Numbers is a spreadsheet application program developed by Apple Inc. It is a component of iWork productivity suite (like MS Office in Windows). IWork also contain Keynote (presentation programs) and Pages (word processing program). Numbers 3 is the latest version of numbers that runs on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and 10.5 Leopard only. It has a more usable interface understandable to general users and offering better control on the appearance and presentation of tables.

Numbers is the most widely used spreadsheet program and it is the main competitor of Microsoft Excel.

You can also add the multimedia files in it converted using iTunes. It is treated as most reliable spreadsheet program ever before.

Though it is more reliable application software but data loss can happen in any software and no one is completely safe. Like any other software, data loss can happen in Numbers also. There are several possible reasons of data loss in Numbers including Accidental deletion, software malfunction, operating system corruption, virus attack and hardware failure like head crash and inaccessible hard drive.

If any of these conditions come true, these may loss your data. In this event of data loss, you may loss your important data like employee worksheet, your link sheet, and many other data stored in Numbers. In these circumstances, you need for data recover software in order to recover the lost data.

You can perform this task using Mac data recovery software. These software are specially designed to work with Mac operating system. These software uses advanced searching algorithms to search and locate the lost data and then restore them in their original format.

There is a wide range of data recovery mac software available. Among these software, Stellar Phoenix Macintosh Data Recovery software is very powerful data recovery software that can recover lost data from Mac operating system in all possible cases of data loss. Along with the Numbers, this software can recover other data also form Mac computer.

Mac data recovery software helps to recover lost data

Several people use different kind of operating systems according to their requirements. Whatever the system you use, your valuable data should be protected.

In Mac, each file has two forks- a resource fork and a data fork. You may see them as a single file, but this is the technique the Mac OS works. The data fork contain actual file and resource fork contain structure the file, icon and resources.

Mac and its unique filing system are quite constant and problems are uncommon. But there is a threat all the time; every OS has its problems and vulnerabilities (mainly OS/X). Actually, OS/X is one of the most unstable systems of Macintosh laboratories in years, rendering users susceptible to problems like virus attacks. One day you will need Mac Data Recovery.

Most of the viruses are written to destroy the Wintel systems, but there are some that are specially aimed at Mac. Some viruses are intended on corrupting your resource forks and some at your data forks. You would remain always at risk of data loss. Some viruses are harmless but most of the viruses can corrupt your data and also delete them permanently from your hard drive.

In case, when you computer fails it becomes very critical situation for you. Data is the lifeblood of every organization or individual computer user and it may get lost due to system failure. In this critical situation, you need for data recovery mac solutions to recover the lost data. You can select the solution according to the type of data loss occurred. In case of hardware crash, you can use Data Recovery Service and in case of logical failure, you can use data recovery software.

Master Directory Block and Volume Header Corruption in Mac Computers and Mac Data Recovery

Master Directory Block and Volume Header are the most important part of the HFS and HFS+ file system in Mac OS X operating system. Both these are used for arranging and managing the files stored on the computer hard drive.
Master Boot Block
Master Directory Block (MDB), sometimes also known as Volume Information Block, hold the information about all the volumes. This information is written in the MDB when the volume is initialized. Subsequently, whenever the volume is mounted, file manager examine the information in the MDB and copies some required information into the VCB (volume control block). VCB is a private DS maintained by the file manager in computer memory.
Volume Header
Each HFS volume has a volume header of 1024 bytes in the beginning of the volume. It is located on the sector 2 of a Mac volume. It is equivalent to the MDB. The Volume Header stores a wide range of data about the volume itself, for instance the size of allocation blocks on the drive, a timestamp the shows when the volume is formed and some other volume structures like Extent overflow file or Catalog File. Volume Header is located always in the same place.
MDB and Volume Header are the most important data structure of any volume in Mac OS X operating system as they hold complete information related to files, volumes and also hold catalog file. Catalog file is most important file that helps operating system to find and access the particular file requested by the user. If any kind of problem occurs with Master Directory Block or Volume header, it may cause serious problem of data loss. Corruption and damage are problems that most probably happen with MDB and Volume Header.
Master Directory Block and Volume Header Corruption are the most common reasons of data loss in Mac operating system. If these get corrupted, operating system fails to find and display the files. There are several reasons of MDB and Volume Header corruption. Some common reasons are:
 Human error
 Partition table corruption
 Partition sectors damaged in disk
 Catalog file corruption
 Catalog file’s node corruption
 Internal file system error
 Extent files damaged
 Virus infection
 Unexpected system failure
If any of these situations occurs, it may corrupt Master Directory Block and Volume Header. In this situation, general user commonly can not identify that what is the real problem and what solution I should use. You should always keep in mind that whenever your system display an error message “file *.* not found”, your MDB and Volume Header have corrupted. This is the worst scenario of data loss. In these conditions you need to recovery your data and Mac data recovery software can help you to overcome this problem.
data recovery mac software is the software that can recover data from damaged or corrupted MDB and Volume Header of Mac OS X volumes. Mac Data Recovery software use advanced algorithms to search and located the lost data in Mac operating system. These software display the search results in easy to access and find tree format. You can select the required data from this search result and can save them to specified location.
