As the title says. I've put the microsd card of my htc g2/z in the iconia and its working. Though i cant seem to find it anywhere in my file managers. (Music app shows ext. Sd content) tried es and file manager for honeycomb. I want to transfer music and video's over to internal sd. Since acer does not have usb drivers for mac, this is kind off my only option. Right?
SOLVED:
1.
Micro SD card slot shows up under: /mnt/external_SD.
So in your file explorer you have to go to root, and then mnt.
2. There are no mac drivers for the acer A500. You can try http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
Though, that program seems to crash alot!
3.
Transfer your files from mac to A500 using USB sticks, SD cards, FTP servers (loads in market).
USB stick can be found: mnt/external_USB

No it isn't your only option, you install this: http://www.android.com/filetransfer/.

I will check it out. Thanks alot!
**edit**
Android file transfer keeps crashing as soon as i connect the tab. Tried reboot, but still crashing.
Any other solutions? I've tried FTP and such apps. They work, but ofcourse not as fast as usb connection.
and why is my micro sd card not showing in file explorers?
if you're using es strogs file manager than you first need to go to root (click on the left most icon on top) than go to /mnt than /external_sd <-- that's your micro sd card than simply copy and paste your files from there to your internal storage.

Thanks. This makes copying my music alot easier.
Dual File Manager works too. When you start it, just hit the Android back button and you'll see "external_sd"
Sucks that it doesn't mount on my PC though.

I use Winamp on the desktop and the A500. It syncs music from my desktop machine to my tablet automatically whenever my tablet connects to my home wifi.
just put the card in and power down/on the device.
as mentioned, power down fully, not just On/off until the screen blanks. Found out the hard way, lazy person that I am.
Odd thing I've found though is that when connecting my Acer tab to my Acer .... err ... laptop ... feels so incestuous .... is that the mSD card appears as simply "SDCARD" while it's external_SD from the device itself. Ah the sweet smell of O/S kludges in the morning

No need to power off > back on. Just put the sd card in and voila! It worked right away. Just could not find the sd card in ES file. But now I know it's under mnt/external_SD/
actually I wouldn't call it solved, its kind of an annoyance if anything else. Titanium Backup for one won't see it, I thought honeycomb was going to mnt internal as essc (or something like that) and the external sd as sdcard?
You can soft link it (now that we have root) but that won't carry across a reboot for now.
any how still loving this thing!
OK Ive looked and tried but no luck. Is there a way to move or install user apps on the external SD card. I can store pictures , movies and other files on to it but cant move the apps using Titanium or any other Apps 2 sd program. IM RUNNING OUT OF ROOM!!!!!!!

Couldn't you repartition with CWM and make the partition 4GB instead of 2? Not sure on this particular tablet though.
I have a 32gb micro sd installed i want to move all the installed apps to it

You could try manually moving them over and making a symbolic link where they were originally. A pain but if its a proof of concept then an app can be made to do it.
From what I've surmized Acer (and perhaps all tablet makers) changed the name and/or file structure from that of normal android phones. App2sd expects to have the old file system. I'm not sure how app2sd works internally but the sym link thing would be a guess of top of my head.

yes your right but i dont have the skills to do it ill have to wait for the app if one ever is developed

for different reasons, I'd like to learn how to create symbolic links to folders. I'd like to place one in my /sdcard folder in order to point to /external_sd, this way I'll see the external sd directly when I browse the tablet with my PC, like it's possible with the virtuous_galaxy rom..
can U help?

