My iPhone was working perfectly fine and all of the sudden it suddenly stopped charging — what could be the reason and how do I fix it?
Hello everyone, My problem is that after having stored my data in the disk I can not access my data, indeed the disk is recognized by the PC but it does not give me the window to write my password. The data are very important to me and and I want to recover them . I have “My Passport Ultra” Hard Disk
Can’t see my new 2TB external hard drive
1.Turn off and unplug your PC.
2. Check if the hard drive is firmly connected.
3. Enter BIOS (F2, DEL, or ESC) and see if the drive shows up.
4. Run hardware diagnostics (F12 or ESC at startup).
5. Try a different cable or port (desktop only).
If still not working, test the drive on another PC.
Fix “Unable to determine volume version and state” error:
1. Don’t format the drive.
2. Use recovery software like Stellar to get your files back.
3. After recovery, run this in Command Prompt (as admin):
chkdsk X: /f
Replace X: with your drive letter.
4. Check Disk Management to see if the drive shows as RAW or unallocated.
5. Recover data first before any repairs.
You can hide photos and videos on your Android without deleting them or using any sketchy apps. Here are a few easy ways:
1. Use File Manager (No third-party app needed)
If your phone has a built-in File Manager:
Open File Manager > Settings
Enable “Show hidden files”
Create a new folder and name it something like .private. (the dots at the beginning and end matter)
Move the photos/videos you want to hide into that folder
Now go back and turn off “Show hidden files”
These files won’t show up in your Gallery anymore, but they’re still safe in your storage.
2. Use Google Photos Archive (Quick & Easy)
If you’re using Google Photos:
Open the app and select the images/videos you want to hide
Tap the three dots menu > Move to Archive
The media gets hidden from the main gallery but stays accessible under the Archive folder in Library
3. Samsung Users – Secure Folder
Go to Settings > Security > Secure Folder
Set it up with your Samsung account and preferred lock method
Add your photos/videos inside it
You can even hide the Secure Folder icon from your app drawer
Last weekend, I had to hand over my phone to a friend to show them a vacation album, and I realized some of my personal photos were still visible in the Gallery. It got a bit awkward. I don’t want to delete those photos, just make sure they’re hidden from the gallery view. Is there a simple way to hide private photos and videos on an Android phone without using any complicated third-party apps?
Here’s how to fix the ftdibus.sys error blocking Memory Integrity:
1. Update the FTDI driver from the official FTDI website.
2. In Device Manager, find the USB device using the FTDI chip and update its driver.
3. If updating doesn’t work, disable the device in Device Manager, turn on Memory Integrity, then re-enable the device.
4. Restart the PC after updates.
If you use “Files by Google”, check the “Trash” section (it holds deleted stuff for 30 days, but only if the app was allowed access to manage your files).
If you didn’t use any backup or syncing options, opt for an Android data recovery software. I used it on my Windows laptop — it helped me recover most of my recordings, even ones that weren’t backed up.
Just remember..don’t use your phone too much until you try recovery.. new data can overwrite the deleted files.
Here’s a quick fix for the “Your PIN is no longer available” error:
1. At login, pick Sign-in options and use your password.
2. Press Windows + R, type %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Ngc, and delete all files in that folder.
3. Restart your PC.
4. Go to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options and create a new PIN.
If you can’t log in with your password, try password reset or Safe Mode.
I was trying to clean up some storage on my Android phone and ended up deleting a folder that had a bunch of my audio call recordings some of them were work-related and really important. I didn’t realize they were gone until a couple of days later when I needed one of them. I’ve checked the File Manager, Gallery, and even the Google Files app, but I can’t find anything. Is there any way I can recover those lost audio recordings?”**
Here are few things you can try:
First, double-check Google Photos, Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive if you had any sync or backup turned on. These cloud apps usually keep deleted stuff for 30–60 days.
If there’s no backup and nothing in the trash, then your best shot is using an android data recovery software. It works without rooting and can recover deleted videos, even from internal storage or SD cards.
Just make sure you don’t add any new files or apps on your phone until recovery — or your deleted data might get overwritten.
My computer says “Hard Drive Not Installed” and doesn’t detect my drive. Has anyone else had this happen? Any simple fixes would be great.
Thanks!
I accidentally deleted important videos from my Android phone. They’re not in the gallery trash. Is there any way to get them back? Please help!
If your iPhone won’t charge, check the charging cable and adapter for damage or fraying. Try using a different cable, adapter, or power source. Inspect the Lightning port for lint or debris and gently clean it with a toothpick or soft brush.
Also, check if the charging icon appears when plugged in. If the phone still doesn’t charge, try wireless charging or contact Apple support.
