Dropped my Ipod and it cracked open, need to recover data

ladies and gents,
I have an ipod 30 gig and I dropped it for the last time, now the battery is disconnected and I think the ribbon broke but I just tried to connect it to the port at the bottom and it says on the screen "please wait, very low battery" now I didnt even think it would respond with no battery but I was wondering is there a way that I can recover the data off the hard drive? the hard drive is still connected! anyways if you could help me out I have some very important videos on there, thanks Craig

I'd suggest you contact a company called iResQ (www.iresq.com) as they may be able to assist you by fixing your iPod, or atleast doing some data recovery... They are a great organization who I've sold my old & broken iPods to in the past which I can not use any more... They have this service to help people like you get working again...
Good Luck!

    If you can access the device: Tap Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings.
    If you can't do that then you need to Restore it as New:
    Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
    1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
    4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
    5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
    6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.
    You can also try using DFU mode:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • I droped my ipod and it cracked i dont know if it still has a warranty I got it last year.

    I droped my ipod and it cracked but it still works i got it last year but I dont know if it still has a warranty.

    Whether it has a warranty or not doesn't matter. The warranty does not cover user abuse. Replacements are $99 (8GB), $149 (32GB) or $199 (64GB). Basically half the price that Apple would sell a brand new one for.

  • I dropped my phone and it cracked and wont power on. It powers on for a second and it turns off does not vibrate or anything. how can I fix this problem?

    I dropped my phone and it cracked and it wont power on it sometimes powers on but it immediately shuts back off what do I do

    You broke your phone.  What's so hard to understand?
    Bring your phone to Apple for evaluation and likely replacement.

  • HT1529 I turned on my macbook and it says it needs to recover the disk

    I turned on the macbookpro and it says it needs to recover the disk but there is no disk to recover from. How do I repair the disk?

    Restart while holding both the Command and R keys, that will start from the recovery hard drive...then go to Utilities and Disk Utility and Repair hard drive.  See if that is what it wants you to do.

