Tab wont recognize music - Galaxy Tab 10.1 General

I transfered all my music from computer ove to my tab. Ok now when i go into the stock "music" app it says the media library is empty. It tell me to connect with usb to get music and to click for more info. I click for more info and it just closes the music app every single time! What should i do guys? Also if i try to download or save a photo from the browser it wont let me. This means im stuck with the **** wall paper this tab came with.... If i cant change my wallpaper to stuff i wanto download and i cant play any of my music i sware to god im not even going to senditback to amazon. Im just going to use it as a frisbeeee!
Edit- also 50% of the time i open my "galary" it says there are no pics or files in there. But the otherhalf ofthe time it reads them perfeectly well.... FML

To start off with not recognizing unknown sources, you have to go into settings>applications> unknown sources must be checked. That should let you download pictures from the web. For the music, did you drag and drop your music to the Music folder... And do you have Samsung kies for your computer that your plugging your tab into?
Edit: you should try restarting you tablet, I think that should fix the reading issue.

I already had unknown sources checked. I have the windows 7 kies which downloaded and installed with no hiccups. I used the file transfer promps that it gives me when i plug my tab into my windows 7pc. I restarted several times:-(
Edit- it turns out the downloading of a picture was just a certain web site i was on. It now works. Still no dice onthe over 7gof music i downloaded though. Also on walpapers. I downloaded a 1280x800 picture and when i go to set it as my wallpaper it will only let me selepart of the middle of the picture with a box i have to use like a cookie cutter?

Music tab not getting all music?

Hi Everyone
My first post!
I've just got a new HTC Touch HD and am having a problem. I've copied music to the SD card in a folder called Music. For some reason the music tab isn't finding this music though? I can see it in Media Player fine. It doesn't show in the Library attached to the music tab either.
Do I need to do something to get them to show?
Thanks in advance!
Try a soft reset (don't worry the data is OK) or stop TF3D and restart it.
For some reason the TF3D music player does not do an auto scan and there does not seem to be a way to make it.
BTW: I have my music also in SD in a MUSIC folder and then every album in a sub-folder.
Thanks.
I've tried that. Still no difference. Infact its showing the two songs that come with the phone on their, even though I've deleted them from My Music. It seems like the Library this isn't refreshing?
Sorry that did not work. TF3D does seem at times to be poorly behaved even though it is very pretty - bit like Paris Hilton ?
Have you sync'd the HD to a PC yet? Do you have Windows Media Player on the PC ?
If so, when sync'd on the PC with WMP running you should see the HD as a device.
Sorry I ment to say in my first thread. I copied music onto the phone orginally via Media Player on my pc. Just wondering whether I should have copied it manually?
Actually I did just restart the phone and went straight to the music tab. It does have a little spinning circle in the top right to say updating. And the screen flickered slightly when it had finished. It still hasn't added my music though! I've even tried copying a couple back to the My Music folder to see if they are found!
Is it worth emailing HTC? Whats their support like?

No, just leave it now - the circle is good - this is the scanning.
I think I worked out the problem, a combination of my being a little thick (not checking the all songs list rather and than the now playing list!) and restarting TouchFlow3D !
Thanks alot for your help!
Glad it works.
I wish there was a "scan" function in TF3D like in Pocket Tunes and Pocket Player.
I normally copy my tunes direct from the itunes folders on my PC into the MUSIC folder I created on the SD card.
But, then TF3D does not find them until magically it does a scan or I force it to scan with a soft reset or a TF3D stop/start.

Problem with SENSE Music player

i tried to play music from the desktop but i can't see any songs or any albums..
i got a message says (The music titles in the playlist no longer exist. They may have been deleted or the storage card may have been removed) ..
in spite of i have songs on the device and on the storage card.. and i can play them with the media player and other apps...
i need your help guys.. how do i fix the Sense Music player to see my Songs/Albums list again!?
thanks alot
Does this happen when your phone is connected to your computer ? If so it sounds like your hd2 id set to work as a removable storage device when its connected to your pc, where the sd card becomes unavaliable to the phone and you can only access it from tue computer to transfer files.
reply
no i set the device on ActiveSync and the device not connected to pc.. still not working :s
Any genius here?
I have the exact same problem. The songs are located on the SD and I can play them with WMP or CorePlayer but Sense can't seem to locate them.
I didn't have this problem 2 days ago, but yesterday I copied 4 more albums to my SD card and since then Sense Music can't locate anything.
I have about 2GB of music but I doubt there's some limit. I tryied removing the SD and soft resetting the device a few times but it didn't fix the problem.
The card is in good shape and all apps installed on it work just fine.
I've had this issue on a couple of occasions. The sense player shows no files, but, of course, there are! I actually coaxed the Sense player into finding them by going to the menu tab and selected Add to Playlist. My files were THERE, but not in the actual Sense UI. I selected a song, it started to play, and then, voila, all of the files populated the Sense player again. It's odd...
not sure if I have the same problem, but when it happens to me, I just wait for ages and then they reappear. I think it just takes the Audio Manager Engine ages to re-scan your memory card after it has been connected to a pc. I often find that I can see files on the song tab before they appear on the Album or Artist tab.
this happens to me everytime i add a track or tracks, and every time i soft reset, all you have to do is go to song tab when phone is in horizintal view ( click library> slide to songs ) individual songs are there l, just play one then everything starts comeing back....
hellyeah!
Damn you're a genious!!
i've been trying for hours..
now i got my music back in sense player!
thanks!

