It's amazing what turns up in the post around Christmas!
Big W catalogue arrived this morning with a 'photo services' type page
included (loose extra page).
"Ricoh Retrieve a Pic. The simple pre-paid image retrieval service.
Ricoh uses targeted hardware and software solutions to retrieve
incorrectly formatted, accidentally deleted or 'just plain lost' images
from your memory card. Retrieved images are saved to CD and returned to
you with your (in most cases) rejuvenated memory card. See in-store for
details. Conditions apply. $79.94 everyday low price." Section includes
outline drawings of smart media, secure digital, xD picture card,
compact flash and memory stick.
Also on this list there has been the following message: -
Hi everyone,
Thank you Garry, we down loaded photorescue immediately.
A friend of mine had this happen here in Perth just last week.
230 professional portraits loading and iPhoto crashed (possibly over
full HD or a dodgy memory card?).
Big panic. Urgent phone calls. Do we force quit or what?
We searched the HD with the finder and luckily they were there.
Whew! An anxious night while we checked and then the usual tut tut,
you should always back up lecture.
But I'll bet it happens again, as everyone in the studio is usually in
rush mode.

photorescue can be found via: -
<http://www.versiontracker.com/php/search.php?mode=basic&action=search&str=photorescue&plt%5B%5D=macosx&x=15&y=7>
copy & paste the url into one string if it gets split into two.
I've not tried these so cannot comment on their effectiveness or
application to your situation.
Hope this helps

Dear WAMUG,
Just hit a problem with iPhoto. I ran it and imported from my camera,
with "delete after import" checked. I went away and came back, it
appeared to have done the importing and said the camera had "no
photos". I was a bit shocked when the import only showed the three
oldest of the 22, and Last Import showed the same. I closed it and
reopened - and even these photos had disappeared off iPhoto.
I found that the disc was pretty full and got an error to that effect
when I tried to boot Preview as well. So I have now freed up half a
gig and re-run iPhoto - still missing those imports. Searched using
finder - managed to find the three which did show up initially on
iPhoto, dragged them in and all's well there.
I'm a bit shocked at this point and desperately want to retrieve the
other pictures if they exist. Any hints as to where I could look? Any
way of revealing hidden files on the memory card? Would iPhoto really
have deleted them off the camera if it had run out of disc space,
before writing to disc?
Thanks for any advice. Panicking,
David
