Were the pictures stored on the cameras internal memory or on a memory card?

 

[asdin]

yes the pictures are stored in the memory card, i copy the pictures and paste them in my computer! i need help!

 

[Darkbreeze]

My guess would be that there is an issue with memory card and the files were corrupted. Are you trying to read them from the card or have you tried copying them off the card into a folder on your computer?

 

[asdin]

yes after i took out the memory card from my phone, the corrupted pictures inside the sd card when missing. fortunately i copy the corrupted images to my computer. either way now on my phone and computer i am unable to view the image

Unfortunately, I'm going to say it's pretty likely the memory card is bad. Sounds like the file system index was created on the phone in relation to the pictures you took, but the memory card never fully wrote the data.

 

[asdin]

its there a solution to this? yup i guess you are right.

 

[Darkbreeze]

Not really. It sucks, but sometimes that's the way it goes. If the files had been fully written on a stable media and THEN something had failed, it might be possible to recovery some of it using data recovery software, but when it's written to corrupted media to start with there is little to nothing you can do.

I'd definitely replace the memory card with a new one and be sure in the future to either keep it in the camera or away from any sources of magnetism or moisture.

aww the pictures are important to me. yup going to replace the card soon.. argh i still have the corrupted images files is there a alternative solutions?

You can try one of these, but of course there's no guarantees. It might work, it might not. Or it might partially work. You'll just have to try and see.

i tried the Stella phoenix but to no avail. guess its a gone case.. so sad..

I'm sorry to hear it. I've lost data before myself that was highly important so I know the feeling. The only other option, if it was INCREDIBLY important, would be to try a professional data recovery service, but as I said, if the data was bad to start with there probably isn't much even they could do.

 

[asdin]

yup alright, i am glad that you are able to provide me some insights of it, and thank you very much . yup the images are important but not till the extend i have to go for the professional data recovery service

Ok, well good luck to you asdin.
