Any way to restore music and photos if iPod when all erased due to interrupted sync?

is there any way to restore music and photos on iPod when all erased due to interrupted sync?

You said the music and photos were all erased from the iPod? And now you say your computer and all backups are gone. There is therefore no way to recover your files short of paying thousands of dollars to a professional data recovery laboratory and even then there's no guarantee you'll get all of it – or even some of it – back.

HT1329 Is there any way to get music and photos from a mac formatted iPod classic to a windows computer if you do not have a mac computer?

I HAD a mac and lets just say it got destroyed. My only hope of getting my music and baby pics back is if I can get my Mac formatted iPod Classic to up load onto my Toshiba Windows7 laptop. Is there any way of doing this or is all hope lost?

The following says how to restore from backup.

If you go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices you can see if you have an iTunes backup. You need one dated before or the exact time you started the restore.

Any way to restore iTunes and iPhoto libraries from failed Time Machine backup?

Is there a way to restore iTunes and iPhoto libraries from an unmountable Time Machine backup?
Background: I received an update alert on my iMac (mid-2010, 1TB) from Time Machine (wirelessly connected to a Time Capsule, 2TB 2013) that it required an update and required rebooting, of course, it happened when I was in the middle of a project and I postponed the restart for later. That evening I turned off the computer and coincidentally the next morning, the iMac would not start; it loaded to the Apple logo and about an 1/8 of the progress bar would load before the iMac would turn off.
The iMac had been fine to that day (OS upgrades and all since 2010) so I was assuming something misfired when I declined the Time Machine update. I tried the PRAM and SMC resets mentioned in the forums but no dice. I then went into Disk Utility to try repairs and there were errors on the hard drive that could not be fixed. My next step was to erase the drive and restore from my Time Machine backup. Before doing that I checked Disk Utility and to my horror, it told me that my Time Machine backups were unmountable so of course my first thought was that all my files were gone.
The TC was under warranty so I called support and they referred me to the local Genius Bar. The Genius was great and showed me that my files weren't lost even though the Time Machine backup was unmountable. They recommended I erase the partitions, starting from scratch and I would have to transfer the Time Machine backup files manually by directly connecting an ethernet cable from the TC to the computer. If that didn't work, the hard drive was bad and needed replacement which they could take care of.
I followed their recommendation and the hard drive is fine. I was so relieved to hear that my files were safe that I forgot to ask about all of the metadata that was lost in iTunes (de-selected songs, playlists, rankings, play counts) and iPhoto (geotags, names, etc). Any ideas / help? I sank considerable time into my music and photos and would love to have that time back.
FWIW, I'm in the process of buying an external hard drive as a secondary backup to the TC as my confidence is a little shaken on the product line - the first time I ever actually need a backup and the backup is unmountable. My whole point of spending a little more and buying into the Apple ecosystem for a backup solution was to streamline the backup process and avoid these types of issues.

Thank you for the reply. I tried the Disk Utility to repair my TC's Time Machine backup disk with no luck, it stopped with the message:
Disk utility stopped repairing "iMac"
Disk Utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
It took a night but I was able to copy all the TC Time Machine files to the external hard drive as a backup to a backup just in case. I'm still pretty bummed the TC's backup didn't allow for Disk Utility's restore functionality. Fortunately, the iPhoto library backup I dragged to the iMac from the Time Capsule backup worked without a hitch. On the downside, the "iTunes Library.itl" backup I dragged over is locked so now I'm checking out the forums for any ways to fix that. I temporarily created a new iTunes library with all my apps and music but plan on reverting to the old iTunes library if possible so I can start syncing my iOS devices again.

Hi Louis
It is possible, you just need one of those programs - search google, names like irip etc.
Once you have the program it will bring everything up again in your itunes program, I found even deleted songs that were brought back. Fantastic feature...
Don't let anyone say you can't! it is possible, just something your not suppose to do with apple.

Best way to export music and photos from PB G4 / MB to new imac 27

Hello,
I'd like to transfer Music, including playlists (currently on a PB G4) and Pictures, including slideshows, (on a MB) to a new imac. Both are backed up to the same Time Capsule.
I have an additional copy of the pictures (dragged to an external HD from Finder> Pictures> iphoto library> Show Package Contents> originals.
The PB and MB both run OS X 10.5.
There seems to be a number of methods, each with their benefits, but I would like to maintain the music and pictures in precisely the same format.
What method would you recommend, and will I be able to sync ipods previously sync'd with the PB to the new imac once the data is transferred?
Many thanks,
Andrew.

Andrew:
Please do post back if you have further questions.
I have found that it works better for me to open two Finder windows and position them one above the other. The top window I use as the Source from which I am moving stuff, the lower window is the Destination. I navigate to the location on the source and then to the Destination and simply drag the file or files.

Getting store music and photos from Ipod into itunes

Hi
Recently i rebooted my computer hard drive and i erased all the info including itunes now that all is well, when i attach my ipod i would like the music over 600 on the ipod to be converted back to itunes is that possible and if yes how do i accomplish that?

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Just updated 10.5 now has location service and others-IOS-ICLOUD etc. If I hit agree will there be charges I can't find a straight answer. Now I just use my 3 gen. IPOD touch for music and photos. Thanks to all. Tom

The ipod touch wants me to chose or decline these new features. They sound good but I don't want to get any extra charges. Now use for music and phjotos only. Don't want to decline if these are worth while. Thanks to all. Tom Toucch is 3 gen

Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks

Music and Photos on iPhone and iPod

I first got an iPod nano, then I bought an iPhone. I'm trying to get my iTunes music and photos onto iPhone but it won't let me. Is there a way to get music and photos on both devices? Will I have to create another iTunes account on the same computer and upload my music all over again or is there a better way? Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

No. I sync three ipods and an iphone to the same itunes account and library.
How are you trying to get music on it?
You have to select the options from the tabs in itunes.
Perhaps a review of the manual would help:

I have an old Apple TV with built in hard drive is it possible to retrive Music and Photo's ?

I recently had a new Hard Drive fitted into my MacBook Pro and could not retrieve files from the old drive, however I do have an old Apple TV (one of the old ones with built in Hard Drive).
Does anyone know if there is a way of retrieving Music and Photo"s from the Old Apple TV onto my MacBook Pro"s new Hard Drive?

To the best of my knowledge I dont think thats possible unless you take the device apart and connect the drive inside to a Mac with a cradle.
