[QUOTE="Exodist, post: 1556909, member: 284358"] Sounds like your not EJECTING the device before pulling it out of the system. Just because a file shows to be on the USB stick or SD card, doesn't really mean its on it. To understand this you would have to know the basics of a File Allocation Table and file systems. So try using the Eject function and wait for the system to finish doing what it needs to do to the memory devices before pulling them out. When they disappear from Finders or off the desktop. You should be safe by then. However that said, if you are using the eject function. Ask yourself if you are prone to static discharge from your clothing or your house. The winter months can make the air dry and a good static discharge can erase or corrupt a memory stick as well. Apples with their metal cases make it easy to discharge to. [/QUOTE]
