What type of failure for a Mac ? 

Several situations can lead to a files recovery on a damaged storage media.  

We are talking about failures, which can be classified into two types : logical and electronic failure. 

The logical failure 

The logical failure is the least severe of all MacBook failures. The drive usually works in a normal way, the only difference being that you can’t access your data. You will then need to hire a content recovery specialist.

All Apple devices work through file systems like: 

APFS, HFS, HFS Plus (HFS+), exFAT, FAT32

The logical failure is usually caused by : 

  • the presence of viruses in the software;
  • excessive formatting;
  • a partitioning;
  • accidental deletion of files;
  • etc.

After a logical failure on your Mac, you may have files to recover, whether it is corrupt data or deleted data. 

Electronic failure 

In the event of an electronic failure, the disk is inert and is no longer detected by the MacBook operating system.  

The electronic failure is usually caused by an abnormally high electrical voltage, the failure of an electronic component or an external cause such as flooding, fire, ect. Macbooks are not waterproof and spilled liquid is often the cause of the failure. 

Whatever the nature of the failure is, at Chronodisk we bring adapted solutions for the recovery of deleted files or lost files and on every type of storage media : computers, external hard drives, memory cards, USB sticks, digital cameras, etc.

Expert opinion : some technical difficulties on MAC products 

No technical documentation is available from Apple. 

Par exemple, aucun schéma de carte mère n’est diffusé par Apple. Nous devons réaliser notre propre documentation.

Spare parts not available:

We need to order a functional motherboard to retrieve the components and transplant them onto the client’s. The cards are very expensive.

Security:

Both the MacBook Pro and the iMac Pro have the Apple T2 chip that controls the security of the computer, including checking the integrity of the software and hardware when the machine is started. If the chip detects a problem, it may block the computer from starting.
