Hi all

Purchased a new 16mg memory card yesterday from pc world / currys.

No idea what am doing other than my 1500 photos from my samsung galaxy s3 have disappeared . If I had deleted them I would put my hand up first, but honestly I haven,t...

HELP HELP. Lost without these.

Somewhere on youtube stated about you can recall them back but am really stuck as where to start. My husband said I should hav asked PC world to help me out.

Any help would be great
Thanks

    The photos are on your old memory card. Put it back into the phone and download them onto your computer, then you can upload them again onto the new card when you put it into the phone.
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?

    Ok, have you put the old memory card back in the phone?
    Can you see the photos again?

    If so, great.
    Next step is to plug your phone into your computer using the cable the phone came with.
    Then use the software that came with your phone (I think Samsung call it Kies) to download the photos to your computer.

    The other way you can do it is to buy a memory card reader, plug it in to your computer, then put the old memory card in it.

    Do what?
    Insert the old card into the phone.
    Connect to a PC with USB cable as a USB external memory storage.
    Find the folder with photos and copy it to the PC.

    Thanks again. Okay here goes

    They are on there but only half. The reason for this is that from the middle of last year we stored the photos onto the actual phone and not the sim.

    Any ideas on whats next please

    many thanks again

    I think the folder with photos in the internal memory can be seen and copied/moved similarly.
