How To Resolve “Memory Card Error” from Canon IXUS 130

Canon IXUS 130 is a sophisticated digital camera that has a resolution of 14.1 megapixels. The camera is inbuilt with almost all advanced features, including fully wide-angle 4x zoom lens and motion blur technology. The IXUS camera is compatible with SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) and SDXC (Secure Digital Extreme Capacity) memory cards, with storage capacity as high as 2TB. Since the storage memory of the cards is huge, data loss from these cards is simultaneously huge. One of the main reasons for data loss from memory cards is corruption of these cards. In most cases, you receive an error message after your card gets corrupted.
However, an updated backup allows you to overcome memory card corruption. It allows you to restore data. But in case of unavailability of backup, your Image recovery software to recover data from a corrupted memory card.

As a practical case, you view the below error message on Canon IXUS 130 while attempting to view some previously stored photos on your SDHC memory card:

“Memory Card Error”

Every single photo saved in the memory card becomes inaccessible after the above error message appears. In addition, no more photo can be saved on the memory card. In short, the card can not be read or written upon.

Cause:

The above error message that makes all the photos inaccessible is primarily caused due to corruption of memory card. Few reasons that are accountable for the above error message are virus infection, interrupted read/write operation, and human errors.

Resolution:

The resolution for the above error message is formatting of memory card in the camera itself. The process deletes all the previously saved data and allows you to save new data. While formatting proves a good resolution for users who do not require the old data, it becomes fatal for users, like photographers, detective agents, etc, who save critical data in their memory card. However, recovering formatted data now-a-days is an easy process. To do so, you need to use an advanced third-party Image Recovery Software . A Image Recovery tool is readily available on the Internet by just one single click.

Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery is high-end recovery application that recoups data from almost all formatted cards, SDHC, XD, and MMC. The read-only Image Recovery tool also allows you to restore data at defined location. The software works on both Mac OS X and Windows OS.

Videos Can Not Be Found After Memory Card Error Messages

Digital cameras or camcorders allow you to electronically capture or record your beautiful memories in the form of videos or pictures. These digital devices use different kinds of memory cards (SD, MMC, SDHC, etc.) to store these multimedia files.

While the data stored in these digital storage media is secure, corruption can occur due to various factors like, interrupted read-write process, virus hits, or file system damage. A major hazard that a photographer encounters after card corruption is inaccessibility of data. To nullify such issues, a photographer should always maintain an updated backup. But, not all the photographers create a regular backup. For them, an advanced third-party Video Recovery Software acts as a boon.

Below are few common error messages that pop up when the card gets corrupted:

Card error
A Media Card has been inserted that contains errors
Card has wrong format

Display of any of the above error message on the screen of your digital camera or camcorder means that your card has been corrupted. Additionally, the files stored in the memory become inaccessible, as the digital camera fails to read the data after any of the above error message.

Resolution:

Corruption in memory can either happen due to logical or physical reasons. For recovery of data from a physically damaged cards, you will need to send the physically damaged card to a reputed Data Recovery organization that has good experience in recovering data from a physically damaged memory card.

For logically corrupted memory card, you will need to format the memory card using the camera. Formatting a card primarily results in deleting the data stored on your memory. To recover the lost data after formatting, you will need to search for a powerful third-party Video Recovery utility. Such tools are specifically designed to salvage data by using high-end scanning algorithms. These Video Recovery utilities can be used by any user, as they do not require any technical knowledge.

Stellar Data Recovery Inc. is one of the biggest brands in providing effective data recovery services. The experts at Stellar use latest tools to recover maximum data from a corrupt memory. The company has also developed a powerful application for recovering data after logical crash scenarios.

