I had the exact same thing happen a few years ago - I lost all almost all of my baby pics of Josie - thankfully I was good about printing them back then. Anywho - I totally feel your pain so I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for ya! And girl good luck with the iPad - my kids LOVE it - they make the funniest videos - I should share one on the blog sometime - they are hilarious!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03765912501756304480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128318301936521443.post-54231077936073817632013-01-29T23:19:30.931-05:002013-01-29T23:19:30.931-05:00Ugh, I'm so sorry.

I have to admit I never did it before but am more diligent about it now. It was just some dust in the fan and it is working perfectly but you never know. I love Apple products and have never really had issues with any of mine but things do happen and it is better to be safe. Glad you are up and running again but I'm sorry you lost so much :(Anna@Directions Not Includedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16739574823963256094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128318301936521443.post-89650309682537222272013-01-29T22:00:39.723-05:002013-01-29T22:00:39.723-05:00Andrea, My laptop crashed last week too but luckil...Andrea, My laptop crashed last week too but luckily they were able to save most of my data. I just signed up for Carbonite so if it happens again I can retrieve all my files and pictures.

Probably the best birthday ever! But I will certainly be more careful too.

We have been meaning to get an external hard drive and just need to do it. This is what makes me so nervous. I hope you get your photos back - that is the most important thing. Keep us posted. I do love our Mac products and they do have great service - hopefully they come through for you.Holly Gruszkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06562245870313515897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128318301936521443.post-40910184136588759852013-01-29T08:19:02.741-05:002013-01-29T08:19:02.741-05:00Oh my that is a total bummer, keeping my fingers c...Oh my that is a total bummer, keeping my fingers crossed you can recover those photos! We recently (as in last week) converted to an imac desktop after years of using a PC and I am still trying to figure it all out, but so far I LOVE it! Thankfully I am married to a guy who regularly backs up our hard drive, but just the same, the day we got our mac, the PC was infected with a virus and I had 36 hours of being afraid we wouldn't be able to recover all of our files, it all worked out, so hope the same is true for you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10942704410174876211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128318301936521443.post-85176528610817337442013-01-29T07:23:27.926-05:002013-01-29T07:23:27.926-05:00Oh my goodness..... my heart is in my stomach.

Enjoy your new iPad...... Ashtyn does amazing artwork on hers and she just recreated our entire house floorplan with furniture and fabrics for a school project. I'll have to find out the apps she is using and send them to you..... you (and the kids) will work magic!Crissy @ House of Marlowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09890077806440478720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128318301936521443.post-4819257834126776322013-01-29T00:10:58.716-05:002013-01-29T00:10:58.716-05:00So sorry, Andrea!

I'm horrified to hear this happened to you….makes me want to stay up late tonight and upload every last photo. Thanks for sharing your story….I'm definitely going to get an external hard drive too.
