How Do I Download Pictures From My Memory Card

Took a ton of pictures today on vacation. I was able to view them on the camera itself after taking them. Got home, put memory card in my computer, pictures weren't there. Put memory card back in camera, pictures were gone from there too. What the heck?!

I tried running a data recovery tool to no avail. The files it found for me were all old pics. Nothing from today's date so I did not pay the money to recover them. All pictures from yesterday and before are still there.
My brother tried multiple recovery programs and had success with ZAR v. 9.2 (they have newer versions...this is just the one he happened to have from a recovery attempt on his phone a year or so ago). ZAR is the only one that was able to search deeper into the memory card and found all the pics.
So, after having them all saved to a folder on his desktop he went to transfer them to a flash drive for me to move them over to my computer and when it got to picture 172, the flash drive balked and said "no room..." This prompted him to investigate further and he discovered that that 172nd picture was 8 GIGS which explains why that last picture took so long during the recovery process! Don't know if that weirdness happened when the recovery was being done or if the memory card is the one that did that and which caused this whole mess in the first place.
Either way, I can't trust the card anymore and now don't trust the brand either. Without knowing what caused the problem in the first place, I'm going back to Transcend and hoping that sticking with a more well known brand will prevent this from happening again.
You can set it to either enable or disable. When set to disable it will flash up a message when you try to release the shutter without a memory card. When set to enable it will take a picture and display it but it will not to be saved. This setting is there for tethering to a computer. If this scenario is true you have no photos to recover.
I don't know that specific bands make a big difference. Just make sure you have a top brand which there are several. Make sure you get it from a good retailer, too. That is important. I have used most of them without incident. I also don't see that low level format is mandatory. As, I don't see formatting the SD card on your computer hurts anything. I might add if it is a Windows machine, however, Macs are funky.
i just had this problem happen to me. i viewed the pics multiple times on the camera so i know they were there. i had 4 diffrent dates i took pictures and only 2 of them i saved. i was going to download next 2 dates of pics after vacaion and i viewed them on vacation, got home put memory card in computer, nothing. put back in card to camera and all 4 pic dates where gone. im comletely lost and why they would vanish and these where important pics of friends baby 1 year pics. i couldnt have deleted them because i still have over 8k pics on the card. why would 3 months of pics just vanish? is all hope lost here? thanks
BTW, get the remaining 8 thousand off the SD card ASAP. A great way is the buy a portable HD. I have five 2TB portable HD's that I uses to store and back up important photos. I have three 3TB HD's in my Dell desktop where photos go as quickly as I get home. There is nothing on my camera's memory cards ever when I start a new shoot.
Hi, Without thinking I took a couple of pics with my Sony a390 and I forgot the memory card was still in my PC . It let me take the pictures ok and I'm wondering whether they will be saved on some internal memory and if so how can I access them ?
I don't know about your specific camera, but most cameras can hold a few photos in memory without a card inserted. I've had a couple of them that then allowed me to transfer the photos from camera memory to the memory card through some menu pick.
Usually the camera will inform you at the point of saving that internal memory is being used. If no such dialogue occured, it is probably best to assume no such memory exists. If it bleeps, and flashes "No card" at you, then you know you have none.
I've had several cameras that have enough internal memory to save about 4 or 5 photos. The only way to know is to check and one way is to connect it to a PC. Or there may be a menu option to move the files from internal to storage card.
This is a 7 year old thread and I don't know of any current camera that has any internal memory for storing images. As somebody has said on the thread, the memory capacity was very small, maybe for 10-20 images. I believe that is was only in the camera so that a memory card wasn't required for testing at the end of production.
If you put the memory card back into the camera and can view the images on the camera's LCD display, then they are still on the card and it shouldn't be any problem retrieving them. However, it is possible that the store deleted them accidentally. There is software available that may be able to retrieve deleted files from the card - try google.
4. Drag and drop any files you want onto the SD card in the sidebar. You can also drag files from the SD card to any other folder to transfer them to your computer. Bigger files may take a few moments to copy over.
3. Find the photos and files you want to move, and drag and drop them onto the SD card in the sidebar. If you're moving a lot of files, this may take some time. You can also drag files from the SD card to any other folder to transfer them to your computer.
I've read somewhere that deleting unwanted pictures from a memory card in camera is risky because there's a slight probability that the card will become corrupted, and all the data will be lost. The advice was to keep all the pictures, and delete them all only after downloading them to a computer.
I would add that even if your card had been corrupted from a single short action (such as deleting a photo) you would probably be able to restore most of the information on the card or even all of it.
Second, if you delete files from the card, that leaves a logical hole in the data on the card, and future files may only partially fit in the hole, leading to file fragmentation, which isn't a big deal but will reduce your chances of recovering files if you need to run an undelete utility.
The biggest concern deleting photos from the card is that it can be hard to evaluate if it will turn out good on the computer or not. I find the photos always look disappointing on the LCD screen, but they are fine on the computer. Ofc if it is a random shot into nothing (the floor) or seriously motion blurred it is certain that it wont work, and it can safely be deleted, if you are running out of space and dont have an extra card. It is easier to wait though for your selection process.
You may have to put them in a DCIM folder on the root of the SD card. If that doesn't work, take a picture (any will do), open it up on the computer, then paste the pictures in the folder created by the camera.
If this is the first time you are using this SD card, you should format it. This will make sure that it is setup correctly. Formatting an SD card may also help if you're having persistent issues setting up or using your external memory. Formatting an SD card will permanently wipe any data that you have stored on it. Make sure that any files you want to keep are backed up before formatting your SD card.
Setting files to save to your SD card automatically saves you from having to move them yourself. It is not currently possible to set everything you do on your device to save to an SD card, however there are some apps that allow this functionality.
Actually, SD card photos not showing up in Gallery occurs quite often on Android phones. This issue is slightly different from the pen drive not showing data on PC. Based on our experience, the memory card does not display files may be due to:
