What to Do When You Lose Your Photos on Your Memory Card
From Thomas Hawk’s Digital Connection
So there I was Friday night shooting down at Mike Arrington's biggest Web 2.0 tech meet and greet of the year, TechCrunch 9. After filling up one 8 GB card I went to my car to get my second 8 GB card and also to begin transferring the shots from my first 8 GB card (both SanDisks by the way) onto my Mac.
But a strange thing happened. When I plugged my USB card reader into my Mac, my Mac froze. And there was no getting it unstuck. For about 5 minutes I tried. Finally I rebooted my Mac. When I rebooted my Mac I went to copy my images from the card to the Mac and they were gone. The card was empty. All my shots disappeared.
The card read 7.8 GB available and none of my shots were there.
Now this has happened to me in the past before so I thought I'd write up a little post on what to do if you lose photos on your memory card...
