After Apples release of Yosemite \u00a0we have seen several of the software upgrades go bad. The users files structure can get deleted by the upgrade and the files are not longer accessible. This is a panic situation that the apple Genius are telling the users that it was not Apples Fault but a coincident that it happen when they upgraded.<\/p>\n

This problem places the user in a difficult situation. Since Apple Genius said try buying DataRecovery 4 software or they\u00a0can lose all there data or in a very special case\u00a0pay dearly to the tune of 1000 or so for a data recovery service. One such student approached the Student Help desk asked what we might be able to do since they are not ready for a thousand dollar bill with no recourse if it does not work.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0I\u00a0thought about this problem I did\u00a0a little\u00a0research on various data recovery software using apple recommendation but the cost was prohibitive for our meager budget. I then went to CNET a reliable industry source I used for years and in the middle \u00a0of listings for\u00a0mac recovery software was a trial version of “Amazing Mac Any Data Recovery” software.. hmmm..\u00a0\"Amazing\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I selected it after reading \u00a0that It had a unique feature that it would allow up to twenty files to be recovered before buying. While the hard drive would not mount to the iMac I was using, the software was able to use the USB to SATA Adapter to read the Hard drive this was a good sign. This started looking like it had a chance so I ran the software and and it was able to read the drive. Next with the user, we selected a group of 20 documents and had the software recovered them. I was impressed that the files were recovered\u00a0and in \u00a0the proper format fully usable with any editing ( note the original names did comeback).<\/p>\n

The client was impressed and wanted to see if we could get any more beyond the original twenty files. Well since that was not possible they decided to purchase the software for 49 dollars..
\nOvernight the software ran with a total of something in the range for 270, 000 files recovered. The success of this is the recovery pulled out the\u00a0Senior thesis , \u00a0important the pathway documents necessary for graduation and several hundred more essential documents..<\/p>\n

So in the end I recommend this software as an alternate to the 1000 dollars you might have to pay for recovery service. “Amazing Mac Any Data Recovery” with a funny<\/p>\n
