Yep I have had also this problem.. and today it did it again...

BUT i was able to see my pics on the camerascreen and as soon as I connected my NX300 to my McBook Air the files went corrupted. I even tried on other PC's with a memory card slot.....

And my card works just fine... it is a SD HC Pro class 10 16Gb

I have experienced it also on other memory cards. What is the chance of having more than one corrupted card??!!

Anyone an answer in how to retrieve the corrupted files and make them work again?

I can't answer how to recover the files using a Mac. But if you have access to a Windows PC....

I've used ZAR with great success many times - but the first thing to do (if possible) is to set the card to read only (I know you can't do this with a Micro SD card - but I recommend putting it in one of those SD card holders and set it to read-only). As long as you haven't reformatted it and started reusing it for other purposes you should be able to recover most files from it. Even if reformatted, they can still be recoverred but every time you use it for something else the chances diminish.
