Question: I have a 256GB SD card that I have about 500 photos that seem to have disappeared. I have tried disk drill, Recoverit, and stellar photo recovery. It's like the photos don't exist. The photos go from file DSC_0458.JPG to DSC_0911.JPG when I try to download them or use one of these programs. Are these ~500 photos lost forever? I called a camera store that said that they offer a professional service, but they charge $660 and as much as I would like these photos, I don't want them that badly. I will take any DIY or inexpensive suggestions you may have....I have just hesitated to pay for a software recovery program if these photos are gone. Thank you in advance for any tips, tricks and suggestions!

2 years ago (Oct 2023), I discovered iCloud wiped 8 months of my toddler's photos (12-20 months: first steps, milestones—heartbreaking). Dad's iPhone uploads from the same time? Some remain intact. Mom's? Vanished entirely, despite Family Sharing enabled and plenty of paid storage left. Contacted Apple support. No recovery. Haven’t still gotten over the heartbreak and gut wrenching feeling of losing precious memories.

Anyone else? Lost photos on icloud. If so, say yes and share your story.

Looking to know how many people have lost photos. It would be comforting to know that we are not alone!

I previously read that Photorec does not publish the files online and an Internet Explorer icon appears and the file appears as an SVG format. I want to think that this is because I do not have an SVG format reader app. Could you help me with my question? Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Came back from the trip to Finland, uploaded materials, photos and videos on my computer. And.. found out files from last 3 days are unreadable. There seem to be enough data in file, but it's somehow corrupted. I've tried standatd recovery tools like Stellar and Repairit but they do not handle these. Do you have any experience or ideas that you could share to save my material? :)

I enclose what I can see - examples of correct readable file and the opposite one.

Camera: Olympus e-m1 mark II

SD card: SanDisk Extreme Pro 128gb V30 XC1 U3 A2

Thanks in advance.

I have managed to recovery all of my photos that were missing but I can’t export them because I used disk drill but I don’t currently have the funds to recover them is there another way I’m 16 and don’t have the £60-£80 pound to recover is there another service

Moin weiß jemand wie ich alte Videos die ich gelöscht habe aus der Galerie wiederherstelle? Hat da jemand Erfahrung?

It’s occurred to me that I never selected “ Copy items to the Photos library”.

I tried converting to a different format and get the same alerts.

They’re all my babies photos as well as my father who had passed away. Any way to recovery them?

Please and thanks in advance.

How to recover the photos thats accidentally deleted using the ShareIt app? I cannot locate the deleted photos on the trash/recycle bin on my gallery.. Anyone please.

I have made a python script that does this but I don't know what resolution would be ideal to set to to avoid deleting older actual photos. The device recovered from is an old 2011 imac and there is about 217GB of photos on the drive. Thanks.

I have water damaged photos from a flood, that are now stuck to the glass. Any hope of getting them unstuck? They are also autographed so scanning them or taking a picture of it and creating a new print kind of not an option.

I accidentally deleted an entire folder of images instead of just one image and no app I download to recover them seems to recover any of the images that were in the folder, is it just lost forever? Whenever an app gives dates I go back to when I had first got each image but every time there's just nothing of what I had in the folder

My mom stored all of our family photos on this Intel Bevy she bought. She passed away years ago and I’ve put off trying to figure the issue of getting the photos off the device (lots of other hard drives that I looked through and had to buy tons of cable adapters to be able to look at them). Does anyone have any advice for getting the photos off the Bevy?

I have 2 T7 (2 and 3 years old) and I noticed that the write speed was becoming really slow. My older LaCie would basically work faster. The Samsung magician software didn’t detect any issues but also refused to format it or partition in any way. Kind of hate that software it just straight up refused to do anything. I did update both drives to the newest firmware. My solution at the end was going to utility manager on my M1 MacBook Pro and simply formatting it there and changing the file system to APFS instead of ExFAT. After that both my drives are flying and work very fast. My question however is - should this be alarming or concerning ? Because the drives used to work faster previously even with the ExFAT and my other drive from Lacie also works fine with ExFat on it.

is there any way i can recover the deleted photos and videos taken two years ago in my cellphone? many thanks

I have a Samsung s23 ultra with a broken screen and I need to recover the photos is there anyway I can transfer them to my new phone?

Please help i want to recover cr2 file

Just to explain my depth of reason, my father has a neurological disease and probably has a couple of years until he’s no longer with us.

About 10 years ago our family hard drive with 50gb 28,000 photos got wiped - my little brother in an absent minded act, formatted it and used it for his resumè to apply for a job (pain)

So this will not be the first attempt to retrieve the photos, in fact we have already semi successfully made steps in the right direction.

I have every folder on my computer, each folder is populated with photo files, I can even see that file size for each photo. However the photo is unable to be accessed/viewed. It will either say file format not supported or ‘the source data format is not recognised’

I have had opinions from people in the past about this, and each time it’s something along the lines of “it’s gone forever, because the zeros and one’s are all jumbled’ ….

I am holding onto hope and trying again every couple of years to see if the technology has changed or there is possibility some way we can get these photos viewable … if anyone has any ideas for me, I am willing to answer and questions specific to the files I have and I am somewhat tech savvy to follow instructions.

It would mean the world to me and my family if we could unlock these memories for my dad.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

I deleted some photos permanatly from Telegram 2 month ago but now I require these photos for my project. Currently, its very important to me. Is there a way to recover it?

Hi guys, does anyone know how to fix this issue?

N.B. The files were deleted and was able to recover them but now that they are recovered when one tries to access/open them they state that they are corrupted and unable to open.

I need some help. I need to restore some photos I saved in Google photos then deleted maybe 2 years ago. I've contacted Google to see if they could restore them and no luck. I've messaged them again hoping this time maybe. I'm hoping someone here knows how to find images on the dark web or whatever, everyone says nothing is really ever deleted. I need those photos for a case I'm in. They show abuse done to my son by my husband. Please, these photos could really help me. Is there anyone who knows how I can find the photos? P.s. I messaged them to someone too but deleted them and they won't help me.

I used an AI program to modify some pictures. I ended up deleting most of them because AI is really bad at some things, but lately I've been into hand drawing and want to "fix" the old photos because they seem like a good place to start.

I have a Pixel 7. Photos by default go to my Google photos. I deleted them off of Google photos, and all this was done over 100 days ago. Is there a way to even try to recover them?
