Hello experts,
When looking at my camera, the videos and images are still there. But I cannot get it anymore when I connect it on my computer. The images and video files are stored on my SanDisk 4GB SDHC. I'm not sure what happened but I was able to get my files before this on my Mac PC. I tried other cables and a memory card reader. But it won't recognize the card. What should I do? Can I recover my files?

SanDisk Memory Card Could Not Be Read
If that is an SD card, there could be a problem with the card itself or a much serious problem like when it reached its end of life or the end of its usability period. The lifespan of a microSD card or an SD card is the same with USB flash drive.
The life of a USB flash drive or the period of its usability depends on the number of “writes” to the drive. As you delete, copy, and move data to the USB flash drive, you are also shortening its life.
When you delete a file or folder on the USB flash drive, it causes a “write” to the drive because you are removing the data from the drive by emptying the space the file or folder occupies. This is the same when you copy data from your hard drive to the USB flash drive, it “writes” the data to the flash drive.
Moving data from another drive to the flash drive or within the flash drive is pretty much the same because it performs both deleting and copying of data. But don’t worry, USB flash drives, microSD, and SD cards have millions of writes that’s why they last for many years. If you cannot access the contents of your SD card, try checking it for errors.
Download PC Tools Performance Toolkit and install. Once installed, insert your SD card to the card reader then connect the card reader to your computer. Start PC Tools then go to “Recovery” tab and click “Repair Drives”. Select “Surface Scan” among the options then select your SD card in the drive list. Click “Start” to start checking for errors.
When it is finished, try accessing the contents of the SD card again. If this doesn’t work, the last option is to format the SD card. Your data will be lost since the storage device is no longer accessible. If the problem continues and formatting doesn’t help, just buy a new SD card to replace it.
