Canon Rebel T3 Trouble

[katherinetori]

I recently took pictures at a friends wedding, but when I turned the camera back on the pictures were not showing up. The camera acknowledges that there were pictures taken because the counter skips from 1274 to 1395, but no matter what I do I cannot find the actual pictures. Is there any way to get them back? I've tried plugging it into my computer and that did not help either. I would be sick if these pictures were lost completely.

Any suggestions?

I am uncertain as to what exactly you mean.  If you open the EOS Utility, the pictures do not "show up" until it connects to your camera, and you initiate a download.  Even then, if you do not have "previews" enabled, you will not see any images.

katherin,

First off, stop using the SD card.  Don't take any additional photos on it.  If there is a problem it may write new shots on top of the wedding pictures.  If that happens they will truly be lost so stop using it.

Stop using the camera to get the photos to the computer. Use the slot on the computer or a card reader.

What brand SD card do you have?  Depending on that answer, try to find, or one may have come with the card, a recovery software.

Some are free. Some are not but this could be the only way to recover the shots if there was a problem.  At any rate it will display the wedding shots if at all possible.
