A digital camera with SD storage can connect to your Mac OS X computer using different set of protocols. Visibly, the camera communicates with computer in two different modes: 'Disk Drive' mode and 'Digital Camera' mode, however, the Mac OS X applications, like iPhoto and Image Capture, are unable to recognize the camera in any of the modes. But in worse conditions, a Mac OS X user may find that when it switches the camera to access it in 'Digital Camera' mode, it is no longer accessible.
Such circumstances require you to reformat the SD/MMC card and restore the deleted photos from a backup or using a Mac Photo Recovery utility. Let's exemplify such probable events using a realistic instance. A Mac OS X user uses a digital camera with a SD//MMC card. It tries to view the camera's contents in 'Digital Camera' mode, but cannot do so. Viewing the camera by iPhoto and/or Image Capture seems that the application cannot access the digital camera.
The above incident can occur if the Mac OS X user switches to 'Digital Camera' mode, immediately after using it in 'Disk Drive' mode. Another liability is that the user connects and reads the associated SD/MMC card through the USB card reader or FireWire and then tries to view the camera in 'Digital Camera' mode.To solve the problems, such as discussed above, Mac OS X user needs to restore the SD/MMC card to its initial state.
This is feasible by reformatting the SD/MMC card in camera itself and then restoring the lost/deleted photos from the last available backup. There are situations, when a Mac OS X might observe backup being unavailable or insufficient enough to restore whole of the photographs and other digital files.
To deal with such problems, a Photo Recovery for Mac can prove to be a handy application. Mac Photo Recovery programs are specifically designed to restore lost digital files from a crashed or formatted digital storage media cards and cameras on a Mac computer.
