My computer illiteracy knows no bounds and the latest smooth move I made involved me losing dozens of pics on my PC, pics that were to be posted on the forum, so guys if you could give me pointers, it would be appreciated.
Here's what happened: so I bought this wonderful new gadget which has since take over my life, its called an Iphone and I've been taking tons of pics and videos every day. I plugged the phone into my laptop (cheap Toshiba, runs Windows 7) and on the screen Autoplay popped up and asked to import pictures and videos, so I clicked yes, as they were loading, the screen asked me if I wanted to delete files from my Iphone, so I clicked yes. Then all of the pics were in a folder and I copied and pasted them into another folder where I'm keeping all of my Manila pics. Here's where I fucked up, the move file screen gave me three options:
There is already a file with the same name in this location
#1) Move and replace
#2) Don't move
#3) Move, but keep both files
Me being the idiot that I am, I chose #1 then later realized that all these cool pics I had were gone. I asked a buddy and he suggested a program called Recuva, which I downloaded and used but it recovered all of these old jpegs, gifs and other old files containing all kinds of useless shit I don't feel like sifting through because it will take me forever.
So do any of you have any suggestions as to how I can find these pics I uploaded from my Iphone?
Thanks and yes I know that its hard to believe that there's still guys out there in 2013 who don't know this simple shit, but we actually do exist.
