What company can retrieve photos from a micro sd card? Another casualty of SD Card blank or has unsupported file system

     I have a Droid X with a sandisk 16gb micro sdhc class 4 installed.  This card has been in use for about a year and wasnt even half full.  I was playing music on thanksgiving and all of a sudden the music stopped.  I thought hmm, It must be doing one of its many reboots.  It wasnt shut off but was on my home screen and the music player had closed.  I went to my music and the songs were still listed.  I tried to play one and got the error message that i  cannot play this file.  I tried again and the songs disappeared and up came "SD Card blank or has unsupported file system" on the top bar.  I tried to view files on the card on my phone and on my computer by using an sd adapter with no luck.  I popped another card into my phone and it worked with no error message and i could mount and unmount the card and view the picture I took when viewing the new card on my computer.  I have a 9 year old daughter who suffers from multiple chronic illnesses and have probably 200 photos on my card of her including an extensive surgery and recovery earlier this year.  If a professional can retrieve my photos, I would like to know more.  Im coming up on my contracts end and this has me ready to zip up a life vest and get on another boat altogether. I have seen hundreds post about this on boards but I hope this can be resolved.  Thanks in advance.

    Hi Matt73,
I use my phone to store all my precious moments too and I can just imagine how frustrating it must be to have memory card issues like the ones outlined in your post. I see that you have tried different things to retrieve your files from your memory card to no available. It appears that your SD memory card somehow became corrupted and most likely the data in it is now lost (sorry). While not a common issue, there is always a possibility for memory cards and any other memory device to fail. SanDisk Memory cards carry 5 year warranty, to get a replacement please contact SanDisk at 866-726-3475. Their hours of operation are 8:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. PT Monday to Friday or by email at [email protected] at your convenience.
I recommend backing up your media (specially pictures) on a regular basis to your computer or to an online service to protect those special memories, I personally have my phone setup to automatically save the pictures I take to my Google  account and even if lost my phone I have a copy of all my pictures online. There are several website that allow you to sync your phone to upload pictures automatically. Please consider a similar option going forward.
On a personal note, I hope that your little girl's health improves that all those chronic illnesses are kept under control by your physician; I have 2 kids and I Know what is like when they don't feel well. Have a great day!

  • Is there any way I can retrieve photos from my iPhone after restoring the phone?

    Hi,
    Hoping someone can help!! Not a very technical person so would appreciate any advice.
    I plugged my phone (iPhone 4) in to my laptop and it must have started to update to new software, anyway now iTunes doesn't recognise my phone and is telling me it is in recovery mode and needs to be restored but doing this I would lose my photos I think.
    The photos I need to retrieve are only a few days old but I didn't put them on my laptop. Not sure about a backup I haven't done one but does this happen automatically when syncing and how do I find out what which photos are there?
    Thanks

    The update can not start by itself. It requires manual intervention.
    If the phone is in recovery mode, there is nothing left on it. If you didn't have your photos backed up or synced to PhotoStream, they are gone.

  • Is there any way I can retrieve photos from my iphone 4 using a new computer (dont have access to the one its synced to) and the screen on the iphone is broken but the phone works? Help!

    I've broken the screen on my iphone 4 but it lights up so i know its still working, I synced it to a laptop I dont own anymore
    and my new laptop wont allow me access to the iphone even though it knows its an iphone and its plugged into the usb.
    I've some irreplacable pictures on the phone which i'm desperate not to lose so please help! or is my best bet
    sending the phone off to have the screen replaced?

    If these are photos that were synced to your phone, the only way to extract them from your phone is third-party software, like this:

  • If my iphone is stolen how can i retrieve photos from stolen device via photostream or icloud

    My iphone was stolen 1 month ago.  I have set up an ´erase content´ and icloud block via the find my iphone app.  Will I be able to retrieve photos from taken on my stolen iphone via photostream or an icloud restore/back up some how?
    Someone has contacted saying they bought my stolen iphone (in peru) and are asking that I unblock my phone.  I have since recieved a new iphone via insurance but would like to now if there is a way to access my photos taken on the stolen device.  Because I have a macbook that is also logged into my icloud account, will i somehow be able to access my old photos from my macbook?

    The erase should take place the next time the phone is on and connected to a data network (via wi-fi or cellular). There is no need for them to enter your password. More details: iCloud: Erase your device
    They don't have to enter your Apple ID password for that to happen. Do NOT give them your password, now or ever. They do not need to enter anything for the erase to take place. It just needs to connect to a data network (and that may not be possible if the phone is outside of your cellular carrier's area and if it cannot connect to wi-fi).
    Do NOT remove the device from your account. The quote below is from If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen
    What if your iOS device is off or offline?
    If your missing device is off or offline, you can still put it in Lost Mode, lock it, or remotely erase it. The next time your device is online, these actions will take effect. If you remove the device from your account while it's offline, any pending actions for the device will be cancelled.
    There isn't anything else you can do at this point to make the phone erase -- you have done what you can do. If the phone did not have a passcode, they have likely already had access to your data if the phone is in a foreign country since it wouldn't be online (connected to wi-fi or cellular) unless they intentionally did that.

