My macbook recently died on me with no warning what so ever, just shut off and wouldn't turn back on. Thankfully I was able to have it repaired within a few days.
Unfortunately, it was completely erased in the process and I never backed up my stuff on the Time Machine using an eternal hard drive. Is there any way I can get all my old stuff back?? THANK U

Recovering Lost Files After Repair:
Finding a Deleted File:
If this was already uploaded to iCloud, then it would remain there, even if you deleted it from the iPhone.
Check the following:
Three Tactics to Try:
If never loaded to iCloud, then its gone if never backed up. So, look elsewhere...
A. Start here: If you're Missing Photos or Videos in the Photos app - Apple Support
B. Use a Time Machine Backup:
Did you backup your Mac, recently? If so, then restore your Mac from that. You'd backup you Mac prior to doing so, and then restore your data from the backup you just created, through use of Migration Assistant.
C. Where Else to Check:
No. This is why it is important that regular backups are created.
