Files are corrupted when storing to this usb

I would:
- connect thru USB the phone to a computer
- create a folder in the computer desktop
- find the phone in the computer, find the internal phone memory
- find pictures, videos, music, and document files in the internal phone memory to copy and paste to the folder created in the desktop. This could be one at a time, a few at a time, or a bunch at a time.
- when done finding, copying and pasting to the desktop folder, open the desktop folder, open the files to verify the files open correctly and are not corrupt.
- once files in desktop folder are verified good, delete the original same files from the phone, the ones copied.
- now find the phone external memory, the SD card and copy files from the created folder to where they can be placed.
- all this is done thru the computer
- once done, set up your phone apps so the app stores any new media in the extrernal SD memory to avoid future filling of the internal phone memory.

ALTERNATE WAY TO TRANSFER PHOTOS AND VIDEOS TO A COMPUTER

If your photos and videos are stored on the memory card, then remove the memory card from the camera and insert it into an USB memory card reader. Connect this USB memory card reader and memory card into the USB port of your working computer. Your computer will see this as an USB Mass Storage Device or an external storage device; you can then open the folder on the memory card and copy the photos to your computer.
Memory card reader is a handy device and is inexpensive. You can copy photos from other cameras and you can also download photos off your memory card to someone else's computer without the need of installing any programs.

Your Windows profile is likely corrupted. That doesn't mean your files are gone. Your profile is stored on the C: drive in part in two locations (I am assuming Windows 7) It is stored in C:\USERS\<LOGIN ID> is where you will find your files (Like your My Documents, Favorites, and Desktop icons) Many of your settings will be stored in the registry in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive.

Basically, I would rebuild your profile, but BACK UP YOUR FILES FIRST!!!!! the way you rebuild your profile, is to delete the files and login again. Windows will act like you have never logged in before and create a new profile folder.

So ....the way you do it, is .... Login to the Administrator account in Windows 7.

Browse to C:\USERS folder. Make a back up copy of the folder that has the name of your Login ID.

Rename the <Login ID> folder to something Like <LoginID>OLD or whatever.

reboot your machine

login again using your credentials.

if that doesnt work, as long as you have backed up files, try going into control panel and creating a NEW user and login using that.

Then copy your important files back. (My documents, my music, etc) Don't copy the whole profile folder because you may copy whatever was corrupted right back. Just copy back the files you need.

Your iphoto program maybe corrupted, try reinstalling the iphoto program.OR
If your photos are stored on the memory card, then removethe memory card from the camera and insert it into an USB memory card reader.Connect this USB memory card reader and memory card into the USB port of yourworking computer. Your computer will see this as an USB mass storage device oran external storage device, you can then open the folder on the memory card andcopy the photos to your computer.

Martin you do not say what version of Windows you are using but the instructions should help regardless.

When you insert the USB device (memory stick or smart card) you should normally be prompted for what action to take where one of the options is to Open a folder to read the files on the device - you should select this option then keep that folder window open on your desktop.

Next, navigate to where your pictures are held on your laptop - ideally do this using Windows Explorer - turn on Thumbnail view of the pictures if it helps to identify the ones to be copied.

Select all the pictures - use Ctrl+A if you want to select all the ones currently being shown in a folder. Then use Ctrl+C to copy this pictures.

Now go back to the folder that opened when you inserted the USB device.
Click anywhere within the window for that folder - preferably in the empty space where the pictures should be copied to, then use Ctrl+V to paste the copied pictures into the folder.

When the paste action has finished you should see all the copied pictures now in the USB folder and be able to view Thumbnails of these if needed.

Don't forget when removing the USB device to Safely Remove this by clicking on the icon in the task bar area of the desktop as this ensures that all the picture file data has been completely written to the device and you do not get any corrupted files due to a delayed write error (where the system is caching the data).

Hi. All you have to do is:

- Insert your new USB flashdrive in an empty USB slot in your desktop computer.

- A new window will appear and will ask you what you want to do with that device... Choose "Open folder to view files".

