My memory stick is not recognised by any computer that it has been plugged into. Is there anyway to manually retrieve the information from the seemingly corrupt or broken memory stick? Keep in mind it doesn't show up at all on any of the computers, it's not recognised as a device.
 
Is this an SD or other memory card you're referring to? Technically "memory" in geek-speak refers to RAM, a component which helps electronic devices run. Anyway, there are software utilities to restore files from corrupted cards or deleted files from cards. If the card is too damaged to show up at all, it may be necessary to send it out to a data recovery lab. Those can be expensive though, so it depends on how important the files are to you.
