Help - unable to view photo files on SD card without attaching to camera (now damaged)
Hi,I've been using a 32GB SanDisk SD (HC I Class 10) with my Sony NEX-5 since I first got it without a problem. Recently I started being unable to be read the photos on the card in the DCIM folder via the SD Card reader on my computer (a 4GB file with no file extension and non-alphanumeric name was visible, but couldn't be opened or even copied). However it was at least manageable as the photos could be seen on the camera, and in Windows Explorer in date-sorted folders when the camera was connected. Unfortunately my camera was recently irreparably water-damaged so I can no longer download photos from the SD card by connecting the camera. I've downloaded PlayMemories software but this cannot recognize the photos on the card either (it wants me to connect the camera to 'register' it, which I can't). So my question is, given the above information, what software could I use to view / download my photos from this SD card? Many thanks for your help!!!!Nik
Try http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec But I think you've got a bigger problem. Flash memory devices fail. They don't fail all at once, but a little bit at a time. As it fails, it can handle it by remapping memory locations to spare locations. (The reliability of memory devices is dependant on the number of spare memory a device has, and SanDisk and Lexar generally have the most.) But when a device eventually runs out of spare memory locations, it goes down hard, and I think that's what happened to you. Good luck recovering your photos, but I'm not hopeful.

Viewing photos from an SD card
Is there a way to view photos from an SD card without actually importing them to iPad 4 (I'm low on available storage)?
Not currently. Maybe Apple will change the iOS firmware to allow this.
Send feedback to Apple requesting this.

Unable to view photos received via e-mail or texting
Hi,
I have been unable to view photos that I received via a text message. I do receive the yellow bubble alert telling me to download. After I hit the download button, it just hangs. I also attempted to send myself a photo from my work email address by mailing to [email protected] Again, I received the notification to download the photo and after hitting the download button--nothing! Am I doing something incorrectly? A setting to be made perhaps? FYI, I am running the latest update for the Charge.
Thx for the help!mikemoor wrote:
Well since nobody here responded, I called Verizon Tech Support directly. I was instructed to remove the battery while leaving the power on (that's important--do NOT power off!). Then depress the power button in succession twenty (20) times. Replace the battery cover and power up as normal. All fixed!!! Thanks to "Julius" at VZW. Obviously, this is some type of reset sequence for the Charge.
Depress the power button 20 times with the battery still out or after putting the battery back in? -

Unable to view video files in browser :[
Does anyone know why Safari is unable to view video files in the browser ??? I used to be able to view .mpg video files right in the browser and when viewing .wmv files Safari would open up Windows Media Player which would then play the file. I really dug that feature. Now when clicking on a .mpg video file, Safari simply downloads the file to my HD and that's it. Is there an easy fix for this issue ??? Hello !!! Anybody ???
Tell the QuickTime plug-in to play the file inside a browser window.
Open System Preferences/QuickTime and click the Advanced tab. Click the MIME Settings button and then put a check mark in MPEG media.
Quit and relaunch your browser for these changes to take effect. -
Unable to view PDF files in Infoview
I am unable to view pdf files in InfoView (Business Objects Edge Series XI 3.0)
When I select the pdf file from Infoview, I receive the message 'Do you want to save this file' which only allows me to save the document to a location on my computer.
Other users can view the file in Infoview, so it probably relates to a setting on my computer.
Any ideas?
ThanksI've had a little look on Adobe's knowledge base; try this to check whether the issue is related with opening PDF in your browser in general:
"Determine if the web browser can open the PDF file from your local hard drive rather than from the web:
In the web browser, choose File > Open (or Open File).
Choose All Files from the Files Of Type pop-up menu (Windows)
Click Browse
Select the PDF file you saved in step 1 of task 5, and then click Open to open the PDF file. If Acrobat or Adobe Reader displays the file, but won't display it on the web, the web server has a problem serving the PDF file. Contact the webmaster of the site from which you downloaded the PDF file."
If so, try the troubleshooting steps mentioned here:

