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!

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.

      Ha ha ha! I know those feels mate I've finally got the garage cleared enough that next weekend I'll do some actual work on my car (hopefully). Unfortunately garage isn't usable after 10am at the moment That said, I've done a lot of work this weekend on helping finalise a friend's Production Race car. Full started Christmas Eve. We're down to about 8 tasks on the list, including "get a wheel alignment". Sometimes it's just easier working on someone else's car or project than our own stuff 😛

      Ha ha, ended up going it alone.  I just sent it (in a very nervous fashion).  Once I'd released the locks and it didn't automatically start spinning out of control i felt a bit more confident.   It made some loud sounds (cracking and creaking noises) when I first spun it which got the heart rate going again!  I couldn't bring myself to leave it tipped on the side.  I feel a bit more comfortable having back right side up while it sits there. I'd get angry with your last point but you're 100% correct! 😅 Even yesterday I managed to distract myself at numerous times to make a bracket to fit an LED flood light off the back of the house and fix my sons pushbike.  There were other little taks nibbling at my brain for the rest of the day too...

      Probably one of the more nerve wracking experiences of my entire life! 😂😂 The balance (centre of gravity) is out still but in a direction that gives me comfort!   It's quite bottom heavy still meaning it takes a bit of muscle to rotate it.  The plus side of that is that it wants to to go back to upright.  Better that than wanting to go all stranded turtle on me!

      A universal ball joint removal c press kit is better money spent and will work for the Hicas ball joints.  Here's a 45$ CAD Example. ATPEAM Heavy Duty Ball Joint Press Kit with 4WD Adapters | Professional 4 in 1 Ball Joint Press Removal and Installation Tool for Cars and Trucks | Universal Ball Joint Tool with Storage Case, Ball Joint & Tie Rod Tools - Amazon Canada
