iPhoto 2.0 warning about Erase Camera Contents
Authored by: erikzred on Jan 16, '04 10:45:57AM

I would need to doublecheck this, but my experience has been that iPhoto has only deleted the pictures that have been transferred. Although I haven't run into the "out of disk" problem, I have had other reasons for the transfer to stop in the middle and I was impressed that it only had deleted the photos that had been successfully transferred.

This problem also exists in the 1.x release of iPhoto. It seemed to occur for me when I had a mix of video clips and photos. Beware!

I have also once experienced that iPhoto failed to import because of a full HD, but still erased the card in my camera. I lost about 40 images. Didn't think to try and find them on the erased card at the time, so thanks for that hint! I now never use the ERASE FROM CAMERA option.

This utility will recover your images as long as you have not overwritten the card with new ones. "Erasing" the card doesn't delete the data.
