Missing Patmore Pictures Found! Hooray!

DSC_0693

 The last couple of days a litter is with us I take a lot of photographs.  Mostly because I'm trying to have plenty of images to write their farewell tales, but also so I can have some content to fill the days until the next batch arrives.

After the Patmore Four had left, I imported about 500 photos, then deleted them from the SD card. After ejecting the card, my computer froze up, and those images were lost. I was pretty heartbroken at the time because I knew there a couple of gems in that batch, but felt there was nothing I could do, so I had to accept this loss and move on.

Because I take a squillion photos, my computer hard drive is always maxed out, and when it reaches that point, it starts behaving strangely. It froze up the other day while I was working in iPhoto, and when I restarted it, it automatically began repairing the photo library, and those lost images suddenly reappeared!

I had forgotten what I had lost, but when I saw these yesterday, I remembered why I was so sad.  Just look at these cutie pies!

  1. Yay!
    I love how the same toy or bed becomes something totallly different to them. Once a cubby, not always a cubby.
    They're so creative!

  6. Sooooo glad you got the photos back! In case it ever happens again, there are a million free utilities out there that can recover photos deleted from an SD card, assuming nothing has over-written them by the time you try to recover them. So the moment you think they're lost, just Google for a recovery utility. And don't put the SD card into anything else until you find an appropriate utility and follow the instructions for it.

  7. Oh, my. I see why you were so crushed to lose the photos at the time. The ones you've shared are definite winners, and that video is hilarious. Kitten-go-round, indeed! XD What a bunch of sillies! Any updates on these sweeties?

  8. What a lovely surprise! Wish I was a kitten, so I could try the Kitten-Go-Round: it looks like a lot of fun.

  9. You need to get an external harddrive if you don't have one. NEED to. (But whatever you do, don't get a Western Digital. I recommend Toshiba Red. It was recommended to me by the tech guy where I had my WDs repaired...)

    Also: squee!! The little video, hehe. "You spin me 'round like a record, round round..."

    1. Things are backed up on multiple external drives, I am just slow to pull them off my laptop because I like to have them handy. it fills up fast because I take thousands of photos of each litter and videos too.

  14. Carbonite backup allows for instant retrieval of photos or data. only about $100 for 2 years and unlimited data storage. I have too many precious memories to risk to loss in fire, theft or malfunction. Your site is so cute!!!
