Question about Olympus Camedia C-740 Ultra Zoom Digital Camera
I have a well used XD card. I erased all pictures and then took about 30 pictures. I can see the pictures on my camera screen, but when I attempt to download, my computer is not finding anything. I put the card in my HP printer and I can print the pictures, but when I attempted to read the card from my computer through the printer, I got the same message that the card was empty. any ideas.
Hi cruyf, It sounds as if the data (pictures) on your memory card has become corrupted. There are lots of programs that claim to be able to recover deleted files. These are corrupted files so I?m not sure how well they will do. The first program I reference will show you what it can recover but if you want to get the images you have to pay $40 to activate the software. I?ve used this before and it worked for me but be aware there are lots of other programs, some free. Here is the link: http://www.diskinternals.com/products/deleted-data-recovery/ Here is another that claims to be able to recover both deleted and corrupted files: http://www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/uk/welcome.htm After you have pulled your pictures off the card (or if you give up) you should use the cameras format utility on the card before you use it again. I?ve had this problem on memory cards before and this has fixed my problem. Let us know how it goes and don?t forget to rate the posting.

My problem is similiar to this one. I had my card open in the computer. It was opening very slow, but I had LOTS of pics on it. I deleted some of them thinking it would work faster. Still slow, so I closed it all and removed the card from the slot, reinserted the card and tried to open it again. I wouldn't open, card error. Needed to format card. I put the card back in my camera and it wouldn't show the pics either. It wanted to format my card. I didn't format it, because I was hoping to be able to save my pictures. Any advise? Thanks!
