I have a 16gig card that is not showing any of the photos I took. I know the card was not fomratted becasue it reads as having 13gigs being used. So I know the information is on the card but no computer or camera I try to use shows them.
Memory cards usually throws up such errors. However, this does not mean that all your photos have been deleted permanently and you cannot get them back. it is just that you need to download a photo recovery software immediately to retrieve deleted photos, as delaying the recovery process might lead to permanent loss of your photo.
If your card is not showing the pictures then it means that it has been deleted or lost from the memory card. But you do not bother, as you can easily retrieve lost and deleted pictures with the help of genuine Stellar phoenixpicture recovery software. It is a strong algorithm based software which can performs picture recovery within few easy steps only. So just try it.
The symptom as you mentioned implies that of card corruption and you are right that inaccessible photos are able to get retrieved but it need efficient photo recovery software so as to get back entire lost photos.
Your inaccessible photos can be recovered using photo recovery software. If you are using Mac Operating System then you must use Mac photo recovery software. Mac digital photo recovery can be done very easily using Remo Recover (Mac) - Basic Edition software. In order to try out this software download and install demo version of this software in your system. In demo version itself you can view recovered photos using preview option.
If your photos are missing from your card, then do not panic. Now professional picure recovery sofware is available which can easily retrives lost and deleted pictures. The software can also perform photo recovery for Mac.
2). Scan your card with antivirus tool
Sometimes, the virus also would hide the photos and make them invisible. So, just try to scan this card with your installed antivirus tool on your c. (You should take care not to delete some needed photos or files in the process.)
This problem also could be caused by the card problems. So, in order to save your card photos back, you can apply a this party data recovery program to take chances, especially some efficient data recovery freeware like 4Card Recovery, iCare Data Recovery Free, Recuva and TestDisk, etc.
I get home to put the pictures on my mac to edit, theres no loaded preview of the picture. Then it wont open any of the files because it "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file." They're raw files and they ALWAYS open. So I try and open it with previewing it and its saying the file is empty. My clients paid me alot of money for this session and i cannot get these pictures to open or view. So I put my sd card back into my camera and now i cant view them there either! It says "Cannot playback image" PLEASE SOS SOMEONE HELP. I have more sessions and now i'm worried none of them are going to show up!
I would recommend trying to open those files in Digital Photo Professional, this should open any Canon RAW file which is not corrupted. If the files still do not open then I recommend running data recovery software on your SD card to try and repair any corrupted data on the card. You can download Digital Photo Professional in this link, under drivers and downloads:
I agree with the opinion that a T5 is not a suitable camera for professional work. This experience illustrates why. Most professionals prefer cameras with dual card slots, and frequently save both JPG and RAW file formats.
However, I think the fact that the message is saying that the file type is not recognized could be a good sign. I say this because the message is not saying that the file is unreadable or corrupt. Have the file extensions been changed, somehow?
Check the actual file names. Trying to open the files with DPP is a good idea, too. Do not put the card back into the camera. Only use copies of the files. Do not try to open them directly on the memory card. You do not want to "write" anything onto the cards.
And, they always opened with PS? Yes? If that is true DPP4 won't open them either but it is free to try. First do not do anything to that SD card. Get a recovery program, some are free but the best cost money. Also depending on what brand SD card the manufacturer might be able to recover the files. That requires you to send the SD card to them and pay a fee. Contact them directly for info.
Take this advice from a guy that has seen it all. If you have a camera with one SD slot use small SD cards and switch them out often. Never, never rely on one SD card for an important shoot. On some shoots I do I take my laptop and d/l the files immediately between down times which they all seem to have. Sometimes I tether to the laptop where the files get saved to both the laptop and the camera.
I'm in a bit of a bind and really hoping someone here can help. I recently realized that I've permanently deleted some photos on my Mac that are very important to me. These aren't just in the Trash; they've been emptied from it, making them seemingly irrecoverable through the usual means.
I've heard that there might be ways to recover those deleted photos, perhaps through specific software or methods I'm not yet aware of. I'm reaching out to this community in hopes of finding some guidance on how to proceed with recovering these permanently deleted photos. If anyone has experience with this or can recommend reliable software (preferably free or low-cost) that specializes in this kind of data recovery for Macs, I would greatly appreciate it.
If you have a Time Machine or iCloud backup, then restore from the deleted photos from backup. Otherwise, go and try a dedicated data recovery software instead. Those are professional programs for recovering deleted files from your Mac. Here is a detailed review you can check out:
1. Stop using the affected drive: If you've permanently deleted photos on a Mac, stop using the affected drive immediately to prevent further data loss. Avoid writing any new data to the drive, including downloading or installing any software.
When a file is deleted, it is still there in the disk; it's just that the pointer to it in a directory is erased. Over time, though, that area of the disk, being marked as available, may be overwritten with something else.
In the absence of a Time Machine, or other backup: STOP using this mac, and take it to an expert in recovering contents from disk. The more this mac is used, the more likely it is that space where deleted files were stored gets overriden with new content.
Unfortunately the OP mentions using an Apple Silicon Mac meaning the files were deleted and emptied from the Trash. With an SSD, those items are permanently gone due to the use of TRIM on the SSD which clears the SSD blocks. On an older model utilizing a hard drive, those deleted files would still reside on the hard drive until overwritten by the system at some point.
You mention that the photos were on your Mac: how did they get there? From a phone camera, the phone likely still has a least some of them. From a camera with a digital card -- do you still have the camera card(s). Even if "erased" by the camera, most camera card manufacturers have "recovery" software that runs to cover such images from formatted or erased cards. Did someone send them to, maybe in text messages or emails? They should still be there. Others have already mentioned iCloud, but some people use other cloud tools, Dropbox, Google, Microsoft, could any of your photos be there? Often family members, relatives, friends have copies (or the originals) of people's photos, check with them, people who sent them to you or to whom you sent them (or some of them).
Recovering permanently deleted photos on a Mac, especially after they've been removed from the Trash or after the Trash has been emptied, can be challenging and might require professional assistance. If you've reached this point, a professional data recovery service or workshop could be your best bet. These services specialize in retrieving lost data from various storage media, including hard drives, SSDs, and memory cards, even in situations where all seems lost.
To increase the chances of recovery, it's crucial to stop using your Mac as soon as you realize your photos are missing. Continuing to use the Mac can result in new data being written to the disk, potentially overwriting the space where your deleted photos are, making recovery more difficult or impossible.
Now, look for reputable data recovery services with experience in Mac data recovery. Focus on companies with positive reviews and testimonials. Ensure they have a clean room for hardware recoveries, as opening a hard drive outside such an environment can cause further damage. Check their policy on data privacy and security to ensure your data is handled confidentially.
Once you've identified a potential service, contact them to discuss your situation. Be ready to describe the problem in detail, including how the photos were deleted, the type of storage device your Mac uses (HDD or SSD), and any steps you've already taken to recover the photos. They may offer initial advice or a preliminary assessment over the phone or via email.
Fortunately, several methods exist to recover permanently deleted photos on Mac. Various built-in functionalities and external applications offer support in this endeavor, though none can promise complete recovery success.
Upon noticing the deletion of photos, the immediate action should be to cease all activities on your Mac. This is advised because erased files aren't immediately removed from the storage device. The possibility of successful photo recovery diminishes with each subsequent operation performed after the deletion. Therefore, it's crucial to learn the most efficient way to restore lost photos.
