I’ve got a very strict process I follow when copying photos from a camera:
I was in a hurry I wanted to get that stuff done before the train took off, I figured someone would sit next to me since the train is sold out and I wanted to get all the USB SD adaptor and cameras put away.
The first thing I did was that I moved them to a new folder and then something bad happened. I’m not sure if I tried to drag the new folder to my computer too soon or what but I had to force a reboot and they chip is now goofed. I will be using some recovery software on this. I had just quick reformatted the chip so all the files should be sequential so I’m hopeful.
I took lots of photos and video while testing this new camera out with the bloggers and while running around Chicago. I’m so bummed. I guess I’ve got 5 hours on the train to see if I can find some software to download to fix it. I do have a few photos I took on my other camera, but none of the DaveCago people are on it and neither are any of the night shots I was taking (after a second look, other than out my hotel room window, I really didn’t take any with the other camera).
Any Macintosh software suggestions? I have a Windows machine if you have a Windows only suggestion.
I’ve used an assortment of freeware/shareware apps, and they all work pretty much the same. The last one I used is “Card Raider 2” – $20 shareware – and it worked like a champ.
Hope you can recover the photos.
It was great to see you again. Thanks for the tips on Costa Rica!
I have no idea how to help you recover. Sorry about that. I do feel bad and you can feel free to steal copies of my photos! Not that this helps, but it’s something.
I recovered my photos !!!
I thought I lost my photos from Chicago the other day but I purchased the $20 software CardRaider from ecamm and now it’s all better. I download the program, it scanned my files and I think it recovered them all (movies and photos). I’ll try and post s…
