Got a few files on an SD card. It has now been running for over an hour. No screen appeared which helps to see the preview files before saving appears. Just the progress bar (green) and no indication of what is happening.
Hey Jhon,
Progress bar itself indicates that the software is scanning your SD card or hard drive, once scanning will complete, it will automatically shows your corrupted or deleted photos for preview, if you want to see the preview in the middle of the process, you can stop the scan process in between. Also if your SD card have lots of images in it, software takes more time to scan.
BTW which software you have been used to recover your photos, because in JPEG Repair Software their is no scanning process occurs, might be you have commented on different section of the knowledge base.
Please let me know if you have any other issues.
Thanks
Have added 10 files to jpeg repair for testing. It looks like working, friendly interface, easy to use. But the files did not recover, show msg (important marker missing), have copy to linux, run on linux and cabum bum is fixed... Anyway thanks for an effort to create that software...
Hi Al..
If you send me one of the non repaired JPEG file, then only I can let you know the reason why our software not able to repair your files.
Thanks & Regards,

Purchased Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery to try and recover photos on a SD memory card. I do not know what has happened to the SD card. I first put the SD card into my iMac and most of the pictures were visible but when I went to download them they were bright colors and the images could hardly be seen. I then tried using my camera as the card reader and hooked it put to my PC. Same issue. Some pictures were visible but when you clicked on them they became different bright colors and some with lines.
As stated above I purchased the Photo Recovery - it ran the scan and I could see my pictures. I was so excited and thought the recovery program worked. However when they were saved to the computer I had the same results as above. Hardly any of the picture images were viewable - only lines and bright colors where pictures once were.
Would appreciate any guidance you can give me.
Thank You
I downloaded the free Steller Phoenix Photo Recovery and have been trying to get it to work most of the night.
It starts and I can see 3 different jpgs that it found on the 3.5 floppy that I'm trying to get them from but between the 3rd and 4th jpg the program stops. I get the "Program Stopped Responding" error. Don't know how to fix this and can't seem to find a place, other than here, to post my problem.
I don't think this is the right area and I don't think I'll get an answer but I thought I had nothing to lose by trying.

Hi there, I purchased the jpeg repair product to deal with a number of pictures that apparently had file errors and ended up getting the same message as Al above (Jan 16, "Important marker missing. File can't repair"). Can you advise on next steps?
Thanks!

DONNA, The thumbnail information is correct but the area where data stored is corrupted. In scan results we show preview of files using thumbnail information. Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery recovers files irrespective they are corrupted or not. Suggest you to try Stellar Phoenix JPEG Repair to repair files (only if Camera is saving files in JPEG format).
cassiereroni, We are always here to help you.
In your case, Create an image of the floppy and try recovery using image. There might be bad sectors in Floppy. In Image, there will be no bad sectors.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Jeff,
In your case, markers which are required to start the repairing process are missing. Repairing is not possible in this case. :(
