I found an old 64MB CompactFlash memory card (pictured). I’m trying to recover the photos on it, but I’m having trouble getting the pictures onto my computer.
The card fits into my reader and the light turns red, but nothing seems to transfer into my files.
Does anyone know how I can check whether the card is readable and recover the photos? I’m using a MacBook Air.
Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I made a major mistake today. While trying to boot a Windows OS installation pendrive, I mistakenly selected and booted into my external 5TB Western Digital My Passport Ultra HDD instead.

Now, the drive shows up in Windows Disk Management as completely "Unallocated" (it had about 3.5TB of data on it, though I honestly can't remember if it was NTFS or exFAT). There is no physical damage; the drive spins up normally and is recognized by the system.

Since this is a WD My Passport Ultra (which has a USB bridge board), what is the safest way to proceed? Should I try TestDisk first, or go straight to deep file recovery tools like R-Studio or UFS Explorer without trying to rebuild the partition table?

Any guidance would be hugely appreciated!

I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max that is permanently stuck on the "iPhone Unavailable" screen with no countdown timer after the passcode was entered incorrectly too many times. It is currently in Airplane Mode.

I am trying to find a way to access or recover the local data. I already know the standard Apple protocol is to wipe the device via Recovery Mode, but I want to exhaust all possibilities to save the data before doing that.

Before I give up, I want to ask the experts:

*Are there any commercial digital forensic tools or lab services that can currently bypass the Secure Enclave lockout on the 13 Pro Max?

*Does anyone know of any advanced or unconventional methods to bypass the permanent lockout without wiping the user partition?

Please do not recommend standard paid recovery software (Tenorshare, Dr.Fone, etc.), as I know they just automate a standard factory erase. I am looking for legitimate hardware, firmware, or forensic workarounds, if they exist for this model.

long story short: took videos, put SD in tablet, saw clips on tablet, took SD out, couldn't find alternative way to copy files, SD back in tablet, SD card empty

I'm looking for a free software to use. I don't want to pay because I'll only be using this once and will probably not use it again after this incident.

I'm just a broke student who lost video clips for a project that's due soon 🥹 I really need help
