06.20.15 | sucks bro, it happened to many sputusers who complained about it here after.

06.20.15 | And fortunately I've just got hold of a (seemingly) legit bit of kit for recovering what's on my iPhone, so that's something, got about 50Gb on there.
The process has begun! |

06.20.15 | slowly but surely
and this is why I have 3 hard drives of backups |
MercuryToHell
06.20.15 | I do feel a bit daft - I think with just the one external this was asking for trouble... |
Relinquished
06.20.15 | no one expects it, especially if you haven't been warned about it. but now you learned this lesson. it'd be worse if you had saved files of legal papers and shit. now that's something to worry about. |
MercuryToHell
06.20.15 | This is true.
I could easily lay into hyperbole after hyperbole about how music is my life etc but fortunately rationality has settled in :) |

06.20.15 | this happened to me too, i had A LOT of projects saved in my HD as well and lost it all. i was so fucking pissed, but being that way isnt going to bring all my files back so fuck it |

06.20.15 | I should probably back up more often given that this lappy is 5 years old... ;_; |

06.20.15 | you can use dropbox to store the most important stuff
1GB for free |

06.20.15 | the most important stuff in your pc is mp3 files? |

06.20.15 | I actually got cloud storage with a internet dongle that I bought on a contract - more fool me for guessing I'd never use it. |
grannypantys
06.20.15 | its been a bad day
plz don't take my picture |

06.20.15 | cloud storage is probably the best option for important documents/stuff. It sucks but there's not much you can do about your music library... maybe a yearly backup on an external HDD? |

06.20.15 | i'm far from a computer expert but the data may still be retrievable if its just a mechanical failure or w/e. looking online it all looks a bit complicated and possibly expensive but it's definitely something to look into. |

06.20.15 | this is literally my nightmare tho. i'm more invested in my hard drive's well-being than my parent's. haha kinda joking haha kinda not really tho at all haha. ha. |

06.20.15 | Yeah my DJ career is ruined!
Taken it back to Apple store, drive is corrupted completely rather than just a loose connection somewhere, so my only option is to go from the ground up.
I've got around 5,000 of my songs back thanks to the back-up from phone but this is just a messy, messy way to say 'dude, have a plan B'... |

06.20.15 | Hope you didn't pay for all your music like I do. |
MercuryToHell
06.20.15 | I won't pretend to be an angel and say I have done for all of it, but fortunately the ones that were paid for I can re-download from my iTunes account.
The rarer old CDs I've sold though could haunt me in the library re-stocking process.
Bugger. |