Problem: Music player loses audiotracks after connecting to pc.

Anyone has this problem? Kinda annoying to have to softboot everytime after even just charging the phone...
Audiofiles show up fine in file explorer & play in media player, but HTC music player just informs "no music found".
ROM: latest MIRI.
Are you sync-ing with media player?
pls chek this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647136
no, just dropping the files to SD card. Don't want to sync my music files with any computer (almost main reason that I sold iphone.. itunes....aaarrrrgghh..)
thanks for the link, but no help..
another question; Is there a way to disable the albumart fetcher? (i always make albumarts myself..) it countlessly tries to update the arts, but does nothing (..but takes resources..)
First post, and an attempt to help after lurking here for weeks. LOL.
I had the same problem with my audio files. I'd disconnect from the PC and it would say "no files found" or some such thing. However, if I went into the library and mucked about (not sure what I did the first time. Just sorta clicked around until I saw a list of music), I would see songs on my SD card, press one of them, and, voila, my Sense Player would, once again, find all of the songs I'd downloaded to the device.
I've not used Sync, however, as I hate Itunes style appz like that (they frighten and confuse me...). I have been dragging my folders over manually. I doubt that'd make a difference, though.

I do the DIY covers myself, as a lot of my "albums" are actually compilations of tunes I like best from a particular artist rather than actual albums (ergo, no covers actually exist)! I've not had an issue with the albumart fetcher trying to connect, though. I've didn't even know it was there until I hit it by mistake while flailing about on the touchpad (coming from a G1...this thing is SENSITIVE).
This isn't just the fact that your plugging in your phone to the pc and using it as a disk drive is it?? when you do that you cant access the files on the phone..
I guess its not though as you say you can view the files in explorer...

He didnt mean it like that. He was talking about that his music disappears AFTER he had connected the device to the pc. Afterwards the tracks dont appear in the player.
I didnt have this problem with the HD2 but with the HD...never seen it since i own the HD2.

Downloads

I got my Focus last night. I went to a couple of blogs with IE. I tried to download some songs. A webpage opened up, then some strange player appeared and starting playing the song, but I can't see where or if it downloaded it. Can we not download some stuff on our phones? If so this phones gotta go. The songs I was trying to download are from a mixtape that Zune doesn't even have, so I can't understand the issue.
Just dl the song on your PC and add it to your Zune library and sync your phone to it.

Fire 8HD problems downloading from laptop.

Completely computer illiterate oldie here so please be patient. Got tablet Black Friday. Following you tube managed to get Playstore using Toolbox V10. Trying now to copy photos and music albums from laptop. Keep getting different scenarios. Currently, when tablet connected to laptop, File Explorer shows C drive and D drive (DVD) plus "Fire". Clicking Fire, page opens saying "This folder is empty". Opening Fire shows Properties - General - Fire - Manufacture -Amazon, Firmware Version 1.0 and serial number. Nothing else. I somehow seemed to be managing some transfers Saturday/yesterday "Fire" had on occasions "internal storage"" option. but when I access photos vis the Amazon Photos app, not all have been transferred. Likewise when I open the Audify Music app I downloaded, only 5 albums appear.
Tablet has USB Transfer turned on. In Storage - Internal Storage, there are 21 music albums and 13 photo albums but I have no idea how to access them from there.
I don't know if this helps but micro SD card is Kingston 32gb class10.
Tearing out what little hair is left - had anyone any advice please?

You must have disabled USB debugging in developer settings.

Unfortunately I can't go back and see what I was doing at the time I posted but strangely enough I have just this minute finished downloading the music and photos I want. I found it very easy to move by going back to Windows Media Player (which I have ignored for such a long time) on my laptop and syncing to my tablet SD card from there using VLC and Galley apps. Definitely had USB debugging on this time. Thanks for your reply though.
