I Lost My Pictures :(

by achillesculaj95 Mar 15, 2010 8:20AM PDT

Well, my mom went to Las Vegas 2 weekends ago and she took like 120 pictures there on her camera. Now her birthday was yesterday and we took like 50 or 60 more. Today, we put the card in, and only saw 7 pictures. Ones that we just took last night. WE WERE PISSED!! We're thinking a baby of ours (cousins) pressed the 'Delete All' button and deleted like 200 pics. We need them back. Is there something I can do to get those pics back? My mom will pay for those pictures So, anyway to help?? I had put the card in computer before they got deleted but didn't import them (how stupid)...Please no jokes. Can anyone help??

File Recovery

by snapshot2 Forum moderator Mar 15, 2010 8:38AM PDT

Most of your pictures are probably still on the card.

There are hundreds of programs available for recovering files.
Some are freeware, some are shareware and some are try before you buy.

Here is a list of such programs:

Just pick the one that sounds best for you and download it.
I can not recommend one because I have not needed one before.

Good Luck
