Iconia MicroSD

[akramy]

I recently bought an Iconia A500 32GB from Costco (thanks for the recommendations). Out of the box worked flawlessly. Last week I bought a 32GB Sandisk MicroSD card and popped it in. My tablet wouldn't pick it up. I go settings>storage and nothing there. Anybody came across this problem before?

Thanks for the help.

I had to cycle the power off and back on before it recognized my card.

And make sure your card is formatted as a single FAT32 partition.

Download USB Mount All from the market, it will mount the card for you if for some reason the iconia isnt detecting it.

Thanks guys, that worked.

Curious, which method worked for you? I will be getting a card sometime next week myself and just trying to be prepared... Been using my tablet since it came out at BB and I rarely use my laptop (except for netflix...). Waiting for the OTA 3.1 update....

My Iconia has worked flawlessly out of the box since day one. I mounted a 16gb microsd card without any problems, though I did reboot the iconia before looking for the card, but that just an automatic response after so many years on windows, install someting new - then reboot.
The external usb drive does not need booting before using it, works just fine but it seems as though a lot of people are having problems finding the micro sd without a reboot first.
Android doesn't require a reboot when you install new apps so we get out of the pc habit of having to restart whenever we install something new.
So if mounting a new microsd card, try a reboot before looking for the card.

So, I think maybe I am in the same situation or am I????
I put in a formatted SD card. In settings/Storage/External SD card it shoes 7.49GB.
When I cable the tablet to my Laptop, click open device to view files, all it shows is Device storage. No secondary storage at all.
Also, when I try to USE Apps2sd to move apps, it would appear it doesn't see the SD card.

Any suggestions would be great!!!

Try the reboot method for the sd card & see if that works, or you could try Fumetsu's suggestion above, he IS the man with ALL of the answers.
Did you download the Acer usb update for your laptop from the acer homepage?
I didn't download the update on my laptop as my laptop is seriously low on available space and the HD is failing..time for a new machine..so I cant offer any assistance on the acer update apart from suggesting it.

According to ACER Support, the SD card is not accessible via USB.
