The file types are important as well. Not all recovery software can retrieve all formats.

I've used the Sandisk recovery software with good results, don't know if it works on Mac, but I would guess they have it for both platforms. As long as it hasn't been overwritten it should be straightforward.

Does Sandisk recover files from fixed drives also? I assumed if was only for flash media.

Going from memory I think it CAN but it will require a HUGE area to write to as it does it's thing.

I found that CardRecovery rescued about three times as many images from an SD card as did the other software I tried.

Sometimes a partial reformat using SDFormatter may give you access but check with their website.

I have also installed Remo Recovery, which looks even more ,promising but events have prevented me from testing it yet.

He is talking about a MacBook Pro, not a SD card.

Just a heads-up for anyone reading this thread:

DO NOT wait until you need to recover lost images before you look for a solution.

It's frustrating as all get-out to lose digital files. But to jump through all the hoops, trying this software and that software, some free, some costing good money, spending the time, pulling out your hair, learning each software from scratch, wondering if you'll ever see those files again..........

BE PRO-ACTIVE and find a solution NOW.

When I got my first DSLR (Nikon D60), I made d***ed sure I had software that could recover not only JPEGs, but NEFs as well (not all software is up-to-date, and not all .NEFs are the same, you know!). When I upgraded to the D7000, one of my first tasks what to verify that the same software could recover the D7000 images. Fortunately, it could.

However, when I upped to the D600, the old software just wasn't up to the task of recovering .NEFs. And with no updates for it on the horizon, I ended up searching for a solution. Having found one after a couple weeks, I can now go forth into the field with solid confidence that any lost files can be recovered. Having the software in place, and knowing how to use it, is cheap insurance.
