So I made this device for my car using an arduino. great, works almost perfect, only have minor debugging left to do. then my computer crashes the other day and I lost all my files because I never thought to back anything up. I've put at least 20 hours into writing this code and I really don't want to have to try and write the whole thing again from memory just for minor debugging. Is there any way I can lift the current version of the code that is still on the arduino and store it as a file on my computer? I'm using a mega2560 and a macbook pro.

At best you may be able to read out the machine code from the Atmel device.
You'd then need to use a dissembler / de-compiler to convert the code to asm / c.
Working with the disassembled code won't be easy.
You won't get the original names for your constants / functions / subroutines, just arbitrarily assigned labels eg sub1
To be honest it'd probably be quicker to start over.
Edit
If it were me I'd whip the HDD out of the mac and throw it at the mercy of some decent data recovery software,
Good luck
