Recovering Deleted Files on Mac

Actually file retrieval is not the work of a moment. Let's see what a file recovery program does when restoring your files.

First of all it searches your hard drive for ALL retrievable files. In most cases you cannot just enter the name of your file into the search, so better arm yourself with patience.

Once the search is finished, you will see the list of all photos, music, documents, movies and other types of files that can be restored. Now your task is to extract your files from the numerous search results.

When the file is found, you should select where to recover it. You cannot recover the file to the same drive where it was lost, therefore choose another volume or some external storage device such as a USB flash drive.

Finally, activate the data recovery mechanism. The program will collect the tiny pieces of information, byte by byte, and arrange them to the initial state to recover deleted files. Mac apps that restore data can recover most file types, but of course there are limitations. Mostly they recover the following:

• - Video (.mov, .avi etc)
• - Audio (.mp3)
• - Images (.jpg, .bmp etc)
• - Documents (.doc(x), .xls(x) etc)

To avoid the lengthy process of data retrieval better mark your important files as read-only, or create backup copies.
