😰

My iMac just died after 5 years of daily use… with movies and big projects in development that might be lost forever.

Apple is a brand I’ve always liked, but since everything is integrated into the screen, it’s much more common to lose the hard drive’s data when these things happen.


I feel fucking terrible.

Luckily, some illustrations and the next chapter of Mei’s project are safe on an external drive… So I’m able to upload some content the next week.

But other projects, like the Zenless Zone Zero animation, were only saved on my computer… And knowing that all that work could be lost makes me feel truly devastated.


As I said on Twitter, I know there’s nothing you can do to help me, but I just need to vent. Just as I share my good moments with you, I also want to share the terrible ones like this.


Thank you all for being there 💚

There are data recovery services than can do some pretty amazing things to recover data, even from Apple products. That said, they aren't cheap and even they cant guarantee success 😬 In any case, I hope you'll come to terms with the loss and continue moving forward. Oh, and look into implementing the 3-2-1 backup rule. It's a well known maxim in IT, and it's saved my bacon a few times.

Well… Apple assured me that I would not be able to recover my files, so I took the computer to another repair shop; they told me there is a chance to save the files, but it is not yet guaranteed. I hope it’s posible

As someone that works for Geek Squad, Apple makes it nearly impossible to recover data once it reaches a point like that. Likely the drive in the computer is proprietary, nothing like a traditional SSD or M.2 SSD, always feels the worst.

Hope your work can be saved if any.

I wish you all the luck in the world ❤️

No, is the first thing I done, and they only proposed me changing the piece what makes everything get deleted. That’s why I choosed to try to recover the data going to other store. But thanks for the help

Take it to an Apple Store they should be able to extract the SSD and recover your files.
