Photo corrupted, repair software for MacBook Pro?

I have transferred photos from an old PC to a MacBook Pro.  I noticed in the PC some of the photos are corrupted which ends up the same on my Mac after I transferred them.  They are photos for a large family book that I am working on.
I need to know if there is (preferably free) software to repair/restore photos for a Mac?
Any thoughts are appreciated before I back up my Mac pictures/files on an external hard-drive.  I don't want to lose any of the photos.
Thanks!

Do not waste money on Disk Warrior. First of all, it doesn't fix corrupt files at all, ever. It recovers damaged volume directories. Second, if you have adequate backups, you'll never need to recover a damaged directory, so you'll never need Disk Warrior. In this situation, it will do you no good at all. Your only hope is to restore the damaged files from a backup. If you don't have one, there's nothing to do. You will inevitably lose all data that isn't backed up, sooner or later.
Linc, Cannot argue with that at all.
I have an enormous number of support calls where Disk Warrior resolved or even saved a corrupted drive or RAID. Almost always this is necessitated only because there were insufficient backups in place. And Linc is absolutely correct, DW does not do anything except repair and modify directories. I have owned Disk Warrior for 10 years or more and have not used it for more years than I can remember. I maintain backups of everything and always find it easier to revert to a backup than to attempt repairs of a problem RAID/drive/directory/set of files.
In your case, I would not rule it out if you owned it, but would not spend money on it now. If you cannot go to the source PC and try to recover these files, then your copying corrupted file to a different operating system has negligible chance of repairing them.

    Hi..
    Both Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac and ClamXav are recomended and both are free.

  • HP Print Software for MacBook Pro and Windows 7 gone awry on HP OfficeJet Pro 8600

    Almost one year ago today I wrote a post about my first problem with HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 N911.  Today I write my last.
    I have an HP OJP 8600, with option Tray 2 included, and auto feed included.  My system test computers are:
    1.  Apple MacBook Pro, OS X 9.5, HP software is the only 3rd party software.
    2.  HP Laptop, Windows 7.
    The OJP wireless radio gave up, so I cannot run it wirelessly.  It is connected by ethernet to my router.  All five of my computers can use.  All of the functions of the printer are usable.  For example: it prints, it scans, it copies, it faxes.  All functions working.  My problem is with the HP software download to the Apple and to the HP Laptop.
    I would like to be able to use all of the feature settings when I print.  But alas, I cannot.  Both the Apple and the HP Laptop have a similar appearing window that opens when you choose to print something.  In theory, you are supposed to be able to control a range of paper types and quality, print type and quality, and (in my case with the two trays) what tray to use to select the paper.
    I regret neither of the computers perform these functions.  And all of the mistakes that I find on the Apple computer I find on the HP Laptop Windows 7 computer.
    I don't have the time to test every combination.  But I think the table below will help you get an idea of what the problem is with the software that HP sends offshore for maintenance.
    The results of the paper quality selection, the print quality selection, and the tray availability are as follows:
    PAPER              PRINT QUALITY                         TRAY AVAILABILITY
    Plain Paper
    Plain Paper  DRAFT/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray              Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2
    Thick Paper  DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray         Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
    HP Bright    DRAFT/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray              Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2
    InkJet
    Other        DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray         Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
    HP Bright    DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray         Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
    Specialty
    Other        DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray         Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
    Card         DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray         Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
    Brochure
    HP Brochure  DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray         Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
    Other        DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray         Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
    In summary the new HP Print software for Apple and Windows 7 computers has identical programming mistakes on both operating systems.  Under no circumstances can I use the MAX DPI setting.  
    The user cannot use the features that are built in to the HP software because the paper selections override the locked tray, the print quality, and the unusually small list of HP selection of papers.
    It is time to invoke my warrenty rights.  There are too many systemic problems with the software and the device.  I don't have any more time to act as an unpaid system test analyst for HP.
    Who do I contact to use my warrenty before it runs out in a few weeks?

    Hi,
    Those are not programming mistakes, but those are limitations of the product, please check the printer specifications below:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02858465&tmp_track_link=ot_faqs/top_issues/en_u...
    As you may find under Paper-handling specifications > Paper tray capacities, Tray 2 only support Plain Paper.
    Maximum DPI is only only supported on Photo Paper, therefore those limitations are applicable.. these limitations are also listed on the Printing Specifications section above, Maximum DPI is listed as 4800 by 1200 dpi:
    Color print resolution: HP enhanced photo quality with Vivera inks (up to 4800 by 1200 dpi Optimized on HP Premium Plus photo papers with 1200 x 1200 input dpi)
    As well that can be find listed within the Print photos on photo paper or the Print borderless documents sections, you may simply search for Maximum DPI within the user guide as a reference:
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03026243.pdf
    Those are not an issues with the printer but those expected limitations fully meet the product specification.

  • What is the best temperature gauge software for MacBook Pro?

    My MacBook Pro (late 2011, i7 Quad 2.4 GHz, SSD, OS 10.8.5, 8 Gigs RAM) which I use for pro audio production has started stuttering while playing back audio a couple of times - only editing a stereo track with no plug-ins.  I thought it was my Glyph drive because my studio can get warm when the weather's hot in San Diego, even though I've never experienced this before.  However, I moved the current project to my internal SSD boot drive and it started again after using the computer for several hours.  I now think it's a heat issue effecting the laptop itself (it was 85 degrees F in my room).  I want to buy the best software for checking temperatures (CPU, drives, etc.) and am looking at both iStat Menus and Temperature Guage.
    Are there any recommendations for which is best (or if something else is better)?  I would rather pay more for software that won't cause me problems when I'm doing large mixes, etc. 
    Thanks!
    Robert

    They all access the same data, so one's as good as another. iStat Menus is good for displaying a variety of information in the menubar for convenient access. But if all you want are temperature readings then I would select Temperature Monitor 4.98.

