4.1.1 does not show pics and music files all of a sudden - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any suggestions... (I've eliminated any problems with FireKat and PopRocks. They are solid)
Running FireKat V20 (4.1.1.) SD card tested and is readable/writeable (128Gb). Pics are in proper DCIM\Camera folder on SD. Music is in Music\ folder on SD. (some players find music but "PlayerPro" and "Sound Picker" do not find music. Cannot change ringtone with Sound Picker or other programs (says unable to change ringtone). The pics will only show in Gallery by displaying through Picasa. These problems also occur even on stock rom before flashing custom rom. Oh, also tried "fix permissions".
I've tried everything I could think of including Odin back to beginning several times. Tried PopRocks rom, no joy. Believe my I've tested and experimented with a lot of stuff but cannot solve the problem.
Any suggestions to help correct finding my pics and music on SDCard would be appreciated.......

Update Pics & Music only on Internal storage
I've determined that pics and music do show up if stored in "Internal" storage.
If I copied all pics & Music to internal storage I can see all.
Is there a way to "move" those files from internal to external storage other than just moving in root explorer??

are you doing a factory reset/clean flash after odin, if not make sure you do so, and also format your sd card using your device instead of your computer

Yes, factory reset/clean flash wiping everything except SD Card many times to try and find the problem. I'll try wiping and formatting the sd card, I have not done that yet.
Thanks!

[Q] Music folder ?

My hero is rooted with th cs buffed rom but forsome reason i dnt have a folder to put the music on my sd care & when i make a folder to put the music in the media player wont read it........im lost & i need my music !
Is the "Music" folder capitalized and in the root of your SD card? I'm not sure if that matters or not but mine was capitalized "Music" by default.
Or you may just need to reformat your SD card. I can't think of why it wouldn't read or play files from a "Music" folder unless it's having trouble reading the SD card somehow. Try reformatting the SD card (after backing up everything on it) and then reload all your files on it and try again.
Ok well i already reformated the sd card & well that didnt work but i just renamed the folder to "Music" im rebooting the phone now as we speak so hopefully it works & it didnt & now im strating to get mad
You may need to reformat the SD card (again), then reflash/reinstall the buufed ROM to your phone again (after a full data wipe). I've read some posts where some people have to reformat their cards after switching between AOSP and Sense ROMs, so it could be that you need to reinstall the ROM after you have freshly formatted the card.
That is probably an annoying fix though to have to wipe and start over, so if I come across anything else that may be better, I'll post back again.

Backup data, reformat card, put music back on. Open up Music player and it should find it (might take awhile depending on how much music you have)

[Q] Phone storage

Hello and thanks for reading. This being my first android im a bit confused as to how the storage works. From what I can tell I have Internal phone storage of 1.66GB , Internal SD of 13.03GB and external SD of 1.84GB. Now I know the External SD is the one i placed into the phone. I recently did a factory reset and re-formated the external sd.
The problem im having is when trying to place pictures, music, ect onto the external SD card there is no files whatsoever. So I have no idea where to place the files. Also with the internal sd and phone storage I have no idea what files are needed and what ones are left over from apps ect I previously uninstalled. So does anyone know what files are supposed to be on the external sd and what files must be on the internal/phone storage? Thanks in advance.
Ok so i just changed the camera option to save on SD card...took a random pic, and the DCIM file was created. Still would like to know what the default files are on the internal and phone storage if anyone can help. Thanks.
It doesn't really matter where you place them, media scanner will pick them up.

[Q] Phone Storage Missing and Unaccessible

Hi,
My Galaxy Note N7000 have some issue. I hope I can get some answers:
I recently took photos with Camera Apps, and as I got home I want to checked the photos on my gallery apps and it said:
"Not Enough Spaces. Delete Unecessary Items." and then it didn't open. I thought that I have took too much photos but when I checked on Settings my internal memory has disappear. The only thing that shown is my external SD Card.
So I tried to connect my phone to PC but this happened:

I can't get to my internal storage.
FYI, I didn't root my phone. All apps are working fine. I have apps that installed to external storage.
So, I tried to flash it via odin, hoping that my files are still intact (I don't want to lose the files) And no luck either. I have wiped the cache, no luck either. On My Files apps, it says "No SD card inserted"
Can anyone give me a solution for this? I don't want to lose the files. I want to back it up but I can't get access to internal storage.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] My phone doesn't read anything on internal storage

The images, music and video files i put onto the internal storage doesn't come up in the album, video or walkman or other apps that can read these files but if you manually just open the file with those listed app it works but the properties are all unknown and stuff, however when i put these files onto a Micro SD card it reads it perfectly. Though when i take pics and gets saved in internal storage that still gets read.
i tried force stopping it and clearing data and stuff, reset no luck. Help

Copy everything you have on your internal storage to your pc and then copy them back to your storage. Sometimes that works.
