Mac Data Recovery Guru overview

Mac Data Recovery Guru is the most modern, the most technologically advanced, and the easiest to use Mac data recovery software available. We would not state that if we could not back it up. But back it up we can, and instantly and risk free. Download the Free Demo to be able to quickly see it in action for yourself. This shows you previews of your personally deleted files, proving its effectiveness.

Our Mac Data Recovery results are 100% money-back guaranteed. We stake our reputation on this.

Mac Data Recovery Guru works by employing content-based file scanning. This is a different approach to traditional forms of data recovery which attempt to repair the device in question, which when they go wrong will write over the data you were trying to retrieve in the first place. Our method opens the device in read-only mode, and will search through the entire device for files, or pieces of files, that are present. It reassembles the data it finds into regular files on the fly. Sound complicated? It is, but after years of refinement it appears to the user as a seamless process, and is as easy as browsing through your regular files in the Finder. In fact, it looks almost the same if you look at the screenshots.

Within a month of purchasing this, I needed to recover files off an SD card that had accidentally been deleted (the easiest kind of recovery! Nothing had even been written to the card afterward). After at least a half hour scan, Mac Data Recovery Guru claimed to have found hundreds of files, including scores of videos, but none of which corresponded to the file sizes of the expected media. When recovered, none of the media files were usable. Not a single one. Blank videos with 8GB of garbage data that couldn't be fixed even using dedicated video file reconstruction software (I tried several other solutions as well, attempting to extract even broken video streams...nothing remotely usable). I ran through every standard, recommended Mac data recovery app I could, all of which failed (though one at least recovered the correct file names and sizes pretty easily...the files contained no usable data). Then I tried an oddly named utility found elsewhere online (stupid dangerous, I know!), and not only did it recover the correct file names, the videos were restored without any issue at all. Within minutes. Perfectly playable files with audio and visuals. No issues. That said, Mac Data Recovery Guru did find a number of jpeg and raw still images that had been deleted (and I would have expected, overwritten!) from more than 2 years ago. So that's pretty impressive. Conclusion: for recovering accidentally deleted media files on an other pristine SD card, this is clearly worth 0 stars. For recovering images...5 stars! As an all-inclusive file recovery utility, 1 star. I really need something that works with more than just images.

A complete waste of money. There are Data Recovery apps that work waaaaay better than this one. I'm rather angry they promised so much, but gave back too little. I want my money back. SERIOUSLY UNSATISFIED! DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!

Massively helpful in saving a very important file, and the developer was extremely responsive in helping me (as the file I was recovering was rather large!) Worked well, quickly, sanely.

Some odds and ends about this software and its developer: • The developer goes by three different names: (a) FelixDev (b) MacDaddy (c) Ben Slaney. • His web page at http://felixdev.com offers a program called FileAngel. It is my belief that this is an old rendition of Mac Data Recover (Guru). Therefore, don't bother with it. • The developer's web page at http://macdaddy.io provides minimal information about Mac Data Recovery (Guru). He has a much better page, with more information and support at: http://macosxfilerecovery.com I'm hoping the developer can consolidate these various resources in order to avoid confusion.
