Problems reading SD cards

I spent today doing some maintenance on my photography - making sure I
have all of my images copied off of the memory cards onto the computer &
batch renaming by Camera Type & Sequence Number ... so that IMGP5432
from the K-2 becomes K3-05432

Part of the reason for this is the default for Pentax Raw files is
"IMGP"nnnn and a couple of my cameras have rolled over past 9999 and the
K-1 numbering was reset when I had to send it in for repair after I fell
& yanked the screen off the back.

So it's K10D-1nnnn, K20D-0nnnn, K-3-0nnnn & K-1-1nnnn ... I pretty much
kept up with it WHILE I was downloading images from the camera up until
Covid (when I got lazy and sometimes wouldn't download the images for
months after I took them)

ANYWAY - The K-3 has been giving me fits downloading images today. Adobe
Bridge "get media" seems to fail after pulling down about 8 images. I'm
having the same problem directly copying from the card to the computer -
8 images & an error.

When the error comes Windoze says the DCIM folder is empty & can't even
see the card to eject it. If I just pull the card reader out & plug it
in again the sub-folders are still there in DCIM and I can go into the
sub-folder and copy images manually ... but if I select more than 8 at a
time it's going to have the same error copying.

If I just select 8 images they seem to copy fine and then I can select 8
more and they'll copy, but rarely works for a third batch of 8. Repeat
remove & reinsert & select the next 8 ...

I only had the problem with the K-3 cards - 2-32GB Sandisk Extreme SDHC
and 1-32GB Sandisk Ultra SDXC.

I'm pretty sure I only lost a single image to corruption. Sucks, but at
least it's not worse. I copied all the images over to my file server.

I don't know if it's the camera, the cards, the card reader or the
computer. I hope it's not the computer because it's Windows 7 &
Photoshop CS6 Extended (which I don't think will run on Windoze 10 &
Windoze 10 definitely would not install on this computer (I shall not
repeat my previous rant about the attempt to install Windows 10 ...)

I'll shut the Photoshop computer down tomorrow, open it up & give it a
good cleaning inside & see where we go from here.

Unlikely to be the cards if you are getting exactly the same error on all three.  My default position is to blame Adobe, which seems to have a more than 50% success rate.  For hardware problems, I would look at the card reader.

I don't think it's Adobe because I had problems just copying using
Windoze with Adobe not involved ...

I HOPE it's not the computer because I don't know how I'd transfer CS6
to a new computer.

It could be the card reader is getting old. I looked online for a new
reader, but haven't yet found one I like.

I found a bunch more files I have to rename to get my catalog in order.

Don't know if I'm going to get them done before I shut the computer down
to clean it out.

Since Win7 was working for you have you considered backing everything up
and re-installing Win7?  If all you use that computer for is photo
processing there shouldn't be a lot of software to re-install.

OTOH, if you have a computer running (or able to run) Win10, Win10 has a
compatibility mode that you can activate that allows you to run aged
games and software.

If you put the cards back in the camera can you still see all the photos in preview?

Can you use the camera as the card reader? That is, connect the camera to the computer and download from there.

Can you download to a non-Windows device, such as a phone?

Yes. The photos were all still there on the card when I looked at the
little TV screen on the back.

I finally did manage to copy them all (except for one that was
corrupted) over to the computer ... by various means.

I figured out it was pulling down approximately 8 images before the
error would occur, so I went over to Windows where I could pull up the
DCIM folder & view the sub-folders.

I made a DCIM "copy" folder on my desktop and then copied the
sub-folders one at a time. When it would error out, I'd remove the card
reader from the USB and reinsert it.

I could see which files had copied before the error, so I'd take the
next 8 files & copy them ... then the NEXT 8 until I got an error ...

At which point repeat removing & reinserting the card reader and carry
on ...

Once I had all the photos (verified I can see & open them from Bridge) I
have since reformatted the cards.

Can you use the camera as the card reader? That is, connect the camera to the computer and download from there.

I don't have the necessary equipment to do it that way so I don't know.

Can you download to a non-Windows device, such as a phone?

Ditto ...

EXCEPT I did the process I outline above on a different Windoze computer
(my game & goofing off computer) and then copied the images over to my
file server and then pulled them from the file server to the Photoshop
Computer.

Since then I've been going through ALL of my photos on the Photoshop
Computer & verifying them.

It's been 20 years plus 1 week since I got my *ist-D. The *ist-D, K10D &
K20D have all rolled over past 9999 at least once.

I'm up to 2016 so far. The only thing I've run into is there are periods
when I didn't rename the photos upon uploading ... IMGPnnnn to
istD-0nnnn; IMGPnnnn to istD-1nnnn and so on for the K10D, K20D, K-3 &
K-1 (the K-1 got the numbers reset when I had to send it in for repair,
so it's already at "K-1_1nnnn" even though it hadn't rolled over).

