Moving photos from phone to SD card

Enthusiast - Level 2

My sister, my mom and I have the same kinda phones and the same kinda SD card. When I (or my mom) 'move' photos from the phone to the card, we can still see them when we go to 'My Pictures' on the phone. They have a little 'icon' on them to show that they are on the card. Now when my sister moves them to her card, she can't see them on her phone any longer, only when she hooks up the phone to the computer. The only ones that are listed in her 'My Pictures' are the ones she didn't transfer.

 

I don't understand why. Any help? Thanks.

Thanks for posting. I can understand how frustrating this could be.  Have you tried inserting the SD card into a computer to view the photos?  Also, an alternative way to save your photos could be send it to our online album.  Click here for more info.  I hope this helps.  Thanks.

Did she try reformatting the card in the phone and starting from scratch, maybe the card is corrupt.  Mary

Copy all the info from the card to your computer before reformatting or the pictures will be lost.

If they are on the card, but not being seen by the phone, then copy them to the computer so you have them saved. Then try reformatting the card in the phone; and add the pictures back to the Pictures folder on the card. (If you really want them back on the phone). You could also try setting the camera to save directly to the card, instead of the phone, and avoid transferring them altogether.
