My blackberry curve 8520 has lost all my pictures in the lost.dir folder how do I recover them

I have a blackberry curve 8520 and it has moved all of my pictures on my memory card into a folder called LOST.DIR (I`m not 100% sure they have moved there but  I found a lot of files in there that seem to be my pictures) I am not sure how I  can recover these files, please help! I`m not sure if it has something to do  with the fact that a few weeks ago I was taking a picture and a pop up came up  and said something along the line of there wasn`t enough memory on my SD card so  pictures will save on device memory and I clicked yes. I`ve taken out the SD  card and battery several times and that hasn`t worked. I took someone else`s  advice an moved the folder into the DCIM folder where I was able to rename one  file to . jpeg but I cannot open it. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Tosin29188,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Are you able to locate this folder when accessing the media card from a PC or Mac?  Also are the pictures files renamed to a different extension? (For example: Picture.rem)
Are you able to open the media files up on a computer?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

  • I just lost all my contacts on the ipod2 ...how do I get them back? They just disappeared while I was typing in a new contact.

    I just lost all my contacts on the ipod2 ...how do I get them back? They just disappeared while I was typing in a new contact.  Help!!

    joephilipose,
    If the contacts are still in Address Book on your computer, but just not on the phone, you can tell iTunes to force replace the contacts on your phone with those from your computer. You can do this by going into the Info tab when your iPhone is connected, and checking the Contacts box under the Advanced section at the bottom of the page.
    You may also want to backup your Address Book information as well. It's a good idea to make periodic backups of your contact and calendar information in case information accidentally gets deleted or changed. You can find out how to backup your Address Book data here:

    To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:

    Hope this helps,

  • My itunes library has duplicated "ALL" my files with thier individual iclouds. How do i delete them all sa one group than rather to delete each individual file?

    My itunes library has duplicated "ALL" my files with their individual iclouds. How do I delete them all in one single swipe rather than delete each one individually?

    Try Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases. With luck it should be OK if you turn it on again.

  • My iTunes Match automatically charged me for a second year when the first year finished.  In spite of that, I have lost all of my playlists on my iPhone.  How can I get them back?

    Hi,
    No need to post three times!
    Is iTunes Match still turned on on your iPhone? If not, you need to turn it back on.
    If it is still on, go to settings, music app and turn off match- sign out of iTunes Store. Reboot iPhone, sign back into iTunes and turn on match. Poem music app. Does this help?

    Hi

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your back up via iCloud is only for use for restoring your phone after wiping it. You can't inspect or utilise specific parts of the back up.

    I updated my iPhone 4s with the ios 7.0.6 software and lost all my ringtones I purchased through Itunes. How do I get them back?

    Did you fail to save them to your computer before updating?
    If so, then you can try contacting itunes support and asking them to allow a redownload.

    Your contacts should be available on your computer. Were the contacts lost in the address book on your computer that is supported for syncing contacts with your iPhone?

  • I updated my iPhone and lost all photos, videos and e-mail accounts. How do I get them back?

    I updated my iPhone yesterday (simply to get rid of the reminder that was bugging me).  The last time I updated the phone everything went fine, my settings, ringtones, messages photos etc all backed up perfectly.  This time around all my photos are gone, my videos have disappeared, ringtones are back at factory settings and my e-mail accounts are all gone.  I've also lost all my messages which is a real bummer because there were contact details in some of them.  I've tried restoring the phone from iTunes and going back to a previous backup but no joy.  Can anyone help?
    Failing that can anyone tell how best to complain to Apple??? (Would anyone give a "s h one t" anyway!)  Aaaaggghhhh!

    I have lost all my photos and videos in iTunes as well.  I don't understand how all my music transferred over but not those? 
    Pictures were never in iTunes.  iTunes is not a photo management program.  It is merely a tool that allows syncing of a specified folder to an iDevice.  Was the folder that was being synced copied from the old computer to the new computer?
    John Hanniffy wrote:
    Another weird thing is that some of my Apps 'changed' in the upgrade and now don't work (e.g. Group Text App reverted to the 'free' Ad bearing version whereas I previously had the 'paid' No-Ad version installed).
    That leads me to believe they were not in the Apps folder in iTunes... maybe they were never transfered to the computer.  These can be downloaded again via iTunes or directly on the device.

    As I said in my initial post the thing that really bugs me is the loss of my SMS texts.  I don't see any way of backing those up on iTunes and when I previously upgraded the iPhone software they, along with all my settings, transferred over seamlessly.
    SMS/MMS/iMessage is included in the backup of the device done via iTunes.  Restoring of that backup will put all the content back.  This should also restore the email account setup

  • I got an Icloud account and lost all my contacts from my Iphone 3s.  how do I get them back?

    I had to change my icloud account and all of my contacts disappeared from my phone contacts.
    How do I get them back????  I lost hundreds of important personal and business contacts.
    I tried to sync it when I got home with my Mac, but still all of my contacts are gone.
    Where the heck are they?  Why did they go?  How can I get them back?

    Do you have an iCloud back up as well? If so restoring from there may be an option

  • I turned off my iPhone 4 and it has deleted all my messages apart from my iMessages? How do I get them back?

    My iPhone 4 began to not tell me when I would receive text messages, therefore I restarted my phone and when it turned back on all my messages where gone other than my iMessages? Also, in my storage it still says I have the amount of data usage for my texts as I had before they were deleted. How do I get them back?

    It's a bit confusing for many people, but iTunes doesn't really store the contacts. It's just used as a conduit to third party contact programmes, such as Outlook on a PC. IF you were using Outlook (or a similar, supported programme) all is good.
    If you were't using something like it, the contacts are gone.

  • Lost all my photos, apps, contacts, etc.. How do I get them back?

    Two weeks ago, I backed up my iPod because I was going to send it back to Apple for them to fix it. I just received my iPod back today so I wanted to get all my stuff back. So I backed it up and the only thing I got back was my music. How do I get all my other stuff back? I don't really mindredownloading all my apps, but the other stuff I actually care about. I had about 200 photos of my friends and family but I can't seem to get it back. I had like 30 or so contacts but I don't know how to get them back without asking them in person. All my calendar events are gone, and I want to see what event I had in the past so I could look back.
    So anyways, the problem is when I restored it from the backup I did before I sent it back, I get nothing I needed and only received music. Does anyone know where all my stuff went?

    I just went thru this same problem--Apple Tech got me thru it.  He sent me this link:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Read it first; then plug in your Ipod to Itunes.  When it's it's visible on the left side, right click on the unit-you should see "Restore from back-up"; click it and then try to finda backup version just prior to when you sent it away.  Select it and restiore to it.  This fixed mine!!! 
    If all else fails, call Apple tech support.
    Good luck
