Image browser "memory card utility" downloading to wrong date folder

Mac OSX 10.7, Image Browser 6.9.0.3 (9L)
I own 5Dmarkii and 60D. When I insert memory card, Memory Card Utility (1.7.0.0.9L) launches. I select Download, and program transfers to my computer. No fancy settings, just standard.
Both cameras date setting is correct, and image efix data is correct for date and time shot. Computer system date and time correct.
Pictures taken prior to 5:00pm are filed in a folder with previous days date. Photos after 5:00pm are filed in correct days folder.
Driving me nuts..... Help please

I'm having the same issue. The Canon software behaves as though it catagorizes the photos (and names them, based on the way I'm importing them) based upon what day it was/is in England (I think it uses GMT when making the date classification)
For me, it is also usually an annoyance, but sometimes it's more frustrating. If I want my files named by date, correctly, then I have to re-name all the photos taken after 4:00 pm (16:00).
Yes, my camera (7D) and computer (MacBook Pro) have their date and time settings correct. (I tried changing the time zone my camera was set to to see if it changed the problem, and it didn't. The Canon software is mis-placing the photos based on the date.)
I might try this workflow on a Windows machine, and see if it persists.
Anyone have any ideas?

Inserted memory card to upload photos to iPhoto and received this message "no images on memory card meet download conditions".

I've been using my memory card from my Canon camera to upload photos to iPhoto. No problem. I attempted to use my daughter's memory card from her Canon camera (different model) and I get a pop up window stating "No images on memory card meet the download conditions." Can anyone tell me why or what I can do so I can save these photos to my iPhoto?

Well still the best guess is
the best guess is incorrect settings (as far as Mac iPhoto is concerrened) on her Canon Camera
Give image capture (in your application foder) a try and see what it sees
Do yu have a card reader? If so try it and see what the finder sees on the card

Since updating the new version of Firefox my Memory Card to download photos wont work. Anyone help? (Please explain in simple terms, im a novice) thank you.

I regulardy used my Memory Card to download pictures, but its only since updating the new version of Firefox it wont read the Memory Card. I have no information on the screen of my computer when I put the Memory Card in.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

LR 3.3 doesn't allow "Add" for images on memory card?

Hi there,
so far I've been using LR 3.2 and as part of my workflow I simply used "Add" for import to index the files on my memory card, inspected them and move unwanted files to trash, etc. before moving the remainder over to my NAS storage for further work. Now in LR 3.3 I can only select "Copy as DNG" and "Copy" as possible operations on my memory card, no "Move", no "Add".
What's up with that? Any way to fix that or do I really need to downgrade to 3.2 to be able to work again?
Any help would be really appreciated.

