How to Enable Disk Drill's System Extension (macOS Ventura, Sonoma)

[@robertoperez4550]

Great tutorial, it was easy to follow and allowed me to do what I needed

[@HamiltonBernique]

I configured the system extension successfully, but I'm not seeing any additional recoverable data than without it. None of the typical residual graphics from web surfing etc that I would see with Mac OS versions before Sonoma. Maybe it's because of the advanced garbage collection in the Mac OS - which is a good thing. Thoughts?

Unfortunately I tried this and got an error message from Apple “settings cannot be changed. In order to change security settings please power off your Mac and then hold the power button to start up in Mac OS recovery

[@cleverfiles]

This case needs a more detailed investigation. Please reach us at: [e-mail]

[@themostimportantmichael]

Once this is done, and files have been recovered, do you have to undo any of these things ?

[@cleverfiles]

You do not have to undo any changes.

[@cute_without_the_letter_E]

I don’t get the same options for recovery after the reboot! I have a M2 MacbookAir2023. I just get the Recovery Assistant 😢

Will this not work on free version? I just need to see what i have deleted cause i don’t remember if i can replace it or not. I did all the things you said but nothing more than cache files shows up in the deleted file during the scan. Any solutions to this?

[@cleverfiles]

Please reach out to us for a more in-depth investigation: [e-mail] We will check how the drive was scanned.

[@tomasjancovic2378]

Unfortunatelly did not work even after extending the number of files with this tutorial. The file I deleted some days ago and then also removed it from the bin was not found.

[@xiaofeili1953]

I'm also using it to retrieve my bitcoin-core wallet.dat, hope I have good luck !!

[@jyyke]

You’ve found very old things you’ve delete tho right? I see all my old stuff but none of the stuff I recently deleted

[@jyyke]

I figured it out if you haven’t done it yet all you need to do is change the setting “Allow accessories to connect” from “Ask for New accessories” to “Always”

[@gonzalocontrerashasbun4310]

Where is that option ? on Mac Settings ? or at the app Disk Drill? @@jyyke

[@HaajiKaHalva]

Heeeeeelp, my mac wont show the options after holding the start button down, it just stays blank so i cant even do the first step!😩

[@LLLlucas]

Will this help Disk Drill find a word document that I never saved?

[@cleverfiles]

Each recovery case is unique. Scan your drive with Disk Drill to see what can be recovered.

[@NSG-IT]

hi I tell u my problem, well actually I had a folder called "h" and by mistake I replaced it with another one with the same name. now, I installed disk drill trying to figure if I can get the first directory named h cuz I had files in it that I need, if you can help me I'd be glad for sure and thankful! thanks in advance !

[@phamthohongduong]

I'm having some OS issues right after installing this, missing wallappers and such, how does one remove this extention tho?

[@phamthohongduong]

ok, issues seem to went away on next restart

[@themostimportantmichael]

Does it not search deleted items, until you do this ?

[@cleverfiles]

This depends on your system. Sometimes internal drives require extra steps.

[@themostimportantmichael]

Would this work on a SSD MacBook M1, or, is there a system program that deletes things space in the background, rendering your program ineffective for these hard drive types?@@cleverfiles

[@zembagyatso6510]

Is it safe?

[@cleverfiles]

Yes, it is completely safe.

[@CFernandoC]

@@cleverfiles I do have two questions. see i am not a computer dude that knows more than the average but would i get in trouble with apple or whoever for unlocking these things? Just cuz i see a lot of things that say no permission and things like that. and do i have to lock these things back up after i recover what i needed?

[@Mike-jw7be]

This did not work for my 2023 MacBook Pro M2 on Sonoma. Then I go to Startup Security Utility, I get a message "Security settings cannot be changed. In order to change security settings, please power off your Mac and then hold the power button to start macOS Recovery" which is exactly what I did to begin with. I even powered on, disabled Firevault and tried again, no dice. Please let me know how to proceed here.

[@Mike-jw7be]

Hey @CleverFiles any info on this?

⁠have you found a solution I'm having the same problem :/

[@themostimportantmichael]

What about Mac OS Monterey ?

[@cleverfiles]

This should also apply for macOS Monterey.

[@baraaesa3254]

This app is great, but does free use of it allow the ability to recover all files, or should I upgrade to a paid version of this application to allow full access to deleted files?

[@cleverfiles]

We offer a free recovery of up to 500 MB of your data if you use Disk Drill for Windows. Unfortunately, this option is not available for Mac users at this time. We do guarantee the recovery of the files you can fully preview in the free version.

[@Windify_Creations]

what about the m3 Macs?

[@cleverfiles]

This should work for M3 Macs too.

[@CFernandoC]

Is there something like this for iPhone 15?

[@cleverfiles]

You can use Disk Drill for Mac to scan your iPhone.

[@CFernandoC]

@@cleverfiles I dont mean to offend if it does i apologize but is safe? i mean can you relock those bypass stuff?

[@CFernandoC]

@@cleverfilesSorry what I meant is there something like this for the iPhone that deep scan thing to dig deeper?

[@josephlee3851]

literally just turned my computer off at 1:09 while watching on my computer 🤦‍♂

[@cleverfiles]

😁🫰

[@katewinters5251]

I need to recover a specific file I just deleted. Is there an option to search recently deleted in trash. The file organization on this is very overwhelming.

[@cleverfiles]

Try to filter the results by file type, date and size and then preview each file by clicking the “eye” icon next to the name to see if it is the file you need. Please contact us at [e-mail] for further assistance.
