We're having a peculiar problem here. The girlfriend has a Canon Ixus 75 with the standard SD card that came with it. The other day one (of three) folders containing the bulk of the pictures she's taken disappeared. It was not deleted, we can still see and access it if we read the card on my laptop's card reader slot. But the camera itself doesn't see it, and her computer doesn't see that folder while she's connected via the USB cable. According to her she was in the camera's print menu just prior to the folder going AWOL. Any suggestions?
Transfer the folder to your computer, along with any other pictures you want to save. To do this use a card reader, not the camera. Then click and drag the folder onto your desktop. After you will format the card using your camera (press menu then under the setup tab [yellow colored]) - this will delete all the pictures on your card so make sure they transfered onto your computer. Take a random picture on the camera to generate a new folder. If you want to put the pictures back onto the card so you can view them with the camera (not necessary), you should put the card back into the card reader, then open the dcim folder. you will see a folder which says Canon###, copy that name and make sure it matches the name of the folder you previously copied onto your desktop. click and drag the folder back onto the memory card to replace the existing folder in there (the random picture you took will be over written, so if you liked it transfer it first). That should have covered it...i know i made this very wordy, sorry, but i'm used to explaining these things to my parents who don't even know how to turn on their camera.
