I have a 16GB SanDisk SD memory card that suddenly started showing this message to me on my phone:  “UNSUPPORTED SANDISK SD CARD”  And says:  “This device doesn't support this SanDisk”  It then takes me to the formatting and erase option. I tried connecting the card to my computer with card reader but it is not showing up in “My Computer.” However the sound does come when I connect but the card is not shown. I did a virus scan just to be sure of my computer while it is fixed, its clean. I need the files in the card.
I am trying to help a friend who is very concerned that she has just lost all of the data on her 32GB SanDisk microSD card.  I told her I would post this and see if anyone could offer help.  Here are the details:   The SanDisk microSD card is less than two years old.  Probably only about a year old.  The store will take it back, but that doesn't really help.  She wants her data. She used the card in her Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone for over a month.  The phone was never exposed to water or temperature extremes. Today, her phone suddenly said something like "Your SD card is blank or an unsupported format". Her phone was then unable to read the SanDisk microSD card at all.   Here's what she has tried:   Rebooting her phone.  Had no effect. Taking out the SanDisk microSD card and putting it inside a full-size SD card adapter, and inserting it into a Windows 7 SP1 computer.  The computer did not recognize its presence at all. Putting the SanDisk microSD card into a USB 2.0 external card reader and inserting the card reader into a USB port on a Windows 7 SP1 computer.  The computer recognized the card reader and installed drivers for it.  The card reader shows up as 'Removable Disk' in Windows Explorer.  Clicking on 'Removable Disk' in Windows Explorer results in the error "Insert disk: Please insert a disk into the Removable Disk". After trying #3, tried opening the 'Removable Disk' in FreeCommander.  Doing so results in the error "The device is not ready".   She does not have access to a linux box, but does have access to her Android phone.  What can she do to recover the data on her 32GB SanDisk microSD card?
Matching exact string with JavaScript How can I test if a RegEx matches a string exactly?  var r = /a/; r.test("a"); // returns true r.test("ba"); // returns true testExact(r, "ba"); // should return false testExact(r, "a"); // should return true What was the galaxy formation Rust saw before confronting Erol Childress in  S01E08?  It was weird like out of the series. I guess it was some sort of hallucination, a product of Rust's madness or addiction. Viewing all my questions from Android app Backup of clients' directory to Windows Server 2008 I want to include something in my LaTeX article that will make all mathematical formulae appear in black, while all text (including everything inside \text{}s in the middle of mathematical formulae) appear in red.  Ideally I would like this to be something I could include in the preamble or in a .cls file or something like that.  What would be the quickest way to do that? Create longer arrows Is 'that is' optional? When I write something like this:     I am a man that is doing these things.   Is it correct to shorten it like this?     I am a man doing these things.   And does it require commas? $\sum_i x_i^n = 0$ for all $n$ implies $x_i = 0$ Here is a statement that seems prima facie obvious, but when I try to prove it, I am lost.  Let $x_1 , x_2, \dots, x_k$ be complex numbers satisfying:  $$x_1 + x_2+ \dots + x_k = 0$$  $$x_1^2 + x_2^2+ \dots + x_k^2 = 0$$  $$x_1^3 + x_2^3+ \dots + x_k^3 = 0$$  $$\dots$$  Then $x_1 = x_2 = \dots = x_k = 0$.    The statement seems obvious because we have more than $k$ constraints (constraints that are in some sense, "independent") on $k$ variables, so they should determine the variables uniquely.  But my attempts so far of formalizing this intuition have failed.  So, how do you prove this statement?  Is there a generalization of my intuition? I have a DisplayPort based monitor, and a laptop with a DP out.  I recently got a second laptop with HDMI out, and went looking for a HDMI -> DP converter.  I was very surprised to find that such a thing effectively doesn't seem to exist.   and the  seem to imply that it's just not possible to go HDMI -> DP, without a very expensive converter box (not just an adaptor).  However, I can't find anything that explains why this is the case.  Is DP designed to be backwards compatible but can't interpret HDMI?  Is it a case of HDMI-quality signal not being high enough quality to be convertible?  Some other reason?  