I wonder if anyone knows, of any good software that will recover files or documents from a Mac (even when the Mac has been switched off if they could please share or give a link I would be really grateful.
 

Most important thing is to immediately stop using your computer. Every time you do something you are overwriting the very data you are wanting to recover.


Yes, there are tons of great software to do this; from free to alot.
A good middle ground for the normal computer user would be something simple like:

I use Kali to recovery lost files, but that may be a little more complex than you would like.
