And I have a USB backup drive where I immediately copy the pictures to it too or a USB stick, besides the harddrive. They say, the best thing is to format in the camera, but I had no problem formatting in Explorer, rightclick, format, Maybe then you can use the card again. I know xD cards are more expensive than SD, so I always try everything, before I toss a card. I have 2 Fuji cameras, the older one still had this option on the card. Now with the card, if you managed to get the pictures off, I personally would format the card in a computer that recognizes it or in the camera, depending, which one does not say, can't be formatted.Īlso check first if the card has a tiny switch on the side, that is only read or read and write, some cards have it.
#XD PICTURE CARD READER WALMART TRIAL#
That's exactly how I learned, trial and error, it would always cost too much to have a professional look at it and they usually recommend to buy new. When I tried to open the pictures on my computer, none of the pictures will open, they have the blank thumnail icons like there is supposed to be a picture, but my actual picture doesn't come up.Īny help ASAP would be appreciated, I am great at following instructions so if there is something I could do to fix it please let me know, I really want these photos on my computer! From then on, I can view all my old pictures no problem on the camera but can't take any more and can't delete any old ones. I had to just take the battery out to stop it. Until all of a sudden one day I went to take a picture and it didn't save to the memory card- the camera just acted like it was busy, flashing lights etc. I have a card reader on my laptop which works fine with other stuff and I also have the original cord to hook up camera to computer and they have both worked fine in the past. I had no problems viewing pictures or deleting pictures on the camera and had no problems transfering/saving pictures to my laptop. I recently travelled around the world and took my Olympus camera (model FE-310 if thats helpful) with it's XD card (also olympus 1gig) with me. Am so glad I found you, I really hope someone can help me!
