I have downloaded thousands of pictures over the past year. They are
organized by month and each folder contains several hundred pictures.
There is plenty of room still on my hard drive, so I don't think that
memory space is an issue (50 GB used; 93 GB free)
Today, when I was looking through the pictures, I realized that from
the most recent 4 folders, there are big sections of pictures missing.
There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. When I try to open them,
I can see their properties (i.e., 1.2 mb, date taken, etc.), but cannot
see either a preview or the actual image itself.
One thing I did notice when trying do some very basic troubleshooting
myself is that when I opened Properties and tried to look at the
summary - in pictures where I can see the image - then the general
summary is available for me. In pictures where I can no longer see the
image (though the thumbnail icon is still there with the title of the
picture and the properties, as noted above), in those pictures, I
cannot see any general summary and do not have access to edit the
general summary.
Does anybody have any ideas about what has happened to these pictures?
I have got to believe that they are still on my hard drive somewhere
(and no, sadly, I do not have these pictures backed up).
Help!!
