| 1414348 | 2016-01-11 22:52:00 | Hi guys & gals (or as 'Himself' would say 'Youse yins' I have an acquaintance who has a camera (type unknown, but most likely a Point & Shoot. They bought a new SD card at Dick Smiths, and took pics on their trip on the Transalpine train from Greymouth to Chch. Now they can't download their photo files. One of the local photography shops was unable to retrieve the files. Having been successful using SanDisk's RescuePro I offered to try - (unsuccessful). I tried, with no useful result. Two things I note: 1. Neither of my computers 'sees' the SD card 2. The new card wasn't formatted in the camera before use. My question to you - is there something else I could try before we format the card? And as always, TIA of your help. :) |

| 1414349 | 2016-01-11 23:26:00 | Can you leave the SD card in the camera, and connect the camera to the PC? | the_bogan (9949) | ||
| 1414350 | 2016-01-11 23:43:00 | I'll give that a try - ta. But possibly that is what these people started with. I always use my Lexar card reader.... I forgot to mention, the SD card is a Dick Smith special. :( |

| 1414352 | 2016-01-12 00:35:00 | Of course!:) | R.M. (561) | ||
| 1414353 | 2016-01-12 00:49:00 | Does the reader you tried support SDHC? If neither can see it this maybe the problem. That memory card is probably SDHC And what version of windows (if it's windows) is it? |

| 1414354 | 2016-01-12 00:55:00 | Can you view the photos from the camera itself (with the card in of course)? | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1414355 | 2016-01-12 00:56:00 | It's a Lexar card reader - reads both Compact Flash and SD. Short answer - don't know! Oh - and I tried another card reader on my laptop - don't know what brand... I could look! Right - Dick Smith - don't say a thing. It did work ok with my SD card. |

| 1414356 | 2016-01-12 01:02:00 | And no, you can't the pics now - although apparently they did see them for a while, and then they disappeared. I don't feel particularly optimistic. | R.M. (561) | ||
| 1414357 | 2016-01-12 01:04:00 | Does the reader you tried support SDHC? It does apparently. |
