There are many factors that go into digital photo loss. Make sure you contact InterData Recovery Services for your Orange County Digital Photo Loss needs as timing is a factor to ensure we can get back your precious memories!. The top reasons for digital photo loss on your hard drives, media cards, etc., would include:

1. Reformatting of your Drives
People often forget that reformatting a memory card will delete all  of the files saved on it including protected photographs, images, etc. This data can only be recovered by professionals so we don't recommend reformatting

2. Overwriting Your Drives
A fairly common mistake is overwriting of photos and other images held on camera memory cards with existing and older photographs. So please make sure you have transferred your images onto your DVD, CD, PC MAC, etc before taking new pictures with your camera.

3. Damaged and Cracked Media Devices
Don't attempt to stuff too many media cards into one bag. This can cause them to get distorted, bent etc, thus making them unreadable and destroyed. Try putting your media cards in the middle of your bag with soft clothing, bubble wrap or something similar to help pad your media from direct damage.

4. Burnt media
Do not leave your media next to heaters, ovens, stoves etc. Any extreme temperatures can cause damage to your media cards resulting in your media not being able to be read. If this is the case please contact InterData Recovery Services ASAP! Time is of the essence!

5. Water Damage to your media
Maybe you have been around the swimming pool on a vacation. Have you hit the ski slopes only to find out your digital camera may have gotten wet. This can cause your portable media cards to get damaged and unreadable. Do not attempt to recover the files yourself you will only make it worse.
