Common causes

Why are you losing your data?

File loss is never inevitable. Whether it's a hardware failure, a formatting error or software corruption, our professional recovery software's in-depth analysis identifies salvageable sectors on your boot drive.
  • Liquid damage & Corrosion
    Water, coffee or wine spilt on your MacBook causes corrosion on the motherboard, preventing access to the SSD. Early intervention increases the chances of recovery.
  • Mac dead or won't start
    Black screen, boot loop or crossed-out circle: we use target disk mode or direct chip extraction to restore your files, even on a computer that's out of service.
  • Accidental deletion
    Deleted files, emptied recycle bin or lost partition via disk utility. The faster you act, the greater the chances of recovering files.
  • APFS/HFS+ system error
    Corruption of the file catalogue, making the data invisible to the macOS operating system. An in-depth analysis restores the volume structure.

Frequently asked questions about data recovery

The essentials before taking your Mac to our workshop.

From €90 incl. VAT for a simple extraction (deleted files) to €490 for a severely damaged disk. Work on T2 or Apple Silicon chips is subject to quotation. Visit diagnosis is free of charge and you will receive a detailed quote within 24 hours. If no data can be retrieved, you pay nothing.

Yes, in the vast majority of cases. We use target disk mode, physical extraction from the SSD or hard disk and professional tools to access your files without booting macOS. Even if your Mac is no longer powered on, your data is often still sleeping on the storage chip.

Yes, as long as they have not been rewritten with new data. Act quickly and avoid using your Mac to maximise your chances. An emptied recycle bin does not mean that the files have been permanently deleted.

From a few hours for a simple extraction to 48 hours for a damaged disk or an Apple Silicon chip requiring DFU mode. Our express service is available for emergencies.

No. We recover data directly from the hard disk or SSD, even without prior backup. However, Time Machine remains the best solution to prevent any future loss. We can configure your backup after the operation.

The Apple Store does not offer a data recovery service. In the event of a breakdown, they often recommend complete replacement of the machine. Our independent workshop extracts your files with competitive rates and a success rate of around 95%.
