How to Troubleshoot Mac Data Loss

Your robust Mac too encounters data loss. Sometimes due to accidental deletion and sometimes due to hard drive corruption. Since hard drive corruption and such flaky issues cause data loss, thus cannot be left unresolved. Hence, we are suggesting some measures that you can try to troubleshoot such issues and recover your data:

  • Use Apple’s ‘Repair Permission’ Utility: The ‘Disk Utility’ of Mac (or Apple computers) facilitates some really advantageous options and one of them is ‘Repair Permission’. This tool of ‘Disk Utility’ is there to repair the permissions that are causing corruption issues in your Mac hard drive. However, Apple included this in Disk Utility from Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar onwards. You can find ‘Repair Permission’ at ‘Applications>> Utilities>> Disk Utility>> First Aid’. It is suggested to run the ‘Repair Permission’ feature on the boot drive of your Mac.
  • Use ‘Repair Disk’ Feature: Another way to troubleshoot the corruption issues in your Mac is Disk Utility’s ‘Repair Disk’ feature. You can use this feature to check your Mac disk for file system problems; however, it also resolves issue like partial startup. To use this feature on boot drive, you have to have a boot disk or Mac OS X installation disk, but for any non-boot volume this option (Repair Disk) is enabled automatically.
  • Perform Safe Boot: This feature is again available for Mac OS X 10.2 and later versions. Press down the SHIFT key as soon as your Mac starts up and hold it until you get a grey logo of Apple. The Safe Boot gets back your Mac into running state when it fails to boot or freezes during the startup, or crashes or stops when you try to perform some task after successful startup.
  • Use Professional Mac Data Recovery Tool: You can use an efficient Mac data recovery software when none of the aforementioned features are able to do any needful or when you have lost your data (of which, you do not have backup) due to accidental deletion. Moreover, there can be chances that the above recommended options of ‘Disk Utility’ fail to resolve the problems and then formatting becomes the only resolution to get your machine back to working. Since formatting too deletes all the data and without having the proper backup, Mac data recovery tools remain the only resolution to recover data.

Reliable Mac data recovery software recovers all deleted, formatted, or inaccessible data. In addition to various other features, an efficient Mac data recovery utility provides a system startup disc from which you can start your unbootable Mac and access your precious data. Therefore, Mac data recovery tool is ultimate resolution to Mac data loss.
