Re: Data Rescue (was iPhoto/iChat Question)
Ah, the old Trash Can trick... I work for a large cable provider and am working with the webmaster updating Macintosh knowledge base articles. I am removing any instances that refer to temporarily putting items in the trash. I used to do it since that's what all the books say to do. To avoid this type of thing happening (imagine the added factor of doing this over the telephone!) I will no longer put items in the trash. In order for a folder to get created/recreated the orignal simply has to be moved from the directory. Creating a new iPhoto library would work just as well if the original had been moved to the desktop. Heck even just renaming it works most of the time (some programs are smart enough to see the folder even after renaming it). The trash is out, no pun Thing is, that left two copies of the iPhoto library in the Pictures folder. I put one in the trash and backed up the other... Then I forgot the other one was in the trash, and a couple of days later, having forgotten I had left the other library in there, I clicked on the trash and chose 'empty trash' out of habit... Needless to say, the new library was the one in the trash... __ Yahoo! Mail Mobile Take Yahoo! Mail with you!

Data Rescue (was iPhoto/iChat Question)
From: Bruce Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: iPhoto/iChat question Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2005 13:04:39 -0700 There's also Data Rescue X, http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue_info.php? PHPSESSID=9b48d09c3d090a69177d181d713ae64a Which is $89... Ballmer monkey dance Backups! Backups! Backups!/ballmer -- Bruce Johnson Spoke too soon, Bruce. Data Rescue says quite clearly on its website that it will not recover deleted files in OS X. Basically it works if your entire HD is hosed. But it will only recover files that had not been deleted. Not if you have 'accidentally' deleted some files. In my case, I had done a rebuild of the iPhoto library (like I suggested to you a few months ago...). Thing is, that left two copies of the iPhoto library in the Pictures folder. I put one in the trash and backed up the other... Then I forgot the other one was in the trash, and a couple of days later, having forgotten I had left the other library in there, I clicked on the trash and chose 'empty trash' out of habit... Needless to say, the new library was the one in the trash... So now you know how NOT to backup... Thanks anyway, Walter -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
