paso4242 Posted June 27, 2015 #1 Posted June 27, 2015 I have many pictures on my hard drive, they have bytes, .jpg extension and look normal but when I try to show them they are blank-no picture. Is there any software to recover these pictures. I have so many pictures I can't see and need help. thanks
vdkercjm Posted June 27, 2015 #2 Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) We don't have a lot info to work with (exept that all looks normal and it doesn't work). Did you try opening it with a browser (ie. Internet Explorer)? Right click on image + select Open with + select ie Internet Explorer Edited June 27, 2015 by vdkercjm
paso4242 Posted June 27, 2015 Author #3 Posted June 27, 2015 thanks for the reply but that also didn't work. They didn't all go blank in some directories a few pictures are ok but many are just plain blank. I can upload a few somewhere so someone can look at them and see if there is any way to fix them. Let me know.thanks

Searching this found the most probale cause: theJPEG files can’t be opened because of corrupted head, corrupted data, and invalid structure. Maybe someone on ANDR has a prg. to solve this? I will also look for a suitable prg.

SuperModerator BamSec1 Posted July 1, 2015 SuperModerator #6 Posted July 1, 2015 If you downloaded those pictures from photobucket and they were on a user's page, then you will not be able to see them at all.To avoid that in the future, you have to right-click on the image and select "Copy link location" or"Copy image location" (I use firefox), then open a new tab and drop the link in the address bar.Only then you will be able to save those images for later viewing.Notice the difference in bytes between the odd "picture" and the good one!
