First of all, don't store photos on a memory card. Transfer everything on your memory card to your computer or an external hard drive at regular intervals. SD cards can be lost, stolen, corrupted, or you can accidentally delete the images on them. It's just too risky to use them as a long-term storage strategy.

As for recovering lost photos, you very well might be able to do it. It depends on how long it's been since you deleted the photos and how much data you've stored on the card since you deleted them. Lexar and SanDisk both have file recovery software that works very well with memory cards. You get it free if you buy their pro cards but you can also buy it after the fact. That's what I'd recommend. I don't have a preference. I've used both and they've both worked well for me, although there's no guarantee. There are a lot of variables involved. In any case, here's a link for the page with the SanDisk software:

I hope that helps. Good luck!

If losing out images from the cam SD card than your can find your all image within internal memory of the cam which already specify in its. If you completely lasted your data images than you should go back and find some related images and make like original image which you like by Outsource Image Masking Service to iEdit Solutions

Unfortunately, I had the same situation. I found that the data from the SD card is missing, although the laptop can see it. At the moment I have recovered most of the files using the Uneraser program. The problem is that these files do not have their original names.

1) STOP and do not USE the card

2) Get an undelete or an file recovery program there are some free programs and allot of programs to purchase most of the free programs will do the job

Any file recovery and some of the undelete programs will not restore to the device which the file is on. I would recommend copying the recovered files to an CD as well as having an copy on your hard drive and or a portable hard drive.

It's safer to have multiple copies of your important computer files and digital photos. You never know when a hard drive or memory card will fail. Note writeable optical media only has a short life (7 to 15 years?) but magnetic mega can last 70-80 years.

As ershi writes, you need a data recovery tool to regain your photos back as long as you have not rewritten the original data. Do not save new data on this SD card and connect it to a computer or laptop via a card Reader.
And then, download data recovery software to restore your photos back. There are plenty of data recovery tools. You should cautiously select a right one.
Run the software several times so that you could restore the largest amount of your data.
At last, save your recovered data on a different card or drive in case of recovery failure.
Important note: The rewritten data can be erased forever. You should remember not to put new file to rewrite the original data.

Let me explain what I was looking for with the two unix commands. First the correct name of the filesystem mounted, that was DPS 2. Also, the permissions on the mount suggest the the filesystem is MSDOS. The second command confirms that the .Trashes directory exists. Now it's time to loose the command line with one last command. If any files are still in the .Trashes folder then you can retrieve them thru the GUI ->

open /Volumes/DPS\ 2/.Trashes
Good luck!

I would just like to share this wonderful app because I'm so overjoyed with it! It recovers any file, I guess. I accidentally deleted the media folder in my SD Card, but I recovered ALL of my music. Just click the DEEP SCAN option to be sure. BTW, it even works on your PC's recycle bin.

Did you ever get an answer? My 32gb micro sd card all of a sudden says damaged when it is in my phone and my computer won't recognize it anymore.

[PicBackMan]

Without wasting anytime I just un-mount it. Secondly I don't do any experiment with my SD card as it may worsen the situation. Then call up tech savvy friends if they can help otherwise take it to an expert to recover lost pictures. But, I usually do not panic because I have a habit of backing up photos to an external hard drive & on my computer.

Yes Orshi, you can still recover your lost pictures with some good SD card recovery software. No good freeware is available and average cost of these recovery software is $39. Most if these software come with demo version. with demo version you can only preview your recoverable files but to save them you need to purchase the full version.

The Trash bin is the unison of multiple directories (folders) that are placeholders for files ready to be unlinked. You have a .Trash directory in your home folder. Every mounted filesystem has a .Trashes directory that holds files moved to the Trash bin. Within this directory the operating system creates a directory with your user id (which is a number) as the name of the directory. The file(s) that you wish to trash are placed within this directory. While it would be typical to find the 501 directory this is not always the case.

I think there's a time limit to data recovery,The longer it takes, the harder it is to recover the data
