Kodak Easyshare Having received a photograph via email and transferred it to my Kodak Easyshare collection, when I delete it from the desktop it is also deleted from my collection......

you can save them to computer via usb, any new photos will store to the memory card.
unaware that you can transfer between device and card as the processor probably cannot handle the data of read and write at the same time.

STOP
do not write anything to your camera's SDHC card,otherwise you willt re-write the files and permanently loose your important info.
Install this photo recovery software called Tenorshare Photo Recovery(For Windows orTenorshare Photo Recovery for Mac).

From inside the software,navigate/choose your SDHC card letter( "D", "F", "G" ... ? ) and scan the section where it says "Deleted Rrecovery" . Scan the card and Set the destination folder(folder where recovered files will be saved) somewhere on your computer.
BTW, you can get this recovery software from
http://www.any-data-recovery.com/
It will show you the file name,type,date and size of your files and thumbnails for your pictures that it found on your card.
WARNING:there will be lots of recovered files,do not set the destination folder as your DESKTOP,otherwise you'll end up having 100000 files on your desktop... = total mess :)

check device manager to check if the camera is detected properly when connected via USB, try deleting the camera device then reconnect the camera and the drivers should re-install. hopefully you should then be able to transfer images from the camera.


if this fails try using a memory card reader instead of transferring directly from the camera.

You have to delete the pictures on the camera with it's menu buttons, or you can transfer them to your computer via the usb to camera cable. I don't have a Kodak, but there should be a button to view your pictures (refer to your manual). When you view them, you will have other function buttons to delete, or lock them. Then you just run through them, deleting the ones you don't want, one at a time. To save them, hook up the camera, without the memory card, and the computer will display the pics in the internal memory. Move or delete them. Oh, if you get a memory card, that would work too, in case you don't already have one. Hope this helps.

Deletion from the camera is an option in your EasyShare software. Open the software, click on TOOLS, then CAMERAS/VIEWERS. Towards the bottom of the screen you'll see a blue bar labeled CAMERA FAVORITES ALBUM PROPERTIES. Just below that is the option ALWAYS REMOVE UNPROTECTED PICTURES FROM DEVICE AFTER TRANSFER. To retain images in the camera after you transfer them, make sure that this box is unchecked.

To transfer pics to your computer you will need to install the Kodak EasyShare software (you can download it at www.Kodak.com) and connect the camera to the computer via USB cable or a camera dock. To delete the photos press the Review button and then the Delete button. The camera will give you the option of deleting everything or a single pic.
