It’s 4 years old. I wiped and installed according to the links the guy at Apple sent me. I’m running the latest OS version. its also weird that it won’t mount my LaCie drive, yet it will load the drive I’m using for time machine backups. My iMac will mount the LaCie though.

Hi, my MacBook Pro keeps coming up with a connect to wifi and saying it needs a critical update. It won’t let you do this and I took it to Apple and they suggested wiping and starting again. Which I did! it still won’t start properly sometimes I have to restart in safe mode but then it still might take a dozen times of restarting to even get in. it’s doing my head in. Any suggestions?

The card is only 3 months old. And yep the firmware is up to date. they are in America, is there one you recommended in Australia?

Hi Brian, I definitely had a card in the camera at the time. I didn't touch the card. The only thing I changed was the battery. Im missing around 1500 files. I am so frustrated as I have no idea where these files have gone and none of the recovery programs have been able to recover them. ?

Hi Brian, in desperation I brought licences for both Wondershare Recoverit and disk drill. Both said they recovered 17,000 images. It recovered images taken last year in Nov and Dec but none of the the ones that I am actually trying to recover. I know this sounds weird, but I changed my battery before the musical began, would that have somehow???caused me to lose those images.

The one Im trying I haven't brought the license for as I was hoping to see the previews and see if it actually recovered the ones I need or not.

Im having trouble with any of the recovery programs showing me previews of the .cr3 files. Do you know of a one that does or how to fix this?

Yep, got a cfexpress one just now. any recommendations for the best recovery software?

I found a card reader for the cf express but in the meantime, is it possible to run a recovery with the card still in the camera?

Hi Brian, I have messed up big time. Is there a way to run a recovery program using the camera as the source? I dont have a card reader for the CF express card as yet and cant actually find one online. Is there a way to do this? Cheers, Christy.

Doing that only gave me under 1gb of extra space.