- Then just leave it there and go to the file(s) you want to copy, right click on i and click "copy"

- Go back to your USB folder, right click on an empty space on that folder and click "paste". That will copy the files into your USB flashdrive.

- Remove the USB flashdrive from your desktop.

- Insert it into your laptop's empty USB slot.

- A new window will appear and will ask you what you want to do with that device... Choose "Open folder to view files".

- Highlight all the files you want to copy from USB flashdrive folder, right click and click "cut".

- Go to your laptops folder where you want to copy the files, right click on an empty space and click "paste".

1. DO NOT USE THE SOFTWARE PACKAGED WITH YOUR CAMERA.
2. The easiest program to copy picture files from one place to another came with your computer. It's called "My Computer"
3. Turn off your camera and remove the memory card.
4. Insert the memory card in a card reader, either one that's built into the computer or a separate one.
5. To open My Computer, click Start, and then click My Computer
6. The memory card shows up as a removable disk in "My Computer"
7. Left click on that removable disk to find a folder called DCIM (Digital Camera IMages)
8. The files in that folder are your pictures, and their names end in "jpg"
9. Copy those files by selecting them and copying them. The keyboard shortcut (control-A) marks all the photos in a folder and the keyboard shortcut (control-C) copies them to the computer's clipboard.
10. Navigate to the folder within "My Documents" named "My Pictures" and paste (control-V) your photos into place.
11. Learn how to make new subfolders within the master folder "My Pictures" so that it's easier to find a photo you want. I make up folders with names like "2007March" and divide my photos by the month taken.
12. After you copy files or folders to the hard drive, it is useful to view the hard drive to confirm that the files are copied.
13. Do not erase photos from your memory card until you are positive you've saved them on the hard drive!

Using the camera as a source, instead of a card reader (but we really, really suggest using a card reader)

• You can copy photo files directly from your camera to the computer. Use the USB cable that came with the camera.
• Very important: make sure that your batteries have a full charge before you start this procedure.
• If the power fails during the transfer, data will be corrupted.
• Be very careful when inserting the USB cable connector into the socket of the camera. This is one of the most fragile components of the camera and we have seen cameras damaged by carelessness.
• After you copy files or folders to the hard drive, it is useful to view the hard drive to confirm that the files are copied.
• For the greatest safety of your irreplaceable images, make a second copy on CD, DVD or detachable hard drive.

Unfortunately, if you did a full system restore without backing up your data, it's gone. Sorry, man. However, if you sign into your PSN account, you'll still have your trophies. I know it's not much. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

Are you sure the files are transferred to the sd card. With some camcordes you can transfer files back and forth, you can only copy the to your pc... unplug and plug it in again and check if the files are still there if aren't use a sd card reader to transfer these files back to your cam. But if the files are on the sd card and your camera still doesn't read them, try recording a new movie, see where it's located, does it have a seperate folder and try doing the same with your org movie. I hope it helps. :)

Hi danievo:
First, make sure that you never insert another card formatted in another camera to one which is different, even same brands may be different. Doing this can corrupt all the pictures on the card. Just inserting the card in the camera to read it can cause the camera to make folders or files for it's type.

Here is the safest thing to do, and I have gotten back pics I could not see on the camera.

Buy or get a card reader. Install the card reader...usually if it is a usb, simply plug it into a usb port, and it should be detected by the computer system. If it is not, then restart the system with the card reader plugged in.
The card should be able to be read if the files are still there.
If you had pictures which are valuable, then there are programs which will bring back any deleted pictures which have not been over written by other files.
This is why it is best to copy all files as soon as you remove the card from a camera.
Also a note here.. never delete or add files to the card which you value from the pc. Not a good idea, because of the danger of corruption which can occur from that.
Best practice: When you put a new or used card into any camera, first make sure there are no pictures or files of any kind you want to save, then format the card in the camera you intend to use it in. This sets up the card to be used to the best advantage of the camera's system.
Many times users wonder why their camera saves the pictures so slow. One reason can be that the card was not formatted to be used in that camera.
For instance if the card was formatted in a Nikon, and then you put it into a Canon, the canon will make canon folders and files and may corrupt the remaining files.
