It happens to everyone once and a while: the loss of documents in the computer. Five years ago I almost finished the editing of my third long video demonstration. By bad luck, I lost all the work. I was defeated and angry at myself for disconnecting the hard drive from my computer without the necessary precautions. Months and months of work lost! A negligence which I had to atone a longtime. Eventually the footage could be retrieved by a specialist company in Madrid, but the editing had gone forever. I am taking charge of the project again. From now I will be spending all available time behind the screens. I hope to finish the project by summer. I will keep you posted.
So sorry you lost this video, Ben. I remember watching it very closely three years ago and learning much from the techniques you offered in it.
Hi Ben,
Do you mean that you disconnected an external drive from a Mac without properly ejecting it first in the Finder and then couldn’t see any of the contents? This happened to me once, but simply connecting the drive to a Windows (yes, Windows!) machine brought everything back and when I reconnected to my Mac all was good again.
Best,
Well I had to bring the hard disk to that specialized company. But maybe the next time I will think of this. Hopefully there won´t be a next time.
Best
