I own an Olympus 2040z. A couple of weeks ago my 8 year old son accidently deleted pictures from the memory card. Is it possible to retrieve them using TTPro or possible Disk Utility? I am assuming chances are slim but thought I would ask.
Thanks,
Ryan

Never had the misfortune to need or use these, but there seem to be quite a few:

I stopped at page 3 of my Google search....
If it makes any difference, I've read good revues on Photorescue (1st link).

Whatever you do, stop using the card immediately - any further photos taken on the card will overwrite the erased data, and then you cannot recover anything. I had good results using one of the PC-only (at the time) utilities - only needed to rescue a few, so was able to use the trial version. Definitely worth a shot!

Sorry I haven't responded sooner. I have been away.
kps, I downloaded the demo version of data rescue. The good news is that it recovered my pictures!!! The bad news is it is going to cost me 30 dollars.
Thanks, I didn't know programs like these existed.

I have to say that when I inadvertantly erased my hard drive of all photos I have ever taken, Data Rescue was the best $30 I ever spent!
Got back the lot, in a variety of resolutions, but got 'em back, none the less.

What's thirty bucks compared to precious memories...
Glad it worked...

i used ProSoft Data Rescue II to recover photos off a memory card that was corrupted
wouldn't recommend anything else but that
it saved my butt a number of times
including when i needed to recover EVERYTHING off of a corrupted hard drive before i sent it into apple

Above all, I would recommend not getting into a position where you have to recover stuff...
