1D stored image retrieval

Fellow Canonicals!

has anyone yet suffered not being able to retrieve images from a card? unable also to retrieve via direct connection to Mac.

all were verified at time of exposure. many were later reviewed. after sitting idle for a day in office the camera was unable to review images and reader showed none in file.

Sounds like a card may be going south. Get/find a card reader. You may be able to salvage it that way.

First of all.

DO NOT try to access the card until you get hold of a card reader.

Go to the following page http://www.pcinspector.de/
and download PC Inspector File Recovery.

This is a freeware app which I have used with success on a CF card after I had deleted the images.

Don't forget - even a format has not got rid of the data until you have overwritten it, so there is hope yet!

Thanks very much!

essentially that is what I did and I came out ok.

I need to format my cards on a PC more often. The PC does a more elaborate and thorough clean and check. I actually retrieved files off the card that were supposedly erased a year ago.
