What We Cannot Recover (Apple Security Limitations)

Important: Apple’s advanced security systems prevent recovery in these situations. Please do not contact us for these issues as we cannot provide assistance:

iPhone & iPad Limitations:

  • Disabled/Unavailable devices - We cannot bypass “iPhone Unavailable” or “iPad Disabled” messages from incorrect passcode attempts
  • Factory reset devices - Once reset, data is permanently encrypted and unrecoverable
  • Deleted data - We cannot recover deleted messages, photos, apps or any deleted content from iPhones/iPads
  • Unknown passcodes - Your correct passcode/PIN is always required due to Apple’s hardware encryption

MacBook, iMac & SSD Limitations:

  • Reformatted or deleted data - Modern Apple SSDs use TRIM and encryption that securely erases data permanently
  • Unknown passwords - Your correct login password is essential for accessing encrypted Apple computers
  • Software-deleted files - Once deleted from Apple computers, files cannot be recovered due to secure erase features

Why These Limitations Exist:
Apple’s security architecture is designed to protect user privacy through hardware-level encryption. While this creates excellent security, it means data recovery has strict limitations that no company can overcome - even with Apple recommendation. For more information about data recovery principles and techniques, see the comprehensive overview on Wikipedia.

What We CAN Help With:
Physical damage, liquid damage, hardware failures, and component-level issues where your device won’t boot but you know your correct passcode/password.

Our Data Recovery Process for Apple Devices

Step 1: Apple Store Visit (Recommended)

Visit an Apple Store first to document the fault and receive a repair case number. This helps protect your warranty status. Apple staff may provide you with our business card including a special discount code.

Step 2: Free Assessment (1-2 Days)

Bring your device to any of our 6 Australian labs for professional assessment. Our Apple-trained technicians will diagnose the issue and determine recovery options.

Step 3: Genuine Parts & Expert Recovery

Using genuine Apple parts accessed through our Apple GSX access, we perform component-level repairs, chip-off recovery, or logic board transplants as needed to recover your data.

Step 4: Data Delivery Options

For MacBooks, iMacs & Apple Computers:
Your recovered files are delivered on an external USB hard drive or USB-C SSD. We can format drives for Apple (Mac) or Windows compatibility based on your preference.

For iPhones & iPads:

  • Complete iTunes/iPhone backup file for easy restoration
  • Camera roll backup (all photos and videos)
  • Full iCloud backup restoration directly to your iCloud account
  • This allows seamless restoration to a new iPhone/iPad after our recovery work

Warranty & Apple Recommendation Information

Important: While we are recommended by Apple for data recovery services, any hardware modifications we perform may impact your device warranty or AppleCare coverage. Apple makes warranty decisions on a case-by-case basis.

Best Practice: Visit Apple first to document the issue and receive a repair case number. This creates an official record that your device was faulty before data recovery services.

Apple’s Position: Apple may honour warranty coverage for devices that have undergone data recovery by companies they recommend, but this remains at Apple’s discretion. For complete details about warranty implications, see Apple’s official data recovery policy.

Michael Juda - Sydney, NSW

“Payam Data Recovery team were absolutely fantastic. My iPhone 7 suddenly died one day and would not work. I took it to the Apple store and they recommended Payam Data Recovery. I dropped off the phone and they completed the job in two weeks and recovered everything. The Payam staff are absolutely wonderful with great customer service and the technicians professional and are great at data recovery. I can highly recommend them.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Google Review

Shani Craven - Sydney, NSW

“An Apple Authorised Service Repairer was unable to resolve my laptop issue stating that my 10 year old MacBook Air was vintage and all my data had been lost and was unrecoverable. Fortunately, Payam confidently offered a suitable service for my needs and they effectively recovered all my valuable data (documents, photos and videos). This service was completed efficiently and I was communicated with the entire time. I am extremely grateful for their service and would recommend.”