First of all: Thanks for all your suggestions how I might change my workflow to make it more secure and work with LR even in the future. It's really appreciated. However, and I know I'm repeating myself here, I deliberately bought LR specifically because one of 3 or 4 options that supported my established and perfectly working workflow; if I didn't care I would be using Aperture now since it is not only cheaper but has some quite clever features even LR doesn't have. BTW: If I didn't care about the UI I would be using Bibble which also supports my workflow but is inferior in usage and processing quality IMHO. LR 3.2 has broken my workflow in a very subtle but nasty way and there's just no way I will change my workflow just to keep continue using LR. I want to be absolutely independent of any vendor -- working with catalogs/libraries/databases is okay as long as it's only for temporary memorization of changes.
degger, I can understand your desire to do a review of the images before having to copy them anywhere, be it a temporary or final location. It could certainly save some time if there are a lot of images that simply don't need to ever make it off the card. Where I get a little confused is that you don't seem to be wanting to do it to save time. You cite bandwidth and storage concerns, and working off a laptop.
I'm not sure how extra steps and copies would save me any time. Really, it doesn't get any faster than this:
1) Index/Render preview of all images on card
2) Inspect those images and remove coasters (note that inspection might require zooming, comparing images for the best shots, applying some temporary modifications like rotation/crop/exposure correction to check whether the RAW base is good enough for later use)
3) Move the remainder of the images (RAW+JPEG) to their final destination and clear the card
4) "Add" the images from their final location into LR again and apply the real modifications, exporting the results back to the final location
Simple, minimizes burden on "final destination", minimizes local disc space use and is safe enough for my use.
As I said before: memory cards can and will(!) break at any point of their use, during shooting, during the creation of on-site backups, when pulling them on their laptop, etc. pp. The extra risk of my workflow is so close to zero that I really don't care whether a card fails or not. I'd rather use many smaller cards than one big one so I don't lose all of my photos at once and I empty them as often as I can rather than having them sit around forever. Also if you ever hit the delete button on your camera that at least as unsafe as deleting them locally.
What I do care about is that "final destination" is safe and I mean that in every possible sense of the word.
I didn't see you mention the quantities of images or data you're coming home with, so I'll take what I think is a pretty safe over-the-top estimate of two full 64gb cards per shoot. You say it's a major concern for you, working on a laptop, that you don't have enough local storage to act as a buffer for the images before you delete unwanted images. I guess I'm confused as to how you wouldn't have 128gb of space to act as temporary storage, even on a laptop. I know you say explicitly in one post that you don't, I just don't see how. A $100 drive upgrade doesn't strike me as a major roadblock in a complex storage strategy for someone with networked RAIDs and offsite backup. I could understand if this were a backlog issue, and you weren't sorting through images right away and there wouldn't be enough room for multiple shoots to sit in temporary storage. But that's clearly not the case since your workflow currently deals with the images before they're even off the cards. Spending a bit of money to get a larger drive might not be ideal, and it would require a bit of a change to your workflow but it seems like an awfully easy solution to this problem.
Right now I have 340,7 MB space on my harddrive free. That'll be like 10 GB once I cleared all that garbage I had to create to deal with this very LR issue. Every changed the harddrive on MacBook Pro? I don't think so; it's a royal PITA and requires a lot more effort than just walking into a store and buying a new harddrive.
I'm using brand 8GB cards BTW, many of them. I don't trust bigger cards because if they break I'll lose many more pictures. I usually carry more than 1 camera with me and I normally don't fill up the cards completely because it still is a hobby not a profession and I don't intend to turn it into one either.
I also don't follow the use of the trash as a safety net. I know it's not part of your workflow, just something that saves your hide from time to time, but it is very much working against the current. Just like I said previously, if you leave your cards untouched during this whole injest/sort/archive process, no matter what you do or happens to your local copies you will have the original copies on the card until you stick it back in the camera and hit format. Deleting a file (moving it to the trash) during the review/import process is introducing needless complexity, whereas just leaving the card alone offers some innate data security.
Really what happens when moving a file to the trashcan is a rewrite of the FAT table to have the files point to the new position inside a special directory name .Trash or something. I agree each write is dangerous to the safety of the card but it's not like we're talking about intensive writes or non-atomic operations here; the data itself remains untouched but it's directory entry is moved out of the way. As far as I recall I never had to recover any images from the trash but it makes me feel a little safer should I ever select the wrong image before hitting "Delete Photos...". And no, it doesn't introduce any complexity at all. Extra complexity is when LR has to import and render full size previews of images that are known to be rubbish and expect extra slowdown when keeping LR open for a long amount of time and doing many operations; my approach starts always with a fresh catalog and I can easily process my images in small batches to keep memory requirements down.
Before using LR I had to use a different programm just to preview the JPEG images and delete the RAW+JPEG pairs manually which was more of a PITA so I was glad to figure out that LR 2 had the capability to actually deals with the photos on card.
I actually don't see a problem with how your managing your file structure. It's nearly identical to how I do mine, but unlike you I have never run into an issue where I need to split up an event/session into multiple folders. Even with multi-camera shoots, a single event directory should be able to (for a Nikon camera, at least) hold at least [N * 9999] photos, where N is the number of bodies. How many cards you use during an event shouldn't factor into folder structure at all, unless you do it on purpose. Making another assumption here, but 10,000 photos in a single even is pretty unusual. If I have my camera configured correctly, even if I used 100 512mb cards for an event, as long as I stay below 10,000 shots per camera body, they can all go into the same folder without any naming conflicts.
Great, I don't see any problem either. Also all my cameras have different naming schemes so the names don't clash.
I would think moving the files to the NAS is equally as free, with comparable speeds over gigE. The offsite backup is the only part of this equation that could really become more costly as data levels increase. But, even el cheapo cloud backup services and bottom tier home broadband plans offer unlimited data storage and bandwidth; there's no unit variable cost even if you were to backup an entire shoot and decide a week later to trash every single shot. I know there are situations where those kinds of variable costs do come into play, but even with relatively expensive Amazon S3, the cost of transferring and storing 25% bad shots from even a large shoot isn't what I would consider cost prohibitive for a photographer doing that much shooting with an already expensive storage solution.
Okay, let me explain. My "bad" shot ratio is more like 80% rather than 25% due to the (sometimes) excessive amount of bursts to catch certain happenings or expressions. "Bad" shots consists of duplicates, shaken shots, undesired motion blur, bad expression/closed eyes, bad framing, bad exposure other bad settings or just my own trigger slowness, etc. pp. . I have several levels of backup, ranging from online on-site unversioned to online on-site versioned to a second RAID over online off-site versioned to an encrypted hosted storage facility to off-line versioned and encrypted to external harddrives I keep at several locations. The versioned backups, especially of-site are a real problem here, the versioning is happening on a hourly basis so any change within on hour will be recorded and kept for at least half a year including long-deleted files. I do have limited upstream bandwitdh and I pay for both local and offsite storage capacity and for excess upstream traffic to my server.
Again. Photography is a hobby and I already invest quite a lot in it but there have to be boundaries.
For the import process it seems like you're using now, and looking to continue to use in the future, I'm wondering what you wouldn't be able to do just in the Finder. You've said the actual Lr database isn't of much value to you, so at the import stage why not just run through the images in Finder, delete whatever you want to right them, and then move on to any Lr specific or NAS activities from there. You'll still have the same use of the Trash, and it's easy enough to use quickview, large icon previews, and a shortcut key to assing a Finder label to bad images. Then just sort by labels and hit delete. I'm not honestly suggesting that as a good option, but it certainly is an option and seems to fill most of your requirements, especially since it doesn't care where the files are.
That's exactly what I've been doing all along. Two problems: Preview capabilities are really limited and I have to delete the RAW+JPEG pairs manually.
Then LR came along and now Adobe took the newly won comfort away.
I find it hard to believe that your simply not having a few extra gigs of HD space on your laptop or using a different backup service would create such a distinct workflow that the (fairly extensible) Lr import/management system becomes useless. But hey, maybe it does.
Indeed it does.

