Card Recovery Download

[Heather Mitchell]

Iam a photographer and videographer. I was shooting a small gig at a local bar on my Canon EOS 60D. I needed another SD card that could handle RAW video; one of my good friends said he uses microSD cards a good bit for his video work. I went and bought an Extreme Plus 32GB Red/Gold U3 microSDHC with an SD adapter. I formatted the card, took some photos and video. Everything was fine. I shot the gig.

When I went to export the RAW files to my MacBook Pro, most of my video files and almost 60 of the still shots reported an error message as being corrupt/damaged/unreadable. All files are PERFECT when viewed from the DSLR. When viewed on the computer, damaged still-images show horizontal banding and video files freeze-frame (the audio continues to play fine). I have never dealt with this type of issue, so I have no clue where to start. Is this possibly an issue with the card or my card reader? Could this be resolved with a simple free file recovery program? Any advice is welcome.

since the files show up and work fine on the camera i would suggest connecting the camera with the cable to the computer with the card and see if you can transfer and see the files on the computer. So in that case you can use the camera as a card reader to check if the files are still corrupted or not

There is possibility an issue with the card or card reader, so you should exclude the problem first. Connect SD card with another well card reader to check whether the file is ok to open. If the problem still exits, then a recovery software is needed. In fact, most of free file recovery program is bundled with spam and useless advertisements.

RePicvid free photo recovery could restore corrupted photos, but it pays to retrieve videos and audio files. You may try the free version to scan and preview corrupted/damaged/unreadable videos. Here is the tutorial about how to recover deleted photos/videos from SD card. Hope it can help you.

1. Try Another Adapter/Card Reader or USB Port

The card reader is also a delicate device. It can get damaged, so it is essential to check if the SD card is working in another card reader; also, try another USB port if the port is not working correctly.

Hi, I am helping a friend out with recovering data from an SD Card. They were moving things off their phone and they canceled the transfer just as it started and now nothing is reading the contents of the card. I have tried using linux to read the card and have also tried running chkdsk to no avail. What else can i do to attempt to repair this card? when you plug it in the card takes a good few minuets to appear in Windows but does not show any partitions. Disk Management also does not seem to load either when the card i in the computer. The card seems to read as RAW in CHKDSK.

But remember: that will remove all your files, so save them first. You can use their software - Uneraser or any other that you like, but restore files first - there will be a small chance to restore them after diskpart.

The last option would be to format the card. You see, chkdsk can fix the filesystem errors and repair the card, but if you are unable to do so, then format it from the cmd only. Use this resource to format SD card and recover lost data from it.

OFC, when a data transfer is abruptly stopped, it can lead to corruption in the file system. This is just logical damage; you only need to format the problematic SD card. However, the downside of this method is the data on the card will be erased completely. Wanna repair a RAW SD card? Well, I recommend hiring a professional to handle the job. Without specialized tools and techniques, it is almost impossible to fix a severely damaged SD card at home.

Pricing of Recovery Pro is only $49.99 for a one year license. The memory card recovery software will be updated for free during the license period when new codes are released for video cameras. Recovery Pro can be used on a single computer to Recover an unlimited number of images.

I've got several compact flash cards and microSD cards that I'm trying to recover photos from. I've got a card reader but I don't know what software to use. I found something called Wondershare but it got horrible reviews. I've found another called CF Card Recovery but can't find any reviews. I don't want to download something that I can't verify through other means and so I don't get a virus.

There is no need for any third party software to transfer images from a card to your Mac. If you have a USB card reader, why not try to simply plug that in? You then have several choices: if you have Finder Preferences set to show external disks on your desktop, it should show up. You can simply doubleclick/open the icon and look through your photos that way (automatically open in Preview) and simply drag them onto your desktop. You also have Image Capture in the Applications folder you can use to import them. And then there is Photos for editing/organizing them.

Re-reading your post: you ask about "recovery" - that means usually that you've deleted them? If you haven't deleted them, simply follow above options; if you have, you cannot "recover" things you've deleted easily.

