Lost pictures

[pooh58]

I have a Samsung Note 3. For some reasons my phone stopped saving my photos on my sd card. I fixed that but had 164 pictures that I wanted to transfer to the sd card. I transferred them to the dcim file instead of the camera file and all the photos show up as an x. The name is still there as a jpeg, but when I click on it, it is just an x. I transfered them to the phone file and the same thing, just shows an x. Any help would be appreciated, they are from my 3 year olds birthday party.

Welcome to Android Central! SD cards can get corrupt, seemingly more often in Samsung devices. Did you use the Move option or the Copy option when moving those pics? It's often a good idea to use the Copy option, which leaves the original files alone, just in case something happens during the operation.

Unmount the card (in Settings>Storage), remove it, and insert it into your computer. Can you see the photos using Windows Explorer? If so, backup the photos immediately to your hard drive. If you can't see them, run chkdsk to check for bad sectors. http://forums.androidcentral.com/am...guide-using-chkdsk-fix-corrupted-sd-card.html
