Mac Forum / General / Portable Macs / August 2008free software to recover deleted files?
Does anyone know of any free software to recover deleted files? This is on an Apple iBook G4 laptop. Thanks > Does anyone know of any free software to recover deleted files? > This is on an Apple iBook G4 laptop. The only software I know of for that is called Data Rescue by Prosoft Engineering and it is not free; it costs around $100. If you intend to attempt recovery of your files, do not use your iBook and do not install any software on it; run it of a CD because you might overwrite the area that holds the deleted data on the disk. You can find Data Rescue easily enough by googling for it. Not aware of free ware but you can try Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery Software a file and partition recovery utility which recovers data lost accidental format, file/directory deletion or software malfunction. The software will cost you $99 but before purchasing you can try out demo first by downloading it from : http://www.stellarinfo.com/partition-recovery.htm Demo shows the recovered data, if you can see it through demo then can get the full version to save the data.

I think the demo of this software won't help at all on a Mac: Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery Software for FAT & NTFS Cheers Andreas  SignatureMacAndreas Rutishauser, <http://www.MacAndreas.ch> EDV-Dienstleistungen, Hard- und Software, Internet und Netzwerk Beratung, Unterstuetzung und Schulung <mailto:andreas@MacAndreas.ch>, Fon: 044 / 721 36 47 Hey i am really sorry about that I didn't noticed that it was a MAC system. For mac you can try Stellar Phoenix Macintosh - Mac data recovery software, recovers data from damaged, deleted, or corrupted volumes and even from initialized disks. You can download the demo from: http://www.stellarinfo.com/mac-data-recovery.htm > Hey i am really sorry about that I didn't noticed that it was a MAC > system. of course not. you are just another a.shole spammer. you may have a mac version (and it is "Mac" not "MAC"), but you neglect to explain why your product is any better than the other products that are available with well known reputations of actually working. not only is it not an universal binary, but the real kicker is that it looks like the developer reviewed his own software at versiontracker. not cool. and for some perverse reason, i tried the demo, and i must say, this really is a piece of crap. the preferences menu option doesn't do anything at all and the main window filled the screen despite the list area being much smaller. the graphics are non-standard, very non-mac looking, they redraw with every mouse click and they're ugly. i ran it on my hard drive and it said no data found, which is rather amusing because it is a fully functioning hard drive. if it can't find files on a drive that actually works, how can it recover anything from one that doesn't work? this matches the comment at versiontracker too. and to top it off, it is significantly more expensive than exisiting mac recovery software that is known to work well. in short, it is garbage. absolute garbage. > Hey i am really sorry about that I didn't noticed that it was a MAC > system. What newsgroup do you think you're reading, anyway?

Don't be hard on the poor guy - if he works in data recovery, he's got enough problems already. take a look at his email address - looks like the name is brian mark anthony but he spelled it brain instead of brian - maybe a mental lapse or an ego trip = whatever! |
