My son passed away and I need to get his pics from a non working HDD.
I am certain this question has been asked a thousand times here, but Im new here and quite panicked. My oldest son was hit by a car last month while riding his bicycle home from work... he didn't survive. Unfortunately, neither did the HDD on my MBP. My MBP 13" had been running slower and would sometimes take several minutes to boot up. I went to boot up the other day and i just get a blank screen. I tried numerous times and it wont go past the blank screen. I removed the drive from the computer and put it in an enclosure and connected it to another mac. Unfortunately its not recognizing the drive at all. I've done this with several computers all of which are not able to see the drive. Whats my next move? I did back up regularly through time machine, but for some reason unbeknownst to me, the person who set that up set it to back up everything but my iPhoto. Im willing to do anything at this point. I cant afford to lose these pics of my son. Is there a company that youve used that i can send it to to have my files recovered?
