Can you recover lost data after reboot macbook pro?

my step-daughter rebooted her macbook pro  and it restored to it's original state
lost all her data/document's /photo's etc ... data was not backed up on a external hard drive.
is there a way to recover?

If she was installing a new OS and erased the whole disk, you will not be able to recover everything. You can try "Data Rescue". As long as you don't install anything new on the drive, you can link it to another mac and try to rescue partial files...

  • Can you put windows on a new macbook pro

    can you  put windows on a new macbook pro ? yes or no, which notebook can i put windows on if not the macbook pro?

    WIndows 7 is the only Windows OS supported by the new Macs.
    You usually use Boot Camp Assistant to partition the drive and install the Windows product on the Mac.
    This creates a system where you boot into Mac OSX OR Windows.
    see more at http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    There are programs such as Parallels or VMWare Fusion that can create a Virtual Machine within Mac OSX - giving you access to both Operating Systems at once. You may get slight performance issues as you would be essentially running two Operating Systems at once.

  • Can i recover lost data from encrypted drive by Bitlocker

    Hello Dears. I had encrypted my drive by Bitlocker in windows 7. 
    few days after my friend did quick format in my encrypted drive.
    my 300 gb of data lost. and nothing saved
    i remember unlock password. 
    how can i recover my data ??? i need my data
    i tried drive recovering tools (advanced EFS data recovery, easeus . . ,) . but . . . it's encrypted and formatted drive. 
    can i undo quick format and decrypt ???
    sorry my english is not good.
    someone help me please. 

    BitLocker is not the cause of failed to recover files. 
    Format a drive will clear all data saved on the hard disk. Thus recovery formatted data will be a hard disk based technology but not related to operation system. There is no build-in data recovery feature in Windows operations. So we will needto use third party recovery tool or contact third party data recovery company for current issue.
    As recovery missing data service will be expensive, we can also check emails and contact friends to see if that can help get a part of files back especially for photos, documents etc.

  • Can you recover saved data on a Time Capsule that has died?

    I came home today to find that the green light to my Time Capsule was off.  Did all the usual fixers...and after going to the several posts on a DEAD TC...I guess I have latest one.  In addition to backing up my PC...I had a bunch of saved documents also.....can these be recovered or should I just can the TC?
    Thanks for any responses!

    With power supplies on ebay for $25 it is just as cheap and easy to unplug the power supply as it is to remove the hard disk and buy a cradle for it.
    Power supply. Replacement left sitting next to the old one right. The covers have been removed and replaced.. Just make sure you get the 34W supply for the 2TB drive. The early supply was 30W and could not handle it.
    Pull out the supply.. 3 plugs.. Mains in, Sata power and board.. and plug the new one in.
    Only because these are fairly plentiful and much cheaper now.. it might not even last long.. but at least to recover your data and erase and sell as a working unit that is fair enough.
    (not sure how long the post will last with pics of open TC??)

  • Can you recover app data using Time Machine

    When I got my 3GS, I consciously elected to create a new phone, rather than restoring from my previous backup. (Thought it would be best to start from scratch since I hadn't yet installed OS 3.0).
    Anyway,I did this forgetting that only one app I use has any significant data associated with it -- my workout app.
    Is there a way to recover the data for just that app using Time Machine?
    Thanks.

    Had a similar issue with Peggle (close to the last level, but my saves didn't transfer! AAAHH!!!). What I had to do (according to AppleCare) was to restore my phone from a backup. This doesn't take long at all, and you don't have to redownload the OS to do it (it simply replaces "your stuff" with the backup. Doing it this way (instead of going with "new phone" fixed my problem. From there, you can change the name of your phone or whatever you want in iTunes.
    Hopefully you made a recent backup of your old phone so you can do this. If you deleted your backup, you can use Time Machine to restore it and THEN restore from backup on your new phone. But to my knowledge (and according to the Apple rep I talked to) there is no way to simply transfer data within the app itself.

