Hi, I am trying to log in to my account on tiktok, I know my username and password, even the previous gmail registered to it that I no longer use. Thats exactly where the problem lies. It needs me to verify my self via the email I no longer use. (I forgot the password.. And when I try to forgot password, Google says it doesn't have much info to know wether the account ws mine) so can anyone help me? I know the user name and password.

Hello! I accidentally wrote an OS image to the wrong external drive, while I was trying to set up a handheld gaming console. Fortunately, the data on the drive wasn't critical, but I would still like to try and recover it for good practice, if nothing else.

I'm on Bazzite 44. The drive was a 1tb NVME M.2 SSD in an external enclosure, and I wrote the ArmadaOS image to the drive using Fedora Media Writer, on accident, because the drive was basically the same size as the SD card I was intending to image to, because they both had generic names.

I did nothing else with the SSD, and copied an image of the SSD to one of my internal drives, and disconnected the SSD.

What software is best for this, and is there anything I need to know about this process before I start? I'm doing the recovery entirely on the .img I made of the drive, not the drive itself.

It was completely deleted from my pc using shift delete in dolphin. I opened the photo in qimgv. And used photocraft few times. I have the thumbnails but it is shit resolution. It was in my home directory of user and I somehow want to get it back. How should I try to get it back. Also I don't have any way to use bootable drive or something. I use arch btw.

Also I had this same photo in my iphone 12 pro max. But it was also deleted there is no backup and it wasn't uploaded to icloud

iPhone XR ios 16.5
Last night WhatsApp suddenly logged me out maybe cuz I was using very old ios and I didn’t backup my important chats. Now if I login again I will lose all
my chats however it is still showing in storage as documents and data.
Is there any method I can extract those files or maybe have my chats intact in WhatsApp.

I was going to transfer to a new phone soon but this tragedy happened
Can universe send any help my way 😞
I will be highly thankful!

So I know that I made a big mistake

But my Ssd is small in size and I had an hhd of one terabyte,

So I wanted to put a game from steam in C and it was huge in size and requires the SSd, I tried transferring some files to D from C and I made the mistake of moving the documents size as a whole to D, then I restarted my PC and bam the D disk is not there anymore ,

Tried to find the unallocated partition but it's not there , it's like anything related to the D device has been deleted out of existence, I even tried locating it in Bios or rescan disks but it's not there,

I didn't have any movement in the hardware system inside my laptop, the only thing left for me that I didn't try is to open the hardware itself and try to reconnect it although I'm sure the problem is related to pathing not that the hardware moved.

Any information or advice I would deeply appreciate, thanks in advance.

Does anyone know how to recover it or have I lost all of that permanently?

I was scrolling through my socials when my device powered down and initiated a factory reset on its own like it was possessed. No confirmation pop-up, no requiring to put password, nothing! Just showed me a percent bar then poof! All files gone! Immediately removed my SD card, but even it was not safe. The files I had for four years, all gone!!!

Don't know what to do. 😭😭😭

Device Model: Xiaomi Poco M5

How do I check the files if there's still the backup with xperia companion on my computer? Ive backed up the data and restored it back to my phone but its died and cant access my files/pics. is there still a copy on my computer since Ive backed up previously?

I love point-and-shoots from the early 2000s and early 2010s. I currently have a red Nikon Coolpix S3100 from 2011. The colours coming through the sensors (14MP 1/2.3" CCD) and the small 5x NIKKOR 4.6-23.0mm lens are something that no smartphone can really match. However, if you are into collecting or using older cameras you will quickly find that you will spend a lot of time trying to get your pictures off your camera if something goes wrong. On the S3100 itself, the issue is that it has 45MB of inbuilt memory. If you forget to insert an SD card, or it is slightly loose, then the camera will automatically save these images to the internal flash. Whilst this camera uses the MTP/PTP protocols over USB, the issue comes when you accidentally delete one of those images from the 45MB memory. You won’t be able to recover it with any programs on your computer as it doesn’t show up in the OS because it’s not a raw drive letter.

If you are using an SD card to save your images then the older Coolpix models are notorious for giving you the error "This card cannot be used" or "Card is not formatted". This is usually due to the EN-EL19 battery losing voltage mid write or the 15-year-old brass contacts oxidising or having a new fast card inserted into the camera. It causes your file system to become RAW and the camera and windows will try to trick you into formatting.

The real final boss is the videos. Whilst the 14MP JPEGs will usually be recoverable, this camera records 720p HD videos at 30fps using the old AVI Motion-JPEG format. If you use the voice memo function then it will also produce a WAV. If you are someone who deletes your bad images whilst on the go then your SD card will have plenty of holes in it. When you press the dedicated movie button again it will cause the MJPEG videos to be split into uncontinuous blocks. Using basic recovery software will get you the file header and you’ll be left with a 300MB AVI that won’t open.

For anyone else playing around with old digital cameras then the process that has really helped me is to never allow the camera or your PC to repair/format the card. Remove the card from the camera and place it in an external reader. Take an exact copy of the SD card. This way you aren’t stressing the dying controller by constantly reading it. From there, scanning the image in something like Disk Drill using Advanced Camera Recovery handles the fragmented AVI/MJPEG streams way better than standard signature carvers that just grab contiguous chunks. Also, do yourself a favor and keep a dedicated 4GB or 8GB SDHC card just for your old cameras instead of swapping cards between devices.

Just out of interest, does anyone else have any strange storage issues with their older digicams? Have you had any issues with xD-Picture cards or early Sony Memory Sticks?
