When trying to mount an exfat filesystem, I get the following error:  Error mounting /dev/sda6 at /media/gkp/Backup: Command-line  `mount -t "exfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid" "/dev/sda6" "/media/gkp/Backup"'  exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'   Exfat is used on some USB sticks and camera sd cards. What can I do to mount this type of filesystem?

TL;DR: I have a Micro-SD card that has a primary partition that isn't formatted and can't be selected and I have tried:   DBAN nuke (wiped) Windows formatting 3rd party program formatting diskpart.exe Windows partition manager   I can't get it to work, please help.  I bought a micro-SD card which I had Kali Linux on and later wiped it as I wanted to use the card in my phone instead. The card failed and I think I messed up with the format of the card or my phone is too bad to work properly with an SD (cheap Chinese android). I am trying to re use it again to put Kali back on it but I am having problems.  When I try to connect it, it detects and no damage that I can recall reader is working too, Windows says I need to format it before I can use it. It just tries to and says Windows could not do it. I tried to check if there was maybe an issue with the partitions in it so I tried to select it in diskpart.exe and it recognizes the card but when I try to select the "primary" part, it just spits out: "There is no partition selected". The primary partition is active and I can't delete it because it won't select it and I can't create a new partition because the primary partition is there is taking the full size of the SD card but can't be selected.  I have also tried a DBAN nuke to clear any and all data off, it and, it just plain won't work. Formatting, partitioning and wiping it have all failed and it has no clear damage on it (bought this year). Anyone have something else I could try?

My technophobe mother returned from a European trip to discover she'd erased all but 15 images from a nearly full 2GB card. As I am the computer guy in the family, she posted the card to me and asked that I make something magical happen.  The photos were taken with and deleted by a Nikon Coolpix. (I don't know the model.)  I am a Linux guy, but there is a Windows Vista box at my disposal.  What is my best strategy to try to recover something?

The internal storage on my phone is almost full. The storage screen tells me    2.77GB / 2.91 GB taken Apps 0.89GB Other 1.89 GB Available 138MB   What is this "other" and how can I clean it up? I already followed the steps of "make more space", it barely makes a difference.   Phone Storage then tells me 43.00MB / 1.09GB is taken.  And on the SD card I have 1.86GB / 14.72GB taken.  I have plenty of storage in various places yet when I try to install apps I'm unable to do so cause of "insufficient storage". How can I fix this?

Today I went to somebody with a PDF file, I've made it with LibreOffice Writer, but, when he tried to open the file, it said that it was a corrupt file, my PDF.   I've put the file on my usb stick, and from there he opened it.  What can I do to open that file on that pc? I have to say that other files (PDF) can be opened on that pc. My file can't be corrupt because some of my friends can open it.  Thank you.

I'm new to how Ubuntu works and installed it yesterday alongside Windows 7, but in doing so I have created a few problems. I have partitions for Windows, Ubuntu, System Recovery, and storage for all my files with the intention to access them on either OS, but I don't even see all of my drives listed on Home Folder. Not to mention that  during the Ubuntu instillation I managed to screw up any chance of booting to the Windows side of things at all. I'll fix Windows once I get my hands on a copy in a couple days, but in the mean time any suggestions for accessing my files?  If you need me to find any data about my computer to help you figure out what's wrong with it, please don't hesitate to tell me what I need to show you. Thanks

I have a bunch of SD cards that do not have the little plastic switch for the read only setting. so Windows thinks it’s write protected or something. The card is not write protected by the software lock present on the SD card standard.  I’m using one with tape over the notch and it’s ugly. Also, the Thinkpad slot drags on the tape all the time so I’m afraid it will might loose in there eventually.  So, is there any way to tell Windows to ignore this lame write-protect feature?  I’m not interested on the SD card itself as it’s irrelevant for the issue at hand. Read this question as being about a 5.25” floppy disk drive instead of an SD card if you wish. I’m pretty sure the Windows settings are the same for both, really.  I’m  that there are 3 ways to secure an SD card. I’m talking about only the mechanical switch, which is the responsibility of the host to handle.

I have a 16 GB Samsung Galaxy S3 phone - 5.05GB of which is being taken up by thumbnails! Can I move these to my 32GB SD card?   I have tried DMR (duplicate media remover) and that has detected duplicate pics and videos but stops when I try to delete them.

