How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?

How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?
The iPod Touch was working perfectly fine. iTunes suggest that I update the iPod Touch to the latest operating software, and I proceeded to do so. Then a message popped up stating that the iPod Touch needs to be fully restored - and that all data will be lost. The iPod Touch now displays the 'plug into iTunes' screen, and is stuck there. There are irreplaceable family momentos on the iPod Touch. How can I recover files from an iPod Touch prior to a required restore? HELP...

Your only hope is to contact a data recovery company. When it shows the connect to iTunes screen the iPod is essentially deleted.
You can restore from an existing backup

How can I transfer photos from iPhone 3GS to MacBook?

Please, I need help!!!
How can I transfer all the pics I have on my iphone 3g s to my macbook?!?!??!?!?!

You can import photos from your iPhone's Camera Roll only.
With a Mac, this can be with iPhoto or with the Image Capture application.
Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process (which are stored in your iPhone's Photo Library) cannot be imported by your computer or transferred in the opposite direction. Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone are optimized for viewing on your iPhone as part of the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced. Photos transferred from your compute to your iPhone should remain on your computer and be included with your computer's backup.

How can I recover files from an iMac 2009 with a broken graphic card.

My old iMac has a broken graphics card. Instead of getting it replaced or fixed I needed a computer quickly. I decided to get a MacPro. I'm able to boot up the old iMac and my MacPro can now read the files in the iMac. I have been transferring files from the old iMac to the MacPro via ethernet connection as the USB to USB was running slow. Is there a faster way to transfer the files between the two?
Is there a way I can delete the files on the iMac when I'm done transferring the files I wanna keep? Right now it won't let me delete anything from the iMac hard drive especially the locked Files.
Is there a way I can connect another monitor to the iMac if it has a broken graphics card? I'm assuming it's the graphics card cause I researched it on youtube and my iMac has the same screen they're describing when you have a graphics card issue.
Thanks.

What is the iMac model? Does it have Thunderbolt? Do you have Firewire? Can you connect them via any combination of Firewire & Thunderbolt?
Thunderbolt & Firewire support something called 'target disk mode'
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
OS X Mountain Lion: Transfer files between two computers using target disk mode
That will allow you to see the iMac as an 'external hard disk'. They are the fastest way to access the full disk.
At the moment it sounds like you are using file sharing over ethernet - this is not the way to access everything on the iMac's disk & will result in you failing to copy data that you don't have read permission.
You can also erase the iMacs HD over target disk mode if you really want to remove the OS & data.
I don't believe it is possible to connect up two Macs via USB to USB so please clarify what you used. You may have been doing the right thing before you switched to ethernet.
EDIT:
Nevermind about the model, 2009 iMacs didn't have Thunderbolt so you will need to use Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt.

How can I recover files from an hard disk that DiskUtility cannot rapair?

When I push the power button of my PowerBook, while the computer is rebooting and you see the gray screen with the apple, the black screen appears saying that I have to restart the computer!
I have connected the Power Book to another Mac BookPro 2.33Ghz, intel Core Duo 2G RAM via firewire.
In the Mac bookPro desktop I cannot see the HD, and disk utility indicates this problem:
+Verify and Repair disk “Macintosh HD”+
+Invalid Volume Header+
+Checking HFS Plus volume.+
+Checking Extents Overflow file.+
+Checking Catalog file.+
+Invalid node structure+
+Volume check failed.+
+Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit+
+1 HFS volume checked+
+ 1 volume could not be repaired because of an error+
+and then:+
+Disk Utility stopped repairing “Macintosh HD” because the following error was encountered:+
+The underlying task reported failure on exit.+
Of course, I didn't try to format it, because the HD contains data that I don't want to lose.
I tried "Data Rescue II", and I can see and scan the HD, but it seems that I can only recover deleted files...
Any suggestions on how to repair the HD without losing the files?
Or a software suggestion that at least lets me first recover the files. If I recover the files, then I will try to reformat the HD.
Ciao!