  • MacBook Pro HD issues; won't boot to any drive; need to recover data

    *Apologies in advance for the lengthy post. I just want to be sure I include as much detail as possible. Thanks in advance for reading all of this and offering any thoughts and suggestions.
    I have a 13-inch late 2011 MacBook Pro running OS 10.7.
    The computer recently began booting slower and slower until finally one day it did nothing but show the gray boot screen with the apple and a spinning circle and/or progress bar at the bottom. It won't do anything else. I assume it's the HD; no surprise there. What's killing me is that no matter what I do, I can't boot to any disk, internal or external, can't mount it in target disk mode, and can't repair it or recover data, which is a first for me with any HD. However, the computer still clearly sees the drive, and the drive sounds and runs normally (meaning no clicks; appropriate amount of whirs and such).
    What I've done so far:
    Reset PRAM — no help
    Reset SMC — no help
    Boot in Safe Mode — same result as regular boot: gray logo screen with spinning wheel
    Disk Utility message:
    Verify Disk — "Error: This disk nees to be repaired. Click Repair Disk."
    Repair Disk — gets as far as "Checking catalog file" then shows "Keys out of order". Next is "Rebuilding catalog B-tree." Then "The volume Macintosh HD could not be repaired."
    fsck — same as Disk Utility: "Keys out of order (4, 22016)", "Rebuilding catalog B-tree", then "The volume Macintosh HD could not be repaired." FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED." ...over and over again
    If I hold Option while starting the computer, it gives me only two drives to boot from, regardless of any other external HDs or flash drives I have attached: Macintosh HD (internal), and Recovery HD (internal partition). If I choose Macintosh HD, it's hit or miss whether it prompts the Disk Utility screen or just gray-screens forever. If I choose Recovery HD, it successfully runs Disk Utility every time. Here's the thing, though — if I attach an external HD, it doesn't see it during the initial Option-startup. However, from Disk Utility I'm able to select a startup disk from the menu to restart into. It sees the externals in there every time and lets me select them as startup disks, but upon restart it returns to the gray Apple logo screen with spinning wheel and/or progress bar at bottom. Sometimes it also sees the internal Macintosh HD here, but selecting that is useless. I can't actually boot from any disk, internal or external, running full OS or even just recovery software.
    I've tried using TechTool Pro 8's edisk and ProToGo bootable drives, but again, the MacBook only sees them from Disk Utility only (not on Option-start), and I can select them, but it doesn't actually boot to them; it reverts back to gray screen.
    I've installed a full version of OS 10.10.2 on an external hard drive, complete with DiskWarrior 4 on it, but same problem as above — it sees it in the "Select Startup Disk" menu, but not in the initial Option-start or successful reboot.
    I've tried booting from a DiskWarrior 4 DVD using C-startup. It recognizes and spins the DVD from the get-go. Eventually it boots to it (after about 20 minutes or so of reading the DVD). I'm able to launch DiskWarrior 4 and start a rebuild. However, it goes all the way through "Step 6: Constructing optimized replacement directory... Overlapped files detected: 7 ...Step 7: Finishing construction ...Step 8: Reading from disc, one moment please..." and then the computer kernel panicked. This happened several times. I reset the PRAM again, then retried DiskWarrior DVD boot, this avoided a kernel panic and it got as far as "Comparing directories... Step 9: Recording any file or folder differences; 3,449,089,956 tests..." and then DiskWarrior and the computer both freeze and I have to force shutdown.
    The drive will not mount to another laptop in Target Disk Mode.
    Disk Arbitrator immediately sees the the faulty laptop HD, but won't let me mount or unmount it. It's just there, grayed out.
    Data Rescue 4 is able to see the faulty laptop HD through Target Disk Mode, even though the drive itself will not mount to my desktop. I am able to scan the drive using DR4, and start a data recovery process. However, DR4 is dumping all recovered data into "User Defined" ai (Adobe Illustrator) files, which makes absolutely no sense at all. What's more, the files aren't able to be opened by any program. Even files that it hasn't recovered into ai files, like txt and mpegs, cannot be opened. I've tried recovering from both the drive itself and from a clone of the drive (made through DR4), with the same result each time.
    So, all of that said, I guess my first question is what the **** is going on? The drive mechanically is functioning fine, but there seems to be an issue with its readability (and the directory/files?).
    What's more, why won't this laptop mount ANY drive? I should be able to Option-boot into any drive, especially if the USB ports, drives, and OS's are all fully functional, right? Is there any workaround I'm missing? Even if the internal drive and data are just screwed, what's causing a total lack of mounting or booting of any drive, internal or external?

    Holy crap, I got it to work.
    Essentially, I just waited until DiskWarrior reached Step 9 and told it to skip the step before it had a chance to freeze. It skipped successfully, moved on, rebuilt and replaced the faulty directory files.
    So far the computer is booting like normal, I can log in, and I'm currently copying all of the data to an external as I type this.
    I still have no idea why the computer wouldn't mount or boot to any drive, but I guess I'll deal with that later.

  • Blue Screen on Satellite P100 - need to recover data

    On switching on my laptop yesterday I was faced with a blue screen error message which even after running chkdisk keeps on appearing, even when rebooting in safe mode.
    The problem is I only have Toshiba recovery disks (not an XP disk - XP was pre-installed on the laptop) and they say on them using the recovery disk wipes the computer and I need to recover data on the hard drive before reformatting.
    I've taken the laptop to the local repair centre and they say they have to reformat and dont do data recovery.
    Any suggestions gratefully received.

    Thanks very much for your replies and apologies for the delay in replying but I have only just managed to get my laptop reconfigured and get back online!!!
    I took the laptop to the local Toshiba repair centre and they ran some tests and said that there was no problem with the hardware. However, when I took the machine to a specialist company to get the data recovered they reported 'serious errors in the file allocation table'. They managed to recover most of my data but when the hard drive was re-formatted the problems returned so I had to purchase a new hard drive which wasnt cheap.
    My laptop is under warranty and I am a little annoyed that they said there was no problem with the hard drive when there patently was. I would like to reocover the money from Toshiba spent on the drive. (laptop under warranty)
    Many thanks in anticipation.

