Apple deleted hundreds of family photos off my Dad's Ipad and now he's yelling at me like it's my fault I can't fix it

>>105955613 (OP)
I stopped managing old peoples electronics because they blame you if something goes wrong. The only time I help now is when they fuck it up that it needs to be redone. I just tell them I now have to delete all data on it to get it working again.

>>105955613 (OP)
tell him hes got two options
A: next time your car breaks down you're going to say its his fault and demand he fix it
B: be more polite to you when asking for help.

>>105955613 (OP)
>Apple deleted
Did they really.

>>105955658
he said he had over 600 files on it
I hooked it up to a windows pc and it only showed 178 pictures and videos
don't ask me apparently it's my fault and I'm an asshole for not explaining anything while he's screaming about how he hates computers like he's been doing for 20 years

>>105955613 (OP)
your dad was just drunk and deleted them and you are his scapegoat now hahahaha

>>105955613 (OP)
Offer to cook him a nice dinner as an apology then lift the cloche to reveal a big lead ingot and tell the boomer cunt you made him his favourite
>>105955666
The rest might have been moved to whatever cloud service Apple uses so they might just be there. However I'd advise against looking and to just drop the retard like a sack of shit

>>105955666
There's some troubleshooting stuff I could suggest (mainly involving icloud), but since it's for the benefit of someone venting his frustrations on an innocent party I don't really feel like typing it out.

This is what you get for buying tim apple products

>>105955741
I didn't buy shit
he stole it from his last job

>>105955631
This is true. Don't ever get involved with old people's electronics, or anything really.

>>105955613 (OP)
>>105955666
Check the apple and Google cloud (you will probably have him reset the passwords because he forgot). There's a chance he moved it there.
Also if you appreciate these family photos back them up yourself don't leave it to the boomer Luddite

>>105955836
They might have been moved automatically. I'm fairly sure my Android will move unviewed photos onto my Google Driver after x months and that it's default behaviour unless specified otherwise.

>>105955631
Fucking this. I cared a decade ago and got shat on when retards rotated wrong knobs and broke things after I helped. Not anymore. Stay in your windows+chrome+no adblock lagging hell for all I care.

>>105955631
Installed Debian stable on my dads laptop and he doesn't have any issues really, maybe once every 2 years.

nice story bro
Your lack of backups isn't Apple's fault.

Decapitate him in mortal combat with your Ipad

offer to suck his cock to make up for it

werent you guys making fun of me for saying you need an external drive yesterday?

>>105957109
fuck you faggot
>>105955613 (OP)
actually OP I change my mind. I am feeling much less merciful. Tell your dad to stop acting like a nigger if he wants help from you. you've been doing this for 20 years? fuck him.

if they were stored in the icloud talk to apple customer service. If they were in the computer use file recovery software.

>>105955613 (OP)
>>105955666
>Anon can you look into this?
>Yes.
The second you said that you became his personal 24/7 customer service and anything bad that happens it's your fault.
If you said "Sure, it will be 50 bucks and no guarantees", he would have probably ignored the problem, or you would have got something in return at least.

Fuck the cloud. Worst invention ever. Online storage should be out of normie hands

>>105960556
This. Literally the same happened to me.
A couple of weeks ago I saw my uncle deleting photos taken at parties with his friends. I asked him why and he said that his iPhone was full that he will need some storage for when he'll go on vacation. I got suspicious because he got the new iPhone this Easter and seems odd that in just a few months is already full. I looked into the notification and it said that iCloud backup cannot be uploaded because iCloud storage is full. His local storage was just 50 GB out of 256.
I said to disable cloud backups and he told me: «I ain't disabling shit». He kept deleting photos after that.

This.
Also expect me to be able to diagnose issues on Apple devices... Devices I have never used and am just going off of my own logic and web searches.
But then refuse for me to build them a cheap desktop PC and would rather pay double for a prebuilt..
Win10 EoL this year, won't let me upgrade or install LTSC AND they will just buy a new PC...

>>105955613 (OP)
It's already your fault, now to the next logical step: deleting the rest.

>>105955741
Yup.
Well-known h8er of heterosexuals. He probably scourges thousands of TA products of their nuclear family photo albums everyday, just to be a cunt.

Buy him a bottle to shut his mouth and use a tool such as recuva or something.

>refuse for me to build them a cheap desktop PC

I've had a similar issue with my gf. She got suckered into a $1600 prebuilt on a shitty payment plan knowing that I build PCs for fun

Her husband only uses it to play shitty no name MMO games

>>105955631
My father told me that I ruined the kitchen knife just because it now cuts lemons worse (it cuts all food it's meant to infinitely better after I sharpened it).

>would you like to back up your files to the cloud? They'll be available even if your phone dies
>(btw you have 1/50th the cloud storage you have device storage, so you'll run out well before your device is full)

HE FELL FOR THE APPLEL MEME

>>105965140
That's an ai

>>105965140
I post some stuff about my gf and her husband on /v/, I don't really post that often though. Maybe I should get a trip

>>105965570
I'm a real person you double nigger

>>105965427
and that's a good thing

>>105960556
they are really good now about streamlining the payment process. My mom pays for a huge ass apple cloud package but Google still convinced her that her storage for her images is full so now she pays for two cloud services
