eruheru Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I went to download images from my digi cam and found that nearly all of the pictures (110 of them) had been corrupted and couldnt be viewed. some of them can be seen as thubnails in an explorer, but other than that most of them dont work. is there anyway to fix this? the camera is a kodak easyshare cx7430 thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kedas Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Try not to use a card reader but connect your camera to your computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kedas Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Maybe the card was formated wrongly/different than what the camera expected. Not sure if they can be recovered. (you mean USB connection right) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5614 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Care to expand on the prob??? You formatted the card from? How did you format it? How should it be formatted? What format are the pics you want to recover it in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eruheru Posted October 31, 2005 Author Share Posted October 31, 2005 the pictures are jpegs. i didnt change the card format Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I don't follow. If your pics are in .jpeg format then whats the prob? .jpeg is fine to work with, just open with Paint or whatever. What's the prob? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoli Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 hmm... I wonder if you were originally uploading your pics onto a different OS, if it would require your card to be in a different format, then when you switched to your current OS (windows ME) the current format wouldn't work. You could reformat your card, but you'd loose all your pictures (I think). Maybe try putting the pictures onto my computer... see if that works.

YT2095 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 take it to your local Photo-Shop, they deal with all sorts of different formats and media types, get your pics put onto CD, if they show up perfectly, you`ll know it`s not your cam or ram module AND you`ll have a working copy of your pics that can try in your viewer. that`ll elliminate much of the guesswork as to what the problem is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaynos Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Try takeing the images off one at a time, try using some other software to download the pictures, try using a card reader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 OR, save yourself all the hassle and goto a Photo-shop. the cards are read automaticaly and displayed on screen will be the pics, you DON`T have to even commit to buying a cd or a hardcopy of them, just use their equip to verify there`s no card problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
