like Recuva dependant upon the type of format .
jje

There is no Recuva for Mac OSx, but is there not another way without using a program?

Your phone is not a mac so i would google for a recovery program that works from a mac or try recovering from a Windows PC .
jje

I was talking about my iMac, there is no Rescuva for Mac OSx..
But i think there is another way without using program, because in the Internal SD there are few maps but not a map(s) for mp3,video..

damn !! you are so confusing lol, if you have formatted your internal sd card, you have wiped everything off it INCLUDING YOUR MUSIC !!!! if you want to try and get it back search google for ' recovery software for MAC'
if that is too much for you to take in and your brain cant handle the immense pressure of googling something, then just download your music again and put it back on the phone.

I am not that stupid mister!, i dont want the music or something else back, there is "no map for music/mp3".
If i put the MP3's in the Internal SD "map" self, they dont show up in the Music Player! so now you understand me?

well finally i understand lol........... BUT !!! whenever i put a song on to the sd card (not in any folder) my music player finds them.. What music player are you using ?? the stock one ??? i use winamp its much better

If i put the MP3's in the Internal SD "map" self, they dont show up in the Music Player! so now you understand me?
Eventually
Do you make a folder in your sd card for music.
Can you see the music in my files .
jje

Buy an external sd card and save yourself the hassel in the future..

Formatted again, and this time did it!

What the hell is a map?

I was a wondering this as well, doesn't help when you use such a different yet valid label for something

Can´t use my 16gb external memory !

I have a 16gb external mem in my phone, but if i put mp3 files on it the phone doesn´t find them, only on internal mem ?? I have format the card in program/setup/external mem and i get 14,9 gb free but how can i make it work ??

Sometime when u booted up, your external card wasn't mounted. I can't find a solution other then performing a reboot.
Check under Settings -> SD card & phone storage, if your external card is available or unavailable.

It´s available 14,83 GB free ! Should the music files stores under music folder or just under external mem ? Must i transfer the files with LG suite IV or just drag/drop to external mem ?

Hmm it shouldn't matter where actually but I don't use Stock Music app so cannot confirm. I use PowerAMP. - my music files in ext sdcard.

If I remember correctly, I believe the stock music player only looks in the SD/media folder and all subfolders contained within. Can you locate the files using a file explorer program to verify they transfered correctly?

I think it doesn't matter which folder it is in. I have all my songs in a folder which I named "My Songs". And there's some more nested folders further down. They all gets recognised without any intervention from me. But the first scan took quite some time. Subsequent scans take only a couple of seconds.

Two ways media scanner will skip your folders.......
1. When your files in folder with folder name starting with "."
example, /.music <----- this folder will be skipped from scanning
2. When you have a ".nomedia" file inside a folder

I have solved it, thanks ! I am a noob, find out that _externalSD is not the real externalSD it is still on the phone, at last i find the 16gb external memory !!

mayb u got a corrupt sd card?

open file explorer in the phone and look if there is something on the card. if you see all your folders and files, try to reboot your phone or install this from the maket.
if you don't see the files on your sd card, try to format the card from the settings in phone, not with pc
hope this will help you

crap...my sd card was also damaged ..it says sd card is damaged please format it...my heart broke ..4gb worth of pics , songs , videos GONE

there might be 2 solutions that I know:
1) Sdcard or the files may be corrupted. - Try to format the sdcard and put just one picture(a picture that you can view without any problems on pc) and see if you can view it.
2)nomedia - make sure there isn't any ".nomedia" file in the root of sd card or check in the folders where your music is store.
HOPE THAT HELPS

You can try formatting your SD card from your computer, maybe it helps.

Use the pc. There 2 types of format. FAT AND ntfs. Have you tried both? Also try quick and the regular one.

Ok...after ALOT of experimenting i finally pin pointed the prob....i used this app called Rescan Media Root...they say that every boot is slow because yr phone is scanning all the media files (Media Scan)...if you disable it, it'll speed up boot time ! But what happens in my case is it disabled the scanning, forever...so it never bothered to scan the sd card for my media files :S...after i reenabled it, it worked !

[Q] SD Card Error

I searched the forums but could'nt find a similar problem. My SD card is read by my phone. But when i connect it to the computer through USB storage, only a few folders are seen(lost.dir, buildprop.tmp, .profig.os) along with any new folders that i create. But while browsing the card through a file explorer on my phone i can see all the files and folders. Anyone know what's wrong??

Try to put it in a card reader and see what happends.

Hey
I bought a sd card from eBay and had countless errors and trouble with it, I bought a new sd and had no issue what so ever. So try a new sd card or even formatt the memory card

See if you can back the contents up to the pc then run disk check or format.

Formatting at the moment is not an option. I have a lot of data on it that needs to be backed up like photos, videos, music etc. Unfortunately i cant backup the contents onto the PC since they cant be seen! Guess i have to upload everything onto dropbox and then format it. And with my current upload speed its going to take days . Unless there's someother way of doing it

Try doing a backup using a card reader for your pc.

Even with a card Reader only the "New" folders that i create can be seen. But on the phone All the folders can be seen.

Have you tried to connect it with Linux based OS or only with Windows?
Try this also. Currently there's a troyan round the globe. When it activates it hides all the folders on external media devices connected to PC, and creates .exe files with names of hidden folders. When you connect your storage to a PC with good antivirus it deletes .exe files but leaves folders on storage in hidden state. Try to configure your Windows Explorer or Total Commander to show hidden files and folders and maybe you'll be lucky.

Only with Windows XP and 7 based systems as im at a cousin's place. Found this problem when he wanted some songs from my card. I did scan the SD card using AVG. During the scan i noticed that the current files being scanned included those that i couldn't see using windows/commander file explorer. Hope that helps
Edit: A little messing around and i got it!! Folder Options > Hidden Files and Folders > Unchecked "Hide Protected Operating System Files"
Thank you for all your help

Music players can't find internal memory files

So,a problem my friend has on his i9000 antique .
First of all,hello everybody.
So,the thing is : He told me ,that recently he found he has much more internal memory free then on his SD card. So he decided to transfer all of his music to internal memory.
The thing is,not one of the music players recognise songs on his internal memory . He says that only poweramp recognises ,but he doesn't want it . The file explorer sees the files in internal memory thought. Conundrum it is .
Someone know whats the deal ? Thanks in advance guys .:fingers-crossed:

You should creat new folder name Music and move all songs to that folder. It work for me