Note that this question is not looking for an adaptor - I'm looking for the underlying cause of the lack of them. Prove that $\frac4{abcd} \geq \frac a b + \frac bc + \frac cd +\frac d a$ Let $a, b, c$ and $d$ be positive real numbers such that $a+b+c+d = 4$. Prove that $$\frac4{abcd} \geq \frac a b + \frac bc + \frac cd +\frac d a .$$   How can I approach this using only the ? Are there any other methods that do not involve the AM-GM inequality? What SIM card would you recommend for a smartphone user for travel in Germany?  It would be probably the only or the most important connection to the Internet, so large amounts of data and relatively fast transfer is an issue.  I need to stay in touch with friends and family, so the calls to other EU countries should be as cheap as possible.   For to the first criteria, I found the T-Mobile offer interesting. The internet costs 10 Euros/month and after reaching the transfer limit it stays relatively fast. According to tests (Galileo from Pro7, AFAIR) it has also the best coverage. However, calls to other countries are very expensive.  For to second criteria, Lebara and Mobilka are interesting. The calls are very cheap, but there are problems with signal strength in many locations, where T-Mobile has no problem. The voice quality, at least in Lebara, is also limited. They both have mobile internet with unlimited transfer, but after reaching the high speed limit, the transfer is reduced to 64 kbps, which is too slow.  I've found out that O2 has foreign calls at moderate prices, but I haven't yet checked for details. There are so many other options, making it is hard to compare them all without spending the whole weekend on it. So, if someone has found a better option than having 2 SIM cards and constantly switching them, this answer would be greatly appreciated. Schwarz's Lemma, fixed points question This is from an old qualifying examination question.  If f is holomorphic in the unit disk $D$ and $|f(z)|&lt;1$ for all $z\in D$. Suppose also that $f$ has two distinct fixed points in $D$ then $f(z)=z$ for every $z\in D$  I know that I have to use the Schwarz's lemma and may be make use of Möbius transformations. I tried setting $g(z)=\phi_a\circ f\circ \phi_{-a}$. But that does not seem to work because I don't see why $|g(z)|=|z|$ for some non zero $z$.   Any helpful hints are greatly appreciated.  Edit: Of course the $a$ above is one of the fixed points. In MySQL 5.0 why does the following error occur when trying to create a view with a subquery in the FROM clause?     ERROR 1349 (HY000): View's SELECT contains a subquery in the FROM clause   If this is a limitation of the MySQL engine, then why haven't they implemented this feature yet?  Also, what are some good workarounds for this limitation?  Are there any workarounds that work for any subquery in the FROM clause or are there some queries that can not be expressed without using a subquery in the FROM clause?    An example query (was buried in a comment):  SELECT temp.UserName  FROM (SELECT u1.name as UserName, COUNT(m1.UserFromId) as SentCount        FROM Message m1, User u1        WHERE u1.uid = m1.UserFromId        Group BY u1.name HAVING SentCount &gt; 3 ) as temp "...would have trouble imagining...": Is this present participle or gerund? If $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ are relations on a set S with $R_{1};R_{2}=R_{2};R_{1}$. Then $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ are bijective maps For the surjectivity part, I showed that if $(a,b)\in I$ then $(a,c)\in R_{1}$ and $(c,b)\in R_{1}$ and $(a,c)\in R_{2}$ and $(c,b)\in R_{2}$ for some $c\in S$. Now for arbituary $(x,y)\in R_{1}$ we have $(x,z)\in I$ which implies that $(y,z)\in R_{2}$. But also $(y,z)\in R_{1}$, so $R_{1}$ is surjective. Similar argument for $R_{2}$  And for Injectivity, I've tried to show that if $aR_{1};R_{2}c$ and $bR_{2};R_{1}c$, then $a=b$ but I am not entirely sure what $a=b$ means in this context. Do I have to show that there is an equivalence relation containing (a,b)?  edit: $R_{1};R_{2}$ is a composition of two relations and $I=R_{1};R_{2}$ Manifold that is NOT smooth Could someone provide an example of a manifold that is not smooth?

It prompts for command and it tries loading for 4 seconds then gives up. When one hears that something smells, one would generally assume that it smells bad.   Isn't there a word which wouldn't bring to mind the idea of a bad odor? For example, how would you describe pot-pourri (assuming you like the smell of pot-pourri)? If possible, I would like an adjective, or a word that could takes the place of an adjective.
