I’m having trouble opening a JPEG image file on my Android device. Every time I try to view it using the default gallery app or any other image viewer, I get an error saying the file is corrupted or can’t be opened. I’m not sure what caused the corruption.
Is there a way to fix or recover a corrupted JPEG file directly on Android, or do I need to use a computer? Any recommended apps or steps I should try?
Good point, I think my backup is encrypted. I should remember the password though. I’ll try a trial extractor first and see if those numbers pop up before spending on anything. Thanks guys.
Agree with @Mira. I learned the hard way that free tools are outdated for newer iOS versions. If you’ve got the backup on your PC already, a proper extractor will save you from having to mess with a full restore.
Also..make sure your iTunes backup isn’t encrypted, or you’ll need the password to even open it.
I had this issue last month. I used a trial of a paid iPhone data recovery tool on my Windows laptop..not the free “fake” ones, but something up to date. It let me open my iTunes backup, preview contacts, and export them to CSV without restoring. The trial showed me all the contacts, but I had to get the full version to actually save them.
If you just need a few numbers, maybe grab the trial first to see if they’re even in there.
Yeah exactly, I don’t wanna overwrite everything just to get like 3 numbers back. Do you know any extractor that actually works with iOS 18?
itunes is annoying that way..it’s basically “all or nothing” when it comes to restores. If you restore, you get the whole phone overwritten.
For contacts specifically, you’ll need some kind of backup extractor that supports the new iOS format. Most of the old free ones stopped updating after iOS 15 or 16.
So my nephews were playing with my phone and somehow managed to delete a couple of important contacts (don’t even ask me how they found the delete button).
I thought, “No big deal, I’ve got iCloud,” but nope..those contacts are nowhere to be found there. The good thing is I do have a recent iTunes backup saved on my Windows laptop. Problem is, iTunes will only restore the whole backup, and I just want those specific contacts back without messing up my current stuff.
Tried a couple of “free” tools I found on Google, but apparently they’re stuck in the past and don’t support iOS 18 backups.
Anyone here knows an easy way to just pull contacts out of an iTunes backup on Windows?”
5,000 mAh in an iPhone? Careful, Apple!!
People might start expecting their phone to last more than a single coffee break.
I am using an iPhone 14 and thinking of switching directly to an iPhone 17.
Honestly, if the camera quality upgrade news is true, I might finally replace my DSLR for casual shoots with the iPhone 17.
Again, the biggest change will be the price tag of the iPhone.
I don’t know why people are crazy for iPhone, Android is best in terms of saving money as well as data.
Every year, I promise myself that i’ll not upgrade my iPhone, but then Apple traps me by dropping new features.
No, @IslaVoss it’s not going to be foldable. But for sure, it will fold our bank accounts in half. hahaah
This can happen for a few reasons—like a faulty SD card, interrupted saving process, or file format issues.
I am too facing same issue.