I had an aged MacBook Pro that had accumulated a lot of data and had not been backed up for about 6 months, so there was some recent information and documents that I was keen to keep. MacBook Pro's of this age have integrated logic boards so recovering the data was potentially an issue. Apple referred me to Payam and they were able to recover the entire data file (nearly a terabyte of data) for me within 2 weeks. I am very satisfied with the cost and the result. The cost was reasonable given my requirements. Thank you Scott and team!

I recently had to involve Payam Data Recovery team to recover years of data from my MacBook. Team was very professional and easy to communicate. They checked my Mac and then only send me the quote with no obligations. I chose the Non-urgent service which had SLA of 7 days and then recovered the whole data. Pricing is also very nominal in compare to the value of data plus they also have the data retention policy of 14 days in case if you want data back in those 14 days. Great Job Team.

Life savers ! My son’s Macbook just stopped working one day. Apple (who were excellent to be fair) said she was dead and would be an $1800 repair (new logic board). My sons also did not have his documents backed up (yeah yeah I know - but sometimes you forget). In comes Payam to the rescue. Superb pre and post sale service. They performed amazing internal surgery on his Mac and retrieved the mission critical data for us. As the drives in these Mac’s are hardwired to the motherboard they could’ve be removed so the surgeons at Payam had to perform open heart surgery to get my son’s data back. All 23 GBs were returned on a new Toshiba hard drive and posted back to us in less then 5 days. If you have important data and no back up - these guys are your answer. Wasn’t cheap but we didn’t have a choice this time. Awesome work - highly recommend them

Data Recovery process for my ancient macbook pro was made so easy, from filling out the form online, to dropping it off, to the communication from the recovery team. It was great to have all my old photos and music files back! So easy, that we sent in my husbands old laptop for the same treatment.

My logic board failed on my MacBook Pro, and Apple said there's nothing I can do to retrieve my files or turn my laptop on. I was then recommended to visit Payam, and they have been able to both recover all of my files onto an external SSD, and even got my computer to boot up again. Although a bit pricy, their service has been impeccable, communication throughout the process has been great, and would overall recommend them to anyone that's had any logic board issues. Thanks for everything Scott.

I spilled a large cup of coffee across my MacBook and thought I lost all my work as my computer screen went black. As I realised the damage, I quickly went to Payam and oh did they deliver! Not only were all my files saved, I even got my laptop working again. The process itself was super simple, you just drop off your laptop and literally they take it from there. The communication and explanation of the whole process was extremely fast. So without doubt I’d fully recommend this for anyone looking to recover files!

Apple couldn’t get the MacBook to turn on and hadn’t backed up for ages and Apple advised to fix you’ll lose all your data. Apple recommended Payam , glad they did . Wasn’t cheap but definitely worth every cent as Payam was able to extract every file and move it to an external hard drive. Thank you guys , your magicians .

I recently had a great experience with Payam Data Recovery. My 2020 MacBook M1 crashed, and I needed urgent data recovery. I was recommended to Payam Data Recovery by Apple. Although the service was expensive, it was quick and efficient. They recovered all of my crucial data, and my MacBook even turned on afterwards.

Fantastic service. We had a water damaged MacBook, and were unable to power up. We were certain we had lost all the data. Payam were fantastic - no request for money up front - we were told we only pay if the data retrieval was successful, which it was. Very pleased, would highly recommend.

Great job! My data was fully recovered on a 2018 MacBook Pro in 3 open days, although an Apple authorized repairer had told me it wasn't possible. I can't thank this company enough for the work they did, which was fast and efficient. I'm so grateful, they overdelivered!!!

Scott and the Payam team managed to revive and restore a completely non-functioning MacBook that Apple had suggested was irretrievable. The service was incredibly fast, efficient and at a surprisingly good price. We have used other data retrieval services previously with poor results and excessive charges, I won't use anyone but Payam moving forward!

