Losing ALL the pictures on your SD card... Aaah!!!


It may have happened once to you... and recently, it happened to me!  Losing ALL the pictures on your SD card from an Error.  It can happen so easily.  You pull the SD Card from your laptop (when you accidentally forget to "safely remove" the drive), and the next thing you know... you double click on the SD Card drive and its empty!!! AAAH!!! No pictures?!!  You put your SD Card in your camera, and it recognizes ZERO photos. Are all your pictures are gone forever? Not necessarily.

This dilemma happened to my SD card this week...  pictures from travels, friends, and great memories. But, none of them were accessible due to the SD card error and my digital camera recognizing no pictures at all.

I frantically googled "what to do when your SD Card doesnt recognize pictures"  and realized there are internet companies that charge $40 or so dollars to retrieve your photos online.  Kind of a scam, when you can do this for free.

I almost gave into the scammers.... until I Youtube'd the same words, and came across this Completely Free, helpful link that allowed me to retrieve 100% of all my pictures back. There were a couple of corrupted photos, however, Id have to say 99% were good.  Videos also were retrieved. Phew!

Here's the youtube instruction link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2M67kzSHm90

And the website free helpful software link:  http://www.z-a-recovery.com/

Hope this link helps you out if ever you've faced with this SD card error problem. One tip to keep in mind to prevent this from happening: Always remember to click the "Safely Remove" SD Card button on the lower right hand corner of your screen to prevent the corruption of any of your valuable photos when you remove the SD Card. :)
