*HELP* Corrupted SD card (updated 7-3)

[ironhorse1]

OK, I finally received the SD card reader. I was very nervous mounting it to the mac. Upon doing so, there were all my pictures! No need to download software, opened up the folder and immediately saved it to the hard drive on macbook. A great way to start the day.

My question now is, what the heck happened?!?! Why aren't the files recognizable on my phone (or other devices)? What do I do with the 32gb card now to be able to use it in the phone again (or is that a bad idea).

Thanks!

A suggestion to save the SD card after you download and save your pictures.

Place your card back in another device such as a digital camera. Go to the menu and find the format feature. Have the device format the card.

This has worked for me. Some devices won't or don't have the format feature.

After this is done all the data will be gone and you will have a clean card ready to use.
