How to recover deleted files from iPod

All the contents of my iTunes music folder were deleted. When I connected my iPod it was autosynced with the empty iTunes music folder and everything on the iPod got deleted too. (No warning, no undo.) Does anyone know of a utility proven to recover files deleted from an iPod in this way. Looking for something someone has actually tried with success. Have already tried a couple of scans of the ipod with google results.

  • How to recover lost files from ipod touch 3rd gen after sync?

    I synchronized my ipod touch in a new computer and it deleted all my files, and I did not have a back up neither my old sync computer. How can I recover my files?

    Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Is a backup listed with the date/time you synced?
    Do you have an iCloud backup?
    If yo use the same iCloud ID you should still have you contacts, calendar and other iCloud stuff.

  • How to recover Deleted file from HARD DISK

    By mistake my entire AVCHD file of 90 Mts  duration was deleted from my Hard Disk, this  I realised after a week., in the meantime I have not added or deleted any file from this hard Disk. I had given my this hard disk to my service engineer to recover the video., he has tried and recover some 40 mb file., but I cant open this recovered video file in Premiere or any other video convertor programme., also I cant get any information about Video.
    Can anybody in the forum help me and suggest how to recover my deleted Video from the Hard disk

    Hi, hard disk data loss is actually a hard task for many users 'cause most of them think this kind of problems is a complicated situation. Here are some tips you need to know after data loss happened.
    1. If you meet the file loss situation, keep calm and stop using your computer to do any read or write operation until you find the way to recover the lost files because any wrong operation.
    2. If you've lost a file, time is of the essence. As new files saved to Mac hard drive or storage devices, the original files gets overwritten. So do not use the drive or disk which your deleted files are stored before at all, until you have completed the scanning and recovery process.
    3. The system crashed or the files loss situation happens occasionally, so remember build a backup for the files periodically is strongly needed.
    4. If you meet the file loss situation again, stop using the Mac or storage device right now, use another computer to process the files recovery.
    5. Remember this, no matter at the normal time or after files recovery, build a backup for the files periodically is the best method to protect your files from data loss situation.

  • How to recover deleted files from a shared volume?

    Setup - Mac Mini Server (OSX 10.8.4, Server 2.2.1(169)), 256GB Flash drive, System data only.  External 8TB G-Raid holds all business data, backed up to a LaCie 6TB Quadra using Intego Backup Manager Pro 1.0.9.  The G-Raid has two folders 0_Clients and  DATA which are shared through OS X Server.
    Situation, told customer backup drive (LaCie) was almost full mid April, purge data.  They didn't and backups stopped running at end of April.  Yesterday, they accidentally deleted a folder / with files.  User was on an iMac, connected to the share DATA when deleted.  Called in a panic of course.  New folder and files were created after the last back was executed.
    Question - Folder and files were deleted but Trash was not "emptied".  Researching, I learned about hidden trash folders.  So, I was hopeful I'd find the info in the hidden /.Trashes folder on the shared Volume G-Raid.  My understanding is that that's where it would go, until an "empty trash" is executed.  I've shown all hidden files / folders via "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE".  Navigated to the volume G-Raid/.Trashes and the folder/ files are not there.  Is there another location where they may possibly be??? Or, are they hosed and it's really gone "Deleted"???
    Thx

    With a locally connected volume e.g. a hard disk or USB flash drive, when you delete a file it does get moved to the 'Trash' folder and until the Trash is emptied can still be retrieved. However with a network volume if a logged in user deletes a file or folder it normally gets deleted immediately. (The user would get a message saying "This item will be deleted immediately. You can’t undo this action.")
    So the likelihood is that the items are not in any trash folder even if you found and looked in them.
    It used to be the case that even when using a network file server you still had the benefit of files first going to the trash folder but Apple stopped doing this a long time ago. The network trash folder would be at the top level of the network share. (If it exists and works.) Some NAS devices might still support it but as I mentioned I don't believe Apple themselves do.
    So you could try using Terminal.app to look for an invisible folder at the top-level folder of the network share, if the network share is a folder called 'Fred' then this invisible folder would be in 'Fred' and would be called "Network Trash Folder". You can try looking for this either on the server or from a logged in client.
    Do ls -la in Terminal.app the 'a' flag means show all including invisible files.
    As you have probably guessed by now it is almost certainly the case these files are lost and cannot be retrieved. The users unfortunately are guilty of multiple mistakes.
    They ignored your warning about the backup drive
    They deleted something they should not have
    They ignored the warning the Mac would have shown about "This item will be deleted immediately. You can’t undo this action."
    I would add an additional error that they and perhaps you as their advisor are guilty of. Never rely on a single level of backup, ideally you should have a rotating set of backups i.e. one for each day - Monday, Tuesday, etc. and even more importantly should store these off-site unless being used so that in the even of a fire, flood or other disaster you still have intact backups.
    In theory ACL permissions can be set to allow reading, allow writing but disallow deleting. Unfortunately in the real world trying to use the disallow deleting option is a waste of time. This is because many programs 'save' changes by saving a new temporary file, deleting the original file, and renaming the temporary file to the original name. This will not work if you block deleting.

    How i can recover deleted files from icloud,,I had a backup copy on iCloud for whatsapp application and I lost it,,I need bring it back what I have to do

    You can't download pictures from iCloud by logging into icloud.com.  If you deleted pictures from camera roll AND photo stream, the only possibility is preforming a restore from an iCloud backup, assuming the backup has the pictures in it.  (Many users have been unable to restore and get back their pictures.)
    If the restore doesn't have all the pictures, then they are gone.
    In the future, use photo stream to sync photos from an iPhone to a computer, then copy the photos on the computer from the photo stream album into a permanent album.  Photo stream pics stay there only for 30 days, and only up to 1000 photos are stored.  Don't use photo stream as a storage medium, it's only for copying photos from one device to another.  Always copy (either via USB cable or photo stream) to a computer and then move to an album.

  • How do I delete photos from iPod Touch?  Some photos do not have the trash basket option!

    How do I delete photos from iPod Touch?  Some photos do not have the trash basket option!
    When I first synced my iPod Touch with my laptop, it uploaded a lot of photos onto the iPod.  I now wish to delete those but it does not seem as a straight forward option!

    For photos synced to the iPod you have to unsync them:
    To delete photos from your device
    In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Sync photos from."
    On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
    On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Click Apply.

  • Is it possible to recover deleted files from the Microsoft Word app for iPhone? I am desperate.

    Is it possible to recover deleted files from the Microsoft Word app for iPhone? I am desperate.

    From the Microsoft Word app they say "Access Word documents from OneDrive, Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive for Business, or SharePoint" so it sounds like you can specify where they are saved. However, my guess would be that the default will be OneDrive.
    To the OP: Have you tried logging into onedrive.live.com to see if you can see your letter there?

    Possibly a professional data rescue firm can try, but that will cost you a four-figure sum.
