Lost all my pics

[Tink]

I'm with Janet, and put everything on Photobucket.

How sad to lose it all!

Diana, that York Photo looks pretty good. I can use the Kodak website, but had already had the photobucket and so far haven't had a reason to change. I did put it in my favorites though, just in case.

There's also www.snapfish.com I haven't used it but I know that it's a site that a lot of people use.

This is one of the reasons I still mostly use my old trusty Canon AE1 35mm. Digital can be wonderful, I have one too, but for lasting photo's I use my Canon.
There are times I use both for the same picture!

In fact, I just dropped off two rolls of film at K-Mart to be developed. They now offer a package of 1 set of color, along with 1 set of black and white. I recently bought a roll of black and white because on one wall of my dining room I have nothing but black and white photo's of my family in many different years gone past.

So I want to add a few black and white pictures of my flowers to adjoining wall. I am so excited to see the pictures I took in both black and white and color! Black and white really changes the effect of the picture.

Tomorrow I am going kayaking with friends, bought a disposable camera to take with me and hopefully get some good pictures. Never want to take a good camera on the river, never know what happens! I am a tree magnet and have been know to get hung up on fallen branches. I know sooner or later I will tip it over, don't want to lose a good camera to the river.

I am so sorry you lost your pictures.
I have so many photo albums. I have always said if you want to know about me, look at my pictures. It tells my life story!
I would be devastated to lose my pictures.

I have some pics on Kodak, and some on Facebook, but those are only a fraction of the pics I had. I've been going over today all the digital albums I lost and keep remembering more. It's so sad...

Why did he send out your hard drive anyway? Definitely get it back, even if it takes some doing. It's really pretty hard to conceive that your pix aren't somewhere in there.

You need to find a true computer geek, like mine. I've gone through a couple of crashes, a new motherboard, and haven't lost anything.

Here's a very good back up gadget that I'm considering.

Good luck! You can retrieve them.

Thanks for everyone's responses.

So I sent my BF in the Mac store today to be the tough guy and get things taken care of. They tried to give him the run around, and tried every tactic to get him to give up but he was persistent. Then they told him that the person who worked on the computer was supposed to ask me if I wanted a file recovery. Well no one EVER called me, or asked me anything.
Now they say they've sent the hard drive off, and there is no way we are getting it back. I can tell you, I'm soo mad, my blood is boiling, this wasn't our fault, and I feel so duped. I feel like they could get it back if they wanted to, sure they may have to bust ass to hunt it down, but should I suffer cause of their screw up? I don't know what I'm going to do, but we were told they manager will call us. Should I call back everyday? I don't want to take no for an answer. What do ya'll suggest?

Dear TB,

OH NO!!! If this was me, I would be calling their corporate headquarters and finding somebody there to deal with customer service. If you don't get satisfaction, which is not really likely, you might mention a lawyer. They did not ask you if you want recovery.

I would definitely call them every single day, and call the place where they sent it.
I would track it down, and call the supervisor of that department, every day.

Where is it? Seriously, if it's only a few hours drive away, and you really want your pix, it might pay to drive over and get it back.

I'm relentless! But, I usually get what I want. Most of the people you will speak to could care less. Don't let it bother you. Keep your eye on the prize - your pictures.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. You really want your pictures. I hope you get them back.

Judy

That website I posted was not the one. Here it is. (I hope)
