Ok so about 1 hour ago I plugged my Ipod into the computer Itunes came up and for some annoying reason just restarted my Ipod to it's factory settings..

I hadn't backed it up because I was going to do that this weekend.

I have just lost about 30GIG worth of documents & photos on my Ipod. I really need these back because there are a lot of extremely important documents on there including your documents beloved SAU events!

I rang up a few Data recovery companies but they say it will be about $270 + GST

Does anyone have any other Ideas as to what I can do to get these documents back..

Please help :ermm:

If there are any questionable photographs on it I'd be happy to have a look at it for you :ermm:

Have you looked around for data recovery software?

If you right click "my computer" and go to manage does your ipod come up as an extra drive on the computer?

No they are not questionable photos!

They are every SAU event are more so!

Not really I don't want to touch it and f**k it up :ermm:

Not on this computer it doesn't I did on my co workers and it comes up but it's all the factory settings :ermm:

Whatever you do corinne, DO NOT load anything onto the iPod... If you do, you'll be overwriting your files permanently.

Have you tried this: http://www.recovermyfiles.com/ipod-recovery.php ??

Most likely its just the fat table thats been deleted so the files are still there, you just need software to recover it. If you write anything onto the ipod though it will overwrite your old stuff.

Dont you have another copy of the data? How is it possible to have a copy of the data on the ipod without having another copy on the computer? Doesnt it have to 'sync' with the computer to copy the data off? :confused:

Hehe.. let me know if either of those programs work. i'd be interested to know for the future.

By the way... I wouldnt recommend following barons advice about just plugging it into another computer. If itunes on the other PC tries to sync files to the device it will wipe your data for sure :ermm:

I know.

I wouldn't take Barons advice if he paid me, he's so dodgy.. :D

I don't have it synced to one computer. I do it manually so that I can steal everyone else's music.

sif. the baron knows what he's doing.

*note use the baron's advice at your own risk. any accidental permanent data loss is the sole responsibility of the numpty with the ipod. Baron corp and it's employees accept no liability for any such loss.

    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
