When you delete a file it's not actually gone. It's just hidden by the computer waiting to be overwritten by another file or whatever later on down the line. So if you just deleted something on your MacBook Pro, MacBook MacBook Air, whatever you've got, what I advise to do is stop using it stop using your Mac as much as possible. This will Be the best chances of not overriding the files and therefore having the best chance of getting them back in the future. So if you just deleted something stop using your Mac until you have a chance to run these three methods on your MacBook.
Method 1: So the first one is going to be using a professional file recovery service to actually recover your files from your MacBook not by yourself.
Method 2: This brings me into method number two, which is using Time Machine. In order to recover with Time Machine, all you need to do is first make sure that the drive that you use for Time Machine is connected to your Mac and then navigate to the folder or drive that you want to restore from now. Once you're there go up to the menu bar and search time machine which will bring up the UI now from here. You can literally scroll back through time to the date before the files were deleted. And get your files back, you can simply highlight them and select restore which will bring them out of the past and put them back to their original location.
Method 3: Because if that method didn't work for you and you don't want to go the professional route, there is still one more method that is by far my favorite and that is using recovery software. So the particular piece of software that we're going to be using today. I've talked about before and that is Disk Drill. Of course, I use it all the time not just on this channel, but for my own professional use, I'm a photographer and a videographer professionally and I've misplaced quite a few things in my day. So having a piece of software that I can rely on that can pull files out of a drive for me when all else is lost. Pretty clutch. So I like using Disk Drill. I'm going to show you how to use Disk Drill and let's get started right now.
How to recover deleted files from a MacBook:
Step 1. Download and install Disk Drill for Mac. And once you install it go ahead and launch it. It will be a few tutorials that you can follow to actually learn how the whole UI and the whole system works. But once you're past that it will bring you to the main list of all the drives that are connected to your Mac, which is what we like to call the disc list.
Step 2. So at this point what you're going to do is you're going to highlight the drive that is inside your Mac. So your main hard drive or your main SSD that's connected to your Mac. You're going to find that in your disc list under a hardware disks. Select it.
Step 3. Then go ahead and click the recover button, which is just to the right of the hard drive name and this will begin the scanning process. So, of course this may take a little while depending on if it's an SSD or a hard drive. And of course the size of the drive that it is, so mine is probably going to take around about 20 minutes. So I'm going to wait it out and catch up to you once it's done.
Step 4. Once any scan has completed inside of Disk Drill you will immediately be brought to a list of all the files that have been found within that scanned and they're all organized based on the type of And that was used in order to obtain them so you can go through them. Basically just like any other file system on your Mac. It's a lot like a finder window. You can just go through the different folders and see which files have been found.
Step 5. And once you find the files that you want what's actually really important is you need to actually verify that they're recoverable. Well, there's something called Preview. It's built into Disk Drill where you can see a full preview and intact file preview of that file. All inside of Disk Drill and if and if you can see that inside of Disk Drill, then you know that that files intact and you can do this just by clicking the little preview icon which will bring up a preview of the file if it is not overwritten and ready to be recovered.
Step 6. So if that's the case once you've found the files that you want go ahead and put a check mark next to them just like this that will select them then go ahead and choose a save location. And go ahead and click Recover to recover data from MacBook Air or MacBook Pro hard drive.

Ive got a macbook pro that wont turn on, what can i use to take the hard drive out and hook up to get files off it? Do you have recommendation?
Thank you Andrew for your useful explanation.
The problem i face is that my MacBook Air SSD stopped working out of the blue. It gives me the dreaded folder with a question mark in it. First aid says that there is nothing wrong. It seems that it's reading only the drive partition that has something to do with recovery. I'm told that the machine recognizes the drive, but not the partition where my data is. Do you think that disk drill would work for me?
Please, run Disk Drill in Recovery mode: www.cleverfiles.com/help/disk-drill-recovery-mode.html and scan your drive to check.
Hi , can you please advise how to recover the bookmarked list on Chrome or Safari after the iMac shows the flashing question mark once opened ( indicating the inability to access the computer stuff ever again). Thank you kindly.
Sorry to hear about that. We're happy to investigate this further. Please contact us at help@cleverfiles.com
Hi hmm I would like to ask is it there difference about basic software and pro ver. I did scan but few file missing, if we buy this software are we getting deep scan instead normal scanning for my card. I have to find very important data can u help. I am a Mac user I have ssd card to recover very important data.
Hi there! The only way to verify your files recoverability is to download Disk Drill Basic, run the scan, and preview the file(s) in question. If you managed to preview the file you needed to recover in a basic version, then you will need Pro to recover your files. Please email us at help@cleverfiles.com for further assistance. No preview just means that the file might be damaged or corrupt, it can be recovered, but it might need to be repaired.
Thank you Andrew for the detailed explanation on how to restore files on MacBooks 💻 I personally prefer the third DIY method 05:00
Thanks for sharing!
I formatted my 13 TB external hard drive, and Its telling me to wait 57 hrs to complete the recovery. There was only maybe about 500GB of video footage on the drive. Do I have to wait for the whole scanning process or can I select the folders before its completed (since its not finding any new files after 6hrs of scanning) And recover the folders that are available ?
We recommend you wait until the scan is completed.

