jpeg photos are messed up

Are these coming out of the camera like this? Have you tried viewing them on another computer?

Can you attach one of your files to a post so we can see what it looks like? (Use the Paperclip icon in the post reply screen and browse your computer that way for a file to attach if you're willing to do so)

If you right click on the file and click on Properties, what does it say the file size is?

Also, what operating system is your computer?

 

So, just to be clear, you have tried uploading these photos to two different computers with the same result? (So you can open .jpg files from other sources okay on these computers?) That most likely means you have a bad SD card. That's the first thing I would try to change.

What method did you use to upload them? Did you take the card out and use a card reader or SD slot in your computer? Did you use a USB cord attached to your camera? If you used a USB, try switching cords. If you used a card reader, try another method.


As far as repairing your images, it sounds like you've tried repair software. Maybe someone else will pop in who has some ideas on that. I briefly looked up the issue and didn't see many promising things. If this is your issue, this is the only thing I found that gave some info:

The tool the guy uses: http://www.impulseadventure.com/photo/fix-corrupt-jpeg-photo.html (no idea if it would work or not)

 

Ouch. That's rough. I've had a bad card where I lost a bunch of photos from a shoot, but nothing to that extent.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I hope you've bought a new SD card.