Gallery unable to access images in memory card

Hi! I am using E71 and recently I find that Gallery can't access the images and videos in the memory card. Images in Phone Memory is accesible. I can access those files from File Manager though. Does anybody know how to fix this? Would appreciate any help.

It's difficult because neither Nokia nor third-part app producers make these things obvious to the casual observer.
There is a way to get around this, but it's long-winded:
(1) Delete the first folder in Private
(2) Check if the gallery is OK.
(3) If not, restore 'user files' from your backup then delete the next folder and try again.
This will allow you to find the relevant file that is causing the issue but leave everything else intact.

Transferring images from memory card in printer to iMac.

My camera just broke, and I am unable to download the pictures from my camera's memory card onto my Mac (I am using version 10.6.8). I usually just plug my camera into my Mac via the USB port, but I am now unable to do that. My printer has a memory card slot to use to print from, but I'm not sure I can transfer pictures from my card to my computer. I have a Canon MP560 multi-function printer. I just came back from a 2 week vacation and would like to see my pictures! Please help!

Glad that worked for you!!!

Thanks, everybody! It's all good. I had my printer set up wirelessly and it didn't work, but as soon as I plugged the USB port into my Mac instead of the wireless router, iPhoto came right up. Whew! Now I can see and edit my pictures. Thanks again.

Import images from memory card?

My Canon digital camera uses a removable memory card which I then put into an Inca Card Reader. When using Photoshop Elements 11 and try to open the Card Reader to import images, the Card Reader isn't even listed among the various drives attached to, or within, my computer? How can I fix this? I want Photoshop Elements 11 to recognise the Card Reader so I can import the images. My email address is [email protected] With thanks, Mike Pratt (Australia)

Thanks Barbara,
It's Windows 7 Professional. I hope that helps.
Thanks,

How can I upload my photos from my iPad to a memory stick I have an adapter that takes memory cards to download to iPad that has a USB socket but can't find anywhere on iPad to instruct it to do this?

How can I upload my photos to a memory stick from my iPad

You can't do it directly from your iPad, the camera connection kit only copies photos/videos to the iPad's Photos app, it can't be used to copy them off.
You can copy photos to a computer and from there to the memory stick : Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC.