Photos lost due to pulling out the memory card


Photos give us a way of traveling back in time. Digital cameras and memory cards go hand-in-hand to capture all those beautiful moments. It is heart-wrenching to even think of anything going wrong with photographs. However, there are times when things go wrong with the camera, the memory card gets affected, and multimedia files stored on it get lost or deleted. One should never trust technology blindly. A back-up of all the pictures is vital. This is done just as a precaution, in case something can go drastically wrong with your photos. However, even when no back-up is available, you can always turn to an Image Recovery Software to safely recover all those lost files.
For example, imagine a girl who has just bought a new camera for her prom night. She has some of the most memorable moments of her life captured on camera. The memory card in use gets full, therefore she changes the card. Later at home, while trying to upload the pictures, she receives an error message which does not allow her to even view the photos, let alone upload them.
The reason behind the inaccessibility of her photos is that she interrupted the read-write process used by the camera to write pictures to the memory card. The card was pulled out while the camera was on. This corrupts the card and thus does not allow the girl to even view the data thereon.
Understanding the way a card and the camera interact, helps us recoup data to it's original destination. The camera data is saved on the memory card in the file system. When we say a card is corrupt, it is actually this file system that gets damaged or corrupted
Thus the solution to the problem is simple—set up a new file system. To do so, one only needs to format the card. It is recommended that this step be done in the camera itself. Formatting the card, deletes the old file system and sets up a new one in its place. During this process all the data also gets deleted. This data can only be recovered using an Image Recovery Software . These are tools that can perform Image Recovery from all kinds of storage devices. They simply need to be downloaded onto the computer and then run while the memory card (or any other storage media) is connected to the computer.
Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery  is one such tool that is easy to use and still powerful enough to recover all your data safely and efficiently. It performs Image Recovery from all kinds of storage devices; memory cards, external hard drives, USB drives, memory sticks, etc. It supports almost all the latest file formats, such as, JPEG, GIF, RAW, TIFF, AVI, MOV, WMV, ASF, etc.

Recover Images from Formatted CF Cards


First specified and produced by SanDisk in 1994, CompactFlash card is a mass storage medium used in portable electronic devices. CF cards are divided into two: Type I (3.3 mm thick), and Type II (5 mm thick). They find popular utility as storage media in digital cameras.
Using, for storage, flash memory in a standardized enclosure, CF cards are non-volatile and solid-state, and therefore are more robust than disk drives. They consume around 5% of the power required by small disk drives, and still have reasonable transfer rates of over 45 mb/s for the more expensive 'high speed' cards.
In spite of the fact that they are protected by built-in dynamic defect management and error correction technologies, CompactFlash cards can easily get mishandled, data in them maltreated, or some accidental keystrokes or clicks of the mouse to make some fateful error causing data loss. Luckily, data lost or deleted from these cards can be recovered using digital image recovery software.

Suppose, you have formatted your CF card which contains images, accidentally or mindfully. Latter you find that you cannot afford to lose those images, because they are of great importance to you. But you are helpless, for they are gone and lost, no matter how important and irreplaceable they are.

How to Recover Images from Formatted Hard Disk Drive



The hard disk drive (aka hard disk, hard drive or HDD) is the main storage media of a computer. This non-volatile storage device stores digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating platters with magnetic surfaces. Users usually divide their hard drives into logical partitions, and if they need to format a partition, they have to transfer the data stored in this partition to another drive. This will protect the data from loss due to drive formatting.
But, if one of your partitions is corrupt due to certain logical errors, and hence you cannot access it with several important data including your marriage album. Now, you are hopeless as well as helpless, because you know there is nothing you can do except only reformatting the partition to make it usable again, which will right away delete all the invisible images of the safety of which you will bet anything. What will you do? Real headache!
Luckily, there is one thing you can turn to at your disposal. Run a data backup process. This simple but useful built-in facility available in every computer may successfully recover your images. However, it must be borne in mind that no data should be written on the reformatted partition before you have run data backup process and recover your images . Otherwise, there are great chances of the hitherto invisible data's getting overwritten.
Have you found the solution now? No? In fact, there are instances when this ready-made facility of data backup cannot serve the purpose. Then will you have to accept that your images are lost for ever? No! Not at all! You are always on the possible side, if you are really serious about your images. Use certain specifically developed image recovery software . Image recovery applications are embedded with highly advanced methods and algorithms to provide comprehensive image recovery software solutions needed at the time.
