i got this too on a mid-2012 macbook pro; the latest version of photorec doesn't work on my 64-bit cpu, but here's how i got it running: 1) get homebrew (just google this, it's straightforward) 2) open a terminal and run 'brew install testdisk' (no quotes) 3) in terminal, do 'sudo photorec' and enter your system password then it should work as shown in the video. he's using version 7.1, which supports 64-bit cpus, and that's the version that gets installed if you install using homebrew. won't find out if it actually worked for another hour and a half; here's hoping

It's easy to miss just one tiny thing from the video. At what stage does it 'fail' for you?

This was awhile ago, I don't remember.

:( Well, it does work. If you try again, put up what stage went wrong, and hopefully you'll get help.

Waaay to complicated for most of us.

It may be complicated, but like romances, it's complicated. Take time, do it, it's worth it. The video DOES get it right, which is a better option than not getting it right.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank you! This video was easy to follow and yes the terminal screen can be scary, for a mac user like me! At first I could not read the card in any device or on the terminal, so I had to formatted in order to recover all the photos. Once formatted, it showed in the terminal and I was able to follow the steps and recover al my files, even the ones I had deleted because they were blurry! It took almost two hours and it was totally worth it. I suggest to save the files into an external drive once all the recovery has been completed, because once you log out, you would not be able to see the recovery folders. We owe Dean a beer or two! ;)