  • How can I get my data off my MacBook Pro hard drive?

    So initially, water was spilled on my MacBook Pro keyboard. I promptly shut it down, turned it upside down, mopped up the water and let it dry out for a day near a heater. The next day it worked fine and continued to do so for about 2 more days until it decided it would no longer start up. Right now it can't make it to the login screen at start up, it just shuts down, the same thing happens in safe mode as well. So, since I haven't backed up my data recently, I was wondering if there was a way I could rescue my data from the hard drive. I did take it in to the Genius Bar, but they couldn't help me since it wouldn't start up in safe mode. Is there a way around this like hooking up an alternate monitor or am I just screwed?

  • Can you please tell me about this MacBook Pro?

    Thank you for taking the time to read this and hopefully helping me out. I am a first time Mac purchaser and I feel a bit out of my element here.
    I am thinking of buying this MacBook Pro
    (http://store.apple.com/us/product/FB604?mco=MTM3NDgzMzY)
    If am not using the computer for editing or games, it will be for watching movie on-line and my dvd's.
    Questions:
    1.) The add says the computer has 4gigs of RAM. 256MB of shared RAM. And finally, a 512MB of graphics memory. What does this mean exactly? What does shared mean for this setup? Please feel free to give me as much info as possible.
    2.) Overall, would it be a mistake to get this computer?
    3.) Is that a decent amount of RAM and stuff for the video cards to work and also allow the OS to run well?
    4.) When was this MacBook Pro made? Is it like from 2007 or something? Is this pretty much a new model or is it one of the first uni-body models a few years back?
    Thank you for helping me out.

    The MacBook Pro you are considering is an early 2009 model. I own two of the 17" MacBook Pros the late 2008 models with the removable batteries. I looked hard and long and found one still on the shelf as NOS and bought it for the wife. I am not fond of the internal batteries like the model you are considering. When it comes time to change it--and that time will certainly come--it's not as snappy as push a button and remove.
    4GB of ram on this computer is plenty. Today. 8GB is the future benchmark. I have 16GB in my i7 which tells you where ram is going to be. You can update ram cheaply at any time. Buying a computer is like owning a garage. You keep adding stuff until one day you drive home to find there is no room to park the car in the garage. Buy the most ram, best processor and biggest hard drive you can grow into for the next few years.
    Here are the answers to your questions:
    RAM: the power to work quickly.
    RAM (Random Access Memory) is the memory your Mac uses to run software applications and store frequently accessed data. Adding RAM improves the performance of your entire experience: opening and working with large files; using the Finder and other elements of Mac OS X; and running graphics, audio, video, and scientific applications. In addition, more RAM speeds up your computer when you have lots of applications open at the same time.
    Hard drive: room to work and play.
    The hard drive is where your Mac stores all your data when you’re not using it. The capacity of a hard drive, measured in gigabytes, or GB, tells you how much room you have to store your files and applications. A typical application today may take 10 to 50 megabytes (MB); photos may take up about 2-4MB each; graphics files can occupy more than 100MB; and video files are often many gigabytes in size.
    The standard hard drive in every Mac offers enough space for average users to store their documents and digital media. If you’re a photo, music, or video aficionado who likes to collect media files, a larger hard drive will give you room to grow your collection.
    Processor: the high-speed engine of your Mac.
    The processor is the brains of your Mac. Every second, it completes the billions of calculations needed to perform every computing task. Most Mac models feature the Intel Core 2 Duo family of processors, with twin processor cores that pack twice the power of a standard processor in the same space.
    With many Mac models, you can upgrade the processor to a faster speed. If you plan to do processor-intensive tasks such as video rendering, gaming, and working with large, multi-track audio files, a faster processor can improve the performance of your Mac.
    Graphics processor: your world in high resolution.
    A graphics processor is simply a processor dedicated to turning huge amounts of data into graphics and video output. By taking this task away from the main processor, a graphics processor also makes the entire system faster and more responsive.
