Over the last week I get this message SD card (scandisk 32gb) unexpectedly removed Insert a new card, and it will show no pictures or music basically the card has nothing on it or is not there. Then it will say preparing card and everything works. Then it will do it over and over. Any ideas I tried to even reformat using the phone and that did not work everything is still on it, when it recognizes that the card is there.

try changing the card, if the new works, your old card is defective
If you can put your card in a card reader, then put it on your computer, and if possible move the files on the card to your computer.
Then, use this program to reformat it:

Then transfer files back to the card and reinsert the card back into the phone
