Apple / Mac Data Recovery

Data recovery for storage used with Mac systems

Apple computers can experience the same underlying storage problems as other systems: accidental deletion, formatting, file-system corruption, failed internal or external storage and devices that are no longer readable. The correct recovery path depends on the affected storage and its condition.

Common Mac data-loss situations

• Files or folders become inaccessible.
• The Mac no longer starts because the storage device cannot be read.
• External storage is not detected normally.
• Files were accidentally deleted or the storage was formatted.
• A partition or file system is damaged or inaccessible.
• An internal or external storage device is showing signs of failure.

What to avoid

• Avoid unnecessary writes to the affected storage.
• Do not initialise or reformat the original device.
• Avoid repeated recovery attempts that modify the source media.
• Do not open a mechanical hard drive.

Assessment process

1. Contact DataRecovery.lk and describe the Mac model, storage type and symptoms.
2. Submit the relevant storage device or system for assessment where required.
3. The case is evaluated for available data-recovery options.
4. An assessment and quotation are provided.
5. Recovery work proceeds only if appropriate and agreed.
