[QUOTE="PeteA, post: 1278033, member: 210417"] OK, so I took some photos (and a couple of videos) with my old Sony DSC T5. I really liked some of the photos and videos and had plans to use them at a later date. It wasn't until a few weeks later that I transferred the files across to my Mac (early Mac Pro) from the Sony Pro Duo card, directly from the camera via USB. I didn't return to the actual folder on my Mac for a few months, and in the meantime managed to lose the memory card. When I checked the files on my Mac I found the photos and video I liked were nowhere to be found, although a lot of my other photos were. It dawned on me that I had probably deleted them from the card using the camera's delete button in error while making space, and then taken more photos. So... my question is: is it at all possible that the deleted files got transferred from the card to my Mac along with the "visible" undeleted stuff when I copied it all across? I know deleted files still exist in some form, but can deleted files be transferred from a card to a Mac? I was wondering if a file recovery program might find them. Or, (and I suspect this to be the case) would files deleted from a camera's memory card never be available again unless you had the actual card, rather than just a copy of what was on it, in a folder on a Mac. If they're gone for good, so be it, but just thought I'd ask before putting it down to experience. [/QUOTE]
