Method 1: Check the Trash and use Finder
Sometimes files aren't deleted, they're misplaced. Start with the basics.
1. To restore files from Recycle Bin:
Open the Recycle Bin to see if your file is there. Once you find it, right-click and select "Put Back" to restore it.
2. How to find lost files on Mac: Use Finder to search for your file by name or extension. This can often help find lost files.
These steps are simple but can be surprisingly effective.
Method 2: Time Machine and local snapshots
Time Machine is your one-stop shop for reliable file recovery. Here's how to restore deleted files from a Time Machine backup:
1. Time Machine backups: Connect your backup drive, open Time Machine, navigate to the previous location of the file, and use the time picker to restore.
2. Local Snapshots: If you don't have a Time Machine backup drive connected, you can still restore files from local snapshots stored directly on your Mac.
Method 3: Using data recovery software (Disk Drill)
For more complex recovery scenarios, Disk Drill offers an advanced solution. Disk Drill for Mac is a comprehensive data recovery solution and offers support for a wide range of macOS versions, including the latest macOS Sonoma, various file systems (including HFS+, APFS) and device types. With its ability to recover an extensive range of over 350 file types from various storage media, including internal and external drives, USB flash drives and memory cards, Disk Drill ensures that Mac users have a robust and versatile tool to effectively recover lost or deleted data, regardless of the macOS version or the complexity of the data recovery scenario.
How to recover deleted files on Mac:
1. Download and install Disk Drill from the official website (https://www.cleverfiles.com).
2. Open Disk Drill. If you are recovering from an external drive, connect it.
3. Select the drive you want to scan and click "Scan for lost data".
4. Review and preview the found files. Disk Drill provides a recovery estimate for each file.
5. Select the files you need, click "Restore" and choose a save location, ideally different from the original location.
Method 4: iCloud Restore
iCloud can be a vital aid for restoring files backed up on your Mac:
1. Sign in to iCloud.com on your Mac.
2. Browse your files. Also check the Recently Deleted folder.
3. You can download the files or folders you need back to your Mac.
4. Make sure your iCloud sync settings are up to date to maximize the effectiveness of this method.
Method 5: Restore Apple Music Library
If you've lost songs from your Apple Music library:
1. Open Apple Music on your Mac.
2. Go to Music, then Settings and make sure Sync Library is turned on. This will sync your library across devices so deleted songs can be restored.