Very professional service. Recommended to me by Apple. Recovered all my data after a glass of soft drink was spilt across my macbook.😱😭 The process was very easy and I got regular updates along the way. I have all my data back now. Very happy. 😃

Craig Nevans and Payam Data Recovery Service saved those data that I thought I would never see again. These professional data recovery service provider know what they are doing and will always tell you the truth and facts using their expertise and knowledge 100%. I have a T2 chip MacbookPro that can't boot and I thought my data has been sentenced to death, but Craig brought hope (not overpromising) and he succeeded in getting all those data back. Not to mention that you only need to pay them a reasonable price (for me it's around 500$) when they are confident with the final outcome. I could not thank them enough for saving both my time and money in getting those invaluable data back to my life. Strongly recommend their service and will always give reference to them when gods forbids it, any of my friends and families suffer a data loss. What a nice team!

The Apple team recommended Pay when my MacBook mother board needed replacing. The team at Payam did a great job to recover ALL of my data ... The communication and customer service was excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend Payam or if the need arises, use Payam again.

No wonder Apple recommends Payam. Their process is well mapped out and support easy to follow. No hidden costs as everything is clarified. Their phone customer service is friendly and patient to answer all questions. My 2016 MacBook Pro died on me and Payam managed to recover majority of not all of my files. Worth the investment 💯

I was so impressed JJ at Payam was able to recover my data from a late model Macbook Pro that I said I would leave a Google Review in thanks, clearly Payam's existing reviews speak for themselves - these guys know their stuff, what looked like a lost cause was turned around and all data recovered. Very impressed, hopefully I won't need this sort of service again but if I do I know exactly who to come to. Thanks again.

My MacBook recently died. Without my work documents on iCloud I was in a bit of trouble. Dropped it in to Wes at Payam in Adelaide city. Everything was recovered. But what was special was the service - very regular, honest updates re progress and transparent about the options available. Highly recommend.

My thanks to Kane at Payam, Brisbane who recovered 15 years of photos, plus all other data (which I had never backed up) when my MacBook Air totally died. Amazingly, Payam offer free quotes. My then fear that this quote would be unaffordable for such a small job from an obviously very professional business, was completely unfounded. Within 2 days I had an external hard-drive containing all my data. I wholeheartedly recommend this company. Gillian

Went to Payam Melbourne on Apple Store recommendation. Incredibly honest advice provided. Was advised I could buy a product from Officeworks to retrieve data from my broken Macbook's hard disk. The solution worked and I was able to retrieve the data. I would highly recommend Payam as being very knowledgeable and honest. They definitely know what they are doing when it comes to data recovery issues. Gary (Melb Australia)

My phone died without any warning. Unfortunately I thought I had backed up my photos which I hadn't and I was devastated to.say the least. I brought my phone to Payam data recovery as my last chance of having my photos saved. And Payam managed to retrieve all of my data off my dead phone. Im am very grateful 🙏. They kept me informed all the way. I am so happy.

Payam Data Recovery has always been my go to when it comes to any form of recovery, however this time was different because it wasn't a hard drive, it was a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra with a bootloop.I needed access to the photos which was extremely important. I was quoted one amount then informed that it was a no go, but I was offered an alternative solution at a higher price. I opted to try it and when I received the news it was successful I was extremely happy and the best part, the mobile phone with its new board, now works. I have a data backup of the phone and a working phone. I highly recommend Payam. Payam, keep up the good work, you've always been there for me and I appreciate it a lot. Thank you.

If you're in need of data recovery you can't go past Payam Rhodes. They were very helpful, easy to deal with and always kept me updated on how the job was going in detail and what the next steps were. My phone had zero hope of getting the data recovered as it was soo far gone but they were able to get it done in the end and I'm very thankful.

From the initial consultation to the final data recovery, their team was knowledgeable, responsive, and consistently reassuring. Notably, they placed a strong emphasis on the security and privacy of my sensitive iPhone data, handling it with the utmost care.

Customer service by these guys was exceptional! Wes at the Adelaide office was really kind and helpful, I was a bit emotional when I dropped my phone off as I was so scared I wouldn’t be able to get my data back as I had dropped my phone at the beach over Christmas. He was very reassuring that they have a high success rate and the team know what they are doing. We are talking years of baby photos that were saved… I had no backed up my data to my laptop in a LONG time so lesson learnt. It was successful and only took about 3 weeks in the end. They were great at helping out with a payment plan as I couldn’t do the lump sum all at once. Fingers crossed no issues happen again but I know where to go and send people if it does. Thankyou very much from the bottom Of my heart.

