my guy you are awesome, it seemed so much more confusing than it was but you explained it fairly well, i recovered all my files from an SD card i had accidently erased
Thank you, bro! Just one tip for everyone, I wanted to recover the files to the external drive, that's why later, after copying the files, I had to mount it back again to show the external drive and put the files back there.
If TestDisk can't see your SD card on the disk selection screen, it's most likely because TestDisk doesn't like your integrated SD card reader (this happened to me). Simply use a USB card reader instead (don't forget to unmount the partition containing your files before running "sudo testdisk") and all will be right with the world. Thanks :)
you are the closest one I found to recover files on a Mac. problem is you using an sd card and I'm trying to recover from trash in the internal drive of the Mac. I have searched everywhere trying to figure out how. I have gotten no where. can anyone help?
Thank you SO much for making this tutorial! I was able to recover all my videos and I am so relieved. I don't have to cry about it now :)

Were your videos backed up in iCloud? Or if they’re not backed up its possible too? I deleted videos that aren’t backed up. Currently crying internally.
Hi i am trying myself to understand but i guess this is only for advanced IT gurus? I downloaded Testdisk and a page of unreadable signs appear i am sure an IT guru understands this but not me ....any help? I also selected the disk i want to eject by following the video but it doesn t let me eject it and now what? I am studying all kind of explanations for over the last week
Hi! I got sudo testdisk running, but when it got to the list of the disks, choosing the disk led to "No Partition Available". What should I do? I want to recover the files deleted from the Bin. Thanks.
can you please tell me how to do i deleted my files from mac internal drive? , not external . please can you tell me command to recovery file from internal drive. Thank you
You are a life saverrrrrr!!!!! Omg I literally almost had a mental break down a whole trip worth of images.😢but closely following directions I got it back thank you sooo much 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
hi there, thank you so much for sharing this recovery method. just wondering can this method be able to recover notes which has been deleted from the trash bin as well?
Thank you! This helped a lot. Deleted my vlog and was about to edit it just to realize my folder was empty. For some reason, most of my log files were corrupted (after recovery) but I had also had proxies. yes, the video won't be in 4k but that's okay, atleast I have something to edit.
wow thanks, haven't got it to work just yet because you did an usb and I'm trying to do my hard drive. but it definitely seems to be working and it is free. thanks. I added you to my playlist and subscribed. .
He Ben, great video... also had the same problem as my deleted files were on the main disk.. I plugged in an external drive, however it's asking me to unmount the disk with the lost data, which is not possible if it's the main hard drive I'm using 😂.. thanks in advance and really appreciate your video
This is very confusing, how did you download the homebrew and where did you get the section that it seemed as if you were typing codes? Don't we have a direct link we can download from ?
Hello, how do I alter this to work for my internal drive? (So far the sudo testdisk command only works when an external disk is attached). When it's not attached, and I run the command, I get "No harddisk found"
hi , thanks for this video , but for me i've been deleting a folder from my descktop on my system SSD , using macbook pro 2015 running on catalina 10.15.7 ,, any help out there ?
Thank you Ben... I am following the video step by step. My case is such that I have to recover the file in the Apple SSD internal storage. Does this work too? It prompts me to quit after choosing [Create]. Help!

I copied files from source folder, selected the destination folder and hit C, it said files copied successfully, 0 failed -- but I don't see the files in the Documents folder... then, I tried the same thing again but saved it to Desktop this time, again copy was successful but still don't see the files in Desktop destination folder -- any suggestions?
hi! i got to the last few steps but instead of showing each of the pictures, its only giving me the folders i deleted. so when i do shift c and paste it in a different folder, it doesnt work. any help pls? ):
it worked amazingly however, when i clicked on the video it was just a black screen for the entirety of the video and i used a website to uncorrupt it and still didn't work. Did i do something wrong or is there something I can do?
if this has happened only to this file, it's very likely currupted, and there's no much you can do about it, i'm sorry. It has happened to me too, but it was only in the top-line of pixels; the rest was just fine
Ich versuch schon seit Stunden meine gelöschten Dateien wieder herzustellen doch irgendwie kann ich brew nicht installieren da wird mir so viel angezeigt und ich kenn mich garicht aus. kannst du mir erklären wie man das herunterlädt bitte ?

Hey ben! Awesome content. Found the folders and all but do i need to paste where it once was? cause when i paste them in documents (they weren´t there) it keeps copying but y cant find the files anywhere
hmm they should appear wherever you set as the destination. maybe its a permission issue? make sure your terminal process can write to wherever youre saving

I’ve been trying to use Testdisk to recover files on my Mac but I can’t unmount the drive I want to search because I’m using it on my laptop . Can I still recover the deleted files without unmounting or is there something else I can do ?
im trying to follow your steps, as a noob, and when i type in sudo testdisk, and the password icon shows, i type in the password for my laptop but then it just says command not found. any advice? thanks.
Man, same happened to me with 100GB videos and it fucking worked! The only one that did and I have tried so many bullshit paying applications... THANK YOU!❤
what you can't do? I can help you, i'm pretty in this kind of stuff (i'm not a professional programmer, i just have fun massing with this kind of stuff)
I've tried this method to recover data from the internal storage of my MacBook it did not turn out positive, I wasn't able to recover my files, however, that is not it when I run the command sudo testdisk, I'm unable to see the computer's storage however when I insert a thumb drive, I see that it has 50GB of data on it, however, I only bought it yesterday and there is nothing on it. Please help someone, Thank you

Does this work if the files were on my macs drive? I had something on my Mac directly (not an external disc)
I dont think so, because you cant unmount it. I had the same problem. If some1 has a workaround, please let us know!

"No harddisk found
You need to be root to use TestDisk".