Before giving up I would try Alsoft Disk Warrior which may be able to fix the problem:

If this doesn't work out you can usually recover most of your files with Prosoft's Data Rescue II:

How can I recover files from my Windows 7 backup cd's on Windows 8 laptop?

1. HP ENVY m6 Notebook PC
2. Windows 8
3. No Error Messages
4. No Changes
I had an hp laptop with windows 7 on it. After it crashed a couple of times, I made backup dvds using hp's file backup. It actually came out to 11 dvds. I bought a new hp laptop which came with Windows 8. I tried running the application on the dvd's, but it skips over all the files and installs nothing. How do I recover my files on these dvd's?

Hello thelink484,
To me, it sounds like you recovered your operating system and all the preloaded software, on 11 dvd's. You cannot simply install everything like this, from Windows 7 to Windows 8.
You will need to restore on a windows 7 machine, then backup your user files that you want to move to Windows 8.

How can I recover music from my ipod when its in 'need to restore' mode?

basically, my friends ipod is a old ipod classic and has about 7,000 songs on it and most of them are backed up in the ipod hard drive (like going to the ipod on my computer and organising the files there)
about 2 weeks ago certain songs would crash and the ipod wouls have to be restarted by holding menu + pause then not listen to that song, after a while of this it makes a loud clicking noise whenever it was turned on and all i see is the apple logo for about 5 minutes then it comes up with 'connect to itunes to restore',
once i manage to connect it to a laptop (it has always been annoying to connect) i restarts itself a couple of times, then shows ' connect to power screen ' and at this point the laptop hasnt recognised the ipod yet on itunes and my computer after reconnecting it a few times it will connect and start charging, itunes says that the ipod needs restoring and i cannot open it in my computer as it says i need to insert a disc and also the ipod screen doesnt have the red 'do not disconnect' symbol the screen is black and white and the symbols are a bit smaller and it looks like a disc mode or something? sorry i do not know what to refer to it as
the problem is i need to restore my ipod to help fix it and access my thousnads of files as many of the songs i could not find again, but i cannot get into any of files anyway
i was wondering if there are any ways i will be able to recover my files before i restore it as i have tried some recovery programs but my ipod never shows up on them but if a restore and update was necessary to recover files
by the way my friend borrows my laptop to put music on her ipod which she then deletes from my files afterwards and the ipod has been switched through different computers which the songs have been deleted from anyway
any advice would be greatly appreciated thank you!!!!!
xx

You will have to use a third party soft such as disk aid (digidna.net/products/diskaid) or iexplorer (macroplant.com/iexplorer)
Hope this helps

Recover data from iphone after upgrade to 6.0 causes recovery mode

When I upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 6.0, unfortunately it put my phone into Recovery Mode, meaning as I understand it that I had lost all my data!! My back-up on my computer was over 14 months old, and my iCloud backup was incomplete. I used the computer back-up, not realizing how old it was, I thought it was only 2 months old, didn't catch the year.
Now I'm wondering if there's any way there might still be some data I could salvage on my phone. In particular, I am really hoping a few pictures and some videos I had taken just 3-4 days previously might be salvageable. Anyone know of a way to go about this? Or am I way too late, or was it never possible....
Hoping there might still be a chance....

I guess I could have some good news for you, atleast when it comes to your data. Its not gone, gone!
You might still be able to get back the data that exists in the backup of your phone.
Not sure how it comes out of the recovery mode, but in case you need to call people and don't have their contacts, or want to go through some texts or notes which were saved on your iPhone, then there could be some help
You can get any one of the following backup recovery softwares, which would basically extract data off your iPhone's backup and show to you on your computer
Total Saver from MyPhoneData - recovers contacts, texts, videos, photos, call history, notes. Cheapest and runs on Mac and Windows
Iphoneextractor - recovers voice memos as well. Is more expensive that the one listed above and would run only on Windows
Dr.Fone - super expensive at $100!!!! does nothing more than what the other 2 softwares listed above would do
Alright mate.. best luck getting back your data

How can I recover files from a hard disk that I erased using the Erase Disk command in Disk Utility?

Thanks for your help!

