Help! i had pics in my camera that i had not downloaded yet [about 20 pics.], i went tryed to transfer these to my computer and only the 2 most recent photos downloaded the others were missing and i didn't delete them. It happened again today. i had my vacation photos in the camera and then proceeded to continue taking more pics, which i've done before without any problems, when i went to look at them, the prior photos were missing and about half of the new ones i had just taken disappeared also. is there any way to recover these?
Well, no matter you photos in Canon camera got deleted, formatted by accident or became inaccessible due to camera memory card errors. Chances of recovery is possible as long as you take the right action.
Take a try of this software to recover Canon photos, Not only general photo formats, but Canon RAW photo formats (.cr2 or .crw) can be retrieved easily.
Note: before the photos are recovered, Never should you attempt to take more photos or save more data to the memory card in case chances of photo recovery might be reduced. Hope it helps. Regards.
Try to refresh your computer after downloading your pictures always, and always scan first your camera before downloading. maybe find your ohter pictures on folders.

Open the card slot cover and push down gently on the edge of the card as if to push it further into the camera. The card will pop out a bit, allowing you to grasp it and pull it out all the way.
The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.
Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.
Go into the camera menu and find "reset"...follow the on-screen instructions. Then, format the card in the camera.(download any pics first using a card reader if necessary).
Your problem is likely due to weak/worn out batteries or corrosion on the battery contacts inside the camera which can
prevent the full power of the batteries from
flowing into the camera.
Try this free fix before you do anything else: remove the batteries and
wipe the camera contacts firmly with
a dry cloth (heavy corrosion may require cleaning with a wire brush,
steel wool, or sandpaper). Remove any residue that may have fallen
into the battery compartment during cleaning, then wipe both ends of
the batteries and place them back in the camera and give them a full
charge (assuming that you're using rechargeable batteries). This
cleaning clears
the problem about 90% of the time. If it doesn't work for you, your batteries may be due for replacement, or the
camera may have
a problem that requires professional repair.
I have the A570, which is fairly similar, and I use one of two methods for transferring pics from the camera to the computer. One is to use a USB cable between computer and camera, and the other requires removing my micro SD card and plugging it into a card reader. ( I purchased micro SD cards with SD adapters so I can use the second method.) Using the second method allows you to view the data just like you would any other data on your hard drive. If you don't have a card reader, maybe a friend does? At this time, I don't know if there is a problem with the camera/computer connection, or the data card. Re-post with more detail regarding what you do to transfer, and whether you get any error messages, if this doesn't help.
The Display button manually turns the LCD display on or off to save batteries. If you accidentally had turned the LCD off, It should only take one press of the button to turn it back on and leave it that way. As such, it's not you but the camera. The A570 IS is relatively new. Your camera is likely still under warranty. If so, contact Canon for warranty repair (see the following link):
I had a similar problem with my Canon Elura 100 camcorder when I tried to transfer the video. It turned out that my computer has some codex installed that was conflicting with the download of the video. So I went to another computer that I was sure had no codex files installed, and had no problem downloading the videos.
