Thanks for the link.
The card seems to be behaving itself again; I just shot over 500 photos and everything looks fine—files open without any issues and the metadata is all there.
Anyway, it hasn't happened again. 😁
So, I’ve been using this 32GB SD card (HC-Class 10) in my Microsoft camera for about a year now. Up until recently, transferring videos to my PC was smooth sailing, though I did have one weird hiccup where a few photos wouldn't transfer properly—but I didn't think much of it at the time since everything seemed fine after a quick format. Then, out of nowhere, disaster struck. I went to move 150 photos over, and 28 of them were just... gone.
The weirdest part? The camera itself showed me all the photos perfectly fine. But once they hit my computer, those 28 files are total ghosts. No thumbnails, no metadata, nothing—no file size, no shutter settings, you name it. And now, they aren't even showing up on the camera anymore either. I honestly have no idea what happened. (For what it's worth, the corruption isn't sequential; it's random, like ten good ones followed by two duds, then back to normal.)
Is there any way to actually rescue these files?
Olivia Green46 said:You can actually do both. If you don't have a decent-sized box lying around at home, you can just pick one up right at the UPS Store.
So, after arguing with them for a bit today, the folks at the post office told me I should just grab my own box since they don't carry anything that big. They said if I call them once it's all packed up, they'll swing by, pick it up, and ship it off to whoever needs it.
I need to ship out a package tomorrow—specifically my guitar. I’ve sent smaller parcels before, so I think I get the gist, but since this is easily the biggest thing I've ever had to mail, I'm feeling a bit lost. Will any local FedEx office (like the one on Main Street) just take it without a fuss? And what's the deal with the packing process? Am I expected to hunt down a massive box myself, or do they actually keep stuff like that in stock? 🤷
