@jcnewyorker13 can you view the pictures on your camera? If so it is an incompatibility between your cards format and the computer. What files does your computer see on the SD card?

In my case, it is not a compatibility problem -- photos I've taken over the years appear in the folder on the computer but new photos taken after I've put a new battery into the camera, do not show up. They do appear in the camera.

From what I'm guessing, the SD card has been formatted in a way that the camera recognizes but the computer doesn't. If your camera has an option to transfer pictures and video without having a computer, try transferring them in that way until all the contents of the SD card are backed up and then reformat the card.

If you can't find a format that both the camera and the computer recognizes, either use a different camera for the picture/video taking or use a different computer to transfer and open the files with. What OS do you have?
