I copied all my files from a 4 GB to a 16 GB SD card via OS X Finder, and lost quite a bit of system files that my Android can't find. Is there a trick to get everything to transfer?

By default, Finder does not display files beginning with a .
, for example a .config
directory or some such. To copy all the files, open Terminal.app, and enter cp -R /Volumes/4gig/android/ /Volumes/8gig/new
, replacing the file paths with those you actually want to copy. The -R
stands for recursive, copying the source directory and all subdirectories.
