Computer advice/ re photo files and corrupt files

[mindermummy]

Oddly some tranfered and some didnt.

When i tried to to the ones that hadnt again..it said these files were corrupt.

Can you actually open and view the corrupt photo's?

i can open the file on the computer and look at them yes.
But it SEEMED like some had transfered to the stick...and i cant see them on there.

when i tried to do them again...it said they were corrupt.

hmmm... i would try renaming the file, make sure it is transfering as a jpeg or whatever file type it is, and try again? Maybe clear off the stick and try it with just one pic until it works? Sorry not too helpful really.

i tried re namng files and it still didnt work.
I cant clear the stick as its full of other photos to go on my photo frame.
and i tried one at time..no go!!

Thats very strange. Its hard for me to help really without being there (im a take over and try many things to get it to work kinda girl)... sorry, maybe just leave them off.

oh yes that was the other thing...i thoughti will leave them off...so then tried to tranfer them onto a dics instead....as i have done many times....and it seemed like it was tranfering onto the disc, but the disc was still blank after?????!!!!!

so now just wanna clear photos off computer and cant put them onto disc or stick!!!! grrr

would that make any more sense to you????

thanks for your comments.xx

ok so the pics are on the pc still now, and opening on the pc?

but you want them all off the pc and stored on a disc (for safekeeping?) and a key, to put onto your photoframe?

And some are on the stick, but wont open or delete?

Where abouts in the country are you?

yes thats it.

Im in essex.x

Well im flumoxed (sp?)

errr... how many corrupt ones are there?

about 5

Sorry been ill and forgot to check if youd answered. Have you tried the stick in the picture frame, does it show the corrupt pictures? Or have you managed to sort it now?

no still havent sorted it...

the pics dont show up on the frame...it stops at that point, shows black and has written..may be a corrupt file.

????????

Ok i will ask my DH tonight... cause im stumped.

Right, he says its your card. Do you still have the pics on your pc? if so, format your card/stick, then try again :)

hi...do you know what i spoke to someone who knows a little about computers and they said it would of been the card too.
so i bought a new card and tried to tranfer the ones that woulnt onto new one...and it worked.

Thank god!!

thanks for your advice and will remember if it happens again!! ...although not sure how you would format your stick????

Glad you got it sorted, hope it doesnt happen again.

Just for info, to format a card/stick, go to my computer (when it is plugged in) right click on card/stick, and click format. Easier than deleting!
