Aha thank you Ronni,
You are my human backup RAM.
I believe you are correct !

Heavens …. I recently put my name down for an Alzheimers research program.
But the tests showed I am low risk so was no good for the trial.
Now this makes one wonder eh !

Hi Stephen,


Probably a  photo recovery software 'trial' you downloaded back around 26/27 
August 
Re your email request to WAMUG -Re: Recovering photos from an SD card ?

Daniel suggested you use Picture Rescue 2 by Prosoft which you eventually did 
and recovered all your photos form the SD card.

Cheers,
Ronni

Strange file in downloads folder ?

[Stephen Chape]

Hi folks,

I discovered this morning a file in my downloads folder that I do not recall 
downloading.
From memory (sorry I eventually deleted it without writing it down), it was 
“mac-card-restore-trial.dmg”
I had a difficult time deleting it, but eventually once I dragged to desktop 
and re-started my iMac it deleted.
Really strange though, because initially right clicking it would not even bring 
up a menu to delete.

I have iMac Core i7 3.1GHz with 16GB RAM.
December 2012 model.

Has anyone come across this file before please ?

Regards,
Stephen Chape
