Trying to recover my data My Micro SD Card became corrupted after JB Update

Can someone please help me?
Here is the issue:
Background:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone that I transferred my micro SD Card into from my previous smart phone. About a month ago I realized that some of the pictures were corrupted and called verizon they told me to put the sd card in the old phone and see if I could delete the corrupted pictures. Did that, the card went back to working as I was used to it working. I then had a friend download some music to it. That also worked fine until verizon sent out the Jelly bean update. When the phone turned off and then back on after the update, the phone gave me an error message that said the SD card is damaged. I immediately took it out of the phone and put it aside.
Current issue:
So today I purchased a card reader, New micro SD card and came home and downloaded Recuva. So far everything is great. All the files, I card about came up in the directory with little green circles next to them. (All the music and my 5 sms back-ups) I then hit the recover icon at the bottom of the screen and the data gathered. Then it never recovered over to my c drive or to the flash drive (memory stick) that that I put into one of the other ports. I keep getting 1 or 2 messages. The one I am seeing the most is " The parameter is incorrect" the other one I am seeing is that the memory is not ready for the data. I am now at the point where all I care about are the 5 sms back ups. The music can be reloaded later. files are called sms-"date backed up and a string of numbers".xml
So question is do I need to buy recuva to actually recover my data or am I doing something else wrong? Please help.
Thanks so much in advance.
So an update as of 8:45 pm
So here's what else I have tried so far tonight. I went back into the CMD mode of my computer and ran chkdsk d:/f   this now produced a name of a file that is corrupted. Also says that it removed the file. I then ran chkdsk again with the exact same result. The file was not removed.
Running recuva I am getting more files recovered now and more green circles. But, when actually trying to recover the files I am still getting the message "The parameter is incorrect"
Most of the other software i have found is either for recovering pictures or deleted files not corrupted ones. This is the only software that appears to do what i need it to do for my issue. I think I may be in over my head and it may be time to pay a professional to move on from here. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again for taking your time to reply to me.

Am trying to move pictures to my micro SD card but can't - ideas ?

Am trying to move pictures from gallery to micro SD card installed but no luck - Maxx HD model. Ideas?

The gallery displays pictures from multiple locations, are you sure they are not already on your SD card? If you use an app like ES File Manager then you could find them and move them if they are not already on the SD card.

Cell Data Usage SKYROCKETED Out of Nowhere (possibly after iOS update) on iPhone 4. What gives?

The problem is actually happening on my wife's phone. She has never used more than maybe 30 megs of data in a given month, and she has had the 3G and the 4 for close to 4 years now. Her phone is either at our house or her office 95% of the time which both have wifi of which she is connected on. All of the sudden, we get texts and emails saying her data is at 65% of 200megs after about 10 days of the month. Then we have a three day weekend where her phone never leaves our house and somehow there was about 50 megs of data used over that span according to ATT website.
After much research I found out that if the phone is not plugged in and goes into "sleep" mode, it switches back to 3G (cell data) in order to conserve battery life (This should be an option or something, seems ridiculous). So push notifications and possibly email updates are using cell data rather than wifi.
Even with all that, I cannot think of anything that would be causing at some times over 30 megs a day being transferred. She is a light email user, her phone is set to download headings only, we have her iCloud stuff shut off, etc.
As one last bit, two days ago we turned her cell data completely off in the settings. She turned it back on for maybe 5 mins while sitting at a restaurant to check facebook, and ATT says there was 13 megs of data sent.
Any ideas? I really dont want to start shelling out more money for what seems like a friggin backend scam to me.

Hi Andrey,
I think I have figured it out. It has to do with my iCloud account. After a lot of reasearch I found a bunch of people with the same problem, and the fix for now is to COMPLETELY DELETE your iCloud account. Simply turning everything off does not work. I immediately did this on my wife and my phones and everything went back to normal.
It appears to be a bug, because mine was only supposed to be updating my "notes" which shouldnt take 30 megs a day. Hope they fix it soon.

