Cool New Apps in the Apple Apps Store - By: Nash Owens

It’s the holiday season and many folks are doing a major portion of their holiday shopping online. Many brick-and-mortar businesses have a click-and-order website to enhance their sales potential. What could be easier than sitting in the comfort of your home or home office and surfing the web to get all of your holiday chores done? Should you be away from home and realize that you still have to get a gift for a family member, it’s not a problem. You can use your laptop, netbook or smartphone to take care of those last minute purchases.

If you are a Mac user, you will certainly want to peruse the Apple App Store to find those perfect gifts for friends and family or even for yourself. The App Store has a huge inventory of apps designed for your iMac, iPod and iPhone. There are several categories from which to choose. Not only are photo, music and video viewing apps available, but editing programs, also. Take that candid photo of your favorite uncle carving the turkey and enhance it, turning it into an award-winning masterpiece.

Unfortunately, there is no app to remind you to download those pictures to your computer. It happens every year; you take those great shots and some of them will be accidentally deleted from the media card before they are downloaded. Accidental file deletion also happens on the hard drive. Not only photos, but documents, spreadsheets, audio and video files are deleted by accident, and you might think that they are gone for good. Additionally, system corruption renders your files inaccessible.

Fortunately, there may be a solution to your problem. Many cool, new apps are available that assist with Mac data recovery. Data recovery software comes in a variety of flavors, from those specializing in one type of file recovery to programs that can recover virtually any file. If you have lost some photos on your media card, just plug it into the card reader, run the software and recover those precious memories. Files that had been stored on a secondary internal drive or on an external hard drive can also be recovered easily. These apps can definitely turn a holiday disaster into a joyous reunion, with your files, that is.

Many of these apps are designed by professionals who recover hard drive data as a specialty. However, because of restrictions set by the App Store rules, these programs might not be able to recover files in all situations. For example, they are not allowed to make changes to the main drive operating system, nor bypass it; therefore, many of these apps are light versions of more robust programs and allow you to get the feel of the software, buying the full version later, if necessary.
