SD card issue on Note 3 help (Files "protected)

[Bark4Soul]

I just activated a Note 3 and took installed a 64gb sd card in it, I moved everything over from my gs4's 16gb card to this, but when I accessed the music I see that it created folders for the albums but only transferred maybe a song or two off the album if that at all, most were just empty folders, all my pictures transferred just fine. So I open up the file system on windows explorer and try and delete some of the songs and it tells me that I can't delete it because it is locked or protected, I formatted the card right before I installed it, just curious if this is the sd card or Android messing with me, any ideas how to fix this without formatting this (again) :dry:

I had similar problems with my 64gb card. When I put it in my computer all the files were there but in my phone many of my music file were missing. I copied every thing to my computer. Copied all the my 32gb card and it was shiny.

lol I wanted to do this without formatting it, however if I do should I format the card inside the Note or on a computer? I did it inside the phone a few days ago

FOrmat it and then try that or what? I formatted it inside the phone last time, is there a way to tell if it's the card or the phone?

Format in the phone, at least that's what I did.

Okay I'll give it a shot here after work. I also have apps crashing a lot more than I did on my S4. Any idea there?

Just formatted the card, gonna throw an album and maybe a book on it to see if they are accessible.

So far music seems to be accessible, still having a few random apps (Family Guy Quest for Stuff, Cover Art downloader, etc) crash randomly like clockwork, I guess that is another thread for somewhere on here? However, the music is accessible. I've been able to pull up a few books and comics too so far, slowly adding everything back to it again.

So I think I figured out half of this problem, I think I have a cheap ass SD card, I bought this a few months ago

http://www.amazon.com/class-Micro-M...sd+class+10&tag=androidcentral00-20&m1k=vb_ac

Saw from another thread that these are garbage and you get what you pay for with it. So I am going to hit up Bestbuy tomorrow and buy a quality one. Any insight on this by chance?

That will do it ...I'd check Amazon for a good one ..plenty great SanDisk ones ..

You can get a SanDisk Ultra 64GB MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS Memory Card Speed Up To 30MB/s With Adapter from Amazon for $35. I have one and have not had any issues.

That is a great deal. I don't want to wait but if you have a link I might snatch that up asap
