I have transfered some apps to a new sc card but can't get them back to the android. Sc card manager, clipper, Link2sccard haven't helped. It's starting to look like the sc card is a total waste of money. The apps are now folders on the sc card. I can copy or cut but don't know how to paste. What's the usual procedure? More and more frusrated :confused:

If I understand you correctly, then the below info might be what you need to do:

Copy the entire contents of the card into a temporary folder on a PC, swap cards and copy the contents to the new card.

The SD card should be formatted FAT32, but there have been some issues with block size and larger cards so the best way to assure compatibility is to shut off your phone, put the new card in and format it using the option in menu>settings>storage.

When copying files make sure you copy ALL files and folders including the hidden ones.

Thank you. but it sounds like I need 2 cards and I'm reluctant to get another as I regret buying the original. If the apps are moved to the pc can the original sc card not do?

With Astro, click on the apk and open App Installer. From there you should be able to install the app on your phone.