I have a iq 804 and tried to upgrade to win 8, but the screen goes black after windows update.

i have been working with microsoft support for 5 hours everyday for the last 5 days. they could not help, now they ask to wait for hp to come out with new drivers to support win 8.any idea if they are going to add those since my computer is 3 years old

Here are the specs for your HP TouchSmart IQ804 Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model shipped with Windows Vista 64-bit and was introduced for sale on or about 27-Aug-2008... making it almost 5 years old. Due to its age, HP has no intention of providing specific support or drivers for this model. Please read HP's position below.
THIS is HP's position on Windows 8 support and any HP computer not originally supplied with Windows 8;
1) Not all Windows 8 features may be available on all PCs.
2) Your particular experience with Windows 8 will be determined by the capabilities of your PC.
3) HP is providing upgrade instructions and drivers will be available for most Windows 7 systems sold after 1st October 2011.
4) If you want to restore the original operating system after upgrading, you must create HP recovery media before you upgrade.
5) Please note that if you purchased your system prior to October 1, 2011, HP has not tested these PCs or developed Windows 8 upgrade instructions or drivers for them. Upgrading such systems may be difficult or impossible.
and
Important information regarding additional limitations and requirements;
1) Screen Resolution Requirements
2) Limitations with DVD playback software
3) Limitations with Blu-ray playback software
4) Limitations with TV Tuner software
5) Secure Boot & other UEFI dependent features
6) Limitations with touch screen capabilities
"Windows 7 (also includes Windows Vista) PCs with touch screens will not have full Windows 8 touch capabilities after upgrade. HP PCs with touch input hardware designed for Windows 7 will provide a comparable experience for only two touch point applications after the upgrade to Windows 8. HP Windows PCs with touch input hardware will not support Windows 8 applications that require more than two simultaneous touch points. Additionally, Windows 8 edge swipes may not be available due to the recessed bezel on HP touch systems shipped with Windows 7."
7) HP TouchSmart Magic Canvas and HP TouchSmart applications are not compatible with Windows 8 and must be uninstalled before upgrading. Note that content created using the TouchSmart applications such as Graphitti will not be available after upgrading.
With all of that said, you may be able to install Windows 8 and it may work but many of its features may no longer function under Windows 8.

Another instance of a corrupt Micro SD card

This problem is somewhat similar to the one described here, but with a 16 GB card rather than an unsupported 64 GB card: Micro SD Card Became Corrupt
history:
I am using a fast 16 GB card (SanDisk microSDHC 16GB Extreme Pro) which I used with my Android phone for about a year without any problems.
initially I put the card into the Z30 without any formatting and all content showed up fine,
started too see problems the other day
files still showed up in the preview (probably cached), but could not be opened,
at some point they disappeared
then I deleted the content and formattted the card (actually twice so far), transferred music and photos to the Z30 via BB Link from my PC,
--> same problem showed up the next day all the time
So I have seen data getting corrupted 3 times now.
How likely is it that it's related to the card ?
Besides this issue I am very happy with my Z30: performance, usability and battery are outstanding.

I have a SanDisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card 30MB/s
Wife has a 32 gig class 4
my Q10 has a 32 gig class 2
My spare Z has 32gig class 2

