How can I recover photos that have become corrupt

Hi guys, having some trouble with old photos on my pc (windows 7), any help would be much appreciated.
I have some old holiday photos on my pc in a specific folder . I had downloaded a password protection application and had set it up so that i had to use a password to access just that specific folder. I stupidly deleted this password application without
having "un-linked" it from this folder.
This allowed me to access this folder with the pictures in it without the password, however i am no longer able to view any of the photos. They have all changed from a 'JPEG' to a couple of the following types of files : 'TI File',    ')4( File',
         ')(EFile'    'ZUR_ELPRRC_ File',   'DME File'. 
I cannot open any of these files with any type of application on my pc (I think). It will not let me preview in windows photo viewer and states that the file "cannot open because its either deleted , or its in a location that isnt available".
I also cannot delete the files as it states that the file' is no longer in the specific location, and to verify its location and try again".
I have also right clicked on the files and selected restore previous versions, which there were none. 
If I try open the file with a windows picture view it states that the' file is not found'.
Any idea on how i may be able to recover these files? Any help will be much appreciated!:)
Thanks Heaps

When you password-protected these folders then you did so to prevent anyone from accessing the pictures unless he had the correct password, even if he deleted the password application itself. Are you now asking how to get around this protection? If you
selected a robust protection scheme then you probably got what you wanted: uncrackable encryption. You need to check the FAQs of this application and/or google for clues. Alternatively you could restore your files from your external backup medium (if you have
one . . .).

    If photos were synced from your computer then they can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need to remove/de-select them from where you synced it from on your computer and re-sync.

  • How can I recover photos that were deleted accidentally?

    I am using iPhoto 6.0.6
    I accidentally deleted a folder of photos in iPhoto and then emptied the trash from within the program. Is there any way to recover these files? I have not emptied the trash from finder, but I have closed iPhoto.
    Is there any possible way to recover these files, either using an option from within OS X or a 3rd party solution?

    Don't you have a backup of your library you can recover those photos from? The Finder trash is not connected to iPhoto's trash bin. If you emptied iPhoto's trash then the photos have been deleted from the hard drive. You can run the of SubrosaSoft FileSalvage in it's demo mode to see if it can find and recover those photos before you purchase it. Others have had success in recovering photos as long as there hasn't been a lot of new files added to the HD that might overwrite those files.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • How can I find photos that have disappeared in i-photo?

    A lot of my photos in i-photo have disappeared, I found them in picasa where I don't want them..How can I get them back to i-photo?
    Can somebody help me?
    Kinni44

    With that amount of information, no.
    Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.

  • How can i retreive photos that have disappeared in bridge?

    i just started using bridge. yesterday i filled it with photos from my photos file.  i stacked the photos to concentrate and make it easier to find the one i want. 
    today i opened the bridge program and all of the photos have disappeared.  how can i get them to show up again on bridge? what did i do wrong?

    i figured that out - but now i can't yet figure out how to move photos from "my photos file" on my computer to adobe bridge.  it must be so simple that i can't see how it is done.  lots of stuff available about how to move from a camera or from picasa - but how to just move from regular microsoft files to adobe bridge. 

  • How can i retrieve photos that have been lost when I've synced my new iPhone to my old one

    I upgraded my iPhone 5 to an iPhone 6 yesterday, and got carried away taking photos. I've just synced it with my iTunes so i could get all my apps etc from my 5 onto my new 6. It has deleted all the photo's I'd taken… Can and How can I get them back???
    Thanks

    IF you backed up the phone prior to deleting the photos, you may be ableto restore them using your backup.  If you had photo stream turned on, they may be in your photo stream.

    Apps I've purchased have disappeared from my iPhone.  I've gone to app store, tried to reinstall and get messaged "purchased", but the app doesn't show up on the phone.

    Settings > General > Reset. Once there, select the "Reset Home Screen Layout" button. A dialog will pop-up asking for a confirmation.

    When finished editing click File->Save/Save As and you can either overwrite the original file or rename it and save as new file keeping original intact.

  • Hey there, I have an iPhone 3g that was synced to my computer. My computer got stolen with all my music on it. I have a new computer but I can't sync my computer to my iPhone. How can I recover everything that's on my iPhone 3g to my computer?

    If your backup copy of your computer was not stolen, then use it to put everything back.
    Otherwise, authorize your computer for your itunes account, connect iphone, do not sync, Click:  File>Transfer Purchases
    This will transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer.
    Enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer.  When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

  • I have lost my iPhone 5. How can I get photos that are backed up on iCloud?

    Hello,
    I have lost my iPhone 5. How can I get photos that are backed up on iCloud?
    Thanks!

    I wish, essentially you have an image file of your personal information integrated with parts of IOS in the cloud server. If you had it on your computer - you could use one of the software extractors (bunch with google search, paid and free). From icloud server it can be restored to other iphone, ipod touch, ipad - then backed up or imported to computer for you. Then that other device can return to your friend or family member. That is the only way I can think of.

  • How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?

    Hi !
    I'm using LR 5.7.1 on a Mac.
    When I've retouched raw pictures with PS CC (and do not need the PSD file any longer) I export the PSD (that is in my catalog) as JPG and let it add to my catalog automatically. After that I delete the PSD file. That works fine.
    But .... the new JPG file is not assigned to any collection. That's no problem unless I forget to do it manually after that export (and import).
    That brings me to my question.
    How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?
    I tried it with a smart collection after I found nothing suitable in library filter. The search criteria I tried are Source -> Collection with any of the conditions. One with an empty value field, then with just a space and so on.
    Has anybody a good hint for me?
    Thomas

    You can also add numbers if you have collections that don't use alphabet characters.

  • How do I save photos that have been synced to my Ipad2, so that they do not get deleted when I sync with a different photo file on my computer.

    How do I save photos that have been synced to my Ipad2, so that they do not get deleted when I sync with a different photo foder on my computer (Pc win7).

    Place that first folder of photos that you synced to the iPad within the main folder of photos that you sync from and select them to sync again. You can place any number of subfolders within the main folder that you sync from and select those folders to sync. Just "tick"(select) the folders in the photos tab in iTunes.