I have a 64GB SanDisk Ultra Plus MicroSD card that I haven't used in a while. I recently came across it and put in my laptop to see what was on there. It's telling me there are 49.77gb used, however when I click into the card no photos appear.

I tried putting the card in my camera and I got an error message ("Card cannot be accessed. Reinsert/change the card or format the card with the camera"). I tried different adapters and with and without an adapter in the computer and nothing seems to be working. Other cards work just fine with the camera & computer.

Thanks all!! I downloaded Recuva on my mom's PC and was able to view some of the recovered photos (all of which are really old photos that I don't care to save). I went ahead and formatted the card on the PC and it STILL gives me the error message in the camera! Does this mean the card is toast?

Oh **bleep**, that sucks. But don't freak out just yet, there's still a chance you can recover your photos. When you format an SD card, it doesn't immediately wipe out all your data, it just makes it tougher to find.

Just keep in mind that whether you can recover your data or not depends on a few things, like how long ago you deleted your stuff, how much new data you've added to the card since then, and the condition of the card itself. So, try to recover your data as soon as possible and don't add any new data to the card.

I have a 128 GB Micro SD Card that I formatted as ext4 and used in a Chromebook for an Ubuntu Chroot Environment. I used it for quite some time that way. At some point, I either deleted everything off of it or formatted it using the Chromebook's simple formatting system.

I went on a trip, took lots of photos and video, and then suddenly the GoPro was having trouble reading the disk. It was still able to record video and pictures (I assume) as I could turn on the recording mode and it didn't report any problems. From what I could tell, 128 GB is too much for this GoPro Session.

When I plug this into a computer (Chromebook, Mac OSX, Ubuntu) I either get an error (Chromebook & OSX) or I have the disk mount, but no viewable file structure when I open it with a file explorer. Totally empty.

At this point, it doesn't actually seem to me that there has been either data loss or corruption. I'm not sure what actually is going on, but suspect that something has gone awry with the file system- being ext3/ext4 in a GoPro rather than FAT32 or exFAT.

EDIT: I just used Disk Usage Analyzer and found all of the largest files that photorec recovered. Among them are many large .bz2 files, with files in them with no extension that are timestamped for the time I would have recorded the footage. I can open them and view this information with an archive manager, but am unable to extract them.

The first exFAT was unlabeled, and I was able to browse through it using terminal commands provided by testdisk. Contained in this partition table, which other programs such as gparted were unable to see, were all of the GoPro folders and files, in pristine order. Within the DCIM folder, I found all of my photos and videos with correct file names and time stamps- so recovery was not a matter of restoring corrupted files at all.

In the U.S., card issuers, merchants, and merchants' banks bear most of the cost of fraudulent credit card transactions. Under federal law, individual cardholders' liability is limited to $50 and in many situations to $0. Many credit card issuers also have voluntary zero-liability policies, eliminating even that $50 liability.

Check your credit card statement online or as soon as it arrives in the mail for any charges you don't recognize. Even small amounts can be an indication of fraud; criminals sometimes test a card before racking up big charges on it. And, of course, guard your number carefully, not giving it out unless you know who you're dealing with. If you detect any problems, call your issuer right away. Even though your liability is limited, getting fraudulent charges removed can be a hassle. If need be, your card issuer can cancel your current card and give you a new number.

I routinely went to format one of my 32Gb Transcend compact flash cards using OSX 10.6.6 disk utility - selecting MS DOS FAT (which means FAT32) and it wrecked it. I was formatting it for use in my 744T which is happy with OSX FAT32 formatted cards. I know the Fusion has it's own version of FAT32 and is not happy with other versions. There seems to be several flavors of FAT32 which I've never seen an explanation for?

Some photographer friends of mine swear by 'Rescue Pro' for file recovery from corrupt discs -tech.com/software/rprodetail.html It's normally supplied free with some of their pro CF cards or you may have to buy a copy. Alternatively, get friendly with people in a photo studio very quickly! I've used this before when I had some troublesome cards. I got everything back but was told that there was a chance that some files may not be recoverable. I was quite lucky I think!
