My Canon camera froze while using an 8GB SD card to shoot an important event. After restarting, it prompted me to format the card. When I inserted it into my Mac (running macOS 10.13.6), it showed “The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer.” In Disk Utility, it appears as “uninitialized.” I’ve tried every method I could find, but nothing worked. The photos are extremely important, what should I do?
The best solution in this situation is to format your disk. However, you must recover the data on the disk before formatting, because formatting will erase all your data and make it very difficult to recover.
I recommend using professional data recovery software. I’ve used iBoysoft Data Recovery for Mac before — it’s a professional tool that can accurately scan and identify data on the disk. With just a few simple steps, I was able to recover my files. You can download iBoysoft Data Recovery for Mac and give it a try!
