iCloud set-up on new Macbook deleted files (PLEASE HELP ASAP!)
Hello,
I bought a brand new Macbook at the Apple store. I heard about the benefits of iCloud before, so I wanted to start using it for this new laptop. Before this, I've only been using an external hard drive to constantly back up files from my old Macbook.
I set up iCloud on my old Macbook and got all of my files to start uploading onto the cloud. Meanwhile, I worked on an important assignment on my new Macbook. I put the file on the desktop. When I finished, I closed my new Macbook and went on with my day. A few hours later, I opened my new Macbook again. It asked me to log back into iCloud (which I had NEVER signed out of in the first place), so I did. Then, I COULD NOT FIND ANY OF THE WORK I HAD JUST DONE. Instead, it seems like the old Macbook's files (documents + desktop) were continuing to upload onto my new Macbook via iCloud.
If anyone has any idea on how I can retrieve my lost files on the new Macbook, please let me know. These are incredibly important documents, and I'd like to retrieve them asap.
Thank you!
