SD card jiggered?
 

I've just tried to upload some pictures from this afternoon but can't seem to upload them...

My scanner and camera wizard came up with the following notification..

The wizard did not successfully complete copying your pictures because an error occured..

Clicked error information

The following problem occured while copying your pictures. The system cannot find path specified...

This is the first time this has happened and not exactly sure if it's a computer, SD card or camera fault?

Any help would be greatfully appreciated

I think the first question to be asked is, can you view the photos on the cameras LCD?.

Personally I would never use the scanner/camera wizard, or indeed connect my camera to a computer. I would always use a card reader, you can pick up new readers for less than £4.

i go with a card reader and the program that came with my dslr.
also found 8gb SDHC seemed a problem with tranfering. unless you have a new pc with high speed USB2.0 that could have something to do with it.. but im not really 'down with that'

Thanks for the feedback Harry and Jamie..

Harry, I can still read the pictures on the cameras LCD screen, just can't seem to download them to my folders as I usually do...though I did eventually manage to download them via my Picasa2 program I installed last year..

Still unsure as to why my scanner and camera wizard won't work...at least I know I haven't knackered my mothers camera and SD card :rolleyes:

Hi Matt, Did your SD card come with any recovery software? I'm afraid I use CF cards but SanDisk provide a recovery program for these sort of things. I echo the advice to use a card reader - also I would scrap that particular card after such an event - erring on the side of caution.

You are in luck:

this may help its free if you install it within the next 18 hours.

Unfortunately not!!

I'm currently looking into getting a card reader, assuming my PC will take one?

One problem I've found while downloading pics to my folders using the picasa program is that it makes two copies of everything by making a duplicate folder? ..yet when I delete one picture from the unwanted second folder both copies get deleted. I've tried clicking on the ''exclude duplicates'' box but it doesn't seem to solve the problem..

Your PC will take an external card reader if you have a USB port free. You may be able to fit an internal one if you have USB header pins available on your motherboard.

For external drives, take a look at www.pic-stop.co.uk these people are also very good for cards, including the premium cards that come with image recovery software :rolleyes:
