Mac Data Recovery Software

One of the most frustrating experiences of Mac computing is the loss of data or a hard drive. Many of us are challenged not to chuck the whole computer when this happens! Worse, the Mac OS has no provision for recovering lost data besides the trash icon. It is recommended you keep your wits about you because these days, there are many a Mac data recovery software out there. Better still, the programs of today used to recover a hard disk or the data from it work very well.

About Data Loss and Recovery on a Working Mac Drive

If you have not experienced data loss from your Mac but you are reading this article, you are wise. Data loss can be near occurring on your Mac when you notice your computer slowing down from a performance perspective. Here is where being proactive can help in warding off lost data by running purchased data recovery software for the Mac before you realize data is lost.

When you become aware that data from your Mac is lost, it is a good idea to have your hard disk checked for consistency and physical wear. The Mac data (and hard disk) recovery software you select should do this for you once you load the program. The program will report back the health of the hard drive and give you opportunity to recover lost data, provided the data has not been overwritten by your Mac hard disk. For any defects found on the Mac hard disk, the program marks (or advises you) the defective area and keeps files from being written.

There are many manufacturers of Mac data recovery software. Finding one that works for you takes a bit of web research or research at an electronics store. You will quickly come to know the ones that are most popular. You might want to search for comments and reviews about products you find online so that you can get a clearer picture of the road others have been down (the pros, the cons, the things to watch out for, etc) for a particular product.

As a rule of thumb, at least investigate data recovery software for your Mac before you need it to become familiar with the various manufacturers and tools on the market that would suit your Mac computer’s needs when data recovery is necessary. It is also a smart move to note any unusual message displayed to you by the Mac operating system or unusual disk activity and definitely respond to such by checking out data and hard drive recovery tools online or at your local supplier.

About Data Recovery on an inoperable hard drive

Data recovery software for the Mac is often bundled with both hard disk troubleshooting and recovery and file recovery software. If your hard disk is inoperable, running such software from a CD or DVD is the way to go. Emergency boot-up software should be included with the data recovery software you select. A robust data recovery software will be able to recover lost files and records from an inoperable hard disk and can help restore the master boot record to put your hard disk in a known boot state so that it can work if there are no physical damages to the disk from wear and tear.

Wondershare DemoCreator : An excellent screen recording software

Wondershare DemoCreator is an excellent screen recording utility which comes with an interface very similar to MS Office 2007. The importance of screen recording facility can be well understood by people who are in the business of making voice- over presentations, tutorials or projects.

With Wondershare DemoCreator, making a proper video is just 3 simple steps. Just record, edit the video and perform the publishing operation. The recording guide is extremely beneficial as it assists you in choosing the record area, record mode, auto record etc. Another extra dimension that Wondershare DemoCreator has over other similar utilities is the support for recording the required area of a screen. You can go for recording of a selected area on a screen, selected application or full screen. This helps a lot in the end when you will go for editing the video. It will save your time in trimming or cutting the unnecessary portion of video.

The software also supports recording of our actions, say for example it can record our typing or mouse gestures as well. It can record every possible movement that we are making. For that you have to select the Full Motion type of capture.

While editing the video, the entire video is divided into various slides with small timespan, thus providing a lot ease while editing. I personally liked this concept very much.

While, testing the software, I created a video file of around 25 seconds and I saw that the video frames got divided into 20 slides. It really became easy for me to perform editing on individual slide and publishing it.

Once the editing of the video is done, the last step would be to select the type of output video file. The software supports 7 video files namely AVI, WMV, MPEG, 3GP, MP4, FLV and MOV. You can even upload the Videos directly to YouTube from this application.

Overall, I am quite impressed with screen recording tool. Its improved interface creates an excellent environment to work around. The only thing that I missed a bit is the support for import of back ground music. At times, while making projects, we go for importing a music file rather than recording.

WonderShare DemoCreator runs very well on all Windows platform including XP, Vista and Windows 7. It has a file size of just 11.9 MB. Do not forget to give it a try and respond to us with your views.