Yes, it's not for GUI only using folks.
Free Linux alternatives are awkward. First, you have to download a Linux ISO and burn it to a DVD. Then boot the live demo and install Linux. That requires first partitioning the hard drive. And, on and on. It's nice if you already have a Linux installed.
Linux doesn't have to be installed. It can be loaded into RAM for the duration of the recovery.
Even if PartedMagic can be downloaded with a bootable Linux system it must still be burned to a DVD.
Any computer can be used to burn the ISO to disk, which makes it attractive in that regard.
Once PM is burned and booted off of it's loaded into RAM and flushed upon a reboot.
But the data recovery software in PM requires familiarity of the command line. That's it's drawback unfortunately.
However one can transfer files that were not deleted using this method.
...using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
Those "bootable cd's" of Data Rescue, File Salvage, and TechTool are probablly using Linux as it's a free OS.
Apple won't allow their OS to be used, Microsoft charges a huge license fee. So that only leaves Linux.
The user likely won't know that they are using Linux when using the bootable recovery disk, all they see is the recovery GUI.
Data Rescue is likely best downloaded, installed and run from a familiar OS X installed on a new HFS+ formatted external drive, then option booted from.
This would be faster than waiting for bootable disks to arrive in the mails. One has to use a exteranl drive anyway larger than the drive being recovered to hold all the potential recovered data.

How can I recover files from flash drive?

I've apparently lost a bunch of '.pages' files on a 16GB Lexar flash drive that were present yesterday. The '.pages' files were contained in a sub-folder. The main folder is still there and apparently okay. I am at a total lose as to where the files (and their sub-folder) have gone to. Any suggestions on a program or procedure to try to see if they're still there and recoverable? Any guidance will be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!
I have a MAC Mini (Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.6.8), 2.4 GHz Intel Core2Duo 8GB mem.
If I've selected the wrong community to post this question to, please help me find the right one. Thanks, again!

Peter,
Thanks for suggesting Disk Utility. I didn't know it existed, but found it and ran it. I checked 'Verify Disk' and it "Found 335234 orphaned clusters, 25174 files, 6428792 KiB free (803599 clusters)" And, then responded (in Red) "Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk."
After I checked "Repair Disk" it responded: "Volume repair complete. Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required."
After then checking the flash drive the 'lost' folder and files are still not present.
I've been looking on the WEB for 'recovery programs' for MAC. I'd just as soon find a 'free' application, but would consider purchasing a program if it would work. What do you know about these 'recovery programs':
    http://www.wondershare.net/ad/data-recovery-mac.html?gclid=CKuo48CPn8ICFY_m7Aodx jYABQ
    http://help.cleverfiles.com/usb-flash-drive-recovery/
    http://www.iskysoft.com/disk-recovery/usb-flash-drive-recovery-mac.html
    http://www.easeus.com/mac/mac-data-recovery-resource/recover-mac-usb-drive.htm
Have you had any experience using any of them? There are many more out there including ones that will 'scan' your flash drive ('free') and tell you what files it can recover, then you have to purchase the full program (~$99) to actually recover them. Two of these programs are listed below:
    http://www.macintosh-data-recovery.com/?gclid=CPzujPKOn8ICFQNk7AodqFoAVw

I had even converted 7 of the original '.pages' files to '.pdf' files to eMail some friends in the universal '.pdf' format on Nov. 28th. The '.pdf' files were saved back to the original folder on the flash drive. They, also, cannot be found anywhere!!??
I can re-build the files (~150-200 photo pages from vacation trip back in May), but there were many comments and some special research (maps, etc.) I had included that I would probably not be able to duplicate exactly. Luckily the '.jpg' photos from our trip are still present on the flash drive and also on the camera's memory stick - THANK GOODNESS! However, now I am hoping that one of the recovery programs listed above might solve my problem.
Again, thanks for your help, but I'm not THERE yet!

How can I recover pictures from iphone 4 after it has been restored to factory settings

My little cousin was playing with my iphone and restored it to factory settings. Is there a way to retrive my pictures on the phone?
