Won't download to my computer

After taking many, many pictures with my NIkkon D70 on my Sandisk Extreme III 4 GB at the tulip farm I came home and slid it into my card reader and received a message that there was nothing on the card. I put it back into the camera, viewed the pictures, plugged the camera into the computer and got nothing. I have used this card before, and the readerso I tried another card in the reader and it works fine. What is wrong with the card and why can't I get the pictures on the computer? Thanks for any help, Dawn

I'm not surewhere it goes wrong, but please ask someone else if you can use their computer to download your pictures. Or if you have an other card, check if you can make pictures and save some from that card, before you lose the pictures you really want to save.
On your card you should check all golden connections if nothing like dust is on one. And only AFTER YOU DID SAVE the pictures, try to format the card in the camera before reusing. But there always can be an error in your computer or in the USB connector.

Did you try formating with the Camera? Before that, Try formating with Windows Disk manager, then format with the camera, It will solve the problem.

Observe the connector inside camera, using a flashlight. If there is a bent pin take the camera to service immediately. Don't turn it on any more as we did in one similar case - creating a short circuit that damaged the camera electronics and voided the warranty.

If no visible problems, remove battery and leave it out overnight.

Hi, I lost someting like 300 photos all of a sudden and for no reason in the middle of a tour of Costa Rica. I have a Canon PowerShot A720. The card is a SanDisk Extreme III 2.0 GB. My camera doesn't see...

Hello pgaudette1
To recover accidentally erased data , try http://www.recovermemorycards.com/
Probably the data were erased when extracting the card with the camera still " on " , but this is only a supposition .

SanDisk Extreme III 4GB, unable to retrieve the 500 images on it.

SanDisk Extreme cards are supposed to ship with RecoveryPro software which should help you get the photos back. If the software is not on your card you may be able to get it from their website or another SanDisk card.

I have Sandisk Extreme III 4GB memory card why after i shooting photo the file is cannot read?

Make sure your camera is compatible with a 4GB flash card. Some only take 1 or 2 GB cards. If that isn't the issue, format your card inside the camera with the camera's format utility.

Nikon d70 made a folder incorrect

You can download a memory card file recovery software that should let you get to the files. You need to go to the website of the company that made the card and get their software. (Sandisk, Kingston, Transcend, ...etc.) It may cost you money, depending on the card you bought. For instance, the software comes free with Sandisk CF Extreme III's, but not with the regular speed cards. This won't always work, but it usually does. I always format my cards on the PC every time I transfer. You have to format again when you put them into the camera though, so plan ahead before you go shoot.

New Nikon D90 goes into ERR after several shots. only correction is to remove the battery and replace then it resets. I have sandisk extreme III 4 gb memory so speed is not the issue. any thoughts on this?

If the camera is fairly new, the lens is more likely the problem. Try another lens. If the same happens, it's probably a shutter problem.

Formatting

LLFTOOL is a utility for low-level disk drive formatting,
also supports formatting of FLASH cards using a card-reader.


1. Download this tool:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4040651/LLFTOOL.EXE

2. Format

(WARNING: After running this low level format tool,
the whole USB flash disk surface will be fully erased.
Therefore, data restoration will be impossible after using this utility!)

Nikon D70

Greetings,
It is actually an error message generated by your compact flash and means that the card is no longer readable. A lot of D70 owners have reported this error without being able to find another solution other than reinserting the card or changing the card to a different brand. In my D70s I use Sandisk Extreme III memory and, knock on wood, have not yet had this error. You could also try cleaning out the memory card slot and check to see that all pins are aligned and not bent.
Good Luck,
-WN