And I've found duplicate folders where one will have the images IMGP1234
and the other will have Kxx-01234. Takes me a while to compare the
folders and make sure there are no images I haven't duplicated in
renamed images folder.

I keep ALL of my images - good, bad & ugly - because having gaps in the
numbering confuses me and I worry I've lost images somewhere, but once I
have verified that I have all the images in both folders I will delete
the folder that doesn't have the images renamed.

Anyway, I've got less than 10 years worth of images still left to verify
... so back to work.

I'll look into both possibilities.

The hard part is going to be figuring out if I actually have the media
for Photoshop CS6 Extended and if so where did I put it when I moved?

I hope I don't have to replace the Photoshop computer. For one thing, it
has a LightScribe Blue-ray/DVD/CDROM burner & new computers you can't
even get a DVD player.

They don't even build the chassis with a bay to install one anymore.

Adobe Bridge "get media" seems to fail after pulling down about 8
images. I'm having the same problem directly copying from the card to
the computer - 8 images & an error.

When the error comes Windoze says the DCIM folder is empty & can't

If I just select 8 images they seem to copy fine and then I can select
8 more and they'll copy, but rarely works for a third batch of 8.

I only had the problem with the K-3 cards - 2-32GB Sandisk Extreme
SDHC and 1-32GB Sandisk Ultra SDXC.

I'm pretty sure I only lost a single image to corruption. Sucks, but
at least it's not worse. I copied all the images over to my file server.

I don't know if it's the camera, the cards, the card reader or the

Windoze 10 definitely would not install on this computer (I shall not

I'll shut the Photoshop computer down tomorrow, open it up & give it a
good cleaning inside & see where we go from here.

John, as you work through your sorting/naming process, one thing that I have found to be helpful:
In Lightroom Classic, you can start the Search process, then at the top choose Metadata, within metadata choose Camera. Select *ist-D or whatever, and then you can sort by date, and scroll through looking for gaps or anamolies in naming or numbering. Then repeat the process after selecting a different camera to work with.

Transfer the guts of the new machine to the case of the old.  You should be able to either plug the drive straight into the motherboard via an existing socket or use a card in one of the PCIE slots. For example:

Bookmarked that link. I may be able to find the part from Amazon in the
U.S. if I need it, but having the part bookmarked gives me the NAME to
look up.

The hard part is going to be figuring out if I actually have the media
for Photoshop CS6 Extended and if so where did I put it when I moved?

I hope I don't have to replace the Photoshop computer. For one thing, it
has a LightScribe Blue-ray/DVD/CDROM burner & new computers you can't
even get a DVD player.

They don't even build the chassis with a bay to install one anymore.

Since Win7 was working for you have you considered backing everything up
and re-installing Win7?  If all you use that computer for is photo
processing there shouldn't be a lot of software to re-install.

OTOH, if you have a computer running (or able to run) Win10, Win10 has a
compatibility mode that you can activate that allows you to run aged
games and software.

I spent today doing some maintenance on my photography - making sure I
have all of my images copied off of the memory cards onto the computer
& batch renaming by Camera Type & Sequence Number ... so that IMGP5432
from the K-2 becomes K3-05432

Part of the reason for this is the default for Pentax Raw files is
"IMGP"nnnn and a couple of my cameras have rolled over past 9999 and
the K-1 numbering was reset when I had to send it in for repair after
I fell & yanked the screen off the back.

So it's K10D-1nnnn, K20D-0nnnn, K-3-0nnnn & K-1-1nnnn ... I pretty
much kept up with it WHILE I was downloading images from the camera up
until Covid (when I got lazy and sometimes wouldn't download the
images for months after I took them)

ANYWAY - The K-3 has been giving me fits downloading images today.
Adobe Bridge "get media" seems to fail after pulling down about 8
images. I'm having the same problem directly copying from the card to
the computer - 8 images & an error.

When the error comes Windoze says the DCIM folder is empty & can't
even see the card to eject it. If I just pull the card reader out &
plug it in again the sub-folders are still there in DCIM and I can go
into the sub-folder and copy images manually ... but if I select more
than 8 at a time it's going to have the same error copying.

If I just select 8 images they seem to copy fine and then I can select
8 more and they'll copy, but rarely works for a third batch of 8.
Repeat remove & reinsert & select the next 8 ...

I only had the problem with the K-3 cards - 2-32GB Sandisk Extreme
SDHC and 1-32GB Sandisk Ultra SDXC.

I'm pretty sure I only lost a single image to corruption. Sucks, but
at least it's not worse. I copied all the images over to my file server.

I don't know if it's the camera, the cards, the card reader or the
computer. I hope it's not the computer because it's Windows 7 &
Photoshop CS6 Extended (which I don't think will run on Windoze 10 &
Windoze 10 definitely would not install on this computer (I shall not
repeat my previous rant about the attempt to install Windows 10 ...)

I'll shut the Photoshop computer down tomorrow, open it up & give it a
good cleaning inside & see where we go from here.
