I drove 300 miles to spend Thanksgiving with family, took a bunch of pix on my Electrify of everyone. Came home, "organized" the new photos by creating an album name 2011 Thanksgiving and "copying" them into it. I looked at them in the new album. I went back to the "All Photos" album which seems to be where the camera stores them, and deleted the copies there.

I went back to my newly created album to look at them again, and the album was empty!!! Who would have ever thought that copying them over to a different album did not really mean that? They were gone from the Thanksgiving album and the All Photos album both. So, thanks to a crazy system, my family photos of 2011 Thanksgiving are gone for good!!!:mad:

Can anyone explain why this happened? Must I always keep ALL my photos in the one main album? And scroll and scroll thru them to find stuff? Help!
