There is an option in both Image Capture & iPhoto to delete photos after downloading them. If that is enabled, all the photos would have been deleted on the card after being transferred to the Mac. Since the card mounts as a removable disk on your Mac, you can easily copy the photos back to the card if needed. I would suggest that he put the card back in the camera & confirm that it is still formatted to the camera & to also check to see if the images are there. If they are, the problem is on his PC's end.
