Hi Stephen,

It might be possible that your hard drive doesn't respond to the software.
I suggest you to create image of your hard drive with the help of photo recovery software. After creating image you can easily recover you JPEG files.

How to create image of my hard drive using photo recovery software?
You can Read Page No 20 - 21 to create image of your hard drive from the following pdf link: https://www.stellarinfo.com/installation-guide/photo-recovery-win/photo-recovery-win-manual.pdf

Thanks

I'm checking out PhotoRecover (and a couple of other apps that recover data). Stellar has been running for nearly 24 hours looking for .jpeg files, and seems to be doing a great job, as have a couple of other programs. The problem is, each app finds somewhere in the range of 192,000 .jpeg files, and I'm looking for one specific photo.

I'll be 70 next month, and probably won't live long enough to go through that many images. What I'd like to see (and haven't found yet) is an app that will let me select a date range (I know within a month when the one I'm looking for was processed) so that I can narrow my search to something a little more practical.

Hi,

I just bought the Stellar Photo Recovery 4.0.

After the software finished scanning the SD card, i can preview the partial jpeg photo. Then click the Recovery button.

But when the software finishes the recovery stage, i can only see like 1 quarter of the recovered photo. The rest of the photo is greyed out.

How do i recover the complete photo?

Please help.

Dear Mickey Davis,

Stellar Windows Data Recovery can provide you the functionality to select date range if you are a Windows user. You need to download and install this software by visiting https://www.stellarinfo.com/windows-data-recovery.php

Once the software completes scanning process, You need to click on button located at the top right corner, just after 'Search File' text box ( see in the image located at the url: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzVWL7Ri4Y_ESUtwN2RhMjdFRWM ). A popup window will open to ask you 'find files', Click on 'Advanced' option and tick right the 'Date' Check box where you could narrow your search by defining nearby date. After this, enter the desired file type (s) which will be .jpg in your case like this *.jpg in the text box area located at the top of the find files window.

Alternatively, The same option can be found on MAC Data Recovery if you are a Mac user (Download it from here : https://www.stellarinfo.com/mac-data-recovery.htm)
at home screen > preferences > Filters (See in the image: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzVWL7Ri4Y_ERUJwR05YaVFmSGM).

Stellar Photo Recovery Software doesn't have select date range feature.

Thanks,

Dear Faye Ford,

The recovered photos might have damaged or corrupted, common reasons could be malware infected your photos or gone corrupted while calling it from the Master boot records. If you need them at anyhow, try repairing them using Stellar Repair for Photo if your photos is in JPEG format:

https://www.stellarinfo.com/jpeg-repair.php

See if it can repair the damaged photos. You can have preview of repairable pictures in the preview pane.

Note: Stellar Photo Recovery software only recover the deleted photos, videos. It does not repair any kind of corruption if exist in images or in videos.

Thanks

Hi Greg,

Please uninstall and reinstall it back again and see if the software starts normally this time. The software may crashes due to virus/trojan infected PC or the system has corrupted registries.

If the problem still persists, even after reinstallation, I'd recommend you to install applications to any other computer and attach the problem drive as a secondary device using USB/SATA/IDE cable.

Good Luck in advance!!

I recovered my photos and I could see them as they were being scanned but after I saved them, I could not open them. The message is "JPEG marker segment is too short( the file may be truncated or incomplete)

Patti

Hi Patti,

Stellar Photo recovery software built to recover deleted photos irrespective of the condition whether it's in corrupted state or are in good condition. Though if your photos seems to be inaccessible after recovery please try to repair those using any photo repair tool. In case of JPEG files you can try Stellar Repair for Photo software to repair it.

Thanks

We had previously scanned the hard drive using your free JPEG repair program. We purchased the combination JPEG repair/Photo Recovery software - but now it is forcing me to scan the hard drive again. Is there any way to simply use the JPEG repair portion? I already have the files extracted from the hard drive.

Erik

Hi Erik,

To repair photos, simply click on the ‘Add Files’ button located at the home screen of JPEG Repair program. Navigate to the location where recovered files are saved and choose any or all of them to repair instantly. For your reference, please visit the link mentioned below (screenshot included):

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzSg37PI1ffTMVZVSjZzVVpVNVE/edit?usp=sharing

P.S. Make sure that you’ve already activated the program to save the repaired media files.

JPEG Repair won’t require you to scan the storage media, instead it simply asks for location where damaged photos are located. While in photo recovery program, you can opt for option ‘save scan information’ to save the scanning information and use it to perform recovery later or in convenient time.

Hope it helps!!

Hi,
I did a scan using the trial version and it turned up all of the files i was looking for, then when i tried to save the scan the program froze and i had to close it down. I registered the program and it is no longer showing the video files can you help?

Thanks,
Brendan.

Dear Brendan,

We do apologize for the inconvenience.

It would be better if you could answer the following, so we could assist you better:

1) On Which OS you're performing the scanning procedure?
2) What is the known size of your hard drive?
3) On which location you're trying to save the scan information?

For the time being, I'd recommend you to do the following and see if the issue is resolved:

1) Seek for an external hard drive and plug it on your computer. Try to save the scan information on the external hard drive instead of local storage device. By default, program won’t allow you to save the scan information on same location from where files has been deleted.
2) If the hard drive size is big, try to scan hard drive for low range using the advanced scan option 'select range' option.

Note: Avoid using the problem hard drive for saving files or installing applications. Don't even leave your system in running state as It may overwrite the deleted files and make it permanently non recoverable.

If that didn't addresses your issue, I'd glad to help you further on this.

Looking forward your progress!!

Thanks,
Amit

Hi.

I just purchased your Stellar Photo Recovery for Mac users for $39.00. I have run the program and are only receiving partially recovered photos. Please help !!

Thanks
Karen

Karen

Hi karen,

Since, the mentioned software is a recovery program, it has located your deleted files and showing you the preview. Now, the reason for partially recovered photos is due to file corruption that occurred after deletion of the images. At times, it happens the deleted files are overwritten by some new files which causes immediate corruption and hence photos are recovered partially.

We suggest you run our Stellar JPEG repair software for Mac & upload distorted images for repair. Here goes the link: https://www.stellarinfo.com/mac-software/jpeg-repair-mac.php

If you need any help regarding the JPEG software, then do let us know.

I am trying to recover a video file from Photo Booth on my Macbook. I am under Advanced Scan and am selecting the range. I don't know in what range to scan for the file. The maximum is 974,xxx,xxx, and it is taking too long to scan through all of those sectors. Which section do you suggest I scan?

gravatar

Chanel

Hi Chanel,

Hope you are Well!!

If you are unaware of the drive range then we recommend you to run full scan of the media. Though it will take time but it will preview & recover all deleted or formmated photos from PhotoBooth application. You may also put filter to scan only for images. This will save time but software will run scan for only images, excluding audio-video files.

Hope this helps!!

Do let us know for further assistance.

Regards
Stellar Team

Hello Bill,

You can choose your required specific file types by checking the check boxes of file names.after selecting Advance Setting of Stellar Photo Recovery Software. This will certainly minimize the scan time and help to recover your photos quickly. Alternatively, you can also select a specific range in the Advance Option dialogue box.

I have completed scan for deleted photos and the results show all files recovered but they are all checked for recovery. I do not want recover all of the files is there a simple way of having the files unchecked so I can check the ones I want to recover. I do not want to have to uncheck each file one by one because I have thousands,
