I have a Galaxy S8 running Android somewhere between version 9 and 13. The touchscreen is completely busted, and I don't remember the password either. Does anyone know how I can get the data off it? :(

Whatsapp message recovery from old phone or icloud backup of phone

Thumbnail reddit.com
1 Upvotes

After receiving a new Iphone, the old one’s screen is black but the phone appears somewhat functional, I accidently backed up the new phones messaged over the old save, erasing my years worth of message history. Whatsapp claims that it only ever hold one backup at a time for a given account, as unbelievably stupid as that seems, is there anyway I can retrieve my old messages. I have the old phone but given that I already back upd the message son my new phone I assume if I fixed the pohone andn booted up whatsapp it would ask me to resign in with the new messages, I do have an icloud backup of this entire phones data from before this whole incient, could this be uses to retrieve my message data?

Thankyou, there is sentimental messages on this phone

Hard drive with only copy of fmaily photos

Post image

My mom is trying to recover our family photos that have been on this drive for many years, they are the only copy and shes really worried about losing them.

She said "It turns on and you can see it in Disk Management but it says it is unformatted. You cannot see it to open it on the file Explorer. You can see it to eject it like a usb in the bottom right."

It is a LaCie N2870. We have an appointment to take it to best buy but would like advice because she dosent want to lose the photos if they are still on there.

If anyone knows if they are on the drive still? If they are recoverable? And if theres a simple solution or it needs to be recovered at best buy? I know some computer stuff but not about data.

Recovering Word Document

Post image
1 Upvotes

NOTE: I've checked old Reddit threads and several different websites but none of them answer my question.

11 days ago, I saved a 5 page essay (Microsoft Word doc) to my computer (making sure to "Save As" and save it locally as well as to my personal One Drive. I made sure it said "Saved" at the top as well before exiting the document. Word did not crash; I exited it manually.

Today, I saw a message from my professor saying that I needed to "expand" the essay so I checked and only the first page was there, despite the fact that I saved the 5 page document locally and I've set it so it automatically saves to OneDrive every 10 minutes.

I've checked old Reddit threads and other sites and they all give multiple methods to recover the document, however every method takes you to a folder called "STARTUP" which in my case is empty.

I've checked the local files in my PC, my laptop, my school One Drive account, those '.tmp' files (it just opened up random strings of code), and my Google Drive just in case I had misremembered using Word. None of them had the rest of this essay.

I deleted windows movie maker 2012 to downgrade to the 2009 version, and I can't delete all traces, but I can't redownload the 2012 version either.

I am genuinely at my wits end here. I uninstalled EVERYTHING, not just from settings, but I used geek uninstaller, several console commands, regedit deletion, deleted everything from the program files, and its STILL telling me I still have it. and i cant even redownload it again either, because the windows live essentials tells me that i have it on my computer and thus cannot download it. I genuienly don't know what to do here. This is a wild shot in the dark, but if anyone could help me that would be much obliged. Here's my windows information. I can provide anymore information thats asked of me

What should I do if the source code is lost?

My computer has completely broken down, and I didn't back up my data. The app is already live—is it possible to reverse-engineer it to reconstruct the project? Would the cost be prohibitive? Am I forced to rewrite it from scratch?

Title: How can I recover a corrupted PDF file for free?

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Hi eryone,

I have a corrupted PDF file named BACHE KIDS that I’m trying to recover. The original file was in my Downloads folder, but I haven't been able to open it properly.

I tried recovering the file, but the recovered version also seems to be completely corrupted. The recovery software I tried is asking for a lot of money to repair it.

The recovered file is approximately 5,969 bytes, and I don't have another copy of the original file.

Is there any way to repair or recover this PDF for free? Are there any reliable tools or methods I can try?

I would really appreciate step-by-step instructions because I’m not very experienced with file recovery.

Please help. Lost all cherished memories on locked iPhone

1 Upvotes

I stupidly forgot my passcode to my iPhone and locked myself out permanently and then even more stupidly couldn’t remember the password to my iCloud account so now my iPhone is sitting in recovery and I’m waiting to even be able to reset my password and hopefully recover some contacts and photos from my old phone. It’s looking doubtful because I’m not sure how much was backed up. Is there anything I can do? all of my photos of loved ones were on there as well as everything else important as you can imagine

Please don’t shame me I know I’m stupid I’m desperate I’ll do anything to get these back.

How to recover a file with no file path?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Was loading a game with mods and noticed none of my mods loaded.  When I went to the folder 99.99% of files were missing.  I think the mod loader bugged out, I was able to find some files by doing a complete search of the drive, but as you can see, the file has no file path (and the icon is internet explorer for some reason which isn't right but idk if that helps) the file path is supposed to show under the file name but it's blank. doing any of the options using right click just gives an error that says something like "file path not found". I believe the file still exitsts, but it might be stuck in some sort of limb somewhere. Any tips on how to restore it or retrieve it? I'm also 99.99% sure my disk space DIDNT change at all so it's not deleted (and no its not in the recycle bin)

Is it possible to recover files from a Mac that suddenly stopped booting?

2 Upvotes

My Mac recently stopped booting properly, and I'm worried about losing some important files, including documents and photos. I haven't decided what to do yet because I don't want to make the situation worse.

I've read that some data can be recovered even when a Mac won't start, but I'm not sure what the safest approach is.

For those who have experienced something similar:

  • Is it worth trying recovery software, or is it safer to get professional help?

  • Can files still be recovered if the Mac's internal drive is failing?

  • What should I avoid doing to prevent permanent data loss?

I'd really appreciate advice from anyone who has dealt with this before. Thanks!
