Lost all my images on the memory card

I just bought an A2300 and took it on a week-long backpacking trip in Colorado. At the end of the trip, I took the memory card out of the camera and gave it to one of the other backpackers to load my images on his Mac. He said he saw about a half dozen .jpg files on the card, but couldn't open them. When he gave the card back to me and I put it back in the camera, the card was blank! I had over 100 pictures on that card when I handed it to him. Now I have nothing. Any ideas on what happened to all the files and what I may be able to do to recover all the images?
Solved!

There are several threads on this topicalready & many list some free software links worth trying HOWEVER here's the link to a very good program that you can test drive to see if the images are there & recoverable before you pay for it. IF it finds them you at least know they exist & have the choice to either pay to license the software or try the free stuff & see if it works for you.

I cannot erase alias JPeg images on a memory card so that it will not accept any more which I try to load onto it, yet there are no actual images available if I click on any of them. The error message states that one or more cannot

Cannot delete aliases for JPeg images on a lumix camera memory card even selecting individual images anjd trying to move to trash -error35 one or more items cannot be found. No image available on clicking or if card put back into camera-"no images to disply" Yet if try to add more images, message that card is full! Any suggestions?

Deleting from iPhoto or image capture after import should be fine and shouldn't cause any issues. Deleting from the folder view of finder, can cause issues as the camera can the image is still there. You can try emptying the trash on your mac if you deleted them via the finder, as although you've deleted it, it's only marked as trashed and not actually deleted until you empty the trash - ie it won't relieve the space taken by the files.
If your still having issues after you try this, you may be best formating the memory card. This will wipe all data on it though, so make sure you do copy anything off that yo u want to keep! Format from the camera, so that choosing the format>erase all option from the menu of most cameras.

What version of iPhoto?
Can you access the images with Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) ?

How to keep a copy of the image file on memory card when using tethered shooting with a Nikon D800?

I love tethered Shooting but as default (at least for Nikon) Lightroom does only save the file on the computer, not on the memory card.
Now I want to have a backup of the image file on the memory card additionally to downloading it. The tethering software digiCamControl can do this with my camera, so it is technically possible.
So how can I achieve this using Lightroom tethering?

Thanks. FWIW I'm very keen on improving tethering and lobbied Adobe endlessly until they added the overlay for shooting into layouts because it was a major reason why some of my clients were unable to switch to Lightroom from PhaseOne. But we have to be realistic and remember that tethering just isn't a key market for Adobe as it is for PhaseOne, so progress is painfully slow. For example, where is live view or setting exposure which are in PhaseOne? I'd be amazed if we get those features for a few versions, and that's why I point serious tethered shooters to other solutions. And realistically, assuming your understanding of the SDK is correct you shouldn't expect a change until the next full version of Lightroom. Good if it happens, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Is there a chance that my mac air took a back up of these photos ? Please say yes and guide me through the steps to recover them. I need URGENT HELP please

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?

Evelyn question: I Photo, I lost all my images and am getting nothing up on preview or iphoto. I did drage the icons to the bottom of my monitor.

Evelyn - question: I Photo, I lost all my images and am getting nothing up on preview or iphoto. I did drag the icons to the bottom of my monitor from
applications and nothing happened.

Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

Lightroom only recognizing / importing ~10% of the images on my memory card, but not consistently?

Lightroom is only recognizing some images from my memory card when I import from the camera. The amount of images it recognizes on a given attempt varies (114 one time I plugged in and tried to import, 128 images another time...etc.). It's only seeing about 10% of total number of images on the card, AND the previews of the images it does see aren't working.
Any ideas? This started right after I downloaded the recent updates.
Previously I've had problems with it being slow to recognize the camera when plugged in, but this is a new one. I know the photos are still there (thank goodness) because I can flip through them on my camera.
Thanks!
Katie
Stats:
I'm on a MacBook Pro, OS X 10.9.4.
Lightroom 5, Version 5.6 (Build 974614)
Just downloaded the updates today.
Camera is a Nikon D90, a few years old.
Memory card is a SanDisk 16GB SDHC.
Things I've already tried (that haven't worked):
Restarting Lightroom
Creating a new catalogue, and importing to that
Optimizing the existing catalogue
Turning the camera on and off
Trying a new connector cables (USB to mini USB)

