Ok well I put my SD card in my tablet and its kinda hard to get it out with out something to pop it up with, Well my husband was trying to take it out last night for me I was transferring files off it to my new tablet, its my phones SD card. Well when he got it out there was some damage to the top on the back side. Well when I put it back in my phone I was getting a message saying that I had to format it for it to work on my phone. Mind you I've had it in this phone since October but in the phone before that for about 3 years and never any problems. Well now my phone my husbands phone and my tablet will not even recognize there's one in place.
So here's my question is there anyway on earth that I can get my pictures off it, I've got 3+ years of irreplaceable photos stored. SO PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP ME.....

Hey there titze_76.

That truly sounds very unfortunate. :(
If it's not badly damaged, you might have a chance of recovering something. I don't want to get your hopes too high, but you have nothing to lose and it's worth the try. So I'd suggest that you try accessing it via Linux Live CD/USB to see if it's properly recognized or try some of the data recovery programs from this thread: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-1644496/lost-data-recovery.html
You could always go for a professional solution such as a data recovery company.

Good luck!