I'm running very low on interal phone memory storage - I'm down to 5 MB of the 180 MB available. I understand that not all apps can be installed into SD card, and those will instead use up my internal storage. Luckily, those are rare.  However, I recently installed an app that is listed as being installed on the SD card, not internal storage. Even so, after installing it I'm now getting the "low on space" warning. The app takes up 16 MB, and I seem to remember I had a bit over 20 MB internal storage space before... So judging from the space, it looks like it's still taking up space on internal storage.  So my question: Should an app that's installed onto SD card take up any internal storage?  What could be causing this? Does the market store the installation files somewhere in internal cache or something as weird? Why on earth do I need to worry about apps consuming space, when I have gigabytes of free space for them on my SD card?  My device is GT-S5570 running 2.2.1.

My task today is to open up and copy some files to 700 brand new micro SD cards.  As I get going on this task I am finding that some of the Micro SD cards are telling me "sorry this drive is write protected"  To copy the files I am using a standard SD to micro SD card adapter, and a USB SD card reader / writer.   I have ensured that the switch is set to OFF on all of my adapters. As soon as I get a Micro SD that tells me it is write protected I can use the same adapter with another micro SD and it works fine, so I know the problem is not with my adapters.  My question is: How can I disable the write protection on a Micro SD card?  seems to indicate that there is also a physical switch on Micro SD cards. However I have personally never seen a Micro SD with a physical switch, and none of the ones I am using today have said switch.   Since these cards are brand new and thus empty are the ones that are telling me they are write protected simply useless? Could this be caused by some sort of defect in the cards?

Spent a half hour on this. Android 5.1.1 latest version SE app (Play Store won't let me update so latest).   Tried to upload photo into an answer. "Something went wrong".  Did tricks to reduce photo size to 275k -- same.    45k rep on the stack.  Here is the photo..... oh wait.  How do I solve?

I need help for this iCloud problem: I had no available space left, (of my 50GB plan) so, to keep using iCloud, I deleted some files. After that, instead fixing the problem, the system keep saying that "iCloud storage is full", or "there is no available space left on iCloud". I tried to deleted more files, also my iPhone backup of ~7GB, but iCloud seems not to detect I have done free space, and keep saying that there is no more storage. Has anyone had this issue? Does anyone know how to solve this? Thank you and sorry for my English mistakes because it's not my first language.

I accidentally formatted my memory card before realizing I hadn't copied the photos and video from it. Since I realized right away, I had not used the card and there is no chance for overwriting having occurred.   I have tried various free recovery software including recuva, photorec, icare-recovery, and a few others. None of them find any files on the card, though the software says it should be able to recovery data from formatted cards.   Is my data lost forever, or am I doing something wrong?

I usually back up before formatting and doing a re-installation of Ubuntu, it was in the process and then obviously stopped prematurely but I was thinking all my data was transferred.  After installing formatting the drive and sticking a fresh Ubuntu on there I proceed to transfer the files from my memory stick to my hard drive, some files are there but most of my 6 years worth of pictures are gone. Is there any way I can get these back? I don't know what to do, I feel absolutely crap :/  Any help would be very appreciated.

I know this is not specifically a photography issue but since many of us with prosumer/professional-level DLSRs use Compact Flash cards, it is bound to happen to others as well.  I have a Sandisk 16GB Ultra card that occasionally had the camera reporting inability to access the card. I had to reinsert the card to continue using it. I was able to read the card and transfer the photo files to my computer drive. Today, the same thing happened again, just that nearing the capacity of the card, it failed one last time and the camera was subsequently unable to read it anymore. Despite reinsertion.  My other CF cards never once exhibited this problem, so it's pretty much isolated to this card.  The card is similarly unrecognisable on my computer CF card reader. I think the filesystem is toast, but I suspect the photo files are still intact. I would like to find ways where I can inspect the raw binary data in the card and hopefully recover the photos?

I'm wondering if there is a way to recover corrupted JPEG files.  They got corrupted because I deleted a folder for error and I promptly recovered it with a recovery software. Most of the photos are just fine but some of them have problems like   grey areas at the bottom color/image shifts of some stripes of the image   I tried by verifying integrity with jpeginfo tool and it actually showed me that these photos had some problems related to the checksum Hauffman bitstream.  Are there any tools around which can try to recover these images? Some of them clearly show that data is still there, just messed up.
