So I updated my LG G3 to Android 5.0.1 23C  and it won't recognize my SD card anymore. Plugged the phone into my mac via android file transfer, SD card doesn't show up. Can't located my minisd to sd card slot so that's not an option right now. This is the same card I've been using for years now, what can I do to fix this?

I unfortunately don’t have anything else that has a micro-sd slot. It was readable prior to the update though. Is there anything else I can do?

Try turning the phone off, pull the card, power the phone on and let it be on for at least 30 minutes. Then, power the phone off and reinsert the card. Power the phone on and wait 5-10 minutes. Check to see if it recognizes it then.

fish82,

Let's make sure we get your SD card working again.  What device was able to read the card properly? You may need to navigate to your Storage settings and format or erase the SD card. Please be advised that you'll want to back your information up to Verizon Cloud (http://vz.to/1rVG0ux) or another device before doing so. Let us know if you still need any assistance!

I have the same issue on my LG3.  Just updated today.. man does it suck.   Main thing.. is my SD card will not mount.   I have taken out the SD card...restarted... waited 30 min.. powered off reinserted the SD card.   Still not finding it.    SD card with all the pics worked before update.  Put the SD card in a micro converter sleeve and found everything on my card just fine.  Card is not corrupt.  Took a second Micro SD card that I use... and put that in the phone.... Still not finding it.

So what Now?

Yes mine does the same exact thing, found my micro SD adapter and plugged it into my computer and all my stuff is there. At this point would prefer to just revert my OS back to what it was before Lollipop

If you transfer everything off the card and reformat the card transfer everything back it will work. Its a pain but it's nice to have my sd card back
