Download a file manager from the market or plug the phone into your computer as a disk drive.

Create a folder on your SD card called Music.

Copy the music on your internal storage to the Music folder on your SD card.

Do the same thing for pictures. Create a Pictures folder on your SD card and copy and paste.

Once copied you can delete them off the internal storage, it’s that easy.

The Gallery and Music app will find the new folders.

It's easy to do.
Just have your device on your computer mounted as a storage device.
two letters will come up, one for your phone and one for the sd card.

Most media will be in the DCM folder on the phone.
Just copy it from there onto a folder on your card.

I've tried the various file management apps and I also find it easiest to simply mount your device to your PC and locate the files you want to move and basically drag and drop. Make sure under picture and video settings that your default to is save to the SD card.

**BoredandTattooed** · 01-16-2013, 05:49 PM

Not screwed at all... Just open a file manager.. SD card will be listed under sdcard/ext_sd or sdcard/sdcard2

There is the play store icon. Launch that and type file manager. A bunch will come up.