When I went into the iCloud... it gave me my iPhone notes ...not my MacBook notes???
is there a way to recover iphoto library,/ iTunes playlist library xlm don't want to recover individually, it would take forever., or what other software do you recommend. I have an external drive bootable volume OSX Mojave witch is an apfs encrypted disk. or is there a way to clone encrypted disk. any help will be good or if anyone knows about this problem .
thanks D
Hello David, my apologies, library files are not supported due to the type of file it is, it is a mere list that displays all files. You will need to scan and recover the single audio files you need.
Please contact us at help@cleverfiles.com if you need further help.
@@cleverfiles I m running from a boot-up volume Mojave 10.14.6 from an external drive 2TB on my MacBook pro mid-2015 and have 800GB free and I accidentally disconnect the external drive. Now is an encrypted "APFS" disk. I've tried Disk Utility run first aid process has failed. if possible backup data on this Volume, I tried to mount the drive enter a password to unlock the disk is greyed out (won't let me type)
My question Is, how can I unlock an encrypted drive if I cannot type in a password. Can I clone an encrypted drive, without Data -Loss?

My macbook air shut down due to faulty power lines in motherboard. worried the latter two wont be able to get my data recovered. would seeking help be a good chance to get data recovered?
If your Mac does not turn on, seeking professional help for data recovery is definitely your best chance to retrieve your data in this situation. If you can get it to boot into Recovery Mode, you can still scan it with Disk Drill: www.cleverfiles.com/help/disk-drill-recovery-mode.html
Andrew, my daughter ran disk drill yesterday and it found a bunch of files so she went looking through them. She closed the laptop to go to sleep and the next morning Diskdrill didn't show anything when she lifted the lid to see the screen. She didn't close the app or shut the computer down, just closed the lid and opened it the next day. Now when she clicks the drive to recover, nothing comes up. Your thoughts??
Please, contact us at help@cleverfiles.com for troubleshooting.

Disk Drill did not work for me. it scans and finds tons of data but not the lost ones. It brings up all my current file/data.

Dude holy shit thank you so much!! Is there a way to just leave them saved on the same drive or do I have save them onto a new one?
It is highly recommended to recover files to a different drive, otherwise, files might overwrite. You're always welcome! :-)
@@cleverfiles thank you!!!
Hi! Can you find the files with the original names and rutes?
File names and folder structure are very intricate metadata that sometimes cannot be recovered. You can increase the recovery chances by running the scan on the whole drive by clicking Search for lost data on the whole drive (not just volume or partition) without interruptions, locating the files in question, and previewing them to verify the content. Disk Drill PRO will recover files that can be accurately previewed in Disk Drill Basic. If you only perform a Deep Scan, the metadata will be lost.
What about if you've installed software which has removed previously other installed software?
It's hard to say if you can recover your data in this case. Please, scan your drive with the free version of Disk Drill to check.
@@cleverfiles ok thank you sir
Bro i have a unique problem that just happened with my imac, can you help?

What about if the Mac Book Pro crashed and is only usable is target disk mode?

Bro by mistake I had to erase my mac book so now all data is gone. Does the third method still work if I have factory reset my Mac?
It depends. Please, scan your drive with the free version of Disk Drill to check.
By mistake I formatted the data disk from MAC and installed Windows 10 there. Can I recover data in the way you present?
Every recovery case is unique and depends on thousands of parameters. The only way to verify that your files are recoverable is downloading Disk Drill Basic, running the scan with All recovery methods on the whole drive (not just volume or partition) without interruptions, locating the files in question, and previewing them to verify the content. Disk Drill PRO will recover the files that can be correctly previewed in Disk Drill Basic.
Hello, I have a pro version of disk drill. I am trying to recover accidentally deleted files from the desktop and after the search it shows me thousands of files that I have never seen before and it can't find my document.

