Discard Activity by mistake - can I recover it?

hi Nick,

You could try some file recovery software but of the many files I have tried to repair that have been recovered, I have yet to have a successful outcome.

I am happy to give it a go though if you can recover it.

I'm trying to recover the file - trying different recovery software. I'll let you know if I'm successfull.

Mike,
Do you know of any recovery software I can run on a mac. The program I tried was free download but they wanted 99 dollars to recover the file. A lot of money when the file may not actually work!
Nick

Not for a Mac I don't sorry.

Not for a Mac I don't sorry.

I got a view of the file and it seemed to be full of zeros. So no data content
I won't do that again!

Hi,
I just finished an activity - stopped the timer and hit the discard rather than the save. Is there any way to recover the activity?

Nick

you can try this but there is a low chance of success
