That is... "everything" that was stored: i.e. in documents, photos, desktop...etc.

Also.... all internet settings ( inclu. DU and all bookmarks and favorites) and ids and passwords with the weird exception of Netflix.

Apple Store guy couldn't establish why they were wiped. But did confirm that they WERE.

Some of the docs I can recover.... the ones that I emailed as attachments to people. They're searchable in the 'mail sent" bowels.

But I have to do that one-by-one.
