not able to access phone memory

ok, so... issue is, i go into applications and into "my files" but i can only explore the SD card files, before, i was able to go through the phone files as well, and now i cant. even when i connect to the computer and sync, it only lets me look around the SD card files....
the problem is i have "some pictures" on the phone that need to be removed but not deleted, how can i put them on the SD card or straight to the computer???

Use Astro File Manager, or better yet Root Explorer if you're rooted. My Files is extremely basic.

Downloaded astro. Found the files but feel stupid because it ended up being in dcim on the sd card. Thank you very much for your help.
There's just one more issue,i tried copying a file from the sd card into the font folder of the phone but it wouldn't let me.any idea why?

You need root access to do that, and Root Explorer, because RE uses Superuser and Astro does not.

No. I copy back and forth all day. Your cable or sd card is probably going bad.

Cannot delete or move nandroid backups

Could some one help me out here? I tried connecting my phone to PC. I was able to access storage, however, I couldn't access " data/media/clockwork" from there since I only seem to have access to my phones sdcard folder.
Next I used root browser to try and move the files to my SD card. Didn't work. It copy and pasted but the file either didn't get copied or its size was 0 bytes. Tried deleting one backup. It says is been successfully deleted but it stays there and no space frees up on my phone. I'm clueless as to what I should be doing next. Anyone?
Thanks in advance

Move or copy the clockworkmod file straight to the sdcard. System and Data files are not viewable on the pc. Just copied a nandroid to the sdcard with Root Explorer, no problem and it shows up when connected to the pc.

You can also delete backups when in CWM itself, in case you didn't know

Thanks for help guys. It was a simple solution, but often the simple things are overlooked. There must have been something wrong with my superuser permission. Restart fixed it.

Download to SD Card

Question I remember with my Galaxy Note II I could download files from the internet and they would download to a folder called Downloads on the SD Card and not on the internal memory, but now with the Galaxy S4 it downloads to the internal memory and not the SD Card. Is there a way to hack this or configure it to download to SD Card?

Go to Stock browser, i.e. "Internet". Go to Settings > Content Settings > Default storage. Select Memory Card. Done.

Glad I could help. Hit thanx
THANKS IS NOT SOMETHING TO SAVE, IT'S SOMETHING TO GIVE OUT

Instead of using a Card Reader you can also just simply copy the files to the root of your extSdCard and then move it to Sdcard0/Android/obb using ES or any other File explorer works for me