  • I dropped my Ipod and now the click wheel is not working anymore

    Hey! I hope you can help me! I dropped my Ipod today, and now the Click wheel doesn't work anymore! The IPod broke open, but I put it together again! When I came home I connected it with the computer to see if "its" alive. And it connected and updated and everything was okay, instead of the Click wheel control! When it dropped there was "Hold" and now I can't deactivate "Hold". So I think, maybe the click wheel doesn't work because "Hold" was activated the moment the ipod dropped! BUt I don't know! Maybe something inside the ipod a soldering joint got torn apart, or something, I don't know! I just know the click wheel doesn't work, anything else seems to be okay! Can anyone help me???

    hey and whops about dropping your ipod...
    heres what i think but im not an ipod know it all so what i say might not help but any way...
    And it connected and updated and everything was okay, instead of the Click wheel control!
    well this sound okay so it probly isnt anything to do with the hard drive if it is updating ect...
    I think it would have to do with the fact that the hold lock was on... have you tried jigling the hold switch back and forward a bit? that often helps...other wise i think you should take it to an apple store and see what they can do.
    Hope it fixes

  • Dropped my ipod and now it makes a clicking sound and won't turn on at all. is it cheaper to get a new one or fix this one?

    i have tile floors and i dropped my ipod classic flat on its back while it was off. i tried turning it on after that and it now it makes a clicking sound and won't even turn on. all it shows is a dead ipod and told me to go to apple.com/support/ipod. i'm not sure how to fix it or if it's even fixable. or is it just cheaper to get a new one?

    If the phone will not power on try these three things:
    Connect it to your phone charger
    Connect it to your computer and open up iTunes
    Perform a hard reset (Hold down the sleep/wake (top) button at the same time as the home (circle) button for 45 seconds. When the apple appears on the screen let go of both buttons.

  • I have dropped my ipad and have cracked the screen. Now the ipad will no longer detect or connect to wifi signals. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated

    I have dropped my ipad and shattered the screen badly. A new problem that has only come since the cracking of the screen is that the ipad will now no longer detect or connect to ipad signals. I have tried all the solutions i have found online but none worked.

    It will cost approximately US$219 to US$299 depending on the model.
    Apple will replace the entire iPad; they don't repair.
    If you had purchased AppleCare+ when you bought the device, you would be entitled to up to two replacements over a 2 year period for $49 each.

  • TS1559 I recently dropped my Ipod and had to restore it i was successful to an extent in terms of just retrieving my songs and not my apps but my real problem is that I am unable to get wi-fi let alone tap on the wi-fi button HELP?

    I recently dropped my ipod touch 32GB 3rd gen. which i had to restore. I was successful to an extent meaning i got most of my songs back minus my apps. but my real issue is that i can't connect to the internet as my ipod says "no wi-fi", the wi-fi icon is also unclickable as it is greyed out. im really lost on what to do any help would be appreciated.

    I think you're right about the hardware problem, i've restored my ipod and the network countless times and it hasn't worked unfortunately but thanks anyway much appreciated. Just one final question, if I take my ipod into an apple store say one in my town centre, are they likely to be able to help me seeing as im not very technically gifted :L

  • Ipod and Outlook Calendar (help needed)

    Does anybody know how could I add the location field (from calendar event's details) in the syncronising data going to Ipod ?
    Many thanx.

    The iPod calendar doesn't display the location field although it is sync'd. You need to put your location information into the description field.
    I wrote a Perl script that can be used to edit the calendar files on the iPod and move the location into description automatically, and it is available on my website <http://its.usc.edu/~bbellina/downloads>, however you would need to have Perl installed on your Windows PC to use it. It should be compatible with Outlook vcs files. You would use it after you sync your calendars.
