Hello...

I'm hoping that someone out there has had experience with my issues.... I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 that has a ton of pictures on a Micro SD card... I am getting a new phone tomorrow and the girl attempted to copy over all pictures to my card... It was working. The next thing that I know is that the phone said that my card was unexpectedly removed. Now the phone nor my computer will read the card. Has anyone been successful retrieving pictures off of a Micro SD card like this???

I have a Galaxy Note 3 and one day it stopped reading my 8gb mSD card. It said to format it and I did, but it still wasn't able to read it. I just ended up throwing it out, since I wasn't really using it anyway. I have heard there are data recovery programs that you can download that might be able to read it. Sorry not to be of much help.

Load it to another card Reader and try the Reader on computer again? As to your Micro SD card data, you may need some memory card data recovery software to take chances.
Next time, never try to save all important data on only one memory card again.
Also use your phone or camera memory card properly and rightly.
