Thanks, I first tried the USB hook up and only half of the pictures where downloaded. Then I tried the SD card in the PC slot still the same thing only half of the pictures. Whats wild is that it stops at the exact place using both avenues.
File size is no problem with my HD, It seems that when it gets to a certain area on the card that's when it happens, my guess is that the card maybe bad at a certain junction point.

I heard through the grape vine that 32g and up for a T1i maybe a challenge for the camera, don't know how true that is. I have my system set to large format.

Donno. Substitution is the best solution.

I had a 32GB San Disk in my camera. I ran out of room shooting the 17 YO Grand Daughter soccer game.
After I got home I realized I had a 64GB in my Smarter-Than-Me-Phone. Swapped them and I haven't run out of room since.
Battery, yes. SD card no. :roll:

I have reformatted the SD card both in computer and PC same problem. The pictures are all in jpeg format and only half of the pictures will download if over a certain amount on the SD card. Will do a more through investigation to see where the number is that is the cut off point. Then I will check the SD card via PC to see if it has bad sectors....Camera has no problems. The 32gig is a third party card so my suspicions is that it's a 3rd party card that has no guarantees. Was hoping that it would be good with no problems. We will see....

If you shot it with a .45, it'll be fixed permanently.

There is a possibility that you have a counterfeit card.
With the card in the card reader, open My Computer, right-click on the card's icon, and click on Properties.
Note the number of Gigabytes. It should be close to the advertised size of the card.

This may not be the problem, but it's worth a look.

You didn't mention, but have you formatted the card in your camera? I'm not referring to erasing them. There's a function in your camera's menu that will allow you to format the card. I suggest doing that (it will erase everything off the card!!) then give it another try.


Yes I have reformatted the SD card, both with camera and PC, no change there.

Checked out the SD card properties it reads 31.2 gig so that isn't the problem. I even ran a defrag on card came up ok. Also did a bad sector scan came up empty on that one 2?

Can't help with that problem..the only thing is to make sure the card is formatted in camera...
Have you tried downloading directly from the camera...?
If this works, save them on your PC and then Format the card after...In camera...


Yes I downloaded from camera to pc but when a certain number of photo's have been downloaded the rest become like well there but not there....I mean I checked my camera and viewed all my pictures before I hooked up my camera, then the download starts and when it gets to that magic number on the download that is when everything starts to fall apart. Half downloaded half lost in space literally...
I will try it again except this time I will pay very close attention to when this problem occurs and at what point it occurs...The only thing I hate about doing this is that I'm wasting either clicks of the camera or losing good shots....Guess it's a catch 22 thing.

Hi SteveC

Can you say if the photos are in one file or two files on the SD card. If this is the case I'm wondering if the T1i is putting them in a second file of course this speculation on my part?


You know Richard that is a very good question to ponder. I assumed that all picts were in one file folder on card, never thought about the card putting them in another folder per say... I'll have to keep a watch out for that...Thanks Good info....
