A few alternatives you can try.

Try connecting the phone to your computer using a usb cable if your phone has a usb (mini usb) port.

Or, take out the card and plonk it into an external card reader, then connect the reader to the PC.

Or try establish a bluetooth connection to your PC.

Then copy off the files from the card to your hdd and format the card IN THE PHONE.

I have found when one card reader didn't work, I tried another successfully. Do you have a friend with a card reader you can try it on?

What is the make and model of your card reader?

**EDIT**

You could also email the photos

Why not just put the card BACK into the phone and use its features to delete the pic's?

Have you tried that already and it won't let you?

I'm asking because I had an old Motorola phone and you could only delete files from its SD card using the phone. When the phone formatted the card, it did something to prevent files from being deleted using a card reader.

I don't think he wants to delete them. I believe he needs the pictures transferred to a pc.

I understand. But have you tried a card reader on another system?

And please state the make and model of your current card reader.

 

[Core7]

Uhm no I have not tested it on another PC but i will tonight. And the make is Multi -card reader SDHC support its a cheap one LOL bought it at a china chop but it worked every time and other memory cards does work

 

[Lemur]

Okay, please get back and let us know if it reads on the other system.

Same story with my other Pc

 

[Lemur]

Argh. I'd love for you to format the card on the pc, but of course that will delete your pix. Can you transfer pix via cable? Can you email pix? Once the pictures are off, format card on pc, take a test pic, and see if it can be viewed on the card reader.

 

[Core7]

I cant get my pix of anyhow tried any possible way...just thought there was some kind off a bypassing it

 

[deadmanwalking]

Did you use the same card reader and just plug it into another PC?

 

[deadmanwalking]

if you put your card back into your phone can you access your pictures that way? i mean can you go into picture folder on your phone and access your pictures?