Payam helped me extract some precious memories from an old iPhone that had significant saltwater damage. The process from start to finish was quick (less than 2 weeks), highly professional and I received regular updates on the data extraction process throughout. The phone drop off and subsequent data collection process was seamless. I would highly recommend Payam to anyone who requires quick and professional data recovery, and with the peace of mind that they’re the most experienced and recommended company in the market.

I could not have been more impressed with the service I received from Payam Data Recovery. I had only known of them reputationally, and so was somewhat shocked at the amount of information and detail that was relayed throughout the whole process. My need to employ their services was a simple drive recovery, but the contents of the drive were extremely dear to my family. There was only ever understanding and competence relayed from the staff, whether over the phone or at the Rhodes office. The recovery was thankfully successful. I could not recommend this business more highly.

Honestly words can’t describe what Payam can do! I walked into the ocean while on holiday in Thailand.. as I was taking photos of beautiful scenery I phone died of water damage due a crack in the back of my iPhone. 10 days later I brought my phone into Payam data recovery and to my surprise they recovered everything until the very last photo until my phone’s death. Also had everything backed up on my iPhone to restore and even made a seperate file for photos and videos. I can’t thank Payam enough for there expertise and professional service. Would highly recommend to anyone.

The service isn’t cheap but they quickly recovered all my photos from an iPhone that had (accidentally) fallen in the ocean and was destroyed by the salt water. So grateful that I was able to get all my data back! I also appreciated that they were upfront about costs and laid out everything before you committed so you knew exactly how much you were looking at for the service.

Job 46935 - In short, my iPhone 14 Pro became a brick and wouldn't power on, Apple told me there was nothing they could do to help as I did not back up my data to iCloud. Payam Data Recovery took less than two weeks to provide me with the entire contents of my iPhone as well as an iPhone backup folder. I reset my new iPhone from that backup today and have lost absolutely nothing. These guys are worth every dollar and I could not recommend them highly enough.

I can understand why they have such high ratings. Amazing. From start to finish. The online chat, the reception staff, Tim the technician, and all the other recovery experts; all professional and helpful to the highest level. I had a severely salt water damaged cracked iPhone 11 Pro that had not been backed up for over 4 years (stupid I know). Tim was helpful and very patient and ensured I didn’t have any backups in places I didn’t know (I didn’t). They retrieved all my data and made it possible to restore it to a new iPhone via an iTunes backup. It took them a week to recover and accommodated a flexible drop off and pick up for me. All prices where upfront and they discussed the worse case scenarios which may include additional costs but only at your say so. Thank you everyone at Payam.

If you think you have lost all your data from your water damaged phone, and don't have iCloud back up, don't lose hope! These guys are absolute life savers! After losing all my data from my water damaged iPhone, the Apple store at Castle Hill recommended me to contact Payam. I contacted them and the pleasant receptionist advised I could drop by the Rhodes office with my completely dead phone. Upon arrival at the Payam office, I was met by a friendly gentleman who took the time to clearly explain the whole process and answer all my questions. Not pushy at all and just a straight up nice guy. At the end of our conversation and after handing over my phone ,with the hope the data could be retrieved, I asked him for his name. He shook my hand and said "I'm Payam Toloo". Works out that the person who I thought was a super friendly customer service rep was the owner and founder of this awesome company. What a champion bloke! Most importantly, within a couple of days I received an email from Payam and to my amazement they were able to completely retrieve all data from my phone. All 500Gbs worth! I'm forever grateful. They were able to retrieve everything and supplied backups, all quickly and with clear communication and as an added bonus provided a simple video with instructions on how to transfer the retrieved back up data from the storage device to my new iPhone. I absolutley recommend the team at Payam!

Apple recommended Payam and from the start all of the staff members have been nothing but helpful in reassuring me that they will do their best to recover my data.

