  1. Photos copied from my phone to my Laptop got corrupted with enormous file sizes


    I am really, really freaked out.


    I cut-pasted photos and videos from my phone (Samsung phone running Android) to my Windows 10 Lenovo laptop. Now the files are all 16 GB - 17 GB in size (the folder is 39 TB in size, though the size on disk is correct). I don't know what happened. They are not opening (File cannot be opened because it is corrupted). Please help me, I don't have backup and its over 2200 photos and videos. Other photos and videos are opening.


    (My laptop cannot have 39 TB of photos in it, its impossible. So the actual size has to be the correct one somehow, the one on disk).


    Things I have tried:


    1. Restarting my system.

    2. Updating all drivers and restarting the system.

    3. Copying file and opening in another laptop, didn't work. Also compressing the file and then extracting in another laptop.

    4. Trying to fix a corrupt .mp4 file with VLC media player.


    Please help me find these files again, I'll try literally everything you guys think will work.

    :)

  2. Corrupted file RAR

    If the archive has been created using WinRAR, why don't you try WinRAR itself? It has a built-in repair feature for repairing corrupted archive (ZIP as well as RAR). Follow the steps given below:
    • Open WinRAR application in your system.
    • Now click on File tab > Open or simply press Ctrl+O.
    • A small window "Find Archive" will pop up. Locate the corrupt RAR archive from your system directory and select it.
    • Now click Open button.
    • Click Tools tab > Repair archive or simply press Alt+R.
    • Again a small window "Repairing File name.rar" will pop up.
    • Now click Browse to select a location to save the repaired archive.
    • Check the box "Treat the corrupt archive as RAR" and click OK.
    • WinRAR will start repairing of corrupt RAR archive. Once it gets completed click Close.
    I hope the above steps will help you repair the corrupted RAR archive.

    Thanks.

    Photo's JPG size reduction

    Many thanks DaveM121

    WOW! I just learned something new and important for editing my photos.

    You provided me with excellent quick steps to re-size the photo.

    To play it safe, I made a copy of the original photo and performed your editing steps on the copied photo. I assume that by keeping the original photo . . . the higher MBs photo, I will be able to have large prints made in high resolution.

    To e-mail photos for viewing only, the re-sized photo is the best way.

    Regarding your first possible suggestion of an E-mail app that provides an option to automatically reduce the JPG size, my e-mail app/program is Microsoft Outlook 2016. If it's okay with you, I'd appreciate your step-by-step procedure to re-size photos.

    Thanks again,

    Barry G

    Photos copied from my phone to my Laptop got corrupted with enormous file sizes

    Java.nio.file - Copying files

    You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
    You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one
