I have a larger memory card and keep photos on there even after I upload them on the computer... took a family portrait session today and could see the pictures fine... when I got home I had troubles with Iphoto reading the card so I pulled it out. I think that's where my issue was... I was scared to touch it so I took it to wolf camera and they ran it for 39 dollars but nothing showed up... said sector was unreadable they are going to run the expert software or something. I have about 2,000 photos on it.... new card used the passed 6 months or less. I only need the family portraits back. I just don't understand... how can I not get them??? I was pretty confident from reading past experiences of other people that they'd be able to recover most of the pictures... but none??? : ( If anyone knows how on earth I can get the photos that would be a HUGE help... I have never had this problem before.

I remembered Thomas' post from way back about recovering data from these cards, and sure enough when I found it, and tried PhotoRescue, it worked a charm. I suspect it may come in handy in the future too now I've bought it.

You must separate the memory chip and dump the raw data to recover your data, look here: <a href="http://card-recovery.biz/us/service.php" rel="nofollow">CF xD SD MMC memory card/stick photo recovery</a> If you have problems with your memory card in 80% of all cases the controller of your card is damaged and no software or card reader can help.

I didn’t panic. It was a Lexar card, but their software crashed while using it – several times. Sandisk’s software worked fine, and I was able to recover all the images.

Never had a problem with my mac while downloaded though.

The card seems fine now, but I’m afraid to trust it again. What are the chances of a repeat occurance with this same card?

I was emptying my memory card into flash drives as they get full. However the first time, my friend did the copying for me in a net cafe. After couple of weeks, while I was dumping other pics to the same drive, I realized the most of my photos are missing. By then I have emptied the memory card twice and formatted it.<br /><br />I know its too late, I tried using several softwares to recover it, but of no use. Please let me know if I can do anything to get them. Hi,