How does LR Import process sort images on memory card

It seems as if there is no rhyme of reason as to how the import process presents the previews to select for import. I did s shoot last night and the images are spread out over different areas between other photos that I took in the past. Shouldn't they just be sorted by image name so they are presented together?

Check which sort type you have at the bottom of the Import Window

Java.util.Calendar calculates wrong date when any duration is added

Hi friends,
I am trying to calculate the date through java.util.Calendar object and getting wrong value. Let me explain the scenario -
Scenario1:
I have taken start date and added some duration to that and expecting a new date which should be calculated as (start date+ duration). The value is as below -
start date = 2012-01-09 (9 January 2012 )
duration = 1year, 1month, 20 days
new date = 2013-02-28 ( 28 February 2013)
*Here new date I am expecting is 2013-03-01 (1 March 2013).
Scenario2:
I have taken another set of values as below -
start date = 2011-02-15 (15 February 2011)
duration = 1year, 1month, 15days
new date = 2012-03-30 (30 March 2012)
*Here new date is as expected.
Scenario1 data is giving me wrong result. Please let me know if any more information is required. Any help will be appriciated. Thanks in advance.

It all looks pretty straightforward to me. Try running the following code:
public class TestCalendar {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        java.util.Calendar myDate = java.util.Calendar.getInstance();
        java.text.DateFormat df = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd MMMM yyyy");
        myDate.set(2012, java.util.Calendar.JANUARY, 9);
        System.out.println("Start date = " + df.format(myDate.getTime()));
        myDate.add(java.util.Calendar.YEAR, 1);
        myDate.add(java.util.Calendar.MONTH, 1);
        myDate.add(java.util.Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 20);
        System.out.println("End date = " + df.format(myDate.getTime()));
}This gives the following result:
Start date = 09 January 2012
End date = 01 March 2013

Java.util.Calendar returning wrong Date object

Example: This was my scenario last night. A server in California has date/time of 'Mon Aug 18'. Current time in Indiana is 'Sun Aug 17'. I use Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/Indiana/Indianapolis")) to return a Calendar instance. I then call the getTime() method on that instance. It should return a Date object relating to that particular time zone. It will not. It defaults back to the server time. When I print out the Calendar instance everything is good, correct date, correct time,etc. WHY WON'T THE getTime() return the correct java.util.Date???
Following is the output was run today so the dates happened to be the same so focus on the Time. Output includes Server time, new Calendar values, and the Date returned by calendar instance getTime(). See that the Calendar is getting the correct Time.
SERVER DATE=Mon Aug 18 15:52:13 CEST 2003
CALENDAR INSTANCE=java.util.GregorianCalendar[time=1061214732975,areFieldsSet=true,areAllFieldsSet=true,lenient=true,zone=sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo[id="America/Indiana/Indianapolis",offset=-18000000,dstSavings=0,useDaylight=false,transitions=35,lastRule=null],firstDayOfWeek=2,minimalDaysInFirstWeek=1,ERA=1,YEAR=2003,MONTH=7,WEEK_OF_YEAR=34,WEEK_OF_MONTH=4,DAY_OF_MONTH=18,DAY_OF_YEAR=230,DAY_OF_WEEK=2,DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH=3,AM_PM=0,HOUR=8,HOUR_OF_DAY=8,MINUTE=52,SECOND=12,MILLISECOND=975,ZONE_OFFSET=-18000000,DST_OFFSET=0]
Date from getTime()=Mon Aug 18 15:52:12 CEST 2003

I got it worked with using DateFormat.parse !
The trick is to instantiate a new Date object as a result
of parsing out of 'localized' date string.
with below code :
Calendar localCal = new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles"));
localCal.set(Calendar.DATE, 25);
localCal.set(Calendar.MONTH, 7);
localCal.set(Calendar.YEAR, 2003);
localCal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY,6);
localCal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 38);
localCal.set(Calendar.SECOND, 11);
Calendar sinCal = new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Asia/Singapore"));
sinCal.setTimeInMillis(localCal.getTimeInMillis());
int date = sinCal.get(Calendar.DATE);
int month = sinCal.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int year = sinCal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int hour = sinCal.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
int min = sinCal.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
int sec = sinCal.get(Calendar.SECOND);
String sinTimeString = date + "/" + month + "/" + year + " " + hour + ":" + min + ":" + sec;
System.out.println("VIDSUtil.hostToLocalTime : time string now in SIN time : " + sinTimeString);
java.util.Date sinTime = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss").parse(sinTimeString);
System.out.println("time in SIN using Date.toString(): " + sinTime.toString());
It prints out :
VIDSUtil.hostToLocalTime : time string now in SIN time : 25/7/2003 21:38:11
time in SIN using Date.toString(): Fri Jul 25 21:38:11 PDT 2003
(Ignore the PDT, because Date.toString() defaults where the JVM is running)

