This problem happened to me. All the pics/music is still there so all I did was cut/paste the effected media to my computer and cut/paste it back. Showed up right away. No need for wiping, deleting, rebooting, all that is unnecessary.

Okay...wife's phone still jacked up. Tried again looking for .nomedia files. Found only 2 this time. Did all the cache/data clearing and still nothing.
Croots, tell me exactly what you did to cut/paste. If your computer can't see the files either, are you doing this from your phone? I am thinking maybe the only way to fix her phone is to upload them to dropbox or something similar, then move them back. I have a feeling it will still show nothing though.
Would a data wipe and flash to a new ROM fix this issue as well?

Quick question... if I connect the phone to the PC and got to the camera, older pictures will show up if I have thumbnail chosen but some just come up with a box and file name. If I cut and move it to a different folder the picture shows up, when does it not show up the the camera folder?

is there any other app that causing this nomedia??
because i dont have rom manager but nomedia files keep appearing on my SD card even after i deleted it.

Since there are a few disparate threads and posts on this, I wanted to unify them so it's easier to find the info for newcomers

ROM Manager recently updated, and for some unholy reason, decided to drop a ".nomedia" file into your SDcard. This means any media contained within your SDcard does not show up anymore. Here's what you do.

FIrst, uninstall and delete ROM Manager from system/app.

Second, find any and all .nomedia files in your sdcard folder and delete them.

Third, clear the caches of any and all affected apps, such as Gallery, Media Storage, Play Music, etc. Update: you may need to clear data in the Media Storage app as well.

Fourth, reboot your device into recovery, wipe cache/dalvik.

Fifth, reboot and it should be fine.

Any and all other fixes should be listed in here as well.

Do not reinstall ROM Manager until this issue is fixed; even with the new update users are still finding the same issue, so I'd wait a few days.

So, i wait a fast response cuz Im desperate, sorry for bad english.
My phone randomly restarts, all my apps that i used before the restart are there, open, but my music and photos are gone.. Some help? Pls..
