hey gang,
I can't seem to view my photos, music and videos on my fascinate anymore. I know people are going to say your media card is busted but I can view and play my media on Astro and I can access & play my roms from my SD card for my emulators. Can anyone think of why my media isn't showing up? Thanks in advanced.
 
If there is a file in the directory called .nomedia the Gallery app will not show it. Some apps and file managers have the ability to place this file into a directory to purposely hide it from the gallery.

Given none of your content is showing up, unless your content is all in one directory, I would check the root of the SD card for a .nomedia file.

Thanks for the help. I didnt think of looking for a .nomedia file in the root of my SD card. Problem solved. Thanks so much.