A superb experience with this business after my iPhone got incapacitated due to salt water on a kayaking weekend. When Apple told me all my data (photos of my kids and wife) were gone for good, I almost had a coronary. And they could do nothing. Not even when of those “geniuses”. Well Payam is where you meet the real geniuses! They got all my data back and even helped me set up my new iPhone.. which I did struggle with. Thank you so much to Tim and the other guys who helped me. A really impressive, top notch customer experience

The team at Payam have been able to do what 2 other data recovery companies could not do and both told me they were leaders in the field , one is based in Melbourne and one in Sydney. i had a cracked mother board on my phone a late Samsung, the screen would not lite up so standard methods for recovery would not work , both tried with no success and told me all was lost . I contacted Payam told them of my dilemma explained in detail they said we are able to do things that other data companies can not , so of course my eyes rolled hearing this sort of talk for the third time but they were very thorough in their explanation and optimistic they would succeed , so with nothing to loose i sent them the phone , on that phone i have some 42,000 photos , over 400 videos , contacts from all over the world some 450 odd, plus all my messages and apps , this data base has been growing since 2016 , has been transferred with 4 phone upgrades the new Samsung is the 5th, in short it is my world and means a very great deal to me . i had a short wait approx 10 days and the team from Payam have notified me that they have been able to recover 100% of my data AND their cost was less than the other two agencies had quoted . This has been a 6 month ordeal I am extremely grateful to the payam team for their dedicated hard work and industry leading ability ,they can do what others can not , they can do what can not be done in my case with 100% success can not recommend them high enough , thank you team payam , cheers.

After asking for quotes everywhere and doing research for iPhone data recovery in Auckland, I received the most affordable quote and most professional service from Payam. They were fantastic throughout the whole process and answered all of my questions super quickly and with detail. They also recovered everything, including a complete iTunes backup. Keep in mind that they will have to look through your photos to ensure that none of the files recovered are corrupted. Highly recommend Payam.

My iPhone took a dive into the bathtub and stopped working immediately. I felt so ill and couldn’t stop crying, I thought I had lost all the photos from my pregnancy and the first year of my second sons life. How would I explain that one when he is older and comparing to his brother!? Thanks to payam I don’t have to explain it! They retrieved all my data to a hard drive and created a iTunes back up for me. “data recovery work completed” is the best statement I have ever read in my life. Wasn’t cheap, but worth every penny! Hopefully don’t ever have to go through that again but if I do I know where to go. Within 5 working days my data was delivered back to me! Not all hero’s wear capes! Thank you so much!

My iPhone drowned, switched off and never turned back on. Apple service centre recommended Payam. Filled in the online form, sent my phone to them, got all my data, photos, contacts, messages recovered. The process was quick and easy to follow. Customer service has been proactively informing me of the progress long the process. Before paying for the service, I was sent a video proving the data was recovered. Job was done very quick (within a couple of days), despite not buying the urgency package.

Payam was super efficient in recovering ALL of my lost data in my iPhone after it died and I did not have a backup, they were quite fast and great customer service.

I went to 4 Mobile phone shops and they all said you will never get your data back. Payam got my data back! These guys are fantastic, trust worth service and willing to try. Worth every cent, don't waste your time with anyone else...Thank you all!

Very happy with the service, the people at Payam Data Recovery are literally life savers. Our Samsung Galaxy S8 was locked due a forgotten pin and on top of that Secure Startup was enabled meaning that the device pin had to be entered before the phone even switched on. It had gotten to a stage where if the pin was entered incorrectly a few more times the phone would automatically do a factory reset and delete all the data on the phone. We had priceless photos of our new born that we couldn't afford to lose. The process of booking a data recovery job is made so simple and can all be done through their website. They provide multiple options to choose from depending on urgency. If the data is not recovered they don't charge anything. The first assessment, they weren't able to recover the data due to the encrption on the phone. They recommended to contact them again in 6 months as they are constantly researching new methods and tools. A year later, we sent the phone off again and this time they were able to recover all our photos, videos ... Their customer service is 2nd to none, they provide the option of viewing the recovered data remotely to make sure your happy with the service before making payment. If you have data that needs to be recovered, send it to Payam Data Recovery. If it can be recovered they will recover it for you. If it can't be recovered, no one else can recover it.

