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 music from my iPod Touch 4th Gen back onto my PC?

    I accidentally deleted my iTunes Library file today and when I add all of my music back on it has music I don't want on it and none of my playlists are there (There are over 1000 songs on my computer and I only want about 200 of them). I thought that I could use all of the files from my iPod and put them onto my PC. After a while searching I couldn't find a way and have resorted to here. I'd prefer not to download separate software or redownload my files because my internet is painfully slow at the moment (0.8mbps). I just want a quick and easy way to put all of my stuff from my iPod back onto my computer. It's stupid how Apple make it so easy to put music onto the iPod but make it impossible to do the opposite. (Stupid industry standard safety, eBay and Amazon haven't even got this much security!). My iPod is running IOS 6.1.3 and my PC is Microsoft (much much much much.... better then Apple ) Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Thanks!

    For non-Tunes purchases yo need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

  • Can I watch videos from my iPod touch 4th gen on my tv

    I have purchased a composite video AV cable to TV RCA cable to watch my videos from my iPod touch through my tv. The lead apparently works with all ipod touch and iPhone 4, and all software updated, but I can not change my video settings to play through the tv as I don't have the option to change to tv out.
    Does anyone know how to get around this?
    Thanks

    Ok, I have music videos on my iPod, purchased from iTunes and I want to view them on my tv. I bought the cable as I was told this would work. If you can't view a video bought from iTunes on a tv, what can you view?
    All connections are correct, the iPod states that the video is being played through a tv, but nothing shows up on my screen. And yes, I do know which channel to switch to. I just don't have the option on my iPod or iPhone to switch to tv out, whether the cable is plugged in or not. Every where I look for info it says I need to change my options to video out on my iPod settings, but it's not an option available. All I get on my tv is a plain screen as if nothing is connected.

  • HT1414 How can I really reset a frozen Ipod Touch (4th gen.) when none of the usual tips work????

    My Ipod touch (4th generation) froze in the "Connect to Itunes" screen, while updating to the latest OS. Neither resetting (hoding on/of and front button), connecting to Itunes or draining the battery (tried that twice) changes anything. Is there anyone with an REAL answer (already read all the forums I could find).

    Check to see if you tried all the following. I think you have
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How can I transfer music from my iPod touch (4th generation) to my computer if it was not purchased in iTunes

    Recently, my PC was reset to factory settings and obviously, my music was not kept on my computer. I understand that iTunes can recover music that was purchased through iTunes, but that is not the case. If I downloaded or ripped music to my computer from any outside source, how can I restore this to my computer. Help is greatly appreciated. thanks

    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

  • How can I play music from my ipod Touch (5th gen.) on my car radio?

    Hi--I used to use a cassette adapter to play my iPod nano. Obviously it's an older car, a 2004 Toyota. Is there an adapter I can use to connect my new iPod to the car radio? Thanks.

    If the car has an AUX IN you can use a cable between the iPOd's headphone jack and the AUX IN.
    If the car has an FM radio yo can purchase a FM transmitter for the iPod. Some connect to headphone jack and some to the dock connector
