File recovery! Please help!!

I am in desperate help in needing to recover my photo files from my wife's ipod. I just got a new mac mini and when i was trying to connect the ipod, apparently the sync iphoto button was checked and erased ALL of our photos, includeing every single photo we had of our 1 yr old son. My laptop crashed and the onlt back files I had were on the ipod. I tried to firwire transfer the files from the crashed laptop to the new mini, but it does not work. So, does anyone know how or know who to go to for recovering file from an ipod? It is a 30gb video ipod. I am afraid that if I do not get these files back, we will get divorced. Thanks.

You are going to need some kind of data recovery software. Have a read of this post for some suggestions.

Maybe you should also look at the possibility of taking your laptop to a computer repair shop. They may be able to rescue your files for you.

  • My iTunes won't open! It keeps saying 'The iTunes Library.itl is locked on a locked disk or you not have write permission for this file.' Please Help!

    My iTunes won't open! It keeps saying 'The iTunes Library.itl is locked on a locked disk or you not have write permission for this file.' Please Help!

    this may happen on external drives if:
    The external drive was hotpluged (removed) without going the correct "eject" way
    The iTunes library (database) got corrupted
    First Aid for external drive
    Close iTunes
    Unmount (eject) external drive the right way.
    Mount drive again
    Go to Workplace -> right click external drive -> choose "clean up" This will force the filesystem to rescan the file structure of the drive and rebuilding the file system table and journaling file.
    After the tool shows "done" (could last some time depending on size of drive) restart iTunes
    If your iTunes library is on your internal drive, this may happen
    The system was not shoot down correct, e.g. "pulled the plug"
    The iTunes library (database) got corrupted
    First Aid for internal hard drive
    Close iTunes
    Reboot system
    Go to Workplace -> right click external drive -> choose "clean up"
    After the tool shows "done" (could last some time depending on size of drive)
    Reboot system, restart iTunes
    If none of the above fixes your problem, post here.

  • I can't login, keep geting "Your  Startup Disk is Full" and asking me to delete file. if I cant login how can I delete files? Please help

    I Keep getting "your startup disk is full" ..... "You need to make more space available on your startup disk by deleting file..."  If I can't have an acess, how can I delete files. Please help..

    That means the hard drive of your computer is full, and you don't have enough free space on your computer, to do what you are trying to do. 
    You need to clear up space on your computer. 
    If you hard drive is full, check the following places to ensure they are not holding unwanted data.
    - your trash can in the dock
    - if you use iPhoto, your trash in iPhoto - launch iPhoto, and select trash in the left hand column.  iPhoto has it's own trash, and is often overlooked
    - your download folder - finder / home user / downloads - every time you download something, it stores it here. This is often overlooked as well
    - do you have more than one user on the computer?  If you do, ensure they are needed.  If not, delete them, and the contents of their home folders
    If you hard drive is very full, you may want to consider the following:
    - putting in a newer larger hard drive - (call you local apple store for prices on this)
    - deleting data off your computer
    - moving data to an external drive - (iPhoto Libraries, iTunes Libraries or iMovie events, as they are the biggest space hogs)

  • Iphone 4 Stuck in Recovery, Please help

    Hey guys, I keep trying to restore my iphone 4 but it never completes, it just keeps flashing up:
    the iphone "iphone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9).
    And i cannot get out of recovery mode now!
    Please help i don't know how i can get out of it, I have made a genius bar appointment but the first available time is Sunday
    I have tried all sorts of things, putting it into dfu mode, general recovery mode, uninstalled itunes, reinstalled itunes, tried it on my mac and pc.
    Everything i can think of but it just wont start
    Thanks
    Craig

    Ok lets try this on your Mac:
    Find and delete any and all .ipsw files on your Mac, there should only be one, but delete ALL that you find. It should be located here:
    ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
    Once that's done, reboot your Mac & launch itunes then, see if you can force the phone into recovery mode, reset first as I described earlier:
    Turn your phone off(if you can), if not try to reset: Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release. Then, leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. In your case, select "new".

  • Recovery, Please Help

    Hi Guys.
    I bought a Pavilion DV4 laptop (win 7 HP) and created recovery discs (as you know, we can just do this once!!!), they were 4 discs, but now when I want to recover my laptop, it says insert disc 5 during the process!!! and there isn't any disc 5.
    Please help me, I also asked another person who bought exactly the same model but he also told me that he has only 4 recovery discs.
    Thanks!!!

    this looks like file read error from the disc. if you do not have the media you need to get one from hp.com linke here.

  • Had to uninstall Firefox, now I can't reinstall. Get error message "Can not find archive file." Please help!

    I believe I had some kind of virus attack. I got everything cleaned up. (I HOPE) In the process of cleaning the virus, I unintalled Firefox because it wouldn't open. Kept getting the error message that Firefox was already open and I had to close out of the sessions or restart the computer. After restarting the computer several times and not being able to find any open sessions in task manager, I uninstalled. When trying to reinstall, I get the error message "can not find archive file." I've tried downloading Firefox from cnet as well as the Mozilla site to no avail. Please help. I'm getting tired of using Chrome already!

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • Finder requires password to delete files, Trash does not show deleted files. Please help me resolve.

    Deleting folders/files causes the password pop up interface to appear, does not seem to matter where the file/folder is. After deleting, it should appear in the trash, but does not. Moving files is not affected, with the exception of moving files into Trash. This did not happen in the morning.
    Accessing ~/.Trash gives following message "The folder “.Trash” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents." .Trash is hidden, and i can't view its permission from the Get info page.
    I am the owner of the laptop, i don't understand why this is happening. The other thread with similar problems involved a software upgrade and had problems with moving files also, whereas my MBP was okay this morning, i didn't do anything else from then till now.
    i did a ls -al ~ on the terminal, relevant lines as follows
    drwx------
    10 root  staff  
    340 Jan 18 02:09 .Trash
    compared to desktop, which i had no problems (yet, not sure)
    drwx------+
    30 Mac   staff 
    1020 Jan 18 02:08 Desktop
    i don't understand the notation, reading up about them does not clarify any more then to confuse me further.
    My user is "Mac", ~/ goes to folder "Mac"
    Please help, I have tried booting from save mode, and it is the same.

    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on solving Trash issues. You can also try using Trash It! 5.1 to fix the problem. Or you can try this:
    Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and paste the following at the prompt:
        sudo rm -Rf ~/.Trash
    Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not echo to the screen. Press RETURN again.
