Since Apple released the new macOS system- High Sierra, and one of the important new feature is APFS (Apple File System). APFS will be new the new default file system. It will bring some heavy-duty security, including built‑in encryption, crash‑safe protections, and simplified data backup and more. Many data recovery apps can no longer access your startup disk directly. Even accesses drives and partitions for deleted data recovery in read-only mode only. If we deleted some photos or documents in macOS High Sierra without Time Machine backup, how to recover them by data recovery?
Fortunately, some data recovery software has solved this problem, it can scan your system startup disk or partition for the deleted files in the latest macOS High Sierra. Here we use Fireebok Data Recovery to recover the deleted data in macOS High Sierra.
1. Download Fireebok Data Recovery
- Data Recovery
Recover data lost due to accidental deleting, formatting, virus infection,
and other unknown reasons.
2. Disable File System Protection in macOS High Sierra
In order to recover lost data from your startup drive, Fireebok Data Recovery requires read-only access. To grant this level of access on macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) you need to disable file system protection. This is part of the System Integrity Protection module (SIP or “rootless”) introduced in macOS El Capitan and substantially severed in High Sierra.
Partially disabling SIP is absolutely safe! Once you are done with data recovery, you can re-enable it.
Step #1: Reboot your Mac
Click the menu on your Mac and select Restart.
Step #2: Boot into macOS Recovery Mode
Hold down Command + R on your keyboard immediately after your Mac begins to restart. Continue holding both keys until you see the Apple logo or a spinning globe. Startup is complete when you see the Utilities window.
