I have a 7" Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 with Android 4. I have installed a 32 microSd card, but csn't move any files over to it. I'be tried the solutions on this forum without success-my pages and menus don't look the same. I'd especially like to get downloaded files onto the card. Can someone help?

You would need to be running at least Android "Marshmallow" to be able to set the SD card as "Internal" rather than the standard "External" which allows for apps to run off the card.
Moving the photos, videos, etc. I would also suggest clearing out data in the apps you run all the time just make sure it isn't something you need by going into "Setting" You can cause major problems for the phone.
Huawei with their Kitkat update for the P6 — or root see my list of Other storage media tools for examples. If you do not want to go the latter way rooting , and the former way fix by manufacturer is not available, you can only do minimal things on Kitkat:. Apart from that, you could only hope and wait for a Lollipop update — which will not completely fix the issue, but at least slightly defuse it.
As long as you don't hit any storage limits, you might be mostly fine. Nevertheless, I recommend you already familiarize yourself with potential solutions for the day your data "hit the roof", so you won't be forced to "act in a hurry" then.

Because Google's decision to drop app-to-SD support constituted a significant departure from OS's both before and since, tablet manufacturers really ought to release a courtesy OS update for Android devices that sold with their microSD functionality crippled from the get-go.
If the manufacturer indicates that your tablet physically can't support an update, that's one thing. But if they respond with the "We don't know" and "There are no plans", you may wish to inform them that you will not repurchase their products.
Because of the widespread confusion this lost functionality caused, devices that can support a more current OS ought to receive an update for the express purpose of restoring app-to-SD functionality. With Lollipop there are added benefits, too, including improved battery usage and more efficient processor utilization. Short of rooting devices that shipped with this "impaired" version of the Android OS, there is no solution aside from a manufacturer update.
Manufacturers, in turn, are more likely to consider software updates if they receive direct consumer feedback. I was able to transfer my photos and videos by plugging the tablet to the pc and transferring files from the tablets internal storage to the tablets sd card through the laptop.

I've been looking for a solution since the day I got this phone. HTC, you disappointed me. I fail to understand what bennifit if any disabling the ability to write to the sd card has to anyone other than data providers.
If I wanted to be limited on storage I would get a iPhone. Yeah, get this! It's "by design"! How do I "root" what ever that means my samsung galaxy tab pro I want my sd card freedom back!
Had I knew about this trouble with the SD card I wouldnt have bought this p. A lot of issues with SD cards and data transfer are caused by old Sandisks from Dec or before that have a known bug issue. There should be a number there, a "U" with a "1" in it is UHS-1, a circle with a "10" in it is a Class 10 card. Older cards will typically show a circle with a "2", "4", or "6" in them denoting a Class 2, Class 4, or Class 6 card.
Great point! I've had countless issues with older memory cards, specifically from Sandisk. The unreliability of their cards makes the whole system somewhat unreliable, which is the main reason why Google has pushed to eliminate SD card support from their devices, hence the reason why they, through Android KitKat update, have all but disabled support for non-rooted users. It's not google that's the issue.
