I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 running 4.1.2 - I have all of my photos and videos set to save to SD card. I recently was moving photo and video files around (a little re-organizing) from within the photo gallery on my phone. I created new folders and moved files from their existing locations to the new folders. Battery went dead after moving the files (another issue entirely!!). When I powered the phone back on I seemed to have lost most of my files!!!! My phone was then saying that the SD card was damaged and could not be read. After much fussing about (and freaking out!!) and transferring the SD card from the phone to the computer and back again I seem to have recovered most of the photos to my computer. However, I am missing quite a few videos that I cannot find. I ran a recovery program that helped with the photos, but still no videos. I cannot find them within the internal data on the phone or on the SD card.
Where could the videos have gone?! Would moving the files from within the gallery cause problems with the SD card memory? Why would the phone randomly say that the SD card was damaged? My phone seems to be reading the SD card fine now - except that majority of the photos still are not showing up in the phone's gallery but only on the computer. Why am I able to recover photos but not videos??
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Also, majority of the videos that I have lost were NOT moved in the file re-organization that seems somehow to be my downfall....
