Root Music/Camera not finding saved files

So my ally is still 2.1-1 I've never had a problem playing music on my phone or finding photos I've taken. I can locate all of the files in their proper folders through Astro with my SD card. But the apps like Music player and Camera don't show any saved files when I try to play something or view a taken video or picture they arent there, but in astro they are. Any ideas? Even changing ringtones if I select "music" it says SD card not inserted or no music files. Yet they show in astro so I know it's reading the SD card.
 
If it it says "SD card not inserted" does your phone mount the SD Card when you reboot it? The only things I can think of is copy your SD Card files to a folder on your computer, format the card, and copy them back. If you know your SD card is good, try a factory reset.
 
wont a factory reset ruin my root? And I tried to copy the files to my hard drive, portions say can not locate .zip or something close to that and then bypasses files and idk if they are necessary because it doesnt show which files.
 
If you can't access it through the phone, and you don't have a card reader in your puter, there are usb microsd card readers that you can use to get the files off with, then format the card in the phone. I don't know if walmart or staples sells them, but compusa does.
