The MicroSD card can be inserted into the tablet whether the device is on or off. Heed these ... to your tablet. The tablet works with or without a MicroSD card installed. ... To use a MicroSD card with a computer, you need an SD card adapter.

First, go to Settings > Storage and check if the "Default write disk" is set to "SD card". Then go to Settings > Apps and swipe to the left until you get to "SD card". Below will be all the Apps that can be be moved to the external SD card. Click in the box on the right and another page will come up. About in the middle of the page will be "MOVE TO SD CARD" tab. Tap on it and wait until it finishes. Then go back and pick another App to move. You should be able to download apps directly to the external SD card. I haven't done that on this device and not all apps will download to the external SD card (the app maker can restrict downloads to only the internal memory. This tablet is one of the rare few Android devices that allow moving Apps to external memory.

you need a file manager app to move the files from the internal storage of the phone to your microSD card

You probably have to download and then mo e it. Try relocating already downloaded ganes/apps and photos to make room

Good afternoon Linda!

You can view your manual here
RCA RCT6077W2 Manuals . If you go to page 10
RCA RCT6077W2 User Manual Micro usb Headphone Micro Sd it notes a couple of important caveats on the card:

1. You can use MicroSD or MicroSDHC type cards
2. Size limit of 32GB
3. You are warned never to insert or remove the MicroSD card in 'On' mode (i.e. only insert/remove the card when the tablet is off)

Aside from that, it looks like things should work. To be sure on what is the root of the issue, you can:

1. Insert your card into another device to verify that it works
2. Format or Re-Format the card - the SD Card association has a formatting app here:

• Make sure the card is legit. If it was purchased, for instance, off of Ebay, or other not-so-top-tier online store, as likely as not it's a fake made in China, likely with guts from manufacturing rejects. You might, for instance, get a card marked 32Gb that actually has a 2Gb chip in it with a hacked controller that says it's 32Gb. It'll seem to work OK for a few files, and at some point will just write your files into no-where. SD Insight, a free checker app for Android phones can be picked up here

There are two ways:

• From computer. Use micro USB cable,connect it to tablet. Computer will detect the tablet as storage device. Open explorer. Copy your files from computer to tablet in the folder where you want to store/save.

• Use micro SD card. Insert microSD card to computer/laptop. Copy your files to microSD card. Remove microSD card. Insert it on your tablet. Access the files. To access files on microSD card, you can see on this video :

Video is courtessy of Youtube - RCA.

You also can use flashdisk as a files transfer storage.
If using flashdisk,transfer procedur is same as for microSD.
If using flashdisk,you need miniUSB to USB adapter. See photo:
I hope this help.

I have a couple of android tablets. To transfer files to the microSD card, I plug the USB cable into my laptop where the files are and make sure it is *connected as a media device* in Settings or the drop-down menu in the Kit Kat operating system. Then I use Windows File Manager to choose and copy files to the SD card. Windows File Manager displays the android device and shows the internal storage and the microSD card storage. Be sure to open the SD card storage by clicking on it and then create a folder called Downloads if there isn't one already there by that name and then copy your .pdf files into that folder. If you wish to create a sub-filed in the Downloads folder called PDF to keep things better organized you can do that as well.

Good luck.

It has very limited memory allocated for apps. It only amounts to about 661 megabytes. The entire SD card shows about 5.5 gigabytes most of which will probably be available for whatever but not for apps. Apps can only be written to the small app partition.

The unfortunate reality is if you allow automatic updates from the Google Store to update the native apps, there will NOT be enough room for them all and you will get a *no more space available* error message. So, turn off automatic updates in Settings in the Store ASAP! If you install an external microSD card in the slot in the back you might be able to move some of your apps to it using the Apps function in Settings on your tablet. This will free us some extra space on the built-in SD card. But, unfortunately, the native apps can't be moved. But, some can be disabled and some you can delete the data and the cache. But, don't delete the data on the ones you use or all your mail, accounts etc will go away and you'll just have to set it up and download mail again.

Amber,
I think your problem may be due to it downloading into the internal memory of the tablet. There may be a way of moving the apps into the external micro sd card rather than deleting them.

" Go into settings, then to storage, then to used space, then to applications. In applications manager go to sd card there will be a list of your applications, touch/click on each one individually and within each one that can be moved, is a box "move to sd card" touch that box and wala it is moved! To move pictures I reset the cameras auto storage to the sd card then moved all my other pictures to the camera file which then stored them on the sd card. I then deleted the pictures from the system memory. Hope this helps! "

See about moving from onboard storage to the microSD card to clear up space.
