It’s pretty easy to permanently delete files on a modern Mac system if you’re not paying attention. You drag ’em into the Trash and empty the Trash. Then realize “OMG! I needed that file!”. Sorry, too late. Or is it?
Modern computer systems have a staging ground for files and folders you want to delete, either the “Trash” or the “Recycle Bin”. But once that’s emptied you can’t recover anything, right? Not necessarily…
It usually takes about five seconds after you empty the trash on your Mac OS X system to realize that a file, document or photo you actually didn’t want to delete was still within. Tragedy! Or is it? Enter Mac Data Recovery from Stellar Phoenix…
It’s the stuff of digital nightmares: you boot up your computer and the drive’s corrupt, or you plug in an external drive — or even USB drive — and it doesn’t appear on the desktop at all, or shows up without the files and data you need. Sure you can restart and hope, but a smarter strategy is to try some disk recovery software.
You can use Disk Utility that’s included with Mac OS X but it’s not going to help you recover the lost data, just fix any easy formatting hiccups on the media, commonly producing a functional but blank drive. Yikes.
Enter the awkwardly named Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery Software application. A quick download, it does a good job of scanning broken or corrupt drives and making recovery of the information thereon a breeze…
