Can't view items from SD card on the phone. HELP!

[csierra72]

When I try to look at my photos and various items on my SD card from the phone, I can't. If I plug it up and view via my computer, everything is still there. What can it be and how do I correct it. Thanks in advance.

is it mounted or unmounted? when you go into SD Card and Phone Storage does it show your space or unavailable? You can try moving everything to your PC and reformatting the SD card then putting everything back

It shows me my available and used space. I already tried moving and reformatting. My custom icons came back but I still can't view anything.

Just went into Astro and checked. Thumbnails are there. What kind of change would I have to make?

I had this issue too... Here is how I repaired it.

Connect it to a Windows PC using the USB cable...
Select Disk Drive on the screen when it asks.
After it connects, run a scan disk on the phone... tell it to repair all errors automatically.

After that ran... i restarted the phone and it was all good.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot shortly.

They do. Getting off work but will try what notlehs suggested once I get home. Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Hopefully I can get this resolved.

Still no luck. Swapped SD cards and all was good for about half a day and then it stopped working again. Just got off the phone with Sprint and they are going to send me another phone.

Absolutely. They said they couldn't figure it out so they would ship me a new phone out asap. Got tracking info this morning.

Got it fixed. A poster on XDA suggested I look for a file named .nomedia on my card and sure as hell there was. Thanks for the suggestions though.
