If your media files are stored in the SD card of your Android phone, then Stellar Photo Recovery can retrieve them. However, if the photos and videos are stored in the internal memory of an Android phone, then Stellar Photo Recovery cannot recover them.

For retrieving photos from the internal memory of an Android phone, use professional Android data recovery software.

The error is displayed mostly when the SD card is in a 'locked' position. Check to see whether your memory card is in the unlocked position. Flick the right switch on your memory card, and you can 'lock' or 'unlock' your memory card. If the card is already unlocked, there might be a corruption issue. In such cases, use professional Mac photo recovery software like Stellar Photo Recovery for Mac.

You can get deleted music files back from the SD card using Stellar Photo Recovery software. Simply install and run the software on your system. The software will scan the connected SD Card and recover the lost or deleted music files in your desired location.

This kind of issue usually gets corrected by formatting the card in the camera. However, sometimes, the reason may also be camera and card incompatibility. In that case, update your gear with the latest firmware. If the issue is still there, run Stellar Photo Recovery Mac software to recover your images.

You can create an image of an entire or selected range of the hard drive or card and save it to recover photos, videos, and audio files later. Follow the below steps to Create an Image of the drive:

  • Run the Stellar Photo Recovery software.
  • From the side panel, select the ‘Create Image’ option.
  • In the Create Image screen, select the drive/ partition for which you want to create an image.
  • To create an image of the entire drive or partition, click the ‘Create’ button.
  • To create an image of the selected region, click ‘Select Disk Segment’. Then select the Range to Create Image. Click ‘Apply’.
  • Specify a location for saving the image file in the Creating Media Image to Save dialog box. Click ‘Save’.
  • Image creation process will begin; once completed, you can see the newly created image.

To recover pictures from the Image file, perform the below steps:

  • On the home screen of Stellar Photo Recovery, select ‘Recover from Image’ option at the side panel.
  • Choose the disk image from which you want to recover photos and click ‘Scan’ to start the recovery.
  • Once the scanning completes, you can see the list of file and folder.

  • Select the desired saved scan file you want to resume for recovery. Click the ‘Resume’ button
  • Once the scanning completes, click ‘Recover’ to choose the desired image you want.
  • Browse the location to save the recovered files. Click ‘Save’.

No. You must save the image of the drive at another location, as saving the image file on the same media leads to overwriting and permanent data loss.

Yes. Do not remove your SD card during the scan or recovery process. Detach your card or other media only after the recovery process is 100% complete.

The latest Stellar Photo Recovery supports all known and unknown multimedia file types. The software supports the recovery of lost or deleted raster images, vector files, MXF movies, HD-MOV, Adobe EPS, and RAW file formats of cameras. You can even add new file types if your required media file type is not in the predefined list of supported formats.
