  • restore iPhoto after HD died

    Posted by John Sutherland on April 29, 2005 at 3:26 am

    The HD in PowerBook died, I was able to recover a lot of stuff using Data Rescue, but my iPhoto libraries don’t seem to contain images. It lists all those jpegs, but they are all okb files, a few are alias’. Any thoughts?

    When this happened to me I was able to use iPhoto Extractor and got it back. It’s located at:

    Thannks, I tried that, but I’m still getting the same result. Maybe I’ll go back to Data Rescue and try and get those files again. Or maybe they’re all damaged beyond repair… ouch.