  • HT1752 Hello, I updated my MacBook with OS X and lost all my photos (about 7 years of photos) on iphoto (now empty). Are they completely lost or is there a way I can retrieve them from my computer?

    Hello, I updated my MacBook with OS X and lost all my photos (about 7 years of photos) on iphoto (now empty). Are they completely lost or is there a way I can retrieve them from my computer?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • HT201317 Can anyone tell me if it's possible to retrieve photos from my iphone4 that has been taken more than 30 days ago on to my pc?

    Can anyone tell me if it's possible to retrieve photos from my iPhone 4 that I took more than 30 days ago on to my pc?

    I had issues in 10.4.7 as well as 10.4.8.
    My problems occurred at the beginning of 10.4.8, then many users brought light to me using WEP, which was not working that great. I changed my connections to WPA2 and my problem has disappeared. If my problem didn't resolve the way it did, I would have mentioned it the next time I visited an apple store.
    The bottom line is that assumptions, complaining, and self diagnostics don't get many people very far and bringing the problem to apple helps them know the incidence of this problem, and helps them develop a reliable solution.
    Though some users have reported the "cold shoulder" when reporting Airport problems to apple... I hope you weren't one of them.

  • Cannot retrieve photos from external hard drive

    I had to upgrade my OS so that i could download the newest version of adobe photoshop.  this upgrade also upgraded my iPhoto and erasing all photos.  I do have photos backed up on external hard drive but cannot retrieve photos from the external hard drive.

    this upgrade also upgraded my iPhoto and erasing all photos.
    No update to the OS upgrade iPhoto too. So something else is going on there.

  • How to retrieve photos from the iCloud

    How to retrieve photos from the iCloud

    icloud only stores photos in backups (or in a special case, when using photo stream).  If you have turned on backup and made sure the camera roll is turned on (only photos from camera roll are backed up), then you can get photos back by performing a restore.  But note that users should always sync photos to a computer to archive them, relying on icloud is not foolproof.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_UShttp://www.ipadconverter-mac.com/restore-iphone-from-icloud/
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

  • What does "Easily import photos from other applications" really mean?

    What does "Easily import photos from other applications" really mean in the Lightroom 4 features list? I also see it stated as "...from other software" as well. Yes, I understand the LR can import from Elements libraries but can't find any reference to other applications anywhere, not in the online help, not in the user guide, not in any videos on Adobe TV. It would be nice if LR could see into iPhoto or Aperture libraries but that doesn't appear to be the case. Is that assumption correct? What other applications can LR import from?

    Hello bbb34vball,
    Since that article didn't help, I would suggest trying the steps in this article next:
    iOS: Unable to import photos to computer - Apple Support
    If that doesn't resolve your issue, you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action.

  • How do i retrieve photos from iphoto on a time machine backup?

    how do i retrieve photos from iphoto on a time machine backup?

    To restore the entire library do the following:
    For a single photo you need to  know the file name?  If so you can extract photos one at a time out of the TM backups for import into iPhoto.  You would do it as follows:
    1 - download and launch  Find Any File.
    2 - select the Time Machine external hard drive.
    3 - enter the file name and search. It will take longer than a normal search due to the nature of the Time Machine structure, maybe up to 1 miinute.
    4 - select the file that is in the Masters or Originals folder in the search results window and drag to the Desktop where it can be imported into iPhoto:

  • All of a sudden my photostream on my iPad is down to 102 photos from 900, and it won't retrieve photos from my phone anymore

    All of a sudden my photostream on my iPad is down to 102 photos from 900, and it won't retrieve photos from my phone anymore.
    Does anyone know what's going on? TIA

    PhotoStream is a convenient way to have photos available on multiple devices but it is not a long term storage or backup site for photos. There is a limit to the number of photos that will be kept on your photostresm and a 30 limit for photos. If you haven't already done so back up your photos to your computer.

  • Is there any way to retrieve photos from a 5c that has gone into recovery mode?

    is there any way to retrieve photos from a 5c that has gone into recovery mode?

    No, by the time its in recovery mode it's too late. The contents of the phone are gone. Did enable any of the ways that Apple provides to back up photos?
    Backup the phone to your computer
    Automatic daily iPhone backup to iCloud
    enable Photo Stream
    Copy photos to your computer using a USB cable and a compatible photo management utility on your computer
    Enable Photo Sharing
    Enable Photo Library backup
    OR any of the 3rd party photo management solutions, such as Google Picasa, Google+, Facebook, Shutterfly?
    OR any of the cloud sharing services such as box.com or dropbox?
    If you have set up any one of these your photos can be retrieved from it.
