The Macintosh is often credited with popularizing the graphical user interface. The Mac OS has been pre-installed on almost every Macintosh computer ever sold. The operating system is also sold separately at Apple retail stores, and online. Mac OS X succeeded the original Mac OS, which Apple had been using since the year 1984.

The Mac operating system makes use of two major file systems namely, HFS and HFS+ file systems. Hierarchical File System or HFS was the primary file system format used on the Macintosh Plus and later models, until Mac OS 8.1, when HFS was replaced by HFS+. HFS+ is the preferred file system on Mac OS X. It supports journaling, quotas, byte-range locking, Finder information in metadata, multiple encodings, hard and symbolic links, aliases, support for hiding file extensions on a per-file basis, etc. HFS+ uses B-Trees heavily for many of its internals.

There are various reasons for loss of files from a Mac operating system. Some of the reasons can be summarized as follows,

• Accidental deletion of files, or accidental reformatting of the volumes present on the Mac machine.
• Software failures and loss, due to corruption of files.
• Loss of data due to virus attacks, or loss due to malware affecting the PC.
• Loss of data due to system metadata structure corruption.

No matter what the reason for data loss, Mac file recovery is possible as long as you take some precautions, and make use of a good data recovery software for recovering the lost/deleted data.