Trying to Recover Data From Old Backup Exec Tapes

I have been tasked with recovering data from an old Windows XP machine with an HP C1537A DDS3 tape drive. The machine used Backup Exec to create the tapes. In trying to recover the data I constantly get an error that says the data on the tape is inconsistent. I tried to run the HP analysis utility but it said the error log of the drive was full and it would be necessary to do a firmware load to clear it. I therefore loaded the lastest firmware.
I ran the HP analysis utilities using one of the tapes as a scratch tape (to write over):
Test 'DDS Drive Assessment Test' started on device 'HP C1537A' at address '6/0.0.0'
Please reload your media. Do you wish to continue?
|__ Analysis Results
    ||__ DDS Drive Assessment Test version V08.11.2006
    ||__ Device Analysis for DDS Drives
    ||__ Firmware rev 'L411' is up-to-date for 'C1537A' as of Wed May 25 19:00:00 2005.
    ||__ You appear to have used tapes not designed for this drive.
    ||__ Please use tapes that are compatible with your product.
    ||__ Unsupported tapes have been inserted 6 times.
    ||__ You appear to be using very old tapes not designed for this drive.
    ||__ Non-MRS tapes tapes have been inserted 3 times.
    ||__ There were 9 rules checked.
    ||__ Testing has completed and no problems were found.
The tape that was used in the analysis was a maxlell HS-4/125s DDS3 tape -- the same type that was used to create the backup tapes.
Why does the drive think I am using "very old tapes not designed for this drive"? The tapes were witten to by this drive.
What is a "Non-MRS" tape?
The end results appears to be that "no problems were found" but Backup Exec reports that the tapes have inconsistent data.
Any suggestions on how to make the tapes readable by Backup Exec would be appreciated.
I am using Backup Exec 9.1 Rev 4691. Please do not suggest using a later version as this is the latest version that (1) will run on a Windows XP Pro box and (2) that supports the tape drive.

Saberman,
Have you tried the Enterprise/Business forum for this? I doubt anyone here on the consumer section will be able to help you with Tape Storage.
Here is the link to the Tape section of the forum.

Interfaces Restore - How to recover from Data Loss

Dear Friends,
Since 4:00 PM Yesterday our ERP system is started issueing short dupms it was continued till 11:00 PM. So we have decided to shut down the system.
After detailed analysis we found that the route cause of the issue is curruption of one block in database. SAP and Oracle data base experts are trying to recoved the data but it seems it is not possible,
Now the only option we have is restore the system from backup. the last back up of the system is @4:00 pm yesterday. Now the issue is we have data loss of 8 Hrs bussiness transactions. my customer is very big SAP instalation and we have very complext interface. interfacing with arount 200 systems 2000 IDoc intefaces and many more file interfaces etc... This is the first time we are facing this issue and we need to think of how we can sync the Interfaces again.
For masterdata coming from external systems we can simply ask the partner system to resend the Idocs or Files. But for transactional data we can still request them to send the Idocs or files to my SAP system but we should some how avoid sending the confirmations back to partner systems.
Could you please let me know did you faced this kind of problems and did you applied any best practices.
All kind of suggessions are wellcome!!!!.....
Regards
Naresh

Recovering trashed data

hi all.
after importing my iPhoto library - and while in a dead sprint to get a presentation together in Keynote - I /believe/ I trashed some images due to a mis-understanding about how to move images around in Aperture.
effectively I think the upshot is that I somehow removed some images of even some Albums by not realizing I cannot move the images to a folder. not sure exactly what I did but I am now in the process of looking through my notes about this and trying to see if there is in fact a great deal of original images that are no longer there.
is there an uber intelligent way to simply search the TRASH or even TIME MACHINE for images that were deleted in some manner within Aperture and to simply re-import them to Aperture and re-organize them as necessary?!
Obviously the ideal situation would be to simply recover the trashed images and then organize them and find out if there are any dupes - as opposed to simply moving forward without trying to recover this data...
Thanks for any help on this.

Oracle does recover uncommitted transactions.
Please read Overview of Instance Recovery from 11.2 Concepts Guide:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10713/startup.htm#CEGCHJGF which says:
>
After the roll forward, any changes that were not committed must be undone. Oracle Database uses the checkpoint position, which guarantees that every committed change with an SCN lower than the checkpoint SCN is saved on disk. Oracle Database applies undo blocks to roll back uncommitted changes in data blocks that were written before the failure or introduced during cache recovery. This phase is called rolling back or transaction recovery.

