Help S3 Corrupt Photo's

[gingersamt]

Hi all,
I recently put a new 32gb SD card into my phone, and it was fine. I then put all my music from my iTunes onto my SD card using an adapter, and all still seemed fine until I took some photo's. Only a few of the new photo's that I took have remained in tact, and the rest of the new ones have been corrupted, and I can no longer see them. They are still a file on my SD card though. Anyone know if I can get them back? And if it was the music that could have put the problem there? Thanks guys!

Can you take the SD card out and view everything correctly in a PC? Media services is a database on android and if the files check out on a PC I would clear data and cache. The database catalogs your files and they will not display. You might want to clear near a down time so it can rebuild.

Clear, reboot, rebuild

I've tried looking at them on the pc, and even the ones I can see on my phone that were taken on the same day can't be viewed. But the others are fine. I just took three videos too, and two of them are fine, but one stopped playing half way through and now won't play at all

Sorry ... but in all likelyhood, they are permanently gone.

I had a similar problem with videos and SD cards in my SGS 3s (all three of them!) and once the video gets corrupted, it's gone.

I fell victim of an online service that claimed to be able to restore the video, offered a free 30-second sample of their repairs. Those looked fine, so I paid a LOT of money, sent them the full files -- and they were worthless when I got them back.

So, don't get fooled into thinking these can be restored, they can't (most likely).

Damn!! I thought it would happen, but I thought that possibly someone would have somehow found a way ti recover them. Thanks for advising me though!!!
