    Is there a way to recover files if you can’t recover the disks and have to erase everything? My mac has crashed and won’t reinstall the MacOS. I don’t want to have to erase everything but it seems that I literally can’t do anything else with it.

  • @djreaction1
    @djreaction1 Před 11 měsíci

    Great video, but unsure about one thing. By reinstalling the OS on your mac, you lose all the data you have. How would I go about getting that back installed? Migration? I've been wanting to do this for awhile, but want to make sure its entirely clear to me to do it. If you select restore from backup, would it install a new version and then load your data?

      They used to almost never crash. Then they moved to intel and gradually got worse. Haven't tried the new M1 yet as can't afford a new one. I'm stuck in a loop of reinstalling, but this time no disk showing. My 2015 is working better than this 2017 one. Of course I never upgraded my 2015 to Big Sur.

      @Xavier Breath agree, previously owned a 2011 MacBook Air and 2016 13” MacBook Pro with TouchBar. The MacBook Air never needs any repair besides battery replacement, whereas my MacBook Pro suffers from failed logic board, loose i/o and keyboard issues. Macs used to be great back then
