johart02 Posted May 4, 2015 Share #1 Posted May 4, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Dear all Experts, i believe this has been answered many times before but i couldn't find the exact post related to my problem. Just after one month M-P ownership i started a three week india trip with only one Lexar 64 GB 400x speed memory card - halfway through i had to buy another card at New Delhi airport (first card was full). I bought the most premium possible Strontium 128 GB micro sd with sd adapter. Back home iPhoto didn't respond after half an hour loading the photos, so i had to force quit the program. Now please see iphoto photo attached how they are imported after second successful attempt. Downloaded Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery and JPEG repair without any success. Are my photos lost forever ? Can i maybe get the photos out of the 2GB internal storage ? Any help is welcome. I am still a Leica Newbie, so please excuse my ignorance...

Manoleica Posted May 4, 2015 Share #2 Posted May 4, 2015 Hi, iPhoto has really been replaced by Photo.. It could be your computer needs updating.. Try downloading to another computer via a card reader... FWIW - I always download my images daily either to iPad or MacBook.. Then after I have confirmed images are transferred and OK - I always Format my card in the camera.. Try a RESET on your M-P and go from there... I have never had an issue d/loading via a card reader on any SD from any of my Leicas or other cameras... Good Luck.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted May 4, 2015 Share #3 Posted May 4, 2015 Just transfer the DCIM folder to your desktop and take it from there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manoleica Posted May 4, 2015 Share #4 Posted May 4, 2015 Just transfer the DCIM folder to your desktop and take it from there. But if the card is corrupt however you transfer it will still be corrupt.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted May 4, 2015 Share #5 Posted May 4, 2015 Yes b But if the card is corrupt however you transfer it will still be corrupt.. Yes but he can play with the files then, use LR, run them through a DNG converter, whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted May 4, 2015 Share #6 Posted May 4, 2015 I realize it does not help the OP, but if I have said it once I have said it a hundred times: before downloading your card : LOCK IT ! If I tell you three times it is true.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheshireCat Posted May 5, 2015 Share #7 Posted May 5, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Looking at the screenshot, it is not really clear to me why you think your photos are lost. The upper black border in the thumbnails is "normal" with Leica's DNG. Try displaying a photo full size and let us know what happens. P.S. The internal 2GB memory is just a temporary RAM buffer that contains the images being written to the card. When the red light stops blinking, the buffer is empty.

jaapv Posted May 17, 2015 Share #9 Posted May 17, 2015 Exactly. Do you mean slide the plastic lock on the side of the card? Exactly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brill64 Posted May 18, 2015 Share #10 Posted May 18, 2015 jaapv...why lock the card before downloading? i've not practiced this before but you've made me curious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted May 18, 2015 Share #11 Posted May 18, 2015 Because your computer will attempt to write files back onto your card. You do not want that, as those files (mostly hidden) take up space or in a worst case scenario corrupt the software on your camera. Plus any trouble downloading could corrupt the image files on your card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheshireCat Posted May 18, 2015 Share #12 Posted May 18, 2015 I have never write-protected my card and never got any issue on Windows and Mac OS X. Just download the files from the card and don't use any third-party software to view the files on the card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manoleica Posted May 18, 2015 Share #14 Posted May 18, 2015 I have never Locked a card. On OSX just download to the computer & Open in *Preview. Format card in Camera.. I believe there is an equivalent *program on Windows computers.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Kilmister Posted May 18, 2015 Share #16 Posted May 18, 2015 I've never had a problem, whether taking out my SD card and using my Win 7 PC or via the Multifunction Handgrip connection. @jaapv: Your idea makes sense if files were to get written to the SD card. Nothing has been written to my card except DNG files. I am curious so please tell us more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