Image Browser downloads to wrong folder

I couldn't find a better category for this question than iPhoto. Sorry if there is one.
I just got a Canon powershot A630 camera. it's great. I was using iPhoto to download images and that was fine. But I thought the Image Browser software that came with the camera would offer more functionality. And i guess it does but I'm having a lot of difficulties with it.
I called Canon and spoke with tech support but they just tell me it works for them so it must be my problem. They are using mac 10.4 and I have 10.3.9 so that might be part of it. The Image Browser version is 5.7.
Here's what happens:
I have specified under "Preferences" in the "Camera Window" (that comes up when I connect the camera to the computer) for the images to be downloaded to a folder I created called "Powershot A630" which resides in the Pictures folder. The default location for download is that same Pictures folder. And that's where the images go, NOT to the folder I specified.
I've tried also setting that in the EOS window (which can only be started when the camera is NOT connected to the computer). Still doesn't help.
The Canon guy ran me through a scenario where I "select" pictures for downloading. In this scenario I get a chance to specify the destination, and in fact, it shows the destination I chose in preferences. And it does download to the correct place. But then, where the Image Browser main window lists "favorite" folders, my destination folder is now listed twice. Not desireable I think.
At this point, I think I'll just go back to iPhoto, but if anyone has a solution, or other reasons why I should use Image Browser I'd love to hear.
One more thing. The second Canon guy I talked with took me into "Image capture" utility and had me set the destination folder there. Don't see where that has any bearing on the activity at hand, though.
Thanks a lot,
Bruce

Smtr,
See my responses (marked "B-") interleaved with your great note...
Bruce,
I love my Canon Powershot A620. The 630 looks
awesome. My Image Browser is version 5.5, and I don't
know what changed with the next versions.
B- Yeah, the a630 is really nice. I previously had an A40 and this is a major step up.
Anyway, the second Canon guy sounds a bit more
knowlegdeable about Macs. The preferences in Image
Capture are where you set which application (or none)
opens automatically when the Mac detects a camera or
card. So if setting it in Image Capture doesn't work,
then I'm not sure what will. I'm afraid I can't
answer your core question here about how to download
to your preferred folder.
B- Thanks for explaining that. It's very clear. I did not understand that from my conversation with the Canon rep.
As for your choice of which app to use, consider
this: Image Browser is just that - an application for
browsing your hard drive and displaying the image
files in various ways. iPhoto is NOT an image
browser. It is a photo organizer with lightweight
editing capabilities and limited version control.
B- That's good to know, too. I was assuming that Imagebrowser was a substitute for iPhoto and I was hoping for increased funcionality. And it does have lots of stuff in it, which was more confusing than anything else.
iPhoto is a database application, so when you use it
you should NOT manipulate items in its library folder
structure from within the Finder.
B- yeah, I had discovered that
With an image
browser you always manipulate the files yourself from
Finder. You alone are responsible for the
organization of your images. With a database you
manipulate your files from inside the application,
and let it take care of the file management
automatically. The two apps are incompatible. If you
import your photos to iPhoto you should not access
them using Image Browser, because you could damage
the library. I know you weren't suggesting combining
the two, I am just trying to highlight the
differences between them.
So ask yourself if you like iPhoto's capabilities. If
you were happy with it before, then there's really no
need to switch to Image Browser. It's like apples and
... cows (oranges are too similar) and the choice is
up to you.
B- the one thing I like so far about imagebrowser is the easy way to view the image full screen. Have not figured out how to do that in iPhoto.
BUT, there is a task inside my Image Browser that I
absolutely LOVE because it does something I can't do
with iMovie. Its called "MovieEdit Task" in
Applications>Image Browser>DVCUtility. It's a great
little thing that lets you take separate video clips
and combine them into one movie. It's much simpler
than iMovie, and optimized to work with your Canon's
video clips. (Whereas iMovie prefers miniDV tape.) It
will allow you to rotate a video clip 90 degrees, so
if you turned the camera on its side to record a
movie clip you can rotate it to portrait view. I have
done this and used the clip in iMovie, and it was
perfect. Without it I would have needed an iMovie
plug-in or had to buy QuickTime Pro.
B- I'll have to look into that. I also have a digital camcorder and have used iMovie. And I'll definitely look into the rotation. My novice friend used my camcorder and shot a bunch of shots of our band with the camcorder rotated 90 degrees.
So, I sometimes use Image Browser due to the way it
handles video clips. Here, it is superior to iPhoto.
But for every day use and for the storage,
organization, and manipulation of my photos, I use
iPhoto (in conjunction with PhotoShop Elements for
real editing).
Just my 4¢.
B- Thanks for the great letter!