Recovering Old Datas on New Drive + Setting Airport Extreme Base Station old and new ones

Hello All,
Situation:
-iMac 24" Alu/2008/2.8 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo/ 2Go DDR2 SDRAM
-2 Airport Extreme Base Stations mushroom type,
-1 Airport Extreme Capsule Model: A1143
The original 320 Go Hard Drive of my iMac crashed few months ago. A "technician" installed a new Hard Drive 235 Go while trying to recover all datas from old one. Failed.
No back up. The old disc needs to be unlocked in a dustless atmosphere. Quite expensive at the moment.
I decided to install OS X from sratch with the original Install Disc delivered with my iMac.
OS X is 10.5
Once on line I updated all pre-installed softwares. Among which Aiport Utility 5.6.1 today.
Problem:
I would like to get bigger hard drive disc, 1To for example. Does this still exist for this iMac 2008 Alu ?
How can I do to get my iMac again to OS X 10.9 ?. Does this mean I need to buy all intermediate levels again ?
How do I get my softwares (the ones on the original Disc: Pack office, Pages, Numbers, etc ...) back on track again, since my iMac is now more like down to factory level ?
Extending my internet provider from the WiFi router via my 3 Airport Extreme Base Stations: 2 mushroom type that need OS X + Airport Utility softwares at a certain level, while the Capsule might need another level. Right now I tried to set up the 3 of them with this Aiport Utility and though they all recognize the provider network, I can never conclude to extend it with the Base Stations: it drops the case. (WDS trouble which I don't even know what it is, or the Base Station simply desapears from Airport Utility scan, ...)
Thank you all for you attention.
Your comments are welcome especially if you have any knowledge on these various subject.
Can't wait to read your piece of advice.
Lionnel From Paris (France).

me too... i connected my hard drive with all my music but i cannot see any of the music that used to be in my itunes... i checked and its there (when I connect the HD directly to my computer) but not when is plugged into the Airport Extreme... Please help!

Is there any way to recover my data?

I have had my iBook for just over 5 years now and I have now received a error code
2STF/3/3: ATA-100 ata-6 - Master
I am trying everything I know to recover the inaccessible data. I am considering taking it to a professional but I am going to hope that I can be offered any suggestions of what I can possibly do.
The latest thing I tried doing is linking my iBook to another computer to transfer the data but I get a pinwheel that never stops with firewire. I have done ethernet in the past but the computer now doesn't let me get to the desktop anymore.
Is trying to recover my data a lost cause or is there a option I can be suggested that I have not tried yet?

Firewire Target mode is your best bet right now.
Get Data Rescue or FileSalvage & see if they can recover much...
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/filesalvage.html
http://subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?mainpage=product_info&productsid=74
(Both have a Free Demo to see if it could or not, but you'll need another drive to recover to).
Or professional Data Recovery Services.

HTC Rhyme crashed - trying to recover sms from sd card

Hello. HTC Rhyme crashed and I'm trying to recover SMS texts from the SD Card. There is a folder on the SD card labeled "sms_backup". WIthin that folder, there is an unidentifiable file that is 29KB. In the type of file block, it simply says "File." Can I restore these on the phone to a readable format - if so, how? Tried to transfer to a PC just for historical purposes, but regardless of which program I use to open it, it comes up in some type of cryptic code. Please help.

Jay1, I know it can be difficult to lose precious info on your phone! The phone does not automatically backup SMS. Do you remember previously downloading an SMS backup application? If you did, you can re-download that application to recover your SMS. Search for SMS backup applications in the PlayStore and give it a try.

Battery drains off quickly with micro SD card‎

Hi ,
   My battery drains off quickly with micro SD card. This problem started a few days back when all of a sudden my micro SD card got corrupted while my cell was connected to laptop with the USB cord. It all of a sudden displayed message that there is some issue with the micro SD card and it needs to be formated. Unwillingly i had to format my micros SD card, clearing all my data and then it worked fine for few days and again the same thing happened. When my cell was connected with my laptop, it showed the error message and asked for formating. So i did formating again and now i have stopped connecting my cell with laptop. After battery problem started and battery is draining off in just few hours. I think maximum 5 hours without using cell much.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I think I'd remove the Media Card, first off, and see how it goes without.
