Haha yes that's exactly what I'm talking about. I had forgotten that formatting there is different than just a normal format

I apologize, I told you wrong. Click device management :/
haha it's all good. I did that but now i have another problem....it only gives me the option to format it to exFAT or NTFS

Odd, FAT32 is usually the default. But exFAT is okay. Your device will read it if its fixed.
okay i did it and it took a second. The disk managment thing says it is working fine so im going to plug it in and see if it works.

Fingers crossed 
Now im back to the beggining...i put it in my phone and it said preparing and then said i can now safely remove it. So i plugged it back into my computer and put some music on the card to see if it would load on my phone and it didnt make a difference. It REALLY sucks that it didnt work but i cant say it enoguh...thank you SOOOOOO much for trying to help me out. The only thin is i dont know if i should just get A 32 GB instead because it might work better or i heard that class 10 cards sometimes have problems so maybe i should just get like a class 4 or somethingFingers crossed

Yeah I'd say a class 4 or 6 and 32gb would be a good size. I think the class 10 just reads too fast. I was checking on something for a nook and you can run it from an SD and the guy even said don't use over class 6. But sorry I wasn't more help. You're welcome though, that's what these forums are for after all 
:biggrin: yup! I read somewhere about someone having the same problem but they downloaded a program that will let you format it to FAT32 because windows no longer lets you do it by default. I dont know if its true but im going to try and find a program like thatYeah I'd say a class 4 or 6 and 32gb would be a good size. I think the class 10 just reads too fast.

I'm running windows 7 and mine formats FAT32 by default. But I'm sure there's something out there. You might even be able to partition your SD into two smaller partitions. Well I know you can but not sure if it'll help.
I love you for the help! hahaha but ONE last question. Does the size of it matter? because i did want a 64 gb but if i have to go down to 32 i will

Well I've read about issues with the S3 not liking the 64gb cards. Although it is supposed to support them, but I think its more of an issue with the class of the card. Its really a judgement call. You could go yo a local electronics store and get a normal 32gb card and try.
That is most likely what i will do if its not too expensive there. i was looking at this card on amazon but like you said it is a judgement call

I personally have never had an issue with a normal SD I only got the ultra because it was the only 32gb they had. I was in a rush to try an internal external swap, I don't recommend that haha. But just look for a normal SD and it will most likely be cheaper. But again a judgement call.
