How do I move data and / or pictures to my SD card so I can have more memory?

If you have option to install SD card then do it and move some pictures, videos, songs and apps to SD card. If you have laptop that doesn't accept memory cards: you must delete something.

sd card is automatically recognized, however you need to

- set default storage as sd card
- also move apps and data to sd card from memory/storage setting menu individually.
Yet many apps occupy main ram and refuse to release space

Most apps only use the SD card to store their data. The actual install is on the phone/tablet memory. If you are changing phones, there are many backup programs that allow you to back up selected apps to your desktop PC and restore to your new phone. I believe some may backup the app to your SD card also, however the PC backup is easier for me.

Move Apps to SD Card Using Application Manager

1. Navigate to settings on your phone.You can find the settings menu in the app drawer.
2. Tap Application Manager.
3. Select an app you want to move to the microSD card.
4. Tap the Move to SD Card button. If you don't see a Move to SD Card button, the app cannot be moved.

How to Move Android Apps to an SD Card - Tom's Guide

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! "

Hi if you want transfer your apps on sd card go to setting- application manager- choose the app and there you will see a move to SD card button, just press it and after a while your app gona be transferred to memory card. You need do it for every app sepretlly. If you want store a photo's on it go to camera- setting and there press storage and choose memory card. With music create a folder music on it using my files and player should detect it automaticlly if not navigate there.

If you need more help let me know.

Hi, My guess is that you don't have enough memory to hold any more data. Or the memory is bad and has to be replaced. Good luck.

As far as i know this meathod usually works with apps. First you go to settings, second you go to storage, third you go to something like apps, fourth you select an app, fifth you select move to SD card or move to internal memory depending on where you have your data saved. I hope this helps anyone with this problem, im no expert but i will try my best to help

Sounds like you are saving to the SD card and it has a corruption. See if you can save successfully to the device memory. If so then backup all the SD data and replace the card.

You may need more space--try deleting data or apps from the tablet's internal memory. Move what you can to external memory--probably your micro-SD card (if available, and that's possible--given certain apps, that may not prove possible). Always, it's a great idea to take some time to delete data, cache (temporary memory) and apps proving harmful or no longer necessary! Your micro-SD card (or other compatible external storage) generally isn't included with tablets or phones--you may purchase the cards at stores or online.
