Hey all, i've just lost some important pictures off of a camera memory card that I wanna try and get back, anyone know of any free/trial software I could use to try and help me with that?
If it's off a memory card and we're not talking about discs, then you're likely out of luck. The only way you can get files off a normally functioning card is if you haven't emptied out the wastebasket yet. If it's a dodgy card, the chances of recovery are even slimmer.
I've had good results using PhotoRescue with my Sony MSPD on a few occasions. It is not free ($29), but as with other programs mentioned here, you can download the demo to see what files you will be able to recover before paying for the full version. Hope this helps.
Try Photorec, part of the TestDisk suite

It's command line based but quite straightforward. It's free and is one of the best file carving tools available, paid or otherwise.
First thing to do is stop using the Mac as the chances of your files being overwritten increase as time goes on.
