Are you trying to copy from PC to ext sd?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

It should show up as a seperate drive with the phone if you're mounting it as a USB drive. It would show up as something called Removable Disk (with a drive letter) if you haven't renamed the card before.

You are aware that on your phone the Ext sd is called emmc on cm base roms?

And I don't have a file called emmc either mate
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

Go to your file manager and look for 2 folders
emmc
sdcard
one will be external sd & other internal sd
If you are on stock ROM then looks for SDcard>external_sd

I have a external file an a SD file but this phone has internal memory and external SD built in to it just that dosnt allow me to use mine to move apps to etc I managed to put some pics n music on it but wanna use it to save space on my phone aswell

Stock?
Are you running a stock rom?
What were some of the things you were doing before this problem started?
The more info the better

No I got ics rom on it and it hasn't worked since I rooted the phone mate I think its got somfin to do with the phone having its own internal and external SD cards I don't know if I can removed external SD card myself but I doubt its just like a normal SD card

If you're running cm9, ur external sd card is at mnt/emmc. If you were to put to mnt/sdcard/externalsd/, you are simply placing ur files to internal sd.

Make external Storage Internal (more game space)

so we all know we have 11gb about or so free for internal storage on JB .. and your external storage is however big your sdcard is (mine is 64gb) well with all these new games that are coming out with .obb files that are HUGE 600+ MB or more .. is there anyway to make the external storage actually internal storage so that when you click move to SD it really moves to your SD card and not internal storage.. i know there are some apps in the appstore that might do this.. but the real question is do they work for Jellybean. because the mounts are different now.

This one worked for me on JB leak. I was able to move the data of NFSMW & Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour to ext sd & play :good:

I m using directory bind. Move your data to ext sd and bind in internal sd.

Full wipe/Factory reset help

Does it only clears the internal storage and not the external sd?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Wipes all of your installed apps and settings from the phone itself, does not touch the external sd or anything on the internal sd

[Q] apps not moving from phn memory to usb storage

hello experts,
i am using samsung galaxy note n7000. as u knw it has device memory 1.97gb and usb storage 11.08gb. whenever i am downloading any apps it's installing on the device memory. after that when i try to move it to usb storage using apps2sd/appmgr3 it says "unable to move. Not enough storage space". dn i inserted and 4gb sd card. after that apps can be moved from device storage to usb storage. i just want to knw y i can't move the apps to usb storage without having micro sd card, though usb storage has 11gb free storage. is there any way to move the apps from device memory to usb storage without using xtra sd card?
MY PHONE IS NOT ROOTED. AND I ACTUALLY DON"T WANT TO ROOT IT...!!!

It depends from app to app. some app are coded that way that they cannot be moved from phone to usb like banking app and few other apps. some games are automatically downloaded to your usb memory and some apps can be moved as well.
please specify which app you are not able to move and i'll check that.

did you find any solution? because I am unable to move too. the button says move to usb storage. but usb storage is not there.

Sorry sorry it says move to sd card. But there's no sd card inserted. There should be a dedicated button to move to the 16 gb storage.

The 16gb in built storage is referred to as sd card.

That's the problem. I cannot use this option. It says unable to move app. Not enough storage space.

So are you saying when first installing the app it's saying no storage space or when you're transferring it to sd card there's not enough space? Two different things.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

when I want to transfer the app then it says no space. I have 8 gb free in storage and around 1 gb internal memory free

What rom are you on? If on jb, try transferring the app to sd using application manager, see if that works. If it still complains it's because you have residual odex files left over from previous uninstall or other expired data files and there are threads on how to remove them.

I have stock jb rom 4.1.2
I am trying using application manager, the app2sd also diverts to the default app manager.

In the application manager, what's the status of the move to sd card button? Is it greyed out or click able? If is greyed out, you will need to use root and TB to move then to sd card.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda premium

it's clickable, I can click it but it gives error

I am having the same problem.
I did a fresh factory reset (STOCK JB 4.1.2) and format USB Storage because my Note was becoming unreasonably slow. Needless to say, it's lightning fast now, but as I begin installing apps and internal memory starts decreasing, I want to move apps to the internal SD card (USB Storage) which currently has 11gb free. When trying to move I get "Unable to move app. Not enough storage space". How is this possible?
I do NOT want to use an external SD Card, as the phone starts getting slow whenever anything is downloading to it. Even when updating apps it starts getting stupidly slow to do ANYTHING! Rooting is also NOT an option.
I'm incluing some images to give a better perspective.

Do you mean the internal sd card?
If so just connect it with the USB cable to the PC
