my min sd card has these files on there which I cannot delete and the titles have odd characters. I'd try formatting it but I dont have a card reader. is there any other solution?
you can format it on the device itself
and also a card reader cost like 10$ so not much of an expense
I read somewhere in this forum yesterday someone mentioned that when he inserted a SD Card full of pictures, the built-in Picture Gallery in Honeycomb does not display the pictures in the SD Card. He can only open each picture one by one from the File Manager. Further comments from other folks clarified that Asus added/mounted the SD Card reader but Honeycomb native applications do not recognized them yet.
Is this the case for all media files stored in either microSD card or the full SD card? I mean, most people (especially the 16GB owner) surely plan to use the microSD or SD card to expand the storage of the device. But if those media files cannot be recognized by the Honeycomb application, that means we still need to copy to the internal storage for those files?
I do not have the transformer yet but want to know about it. Thanks!

Hopefully this will be addressed as honeycomb matures. You can however access the files using a file explorer app, far from ideal but it will do for now.
From the File Manager, can we copy a folder from the SD card to the internal storage?
Or from the SD Card to an extenal storage like HDD?
(I'm trying to ask if we can copy a bunch of pictures in a SD card (taken from a camera) and store them in the external storage for backup and internal storage for displaying in the tablet).

Yes, you can copy files and folders using the file manager.
I have no problems with any of the few thousand photos or few thousand songs i have on my micro SD. The transformer recognizes everything fine in gallery, music app etc...
16g transformer here.... Hope that helps.
Also, After the recent OTA a few days ago my sd card disappeared, but i just popped it out put back in and back to normal...

And hopefully with the 3.1 update in June can just plug the camera in and move the files across in the file explorer..
Gallery3D is a piece of crap. It doesn't refresh properly

So, if I get it correctly, the issue I mentioned earlier is only with the full SD Card? (not affecting the microSD)?
At least, that's not that bad (as in our smartphone, the Android does recognize all music, pictures stored in the microSD card).

I can only speak for myself but that is the case for me.
I am having the same problem. I tried putting a few cd's onto both the sd and mcsd and still nothing. I cannot get the songs to play in the music player. I can however access pictures but cannot find any of the songs. Anyone else have this problem?
Most people said as soon as they plug in the card the TF automatically recognizes the songs and plays. Mine does not and I cannot find them anywhere even with an explorer app installed? I am also a Android novice!
No problems with pictures..
Regarding music, Have you tried going into settings >manage Apps and delete/clear the cache for the music player? That worked for me.

I had the same problem, until I removed the Music from my internal storage.
Now the music app sees everything on the MicroSD.
I've not had much luck with them seeing stuff on the dock mounted SD cards though.
That did it!!!!!! WOoooohooooooo! Thanks man. Jeez why should that be so damn difficult?! Thanks a ton man,

No problem, glad it worked for you.

pictures work just fine. as people have said, music can be iffy, just clear the data and it'll work.
one thing though, anything plugged into the USB ports or SD slot on the dock WON'T load in any of the default apps. at least not on the 3 USB drives i've tried. you can still open everything from the file manager without any issues, but they won't show up.
Make sure your sdcard is formatted using fat32
You are welcome
How do you get the camera to save images to removable storage?
I have no issues with default music app and playerpro seeing all my music on my microsd card.

At this point you don't :-(
Hopefully 3.1 or a subsequent update will work all this out.

I don't think that matters - Transformer can read/write external USB hard drives formatted to NTFS; there's no reason why it shouldn't read NTFS cards, either (not that I've tried, as it's kinda rare to have one).
I have a pretty large Google Play Books library. I love reading books.
Anyone have an idea how to move the Google Play Books (3.1.33) to the SD card? I have the app on the SD Card but the Data is 463MB and it's being stored internally. Anyway to move this to the SD card via a hack or ?
Thanks,

Sd card whats the point if most app/games are install internal memory. No option for adapted storage, the hack seems to do more harm than good. Whe i download a big game. Even when i transfer file to sd, most memory stay in internal. I see almost no use for it

Why this thread if you have no use of a SD Card?
SD cards are not just for game storage, people keep their personal videos and pictures on them and like the ability to swap between devices and take their pictures and videos along.

I've exhausted my internal storage with apps and app data so I wouldn't be able to take pictures and video if it weren't for the SD card. I also store movies and TV shows for areas where I have no data. I can also pop in my Phantom 3's micro SD Card and view it's 2K footage.
I've got a 200GB which I used the hack to adopt... No troubles at all. I would much rather have this setup than no expansion path and just 64GB onboard.
be transferred to a micro SD card?
Personally, I transferred Facebook & Facebook Messenger to my SanDisk 200gig micro SD card and after doing so I clicked on my Facebook icon and my S7 Edge glitched & stuttered for a second and then went directly into boot loop. Even though I read online these two apps can be migrated to the SD card with the S7, and my phone easily made & recognized the transfer, something wasn't happy afterward.
Anyone else have similar experiences?

I personally don't transfer anything to SD card. It is slower than the internal memory. My SD card is for storage purposes only

So when you say Storage, you would be talking strictly photos, videos, music?
I ask because I am totally new to Android as well as having a SD card in a phone (having come from the iPhone world).
Thanks.

Yeah when I mean storage, literally EVERYTHING ELSE that isn't an app. Music, videos, pictures, documents, file back ups, pdfs, zip files to flash. It all goes on my SD card. Built in phone storage is for apps I download and whatever it stores in cache etc. I do have Spotify download offline playlist to my SD card as well. Any app that has it's own built in option to store downloaded data to the SD card, I'll do. There aren't many and it is normally just backups (SMS Backup Restore for example can back up all your texts and call log to external sd card).
