How to Recover Deleted or Lost Videos on Mac?
Videos, alike photos, are the traces of our precious recollections. Still, the video is a digital data and it is not easy to avoid video loss or deletion completely.
Most of the times, videos get deleted or go missing on Mac,
- By accidental deletion of video files or folders on OS X
- Wrongly formatting the video player or the storage media on Mac that holds video clips
- Digital recorder, camera or camcorder error while connecting to Mac machine
- Memory card error when trying to move files from card to Mac
- Ejecting memory card abruptly while watching or recording video on Mac
- Virus intrusion on storage drive where videos are saved
When videos files are deleted, their space will be marked as Deleted Data on the storage drive. When videos are lost their identity will be removed from the Mac file system. Thus, the Mac OS X file system hides deleted or lost videos.
So, deleted or lost videos will be still present on the same storage drive but in an inaccessible state. But, once the deleted/lost videos are overwritten by new data, the video will be actually removed from the storage drive.
That's why you have chances to recover lost or deleted videos from Mac.
Note: Stop using your Mac computer drive soon after the data loss, to increase the possibility of video recovery on Mac.