You might try using this simple method which I first posted in another thread and regarding a different subject. It might do what you want.
For anyone who wants to see the contents of their sd card on their PC and be able to copy/transfer files from one to the other, why not give this a try, it is very simple and works for my A500.
Before you start you need your A500 to be rooted and you need "USB Mount All version 1.3" from the Market cost $1.99
(1) Have your PC switched on, don't connect your A500 yet but switch the A500 on.
(2) Run USB Mount All and you will see your sd card as a "Device" named "ext_sdcard".
(3) Press the tab "Mount" next to your ext_sdcard. You will see two messages "Mount has been granted Superuser permission" and "Device successfully mounted".
(4) Press the "Menu" tab in the top Right hand corner of the screen, this opens a small box entitled "Settings". Press on "Settings" and you get 3 options, make certain all 3 options are ticked, ticking them if they are not. (The important thing is to have "Mount on Bootup" ticked"). Press the Back Arrow twice to get back to Home Page or where ever you started from.
(5) Re-boot the A500 and after it is back running connect it to your PC using mini usb connector.
(6) Now check your PC and open Windows Explorer, you will find under your A500 Device most of the folder/directories that are in /mnt/sdcard (which isn't all that relevent to this) BUT importantly you will find a folder/directory entitled "ext_sdcard" which for those of you who noticed is the exact name that "USB Mount All" called your sd card.
(7) Now use Windows Explorer to copy and paste whatever you want into the "ext_sdcard" folder.
(8) Please note that when you start to copy files you will get up a warning box stating "Do you want to copy XXXXX to your device?". You are given 2 choices (1) No skip this file or (2) Yes.
(9) Put a tick in the box at the bottom Left and click on "Yes".
(10) When finished safely disconnect your A500 from your PC and re-boot your A500.
(11) After re-boot go back into "USB Mount All", chose top Right menu and settings box and remove the tick from the 3rd option "Mount on Bootup". Each time you are going to copy, move or delete files first of all put the tick back in the 3rd box and when you're done take it out.
Your Done. If you use any File Explorer to look at /mnt/external_sd you will see all the files residing on your sd card including those you've just copied.
Moved as not development, please read the rules and post in the correct section ONLY.
Hello!
I have a problem to write data to external microSD card mounted to my Tab 7.7. I cannot copy/move files, create folders, etc. there when doing this using the Tab. At the same time I can do all of this from my PC when the Tab is connected to it - I can create folders on the microSD, copy or move file. Also, there is no problem to read data form the external card by the Tab (books, for example). So, the problem seems to be only with writing to the card from the Tab.
Could anyone give an advice please? Thank you.

You can only use the internal File Manager app built-in the tablet, OR if you have a rooted tab, then use root explorer or estrongs in root mode to do so.
Basically, the microSD card is mounted in a very awkward state - normally you cannot move or delete files from the card, but with the built in file manager app you do have the proper permissions.

Hi!
I recently installed the triple boot ROM and I have a few questions!
I am using a 16gb Class 4 SanDisk card.
1. After burning the image to the card, it reduced it to 100mb usable space. I resized the /sdcard folder to 12gb. Is there a way to access the /sdcard folder from my PC? Or should I transfer files via USB connection?
2. My home screen always defaults to landscape mode and it doesn't rotate to portrait at all. I wanted to flash an update but with my PC only showinging the 100mb /boot folder, updates don't fit since they're too large.
3. When I want to add updates, fixes and nightlies , do they get placed I'm /sdcard?
I'll have more questions soon but these are my main concerns for now. I'm an old school Android ROM flasher from the ancient HTC Elf days, so don't mind thr noobiness!
I just really want to be able to store pdf's onto my SD card and access them & also have my home screen rotating properly. Then my Nook will be near perfect!

When you say your home screen only shows landscape, I'm assuming you mean in CM7. Go to Cyanogenmod settings and choose display and make sure all rotation boxes are checked. Also make sure in normal settings that autorotation is checked.
You cannot see your sdcard partition with the card plugged into the PC. It only will show the boot partition. You must use USB connection to see sdcard. And you always place the update zips in sdcard (not boot) since Racks has modified his CWM to look there.
If you look at my tips thread linked in my signature, I have an item (B8) that describes the difference between verygreen's SD and Racks' SD. They are very different on how you install new roms.