Came across your video while trying desperately to find a way to save my thousands of videos in Storage before reinstalling MacOS. My case is: somehow my Mac pro won’t let me pass the login screen, once I put in password it will show a loading bar that only goes up to 80-90% and bounces back to login again. There’s nothing I can do but to reinstall Catalina (tried to upgrade to Big Sur so it won’t erase my data but it won’t let me either, kept saying reinstall Catalina 🤦🏻♀️). Before I go ahead and install OS I just want to verify if Disk drill will be able to recover my folder contains a thousand videos and a few hundred photos? Thank you so much for your help I really feel like crying now 😭 Losing all of those work will definitely throw me in depression big time 😞

I hard reseted my computer because of an internet problem, and when I searched up how to recover files even after a hard reset, all of the tutorials show them doing it, but they didn’t hard reset their computer before running their software and it just works out for them but not me.

can we recover overwritten SD card ??
Hi, My apologies on the matter. We strongly suggest that once you delete the files by accident or by any other way, to stop using the media or device immediately to avoid data corruption.
In the case of an SD Card compared to a Hard drive, the SD card has less space than a Hard Drive; if you deleted files and then continue to take pictures, you are narrowing the possibilities of recovering those deleted pictures.
Imagine your SD Card is a road, this road has pavement, each section of pavement is a File or picture. So when you delete a file, what your SD Card does is that it tells your OS that the section, where your files were, is now "empty", even though it is not. So the section of the road still has pavement on it. When your OS wants to save a file, it will see the "empty" space and use it to save the file. And instead of removing the file, it will be written over the "empty" space of your file. In the road metaphor, your OS will be putting new pavement on top of the old one.
my files aren't visible in diskdrill😖
Hi there! Sorry to hear about that. The only way to verify your files recoverability is to download Disk Drill Basic, run the scan, and preview the file(s) in question. If you managed to preview the file you needed to recover in a basic version, please email us at help@cleverfiles.com for further assistance. No preview just means that the file might be damaged or corrupt, it can be recovered, but it might need to be repaired.
I don't know if you will read this, 2 years later, but man, god bless u, u helped me so much, thanks a lot.
Glad I could help!
thank u so much brother. you big help for for full data recovered. JAI SHRI RAM . HAR HAR MAHADEV
Happy to help!
what about no intact files??
Sorry to hear about that. We're happy to investigate this further. Please contact us at help@cleverfiles.com
I used to think that I need to pay for icloud or have a huge amount of SD cards with backups, or do like my dad and have 10 GB of copies. Now I think: for what? I don't want to spend resources on all this if the guy from youtube offers free working options.
As a person who spent a lot of time finding ways to restore my data I want to say: this guy resurrected my mac. Moreover, he did it free..
Saving photos in the cloud is good but let's take a little more responsibility for your files. I feel much more confident after I restored everything on my own. I'm sure that guy feels the same
Disk Drill is asking for a password to make changes...I don't have a password. Where can I find it?
I suppose it's macOS asking for your Admin password. Please try that.
Hi. I used the free software. After the recovery I have to upgrade and the cost is $98. Why Do I have to pay to recover photos? I'm not a professional
We offer a free recovery of up to 500 MB of your data if you use Disk Drill for Windows. Unfortunately, this option is not available for Mac users at this time.
We do guarantee the recovery of the files you can fully preview in the free version.
Best way it really works
Thank you for the feedback!
What is the cost for the Disk Drill?
The PRO license costs USD 89: www.cleverfiles.com/pro.html
HOW MUCH do we have to PAY to use Disk drill?
Thanks for commenting! You can check prices here www.cleverfiles.com/pro.html
Next time, try to higher your sound level, Thanks
Can you recover text messages?
Every recovery case is unique and depends on thousands of parameters. You can try scanning your drive with Disk Drill to see if any data can be recovered.
Activation code needed
Data recovery is a paid feature in Disk Drill. With the free version you can only identify recoverable files.
Sadly none of your tips worked for me. I guess my notes have gone forever...I am pissed to say the least.
Famtechz official page will sort this for you💯
They're on insta...
Hi.
Sorry this isn't the right place for my query; please forgive.
I have a Windows computer, and attached to it was a Flash Drive that had a folder in it that I thought was small and meaningless; so, I deleted it and learned immediately afterwards that I had made a mistake.
I tried the little chkdsk G: /f & ATTRIB ..... things and got nothing. I also looked in history of my drive, but that was never activated. I also tried an old version of RecoveryPro or whatever from San Disk- nothing.
To your knowledge, is there anything I can buy and have SHIPPED to me as a decent physical tool to use to recover the files that I deleted? The thing is I DON'T want to be online and exposed while I am trying to recover stuff, so I'd rather pay $50 or something for a cd I can use, if possible.
Thanks and GOD Bless,
Paul
