The correct operation after doing anything in the computer, would do backups with time Machine at the end or perhaps we doubled our internal HD, but the reality is different, almost nobody does this and when the calamity occurs, we panic at the possibility of lose our files. Here are several ways to prevent that from happening:
The first alternative is by , for this I mention Data Rescue II, with him you can rescue all your files, as has already happened to people who lose them from the external disk, for example. But like everything in life, it has pros and cons, a disadvantage would be that it recovers even things that you no longer remembered or that you are not interested in recovering, the structure of files and names is completely ruined, a totally normal issue, and in addition to this, we need another Mac and the physical disk to access the program, for a price of $ 99.
Another alternative way is through another installation of OS X, This way is not as orthodox as the previous one, but you don't lose anything by reading either, it is suitable for people who have more than one Mac at hand, having a skewer USB with a clean installation of LeopardTherefore, if there are problems with the internal disk, we can start from the skewer and transfer all the information from the internal disk to an external one.
If you do not have enough free space, to create participation, the solution is to go to the trick of the skewer that we have already mentioned. If you have another Mac available, it will only be enough to connect the broken one by means of Firewire to mount drives without having the system started.

Very good, the truth is that there is nothing like having Time Machine, I do not remember what I did to the iMac about 2 or 3 months ago that I had to format it because it was impossible to enter my user, the good thing is that I had everything in Time Machine, so I went to eat quietly knowing that later I would import all my data and it would be as before formatting, and it was.
We also have Super Duper! that is capable of being complemented with Time Machine, we are going something exquisite the 2 together, you can enter your Mac using an external disk.
By the way does anyone know any way to recover data from an iPod? I would say that Data Rescue has the possibility but my story is different, xD my first Apple product was a 5G video iPod that obviously if I did not have a Mac, it was formatted as for Windows, the fact is that when I bought my first Mac what I did was to format it for Mac, the fact is that I don't know if now I could recover the data that I lost, which were some photos and such when it was formatted for Windows.

because I don't have a backup of my files …… please help thanks
Hi, if the problem is that the Finder is blocked, try to force the Finder to quit. It would be helpful if you explained what you have done so that those who want to help you can understand the reasons why this happens to you.
Hi guys!! I was wondering, what happens is that I turn off my mac while installing updates, and now it doesn't want to let me start, I get a box with several languages telling me to restart it, every time I turn it on. The technician told me that the operating system had been damaged, and the disk must be formatted, but I did not put anything in the time machine, how can I recover my information ??? before formatting ??? I appreciate answers !!

There is some possibility of recovering a macbook pro that was stolen from us but the icould or any type of tracking program was not activated, only the serial number is available.
I doubt you can get that MacBook back, sorry.
