Took some great photos of Normandy, D-Day stuff, etc last weekend. Bought a new SanDisk 32 card right before leaving for the trip. It has the tiny memory card that slides into the Adapter.
Slid the Adapter into the laptop and I can get it to recognize that I took 280 shots and it gives me the outline/borders of the photos but it won't show the small photos nor will it upload.
Any ideas on how to get them from the card and into the laptop? I can see the photos on the back of the camera so I know they are 'in' the mini-card.
Thanks in advance!
Can't get photos to load into laptop from SanDisk micro-card!!

Either the software is corrupted or the computer software cannot read the (new) file format of the files in the directory.
Are these files from a new camera? If so, then your software needs to be upgraded.
BTW, what is the camera name/model and what is the software you are using?
Let me know and I will try to help.
No, we're in the UK on a wife Biz Trip. I can try her work laptop later tonight and see what happens.
BTW, based on your Signature picture, you might like a part of my Cape Cod Trip Report that I posted recently in the Tropical Section! We visited an old mill there!
1) When I stick the card into the laptop it quickly shows the normal Photos page (Win 10) with all 280 borders of the small photos but no photos actually shown. At the top it says:
SDHC ( D : ) 280 Files
When I go into my Pictures, all my folders are there and one is listed and shown as 07/04/16 but when I click to open that folder it says:
(This folder is empty)
2) Camera is fairly new and used for over 1,000 photos since I bought it in March. It's only with this new card (shown above) that nothing is being uploaded to the computer.
3) It's a Sony DSC-HX90V that has performed flawlessly since I bought it.
This is the first time that I have bought and used this micro-card. I have a great photo lab that I know can help me in Pompano when we get home. I know the photos are on the card since I can look at them on the camera's screen.
I have a very important and massive warbird Air Show that we will attend this Saturday here in the UK and I think that I'll play it safe and buy a new, old-style Memory Card.....
With that said I don't really understand using the micro card when the spec is for a conventional size card of High Speed UHS-I SDXC U3 spec or higher.
Anyway, yes, by a regular memory card.
When you get back to the US, SanDisk can get the files off the card for free if you wish or you can update whatever OS and software you are using.
For some reason, the OS application or the software you are using is corrupted or needs an update.
Good luck, enjoy the air show and let us know what the solution is.
That was my fault. I was in the hurry and grabbed one off the rack and only after I got home and cut the packet open did I realize that it was different. Assuming it was newer technology, I hopped on the plane and off we went.
I'm not a photographer so I don't know the tech stuff and mostly shoot in Auto, but I do feel that I can see a 'good shot' coming and I'm patient. Once in awhile, I get lucky with a unique photograph.
This was in on Lake Wanaka, South Island, New Zealand last March and this 1939 PBY Catalina Flying Boat came in right over the crowds to land on the lake in front of us. One of the best photos I've ever taken.......
When I get the photos off that card that I took in northern France last weekend, there are a few more 'interesting' shots that I took!
we all enjoy looking at good photos....
and as you say, a little patience and some luck, you capture the "Kodak moment"...

Used the new card yesterday at the huge warbird air show at Duxford Airfield north of London. The new card is a Delkin Black, 32GB, fast loading card and it worked perfectly.
I just pulled the 300 photos off of it and all is well. My photography skills leave a lot to be desired but part of that is that the new Sony is so small, that I keep pressing buttons on the back that I don't mean to! :banghead
I bought it in New Zealand last March when my trusty Panasonic started to crap out. On that one, when the camera is turned on, the drive gear that runs the lense out starts chattering and with the big air show still a few days ahead of me, I did not want to risk having it die altogether, so I bit the bullet and bought the new Sony. It was the only one they had that met my 'must have' items.
I just loaded all the air show photos from yesterday and edited out the bad ones, the blurry ones, the video of the grass and my feet (the 'movie' button' on the back gets banged quite often by accident!) but I did get 'lucky' with a few dozen shots!
Besides Spitfires, Mustangs, a B-17, etc, the USAF was nice enough to send an F-22 Raptor Stealth Fighter over! He flew in formation with a Mustang and then lit the place up on his own! :hairraiser I got a good one from behind as he lit the afterburners to climb away! That jet is BIG and it's LOUD! "When I saw the Raptor fly by, I nearly got tears in my eyes and now I see what some of my tax dollars are going for. We need to use these jets to keep America safe", said my New Zealand wife. I told her that I felt the same. It's a VERY impressive weapon to see up close.
Later, I was talking with some British guys that volunteer to keep a PBY (identical to the one above, only white) flying and I asked them if they liked the Raptor. "Oh yes, that was wonderful!", they said. "Well, my wife and I and all the Americans here today 'paid' for that loud roar so we're glad you enjoyed it!"
Maybe I'll post a Photo Report in this section to share the photos for those that might be interested......
Good idea and I just tried that but it asked if I wanted to Reformat something and I did not want to take the chance that I lose the photos so I'll play it safe and get my lab at home to pull them out for me......

in the USAF we had a credo..."jet noise is the sound of freedom".....
the "bone" makes more noise than a b-52 as if that was possible...
