Word Document Recovery for Mac
Few digital mistakes are worse than deleting a file and realizing, just moments after, that actually, you really, really wanted to keep it. If you don’t have a backup version, you may think that you’re up the proverbial creek. Fortunately however, no is truly permanent in the digital age.
When you empty the trash on your Mac you delete the file. however the file leaves a sort of impression or empty space in the disks directory. As long as you don’t save or add anything to that empty space, you can easily recover the lost file. The lesson here is that if you realize you want to recover a file immediately after you’ve deleted it, stop using the disk on which that file was stored.
Alright, so that’s the general advice, but now you want to know more about the nitty gritty details, right? Here’s a quick run down of what you need to know when it comes to the art of knowing how to recover lost files on a Mac.
Maybe the easiest long term solution to go about recovering important Word documents is to install uFly Data Recovery. This software offers a suite of services including retrieving lost files, keeping your Mac clean, reducing boot and loading times through optimization and improving your security.
uFly Data Recovery software will copy recovered files to a separate, recovery disk. This isn’t like the old days however, when you needed a specially formatted recovery disk–now any flash drive, iPod, Mac etc. can become your impromptu recovery destination!
When scanning your computer for recovery options you are given the option of Quick and Full Scans. Quick Scans are good for recent mistakes involving a single deleted file, whereas Full scans are for more extensive projects like an erased drive.
Keep in mind that the more involved the project is the longer its going to take uFly Data Recovery to find and recover the files. The software works in two waves; the first of which searches for salvagable data, while the second does the actual recovery. Depending on how old or hidden a particular file is, it may take quite awhile to get it fully recovered.
Lastly, when you do recover your files, you may find that they’re hard to find on your computer. This is because when you recover a file or disk, uFly Data Recovery is recovering the information within the file, which, for reasons we will not bore you with, often does not include the file’s name.
A way to find recently recovered items, especially picture and video files, is to import them into media applications like iTunes or iPhoto, as they will give you a visual representation of the file.
To see recovered Word documents, you can use Spotlight to search for keywords in the text of the document itself.
So there you go. This is just a quick crash course on how you can recover Word documents and other files with software like Mackeeper. Things can, of course, get a lot more complicated if you’re into that. Perhaps the best advice is to simply take the extra few minutes and always make a back up file.
