To make a long story short my 32gb sd card that is on my phone went bad. I lost many gigs of important files. I have no way of retrieving them as the phone or pc no longer recognize the card.
It doesn’t recognize the card at all, or just the files?
There is still a chance, I think. If I recall, photo stores may be able to retrieve lost info, to a degree.
There are specialists who can recall data, even on cards that have corrupted. At least you still have the card. My phone decided to dive into a canal in Venice, so I really had no way of getting my pictures back!
Does the phone say that any memory is being used up?
The reason I ask is because I once had an SD card from a camera which showed the pictures on the camera, but not on a PC (although the PC did recognize that there was a card and that memory was used, it didn’t recognize the files).
I was able to recover some of the pictures by uploading the folder to Google Drive. If you have an Android, and the phone at least shows the card, you should try to see if it can be uploaded.
Doesn’t sound like it’ll work, though. 🙁
I assume you already tried cleaning the contact point.
There is downloadable software, such as CardRecovery, which is supposed to help, but I’ve never tried it.
Hatzlocha.
It seems WIY forgot to backup his last post!
Don’t put anything onto the card! It can delete the things that are there that you can’t see. Take it to a professional to try to save the data…
If you don’t want to spend money, I can give you a few tips that sometimes work, but also sometimes mess up the card. 1) put it into a card reader and into the computer
2)run an anti-virus scan on it
3)enable viewing hidden files/folders
4)enable viewing of system files
if you see anything, copy and paste elsewhere.
What caused this?
a- dont use the card or you reduce the chance of recovery greatly
b- these often can be recovered. Find out how much it costs to professionall recover, it may not be much. I dowloaded a free program once n was able to recover my pics on a corrupted sd card. I cant remember ofhand what program it was, i do remember i first tried recuva(?) and that one didnt work.
wiy- you can
What I mean is Was it caused by physical damage?
