ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TRIVIA QUESTIONS FULL

Regular every day phone-in support basically said there was nothing they could do - especially because we had used a beta. It was heartbreaking to see so many memories seemingly permanently lost. I have always implicitly trusted Apple products, and the privacy-centric nature of the company, which values customers as just that - not a product themselves. We are well-trained from experience to keep backups of any files not stored in the cloud (especially when using betas), but never considered that we would ever need to have a backup of iCloud contents as well. The photos were then systematically deleted in iCloud via Safari, and all of our other WiFi-enabled devices. This happened after using the Photos app on one of our test machines which was logged into the cloud. Why did it fail to locate anything? Well, SSDs are almost impossible to recover data from (unlike traditional hard drives) and it's likely the automated system background maintenance tool 'trim' had already been run on our drives.Īs we watched the photo count drop by the hundreds on our other connected devices, we quickly turned off WiFi on one of the iPhones, and used iMazing (we should really develop an app like this ourselves) to copy across what shreds of data were left locally on the device. Even as such, the app was unable to find a single deleted photo from the local Photos library, despite upgrading to their Pro version. Which meant anything recovered by tools like Disk Drill, would only be the low-resolution copies.

There were also no full local backups on our MacBooks because we had the 'optimize storage' feature enabled.

They didn't hit 'Recently Deleted' - they were just GONE! Almost a week ago after upgrading to the latest macOS Ventura 13.3 beta, 5,900 photos from our iCloud disappeared.
