My macbook pro was working weird for no reason at Friday, and it also cannot turn on at Saturday suddenly, I didn't have time to backup my laptop before it stop working. Is this a response of Apple to help me take my data out of my broken laptop? Even I am still covered by applecare, they told me I need pay for extra 99 dollars for backup my data to my external hard drive.
MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2012)
What happens when you try to boot up?

Can you boot into Target Disk Mode?

Yo may have to take the HD out, insert it into an external enclosure and then connect to another computer.
From the problems you describe, it sounds like your disk drive has completely died. If that is true there maybe very little chances that you will be able to recover anything.
If you want to try doing the recovery of data yourself, you will have to remove it from the MBP and install it into an external enclosure.
You can then connect it to another Mac to see what data is recoverable from it.
The other choice would be to sent the disk drive out to a recovery service. If you do that be prepared for their charges. It is usually around $$$$
Thanks for your reply, Is Apple care can do anything to help?
You will have to ask Apple that.
It just out of power and disable for charging as well. So I don't know what else I can do except bring it to apple store.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. The appointment is free. Then they can help you determine your next step.
I just don't understand if I don't do anything cause this mbp stop working, it doesn't give me enough time to backup once I notice it is working unusual, why should i pay more money to get my data back?
Because you failed to do a backup in time so the data lose is your fault.
how can I get my data out of my broken Macbook Pro?