Hi Katie,
When you put the SDCard directly into the MacBook's memory card reader and import from there, do the pictures you expect show up in the previews?
Maybe it's the camera's USB port that is slowly giving up..
Greetings,
Simon

Problem exporting images to a memory card

Greetings,
I am attempting to export approximately 1500 photos from an album in IPhoto 08 and put them onto a SD memory card to be used in a digital frame. I have exported the photos from IPhoto and placed them into a folder on my desktop. The folder size is 966 MB according to the “Get Info” command. When I attempt to copy the images from the folder on the desktop to the memory card, a few of the images will transfer over, then I get the following command: “The item _____ cannot be copied because there is not enough free space.” I tried to copy all of the images at once, and when that didn’t work, I tried to copy in smaller batches. I have tried this numerous times and the following (using a 2GB card) is my most recent result: by copying 10-20 images at a time, I was able to copy a total of 162 pictures before I could no longer transfer any images. I have tried and I cannot add another single image to the card, yet when I use the “Get Info” command it tells me that 146.3 MB have been used on the card and 1.73 GB (of a total of 1.87 GB) are available. I have tried this with 1 GB, 2GB as well as 4GB cards.
Has anyone experienced this before? Could it possibly have anything to do with the format of the card? Is it an issue of using a SDHC card? If so, which card should I use? Please help. I’m hoping to give the digital frames (with images) to family for Xmas.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Andy

Andy
It has everything to do with the Format of the card.
These cards are formatted FAT16 or FAT 32, and these older Windows formats have a limit to the number of objects they can have on the root directory of the volume. So, don’t copy the images from the folder on your desktop, just drag the folder to the card...

Accessing the memory card

I used to have a 5130, with it I was able to access my memory card in an area called gallery. From there i would have the option to access the photos and music from the phone and the option to access the memory card was there as well. I now have a 5230 but i realise that this option is not available. Is there anyway to get this option for the 5230 by changing the settings or updating the phone softwarse.

You've moved from a basic phone with a Java-based OS to a Symbian smartphone, access to your files from Gallery and Music Player are database-driven which find compatible file types wherever they are stored in the phone.
For your music, inserting a card from another phone won't automatically add music tracks to the music database. To do this, open the Music Player then select Options>Refresh Library. The phone will perform a scan of all available memories looking for music files and will add the content of your memory card.
The Gallery database for images and videos should be updated as soon as you open the gallery, and so if you then select Images and Videos you should see all photos and videos on both phone memory and memory card, sorted by default in descending date order.

I cannot get my 50D to detect the memory card

My 50D all of a sudden stopped detecting a memory card

If the card currently has any stored images I would attempt to get them off and then do an in camera low level format and retest.
Also, it is rare but sometimes the pins in the CF memory card socket can be damaged (bent usually). Get a very bright flashlight, remove the memory card and look carefully at the bottom of the socket and examine the pins.

After I import a movie file from the camera memory card, Imovie 10.0.1 acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it worksnow? Thank you, Filippo

On IMac 10.9 After I import a movie file from the camera memory card to Imovie 10.0.1 it acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it works now? Anyone know? Thanks, Filippo

I would like to know this too. I imported a lot of files, then Imovie crashed. I went back in and they are not in imovie at all.
I reconnected the camcorder to import again and though they are still on the camcorder, I no longer see them in the available list of files to import. I'm sure there is some sort of simple setting somewhere that reveals all files even if it thinks they are imported.
Thanks

C5-03; how to view music files in the memory card ...

