Hopefully someone better qualified will come along and chime in but in the meantime, here's what I'd probably try: PhotoRec

.

A question... does the card show sufficient free space to be hiding approximately 1000 lost images?

Hold up on the utility program download. Stuff like this can be useful in specific situations but is rarely needed.

Plantbug - what did you have, then what did you do, and what have you done since? Explain what you see that makes you think the photos are lost. It may be but your explanation is bare. Need more info about your situation to be helpful

Thanks! That is an excellent suggestion. I held up River Reed C11-2 Olympic from Lowes and it was stunning. It also was a beautiful color with the paint in my master bedroom which is Olympic Crocodile Tears C12-3. Unfortunately I also need to get something to go with my dolphin, turtle and fish shower. It wasn't quite as stunning with that. I fiddled around with the greys in that area and like Sherman Williams Silver Strand 7057 but I don't know if I want to paint the little shower room a different color than the master bath. And I'm not sure I want to do a straight grey in the master bath as it is very large with a huge mirror so it would become alot of grey to be surrounded by. I've got the full Sherman Williams and Benjamin Moore color fan decks here at home so if you have a color in mind that you think would work well let me know. Thanks again! Here is a link that might be useful: Dolphin Turtle and Fish shower

It really doesn't seem that big of a deal of what always-bezzee did in getting that post to move. It couldn't be replied to so it couldn't be moved. It had sat there for almost 10 days and to me that was more annoying than the process to move it... which was a clever tip that might come in useful. On most forums there are admins that check their places everyday to move these things along. This isn't one of those places and I agree that post could have sat there for a much longer time.

SD Card Question
Q

Standard SD card capacities range from 4 MB to 2 GB, and for high capacity SDHC cards from 4 GB to 32 GB as of 2008. The format has proven to be very popular. However, a change in the format, while allowing capacities greater than 4 GB (SDHC), has created compatibility issues with older devices which cannot read the new format. Since SDHC format cards have the same physical shape and form factor as the older format, this has caused considerable confusion for consumers. SDHC cards require an SDHC capable device firmware, generally not found with older devices. Contents

Great find! I love the green fabric you chose to cover and I would definitely NOT skirt such great lines. I also don't think this sort of chair normally has cording, although I guess that's personal preference. It looks authentic now, without cording. I have seen them with partially padded and upholstered arms too, from where arms meet the back to about halfway down the arms, if you felt like trying that. I like the idea of the low-back pillow to add interest... also very easily changed out. Your living room looks so pretty and inviting and I'm loving what the touch of green will do for it too.

SnidelyWhiplash, I took the card to WalMart to print a picture. A couple weeks later I was trying to show my husband the pictures we had taken on our trip out west. What a surprise I had!!! Less than two weeks of our trip was still there. I ask WalMart about this and I was assured they have no way to erase pics. I did use a recovery program and it shows the dates but no pics. I was hoping someone would have a solution. Thanks for reading my post.

Sometimes files can be obliterated from SD cards (and in fact segments can become inaccessible) if the card is removed from a PC without being first dismounted/ejected. Especially if it has been opened by a program and the program is still active, that might have happened at Walmart.

I hope the copies on the SD card weren't your only copies. If so, you may be out of luck. If it's important to you, you may want to take the card to a local PC technician (not Geek Squad at Best Buy) to seen if an industrial strength recovery tool might work.

It's better to make duplicate copies of photo files from SD cards at your first opportunity. Onto a PC or two, onto an external drive, or both ways. To take files for prints, use a duplicate file copy that you're okay losing if there's a problem. Any one of the following will work - a thumb drive, an SD card used only for this purpose, a burned CD (they cost less than a dime), or even just upload the files directly to the store's website.

Good luck

You could also try this product, which gets good reviews. I believe that it's free to use for the first 2GB of files. If you have a larger amount, then you have to pay for the program: EaseUS Recovery Tool
