so ive tried several diff folders and loc. to place my photos in so gallery will recognize them...no luck. can someone tell me where they have their pics stored so gallery will display them. also, how can i get my books covers to not show in my gallery...thanks in advance. and yes, i did search first.
Are you updated to 3.1? I actually have my images on my external sdcard, but in 3.1 theres a Pictures folder, an eBooks folder, etc...I can't remember if it was configured differently in 3.0.
Download sdrescan from the market and after transfering pics use sdrescan...my pics showed up after that.

Yeah... I'm on brd 3.1. ill try rescan..i had my pics in the pic folder but they aren't recognized. And my book covers are in my gallery too... gotta figure this out..
try this
First go to applications / all and find the gallery application. Clear data and force stop. Open the gallery and see if that worked.
If that doesn't work. go applications / all and find the media storage application. clear data. Then open the gallery. Fixed my weird gallery problems.

Hey guys,
Woke up this morning and all my camera taken pics are gone! They gallery opens up and there are folders listed with downloaded and sample photos, but no camera photos. Not even the "camera" folder was there. I just took a picture now and it created the camera folder and there is only the one picture in there that I just took. I had like 350-400 pics on there and poof they are gone.
Any ideas?
Anybody know the path on the SD card of where the pics are stored?
Thanks.
/sdcard/DCIM/Camera is where my pics are stored anyways.
I remember in my days with my Moment my gallery used to not always load the images. I would delete the directory /sdcard/Android/data/com.cooliris.media and then it would force the gallery to search the sdcard again to index all the pics. No idea if that's the approved process or if it works on the Epic (mainly cause I haven't had the issue), but it used to do the trick.
Search the market for Rescan Media. Useful tool to force a rescan for the gallery.
Un-mount and remount sd card should be ok

I can navigate the sd card anf the DCIM folder is ther, but empty. I unmounted and restarted the phone with a battery pull too, nothing. Ill try rescan media later. I just found out my lookout mobile app was also not set to back up pics
My tablet came with a rather nice photo-viewer called Photo Browser 3D. It has a nice album-themed interface and cool page flipping but I cant make it see photos on my external SD card, it only sees photos on the internal one.
Anyone else using this know how to get it to scan the external card?
Thanks.
I have the same problem with this app and the gallery.

Have you tried a reboot? apparently there is a known bug in Android that causes it to do this and delay before adding media.
Downloading an app like "ScanMedia" or "SDRescan" or "rescan media ROOT" (if rooted), install, then running that app before viewing the gallery or photo browser should work fine and will find all folders, internal or ex with photos ..... AND saves rebooting!
EDIT: just got ScanMedia for my a500, works fine.

No shortage of reboots here. I downloaded QuickPic, set the pictures folder to the external sd card and it loaded the pictures. I then went to the stock gallery and it saw all the pictures.
just an SDcard app scanner and all is fine... (also, clear the cache of gallery sometimes help)
Hi,
I've wondering few things about the stock Gallery app:
1) I've tried browsing pix from SD /mSD , but I had to open it, close it, open next etc etc. Is there a way to have a decent browsing from it ? i.e. be able to slide between pix (besides copying the pix in the picture folder)
2) is it possible to stream via DLNA the pix ? Is the DLNA pkg from ASUS needed is that case ?
Thanks
Try to use myNET app and share your content anywhere in DLNA network in your home
P.S I have NMT POPCORN A-110 and see everything in my Transformer
1.) I have all my pics on the microSd. Gallery has no issue with seeing them. It also sees all my videos too. Then I can see them side-by-side and slide thru one-by-one.
Make sure you don't have a ".nomedia" file in those folders (use that to hide your "private" stuffs). May need to delete Gallery's cache if having problem.
2.) answered already.

Well, I'm pretty sure there was no ".nomedia" file on the cards. I just couldn't "swipe" between each pic :/
Also, how can I wipe the gallery cache ?
To wipe cache, goto Settings ----> Application ----> All ---> Gallery ---> ....
Just found out this particular problem a few days back. When I add new pictures or music to my tablet either in the tablet or the external SD card, it is not showing up in the gallery or the music player. The files however are there when i use a file explorer to view them. The images can be opened with the gallery or any other image app. Music files can be browsed using a file explorer and played with the stock music player or any other music player app. But it just doesn't show up in the gallery or Music player list.
I've tried refreshing the music library, have formatted my SD card but to no avail. Someone suggested to delete the .no media extension from the music player file, but that didn't helped too.
Any suggestions to this problem?
I had the same problem. You can try to delete the cache in settings/apps this should help.
However I found out the stock gallery sometimes takes VERY long to update pics on sd card. By very I am talking about probably hours.
Other gallery apps like "QuickPic" don't have that problem. You can try if quickpic works while stock gallery does not, then it is caused by the mentioned problem.

I tried deleting the cache, but it didn't work. So I flashed my device with the original stock rom. Only then was I able to get back everything. Thanks a lot for suggesting quickpix though. It's a wonderful app.
Try media fix from the market
I use fastreboot program, so that the gallery will refresh, OR you can try, go to settings>applications>manage applications>all then search for the gallery then tap on FORCE Stop, then try to open the gallery again, this should initiate the media scan. if all else fails, use quickpic app for pictures
If you have any trouble with media not showing up, clear the Media Storage data. Settings -> Applications -> All -> Media Storage -> Clear Data. It'll rescan everything properly after that.
Check for any hidden files called NOMEDIA
if put in a folder (no extension) the folder will not be indexed.
Useful if you dont want all the icons of an app indexed.
Having a problem with the Gallery app, it's not showing all of my pictures. New, downloaded pics will show up. But, for example, I have 21 pictures, all jpg, in an album in the Pictures folder of my internal storage and only 13 of them show up in Gallery. Cleared Gallery data and cache, rescanned sdcard manually, rebooted, still nothing.
I installed the Quickpic app, and it won't read my pictures at all. It lists them under "hidden files" and only shows up if I manually click "view hidden files" in settings every time I open the app.
I also noticed Gallery won't play .gif files. They show up as stills.
Both of these problems occur on all roms I've tried, so it's not rom specific.
Any ideas how to fix? It's really annoying me.
