i have pictures on a sd card trying to view on a tv and the tv says card empty



And do NOT do that with a card containing the only copy of these pics.
 


1. Save those pics off to some other device
2. Verify those pics are actually saved to some other drive, and visible.

3. What format for the card does your TV accept? FAT32, something else?
4. What pic type does your TV take? Probably jpg. What format are these pics? Where did they come from?