Amazing service and great communication skills throughout my whole service. They were able to recover my photos and data from my broken samsung phone that I never backed up and thought I would never get back. They let you know of all the upfront costs and different options they have for you to make it a very easy experience to go through. Highly recommend

Absolutely incredible. I'm not a frequent hander out of 5 stars. I had so little hope that anyone would be successful getting years of photos off my busted iPhone. The error I had was one multiple other providers said would be impossible to work with - they didn't even want to try it was so hopeless. Payam no joke did so in such a quick time frame, I was shocked. The turn around time was quick, the follow up email with results was comprehensive (including a video of some of the data, to show what was recovered), and the shipping of my data back to me was so fast it was like Australia Post became a half decent service just for Payam. In all my years of paying for all sorts of services, Payam is well and truly in the top 10 companies I have dealt with. I now have the last photos of my dog before he passed from cancer. Worth every single cent, and then some!

Very professional, did a great job recovering the data on my water damaged iPhone XS, tried everything else and they were my last resort. They send back all the data and a copy of the iPhones restore file which enabled me to reimagine all the data and files onto my new phone. Would highly recommend using them if you are unable to restore your phone.

These guys were recommended by the Apple store. Spoke with them and they were great at explaining the process. Was best priced in the market too. Dropped off a non-functional phone and received a hard drive back within 2 weeks! Had an issue with the backup file but got on the phone with Craig who helped me step through the issue and eventually, we got my iPhone and all its data recovered onto a new iPhone! Recommend them not just for the recovery of data but for the great over-the-phone support I received from Craig when I had issues with iTunes.

Recovered everything on my iPhone (which hadn’t been backing up photos correctly) and actually returned the phone in working condition. (Payam specifically let me know that the phone may be destroyed in the process). Apple had informed me that I would absolutely not be able to get the phone fixed, but that a service like Payam might be able to get the data. It was fast, easy and they delivered far more than expected. So happy. Thank you with all my heart.

Thank you so much! Payam data recovery truly has gone above and beyond. After dropping my iphone onto the pavement i thought i was dealing with simply a badly smashed screen. After taking it to Apple I was told that i had damaged it beyond just the display and had actually damaged the hardware internally which is why it couldn't turn on. This was confirmed by a repair shop who also said that there was no chance of recovering the over 8 years of photos and videos that i had on there which had not been backed up anywhere. Payam received my phone on Tuesday morning and by Thursday night I had an email saying that my recovery was complete. Lesson learnt on not backing up your files, but thankfully Payam saved the day. I couldn't be happier with both the result and the exceptional service.

I would like to thank the team at Payam Data Recovery for the help they have given us. My phone was water damaged and had gone blank. The photos of my daughters birth were on it. Samsung said they could not help me and I got the same response from any other company I engaged. That phone has been in my car for over a year now just in case I could find someone. I was told about PDR and within a week they have extracted the photos and they are being delivered. I can't thank you enough. Happy wife, happy life! I will recommend you anytime I can.

After spending a lot of time researching the internet on how I could recover data from my Samsung Galaxy phone I come across Payam. Payam received my phone on Wednesday and on Friday I had a call telling me they had recovered my data. I felt like crying at this moment as I was so overwhelmed. I could not have been happier with the service and it was worth every cent been able to get back to my child's baby photos back! Would recommend Payam to everyone! Thank you Payam.

Hi, I went to access some photos from my Samsung S5 and they had disappeared. There were so many of my grandchildren and I was devastated. I did some research and found Payam, and as they were in Adelaide decided to give them a go, didn't have anything to lose and all to gain. Fabulous, Wes was great, all photos recovered and I am so very happy. Will, and have already recommended you guys to anyone who will listen! Debra Schroeder
