I have a galaxy s5. MY photos and music are on my sd card but they don't show up in my gallery or music apps.

Re: cannot get my photos and music from sd card

Welcome to Android Central! Are they in their own directories? Make sure there isn't a file called .nomedia in any of the SD directories.

If you use a file manager app on the phone, can you see the photos and music in the SD card that way? If not, the card itself might be faulty or corrupt. Try a different card.
