is it simply a case of copying and pasting from the old card ?
make your Windows show all hidden files and folders and then simply copy everything to your new card.

I like to upgrate to a larger MiniSD card.
How can I copy all files from one card to the new one without reinstalling all programs?
Thank you
use a memory cards reader to copy all the files from the old minisd to a folder on your pc then copy them back to new minisd
or copy files to pc using activsync then copy back on to new card
OK... being used to Nokia I just want to double check something before I do it... This is how I would upgrade a memory card on the Nokia.
If I load my SD card into a reader or mount it on my Mac desktop via the USB cable, then copy its contents to a folder... will I be able to just copy the contents back (keeping the directory structure in place) to a new card and everything will work as normal but I get more free space on the new larger capacity card.
I will of course format the new card in the Hero before copying back.
Also, is it OK to rename the card currently in the Hero ?
Its called NO NAME and so is my Windows partition... I get confused Will it confuse the Hero to rename the card ?
cheers
The OS your working on deals with putting the files correctly into the file system of the card so don't worry.
And I wouldn't think the hero should rename the card.
Thx.
And I mean not the Hero renaming the card, me renaming it... will the Hero balk at the name change ?

IF you have partitioned your SDcard you will either need a special program or need to use a Mac or Linux computer to copy the second partitioned section.
If you are using one partition just copy everything from the SD card to your Computer, then from the computer to the new SD card.
Remember to make hidden files and folders visible in Windows before you attempt copying, and move all the apps that reside on SD back to the phone's internal memory (if left on SD, their encrypted files might not work after copying).
sorry, im not really good with this stuff

He is saying
1.Make sure that Hidden Files & Folders are show on your PC.If not,appy it under My Computer>Tools>Folder Option
2.Connect your old sd card to your pc via a memory card reader or you can do it via Data Storagr mode on your phone using data cable.
3.Open old sd card(show as a drive on your pc) & select all the files on the sd card including hidden files too.
4.Copy selected files(whole files on the old sd card,ok) & paste it on somewhere pc your pc.
5.Now remove old sd card & insert new sd card to the card reader.Then open it.
6.Now move that old sd files to the new sd card.
That's all!
Is there a way to prevent this? If I try to open any office documents from the external SD card on the S3, it will open it as a separate file in a temporary folder in windows. I am not able to save as back to the SD folder. It will say Read Only. I can not even write to the SD card if I have the file that is in the SD card open. I believe this is the way MTB works, but on my DroidX, I did not have this problem. Is there a solution to this?
If i have apps on SD card by apps2SD on the SGS4, can I switch to a new SD by just copying and pasting them over, or do I have to move it all back to the "device storage"?
Thanks
im using the built in function on my phone to do it via applications manager.
Doesn't that put it in an .android_secure folder that can't be seen when plugging in via USB to computer to copy and paste from?