Why does some images saved on memory card show up as a little icon with lightning bolt through it

I been saving images on memory card.. well as of lately some images have a icon with a lightening bolt on it..and images are lost

There is a problem with the SD card. Reboot your phone and see if the problem comes back. If the problem comes back un-mount and remove the card and see if a computer can read the card. If the computer can read it then move all the photos to the computer then reformat the card in the phone. Put the reformatted card back in the phone and take a picture. If the problem persists then the card is corrupted in some way. This is more common than you would think especially if you have a galaxy S3 and use SanDisk cards. I would try a new card from a different manufacturer.

Weird Memory Card Problem (E70)

i've just bought nokia E70 a week ago... along with 2 GB minisd card... but within "heavy" use of the phone (installing software/theme, video recording, using camera)... the memory card will get corrupted (lost of data, lost of directory structure)... e.g.: 1. Video folder when browse with file manager in nokia E70, got a question mark icon, and cannot be opened... 2. Files is lost in some directory 3. after error, can't copy file into the memory card i've tried formatting the card from the phone and computer using FAT/FAT32, both work well before "heavy" use... but after a while the problem keep occurring... i already check the memory card, copying almost 2GB of data, comparing, checking/scanning the card without problem (when checked with computer)... and always get problem when tried with the phone.... anyone got the same problem? or any suggestion on what should be done? the phone fw version is: 2.0618.07.10 (31-08-06, RM-10) thanks

Hi,
I have also problems with one of my MiniSD card, the bundled 64MB card works fine but my other Kingston 2GB card does get corrupted. I first thought it was a faulty card so I got another Kingston card as replacement but that works as bad as the first one. Problem is simply that the card gets corrupted. I have also verified this in my colleagues phone (we hoth have a E70 with 2.0618.07.10 firmware) and he has same problems as I do.

Memory Card Issue with my BlackBerry Curve 9300

Hello,
I have been using the memory card for more than a year. It's a SanDisk or a ScanDisk memory card. It's 8 GB. I didn't use the card that came with my BlackBerry Curve 9300 phone. I'm always trying to delete files or to copy files, most of them are music files from my laptop to the memory card via memory card reader.
Now I am encountering a message that I need to repair the memory card whenever I try to insert it to my phone again. And most of the time whenever the phone automatically repairs it, some files are corrupted or considered as a "lost chunk files".
How can I recover those files? And why did it happen or always happen in the first place?
According to this site, you need to reformat it: http://www.techtalkz.com/tips-n-tricks/1535-memory-card-corrupted-here-solution.html
So what I did is to copied everything to my laptop then reformatted it completely.
It kinda solved the issue but for how long will I won't be experiencing the "repair memory card" issue and the "lost chunk files" issue?
Do I need another program to reformat the memory card and not to use the one that comes with every windows computer?
Does using a memory card reader or using a memory card adapter (for the microSD card) corrupts the memory card?
I have been researching on how to completely recover the files but I'm a bit confused.
There are a lot of recovery programs out there.
Can you guys help me out here? Thanks.
Here are the researches that I made:

Tried a couple of things. Still my issue is not resolved
I think you should try each and everyone of the solutions suggested in the link I provided, given that it covered both harware and software suggestions. And always reset the device by removing the battery whilst the device is powered-on. Leave the battery out for a minute or 2 after each step.
See if that resolves the problem.