Hi leapinlar!
Thanks for the quick response.
Luckily, CM7 works perfectly on my Nook. It's CM9 with ICS 4.0.3 that my homescreen and app drawer is stuck in landscape. It doesn't seem to rotate at all even with auto-rotate checked. When switch to the homescreen from an app that's in portrait mode (ie. Flipboard), it automatically rotates the screen back to landscape when it switches out to the homescreen.
Will be doing more research on it, but haven't had any luck finding a fix for it. *crosses fingers*
Well, same suggestion. Go to settings, display and make sure all of the rotations are checked, along with autorotation being checked.
EDIT: OK, there is one more setting in CM9. Go to accessibility under settings and there is one more auto-rotate setting there. Make sure it is checked.
Many users even I am having problems with titanium backup, simply the app was not backing up and restoring was not anything so I was trying to find a fix for this is is now working properly. :victory:
TUTORIAL FIX
1- Open the application SuperSU
2 - Drag side to the tab >>SETTINGS<<
3- Scroll to the option >>SECURITY<<
4- And uncheck >> SEPARATION SPACE OF NAMES FOR ASSEMBLY <<
5- Reboot
WOW now you can back up and restore your apps and data normally
Doesn't work in Ti 7.3.0 using Resurrection Remix M for Xperia ZR and SuperSu 2.65 but thanks for the effort...
For any having problems with titanium backup not able to access/write to ext SD card try this
As you have seen, Marshmallow has some new restrictions on how apps can use your external SD card. If you're like me, you use your external SD card for Titanium Backup, but as soon as you installed MM, Titanium Backup decided it wasn't working - specifically it can't access, or at least write to your Titanium Backup directory on your external SD card.
The only way is as follows IT WONT WORK THE NORMAL WAY OF SELECTING BACKUP LOCATION.
The solution is to configure Titanium Backup to access the external SD card slightly differently:
Go to Preferences -> Backup Folder Location.
Click on Storage provider at the top (it's not obvious that it's clickable).
Click on DocumentProvider storage. That will take you to a File Manager interface.
Then click the menu lines in the top-left and select your SD card, and click the "Select" at the bottom right. (You don't have to select your Titanium Backup folder here, you're just using this to get access to your SD Card.)
Now you should be back in Titanium Backup and you can browse like you used to to get to your preferred backup folder on your external SD Card
I warn you that using this Document Provider storage is much slower - at least it seems so for me. But, it seems that it's the only way to go for now.
If anyone has any better or alternate solutions, or better information, please let me know!

Thanks worked for Samsung Galaxy S5 Xposed/TWRP/MM....this was the 'Only' method that worked for me after researching and trying everything. My headache is gone now thanks to you so much appreciated. It did not work if I selected the exact folder as well as selecting the ext Card so follow the steps to the Letter for those of you having issues. Why sh%t has to be this complicated for simple tasks is beyond my comprehension
Have similar problem, but on KK - ASUS tf300t, PAC-man KK.
Option was unchecked, so I'm trying with it checked, as on my other KK device (Xperia Z Ultra, AICP 7.0, there is no problem with it).
I'm trying to use SDcard as backups storage.
Thought it's problem with Ti, but the problem persist in File Managers, when trying to copy/move "broken" backups.
Best is that it's not one or few apps, but it "changes" once for a while and backup of app "broken" before is fine, but got the error on different one...
In File Manager the error looks like this: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError.
Right know I checked the option in SuperSU and did Wipe of Dlavik and Cache. Will see if it helps.
If not: Maybe anyone has similar adventures with Ti and can help with this?
It is called "Mount namespace separation"
It is the most annoying feature we have ever seen

This worked with Nougat 7.0 on my Samsung S7 edge, but the key as you mentioned just select the root folder of the SD card, then back in Titanium I selected the Titanium folder. If I selected the Titanium folder in the file manager interface it didn't work.
What to do for those root managers which are built internally like in RR Rom. We have no SU app. Then what?

This simple process fixed my backup error. I have been unable to set number of revisions higher than one due to the insufficient free space. Can't count number of factory resets, different versions of Android (5, 6 and 7), and the number of times I tried using the SD card in both modes. Even doing a completely clean install, with only being rooted and only titanium backup installed, it still refused to backup more than one revision.
Currently I have titanium set to keep 3 revisions, stored on SD card using the above procedure, and have had error free backups for 7 days now.
Backups are one operation that needs to be as simple as possible. Everyone should be able to perform a complete backup without needing to understand or learning convoluted processes.

I warn you that using this Document Provider storage is much slower - at least it seems so for me. But, it seems that it's the only way to go for now.
If anyone has any better or alternate solutions, or better information, please let me know!

I can confirm it worked for me, however I find the backups to do actually faster then before instead of slower Have no idea why. On the other hand no matter which way TB access SD card I see another strange issue. In case of some apps being backed up TB during backup says "Skipping..." (because no newer version from last backup and that's OK) which takes several minutes. Other apps are skipped in miliseconds.