  • Do I need internet security software for macbook pro

    When I purchase my new MacBook Pro from Bestbuy, it came with free internet security software that is Mac compatible.  Do I need it?

    I would not download and install any additional software if it was me...with a firewall in place, and good computing practices, the Mac OS X system does a great job of self-protection.  The info in Thomas's site is also a big help.
    Also, keep in mind that the worst of the worst are Norton and McAfee for Mac OS X systems, and MacKeeper is generally considered to be malware in itself...almost impossible to remove once installed because of the way it hides files that keep popping up on you.

  • HP1020 Download Software for MacBook Pro

    I have an HP1020.  I need to download the software so I can print from my MacBook Pro.  Apple told me to go online and download the software for HP1022.   I can't figure out how to do this and I don't know what "Lion" or "White Snow" or whatever is.  All I know is I need to print and I can't do this.  Could you please help me?  Thanks!
    This question was solved.

    So for this printer and this OS, all you need to do is download the drivers from Apple Software Update. Here is a document that should help guide you through...
    HP Products with Print Drivers Supported in OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, OS X 10.7 Lion, and Mac OS X 10...
    Let me know if you need more help.
    I am an HP employee.

  • Any suggestions on a good video editing software for MacBook Pro

    I have just joined the MacBook Pro community would like an idea for good video software options

    Also, compare the hardware specification (not just minimums) needed to actually
    use the video editing software; plus consider external storage options of huge
    capacity since most portable computers don't really have all that much storage.
    A few years ago some suggested Avid Media Composer as professional software
    but then in the same discussion, said the MacBook Pro may not be able to handle
    the demands of the application; and went on to suggest an Apple Mac Pro tower.
    Some software needs require further study prior to committing resources & funds
    to discover perhaps the product may/may not be adequate. Avid likely is still costly.
    Hopefully you can get a great editor with a few creative options, for a decent price.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Voice activated/transcription software for MacBook Pro?

    Can anyone recommend any voice activated and/or transcription software for my Mac Book Pro? I have interviews to do and transcribe!!
    Any help gratefully received....
    Thanks
    S

    Check http://www.roaringapps.com/ for alternatives, and Running Windows on a Mac, and Connecting it to Mac.
    Note, you posted to the 10.3 forum, which does not run on the MacBook Pro.   Yosemite software is still beta, and 10.6 software on Roaringapps is not complete.  Go to Apple menu -> About this Mac to verify which operating system you have.

  • AirPrint vs. Printer Software for Macbook Pro? Which one is best?

    I know I use Airprint for my mobile gadgets, but when setting up a new HP officejet printer in system prefs for my Macbook Pro and my Macbook Air, I have a choice between using Airprint as the driver OR using HP Printer Software specific to my printer as the driver.....which one is best to use?
    Thanks much for your help.

    Thank you for the response. I suppose I can try each format, but was hoping for a quick answer and possibly some information about differences between the two that I might not readily notice.
    I am trying airprint now and notice no difference in speed to print, but do notice that there are different printing choices in the print dialogue box.

  • Anti-virus software for MacBook Pro?

    Okay...seriously this may be the most ridiculous question out there...but can't find a **** solution to it ...so let it be ridiculous...or dumb? I just purchased a MacBook Pro...been using PC's all my life...and am wondering how the **** Macs are keeping our system healthy w/o an anti-virus software installed? How does that even work? Or does it not...and I should be afraid? I just discovered that my MacBook Pro does not have an anti-virus software as a standard....so am I suppose to search for one? Or is Mac way to cool to even deal with such? LET ME KNOW! Please. Thanks.

    Norak,
    I understand your concerns as I switched from Windows 2000 to Mac OS X in July 2005.
    There are three (3) well knows anit-virus products for Mac OS X. (I am sure there are others, I just don't know about them.) They are:
    1. Norton Anti-Virus. $70. Don't know if it supports Intel-based Macs.
    2. Intego VirusBarrier. $70. Universal binary.
    3. ClamXAV. $zero. Don't know if it supports Intel-based Macs.
    Before buying/installing any AV software, you should surf to:
    MacUpdate
    and
    VersionTracker
    and read people's comments about them. All three have weaknesses and the commercial ones have caused problems in the past.
    I have ClamXAV installed on my Power Mac, but I don't know if it works as it has never detected a virus. However, on my Windows computer, GriSoft's AVG only detected one virus-infected file a year.
    ,dave
    P.S. You probably also have questions about firewalls and spyware. Here are some answers.
    1. Firewall. The built-in firewall in Mac OS X is pretty good and very easy to configure. Its weakness is that it does not protect against outgoing transmissions (as Zone Alarm on Windows does). Little Snitch is software that performs this function.
    2. Spyware. Seems to be a non-existent problem on Mac OS X. There some software packages out there to address the problem.

    In General 3rd Party AV Software is Not Required as Mac OS X tends to look after itself.

  • Free softwares for MacBook Pro

    Hi all,
    This is the newbie again. I found that software for Mac is very expensive. I don't if you know any sites offer free software for Mac? I really want to install my MS Office but don't have the Mac version.
    Thanks again for your help

    "really want to install my MS Office but don't have the Mac version. "
    You can purchase Office 2004 Student and Teacher edition from Amazon for about $115. Very cheap, and there is no verification required to show that you are a student or teacher.
