quinlan Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 My name is quinlan. I'm new to this forum so I apologize if this question is in the wrong place or has been asked before. I have canon camera with which I have taken a alot of photos and copied them to my Mac system. Formatted memory card and wanted them to be shared to my friends so cut and paste them on friends pen drive. I performed cut operation instead of copy. And again formatted pen drive as it had some other data. Now i dont have photos on memory card nor computer nor pen drive. Is there any way to get back the photos?

BritinUSA Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Did you use iPhoto? If so look in the trash icon within iPhoto If you used Finder instead then the images are gone unless you use Time Machine in which case you can go back to when the files existed.

benos Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Did you use iPhoto? If so look in the trash icon within iPhoto My iPhoto Libarary folder does not have a trash folder/icon? in it? (Not sure what you meant by "icon.") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadeslade Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 When you open iPhoto, you should see a garbage can icon that says Trash on the left column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Have you written other files to the pen since? Is it flash memory? If no to the first -- and possibly even if yes, as long as you didn't fill the drive -- file recovery software may be able to help..... Try googling "Photo Rescue" and "Data Rescue" they were two apps that I have occasionally used to recover image files from a colleague's corrupt card -- though my experience is probably 6-7 years out of date.... One of those programs used to come free with Lexar professional compact flash cards -- might check their website. The other one was a paid program, you could run a free tool from their website to determine if anything was recoverable; actual recovery would require buying the program....

Jadeslade Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 It's ok, took me a couple years to figure out iPhoto trash is different than regular trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
