martinlangley Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 HI all A question should be a doddle for you guys but I'm a newbie to both Mac and Hackintosh so I'm sure you're all way ahead of me! I have Logic Pro running (very well) under Snow Leopard on a (quick!) Acer box. For reasons unexplained I put all my music work files on a USB for safekeeping (!) Now this has become corrupted and the OS cannot see the files. I have tried an assortment of Mac recovery softwares but either they get half way and then ask for money, or look like they work but then don't. Anybody know of a good reliable file recovery package for Snow Leopard which I can download as a freebie? Ta, you guys are great. ML Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nawcom Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 The only freebie I know that works well is PhotoRec. It's a console app that supports HFS+ and the other common filesystems but it's limited on what it can recover. See: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/File_Formats_Recovered_By_PhotoRec If what you're trying to recover isn't on there then you might be out of luck. Latest: https://www.cgsecurity.org/Download_and_donate.php/testdisk-7.1-WIP.mac_intel.tar.bz2 Instructions to use: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec_Step_By_Step You need to launch this from Terminal, for example after downloading and unpacking: sudo ~/Downloads/testdisk-7.1-WIP/photorec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