Is it possible to view the files in the memory card (using the File Manager) folder-wise? I have some music files in the memory card; in a folder named 'Music'. When I go to Menu - Applications- Office- File mgr - E:Memory car-Music , I see the files in different collections corresponding to the artist/ genre names. I don't see the folders I had created. The artist/ genre (meta) data is not accurate and so the listing based on that is not useful.
This is related to the problem with Palylists I had posted earlier.

go to music player select options and refresh player this will pick up all the music
you will get a message on screen for example 40 songs added the go to music player select all songs
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Ram Upgrade Does it mater who makes the memory card?

I have a 2007 20" iMac wtih at 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
I am going to upgrade from 1 GB Ram to at least 4 GB and maybe as much as 6 or 8 depending on pricing?
Does it matter who manufactures the memory card?
Thanks

The mid-2007 and Early 2008 iMacs officially can accept 4G of RAM (two 2GB modules); with newer modules made since Apple engraved the specs in stone, you can go to 6GB RAM (one 2GB +2 4GB) but no more.
The only brand issue I've encountered is that some Intel Macs using PC2-5300 RAM were rather unhappy with Kingston "Value RAM." The regular line fo Kingston was fine.
For the past decade, I've web-ordered all my Mac RAM (and we have 16 Macs in the family) from only two vendors. I have never had RAM go bad or received the wrong RAM from these firms. Then there is the added pleasure of their being among the lowest priced. Here are their listings for PC2-5300 for your iMac:

Data Memory Systems:
http://www.datamemorysystems.com/_apple_info/Apple_Aluminum_Intel_Core_2_Duo_iMa c_20_2.4GHz_Memory_1467.asp
You don't show a geographic location in your profile (a very useful thing to include around here ) so I've listed US firms because that's who I use. If you are somewhere other than North America, let us know and someone may be able to provide resources local to you. The first firm I linked ships internationally with only a very "can't do" countries, but shipping and VAT may make it less attractive than a local source.

Aperture does not recognize that there are images to be imported on an SD card. My workaround is to copy the images from the ST card to a folder and then import the images from the folder. Aperture also imports incredibly slowly after the update to 3.4

Aperture does not recognize that there are images to be imported on an SD card. My workaround is to copy the images from the SD card to a folder and then import the images from the folder. Aperture also imports incredibly slowly after the update to 3.4

Check your Import settings in the Import Panel, i.e. all that might exclude the image type you want to import:
If you did not exclude any file types, and still Aperture will not import, remove your ImageCapture preferences fro your user library:
To remove the image capture preferences:
If Aperture is running, quit Aperture, and log off and on again.
Open your user library from the Finder's Go menu: Hit Command Shift G (⌘⇧G) and then type in: ~/Library/Preferences/ then hit return.
In the window that opens remove "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist"
and look into the subfolder "ByHost": if there are files named com.apple.ImageCapture something .plist remove them too.
then try again.
And if that still does not help, remove the Aperture preferences as well:
~/Library/Preferences/aperture.plist
Regards
Léonie
P.S. in MacOS Lion and later the user library ~/Library is hidden by default.
You can reveal it also from the Finder's "Go" menu:
Finder > Go, then hold down the options ⌥ key, until the Library appears in the drop-down menu, select it and open the Library folder. Then go to the "Preferences".

Nokia 6120 how to move messages to the memory card

hi,
I have to take my Nokia 6120 in to be fixed because it just stopped making any sounds, tones, alarms, and i couldn't hear anyone and they couldn't hear me.
anyway
now i want to save some of my text messages to my memory card before I give the guys my phone as they said they'd have to wipe it, but I can't work out how to do it
When I select the message and then say 'move to' i only get the option of 'my folder' which, as far as i can work out, isn't on the external memory card.
How can I move messages to the memory card??
Please help, I've spent an hour looking around the thing and cant find a way...it's driving me mad!
thanks

I moved 2000 messages from mobile to memory card in N95. In messaging options I have just set "save messages on memory card" , after that mobile asked me if I want to copy all messages saved in mobile to memory card"
