Question

Some files were deleted and could not be restored on the icloud.

I used iCloud as a backup, transferring the old Mac to the new one for trade-in. I used the copy functionally as well. After I found the files on the iCloud and the new one, I did initialize the old Mac. Accidentally I deleted all files on the cloud once I did restore but some files were gone. That's what old Mac used to have them. I attempted to restore functionally on the icloud but it said there is nothing to be deleted. What should I do for restoring files and is there anything to restore them? Thanks in advance.

What you need to know first is that your files have been deleted permanently as you say, so you could not restore them on iCloud. But you can use third-party software to recover them like iBoysoft Data Recovery for Mac.

How to recover deleted data from Apple T2 MacBook?

I accidentally deleted my data on MacBook 2019 and want to restore it. I don't have a backup on the TimeMachine, so it's not available. I bought the Wondershare Recoverit software, but the software cannot scan my folders because of the Apple T2 security chip. The following message is always displayed: "Your Mac is equipped with the Apple T2 Security Chip. Files in the APFS file system cannot be scanned."

I have already disabled my System Integrity Protection and FileVault, but I still did not succeed.

How can I scan these folders?

With the iBoysoft Data Recovery software, they want a password for my encrypted APFS partition.

Where do I get this password from?
