First - stop using the xD picture card immediately, do not take more photos or save more data on that card.
Next - use a picture recovery tool to try recovering the pics.
Lastly - hope my answer will help! Merry Christmas.
Probably not. When the card was formatted it was likely to lose absolutely everything on the card.
Was the memory card formatted or were the pictures just deleted? Us ally after a format its all history. But if you are lucky, you can take the memory card out and put in a memory card reader and hook it up to a PC. Download a photo recovery software.
A memory card will be formatted to the system you format it on. The card will only work with the system it is formatted to, you may or may not get an error when you use a system that is not formatted to. Generally, it doesn't do much but some systems require formatting. Most times it erases all data, and replaces it with formatted files
I had the memory card in my phone, i took it out and replaced it into my phone, now it says for the card to work it has to be formatted. I get the same thing when i put it into my computer. Is there anyway to get the files off without delting all my pictures and ringtones. Thanks
Because it got corrupt, or you got it wet. or if you have a cheap card you have the lock on.
Maybe. Take it into a camera shop and ask them to do a card recovery. Sometimes they can retrieve the images. Another way is to use photo recovery software. One I used before is Asoftech Photo Recovery.
Its called Momming
You should get a memory card reader.
Yes, the write protect on a secure digital memory card will still function properly, even after it has been formatted.
You will need to buy a memory card reader
You need to download and install the unformat software on your PC. Then connect the memory card you just formatted by accident and start to recovery.Note: chances are not 100% if you continue using the memory card.
You get a 2nd memory card and transfer the data.