Unable to view pdf files in IE 11.
Unable to view PDF files in IE 11, Winows 7. Works fine in Google Chrome on same pc. Everything is up todate.
See the solution at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2716529
However, that Fix-it won't work on Windows 7; you will need to make the registry change manually. Download, unzip, then run the attached registry script to change that registry value. -
I am using safari 6.0.3 I am unable to view PDF files online - I reset safari - did nothing - any ideas? thank you
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again. -

If you didn't import them to Photos or copy them to the hard drive there will be no way to recover them.
How did you view them? -
Can I restore photo files from Time Machine without the use of an external drive? While I was transferring photos back and forth from a thumb drive something went haywire and my IPhoto was wiped clean! When I click on Time Machine I see all the dated pages (without an external storage drive connected), go back to a date where all my photo files are there, click "restore", and I get the message: "The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in file cant be read or written (error code - 36)"
Thanks so much Terence. I tried some of the fixes from that page, but then discovered the suggestion to compress the Time Machine Back up of the original library and transfer it as a zip back to my computer as detailed here:

That worked like a charm. I really appreciate it. -
Is there a way of viewing photos from a USB stick without adding them to my iPhoto Library
Is there a way of viewing photos from a USB stick without adding them to my iPhoto Library? I am using OS Snow Leopard.
Use the Preview application. If you have it in your dock you can drag a group of photos to the icon and they'll open with the first picture large and the rest as thumbnails to the side. Use the buttons at the top to go to the next picture and zoom in or out.

NMH405 - Unable to view any files using the FIle Browser
Hello,
I logged in to the FIle Browser, hoping to delete some photos from my media hub. However, I am unable to view any music, photo, or video files on this page, nothing listed. All blank when I clicked on these 3 folders.
No problems accessing the actual files in their respective pages. I could play the music and video files, and view the photos. But I can't carry out any maintenance on them via the File Browser.
Checked the User Guide, but couldn't find any clues to this problem. Could someone please help me?
Thanks!Hi there,
Files that were imported and stored on the Import Folder won't be detected on the NMH File Browser. You may only see them if you manually classify the files to it's corresponding folder.
It means, you need to move the files based on their file type. AVIs, WMV, etc. should be placed on your Videos folder .. Mp3s, Wavs, etc. should be moved to the Music folder .. Jpgs, Gifs, etc. should be moved to Pictures folder ..
Hope this clarifies your concern.
Cheers! -
I have hundreds of .mod files which are supported but I am unable to view them on my Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. I cant see the picture icons as pictures or see the vision when i select them? I am running the latest Windows 8.1 PC with heaps of Ram and memory. If I import the files into Premiere they play fine?
Thanks Curt and 'Mylenium'
I did re-set the prefs - but to no avail
I checked and my graphics driver and audio is all up to date.
No sure how to verify Windows Media Player's hardware acceleration options. I opened WMP Options /Perfformance tab and under Cd the DirX tab is checked.
Running Windows Vista - so does the same caution apply regarding a re-install of Windows Media Components and DirectX ?
Appreciate your help with this somewhat frustrating issue. I am converting some old 8mm film to avi with the hope of doing some edits then burning to DVD.

Photoshop Elements 8 - unable to view RAW files
Hi.
I have been using Adobe Elements 8 since it came on to the market. I use Canon Cameras and my latest one being a 1Dmkiv.
When I got the Canon 1D I down loaded the appropriate RAW file I think it was 5.6 and followed the instructions and changed the Camera Raw.8bi file and it worked perfect and I was able to view and edit Raw files.
Last week my computer failed and I have had a new hard drive and hence have had to upload all my software. I installed Elements 8 back onto the computer and reinstalled the photograph catalogues I had backed up within Elements 8 before the computer crash.
When the photographs in the catalogues were viewed only JPEG files were visible, the raw files are shown as a a grey negative with a zig zag across them. I thought that I would have to upload again the lates RAW update, which I did and went through all the instructions as given by Adobe. I changed the Raw.8bi file within Elements 8 and I still am unable to view any Raw files within Elements 8. I desperately need access to these files. Any help would be appreciated
Best regardsThanks so much for your reply. My problem appeared to be that most of the thumb
nails had lost their links and I had to individually update the thumbnails from within the program. It wasn't a problem
with the RAW file not being updated.
