How to recover lost video files after iOS 5 upgrade?

I upgraded iTunes today to iOS 5, and lost all my video files from my iPod touch.  When I checked iTune on my laptop, I could still see some of the video file listed under the device name and library.  However, I see nothing on my iPOD.  when I tried to sync them back to iPod, I got nothing either.  when I tried to reload some of the video files, I could see the number of video files (movies) added up.  However, I still cannot find any of the files from my iPod touch.  it's very frustrating just to go through with all the attempts.  please help.  thanks.

If their on your iTunes on your computer, try plugging in your iPod and dragging the files from the iTunes Library on your computer to the library on your iPod.  Hope it helps(:

  • How to recover lost video files after restoring from back up

    I recently had to restore my ipad completely one day in order to update it and I was in a rush. So I took my iPad before I could restore it from a back up. So I set up the iPad as a "new" iPad and just started using it. I bought iMovie with my iTunes account on the "new" iPad and started filming from the iPad for a school project. So I edited the footage in iMovie and had a finished project. Then I went home that night and decided to just upload my most recent back up from my old iPad. In doing so I lost ALL my footage. iMovie still has everything in the correct place and says that my project is just missing some files. Is there ANYWAY I can get this footage back? Isn't it still on the iPad somewhere? Please someone help me out!

  • How to recover lost pages files after iPad update?

    My friend lost all his pages and numbers documents that were on his iPad after updating yesterday. anyone know how to get them back? they weren't saved anywhere but the iPad. are the pages and numbers files stored during the device backup?

    Thanks. If it does an automatic backup when you connect it, which it seems this iPad does, then there will never be an older backup to restore from, is that right?
    Is there any other way..?
    Yes - it will backup automatically. You can prevent iTunes from syncing automatically - which in turn prevents iTunes from backing up automatically as well - but when you do initiate the sync - it will always backup the iPad.
    However, I have read that if you watch the progress bar at the top of the iPad when the sync process begins - you can click on the X in the progress bar to stop it from backing up and it will move to the next step in the sync process. I have never tried that myself. I would only use that method if the sync was hanging up from a bad backup and that would be another problem in itself - so you really don't want to do that.
    What you can do is create a manual backup and then copy  that backup (don't remove it) into another folder on your hard drive. But you have to turn off auto sync so you can control the backup process.
    I do not sync automatically - never have. If you want to turn off auto sync - Launch iTunes on your computer - go to Edit>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically.
    Then when you connect the iPad and iTunes starts up, you can right click on the iPad name on the left and select backup. If you want to keep that backup that you just created - don't sync. Eject the iPad and quit iTunes and find the backup and copy it to another folder on your hard drive.
    Read this article for more information on where you can find the backup folder.

    To finally answer your specific question about having older backups - I do have 4 older backups of my iPad. I can't remember if they were created when I've restored my iPad - which I have done several times - or when the iOS was updated. Like I said - I did restore after the recent iOS update - to a backup that I created prior to the update. It was dated two days prior.
    I hope I have given you some useful information - and not confused you further. I wish someone else would jump in on this thread and clarify the backup question that even I have - where did they all come from ...

  • How to recover hidden video files on Zen X-Fi

    Hi all,
    The screen cracked on my Zen X-Fi, so nothing is visible. I think it also may somehow be out of power and not rechargable.
    What I need to do is recover some of the videos I had on there, but I had them as "hidden" video files.
    Is there some way to hook the X-Fi up to my computer, use it as an external disk, find the hidden files, and copy them? I can't even get it to look like an external disk in Windows Explorer.
    Any ideas? I'd be grateful. Thank you.

    How long do you have it plugged in to charge? Leave it plugged in for an hour to see if there is any response.
    If it's completely dead then I am afraid you won't be able to transfer the files back to your computer. There are third-party vendors that offer data recovery services for a fee, you might want to do a google search for them.

  • Is it possible to recover lost video files from a backup gone wrong?

    Hi, my brother in-law was backing up his Macbook (OS X 10.7.5) videos to a seagate eternal hard drive and I managed to accidentally knock it and disconnect it during the process.  Some of the videos were still on the computer but some got deleted. is there any way to recover these files??
    Thanks

    It sounds like the files are gone. In the future if something is important, have it backed up in more than one place.
    If you don't have a clone backup it's time to start. Just like a seat belt and an air bag protect you in different ways when driving, you need both Time Machine and a clone for full protection.
    Storing files "in the Cloud" is also helpful. I like DropBox, but there are other services like Microsoft's OneDrive, box.com etc that are helpful. I like DropBox because it allows you to upload files larger than 2GB.

  • Updated and factory reset macbookpro, how to recover lost videos from the application "front row"

    Desperately need an answer, every response is appreciated.

    What do you mean you factory reset it?
    If you erased & reinstalled the OS then I'm afraid to tell you that those items are gone.
    A data recovery company may be able to recover files but it could be difficult or impossible depending on the disk type & how it was setup.
    You need to avoid writing any new data to a disk that will be recovered from to stand the best chance of finding deleted files. Power off the Mac & leave it off until you have decided on a course of action.
    Don't you have any backups at all?

  • Recovering lost music files after itunes 7 upgrade

    Newbe here; I recently downloaded and installed ITUNES7.0.1(25.7MB)UPGRADE and was horrified to discover my ENTIRE music library disappeared(or deleted!)-how did this happen?

    No it looks like I tunes deleted all my mp3s also. When I first ran 7 it crashed and I had to reboot. When I looked at my mp3 directory all files are gone and on this new system they can't be found anywhere else. Even undeletion software hasn't been able to find them.

  • How to recover lost phone contacts after Sync ?

    My Nokia 6230 was full of contacts.
    My MacBook Pro adress book was empty.
    After syncing, my phone is empty... I have no backup !
    When iSync deletes a contact from the phone, does it store the information somewhere on the mac before ?
    Is there any chance for me to recover my phone numbers ?
    Thanks for your help.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Your contacts are not backed up as they are removed - they are simply removed. Unless you had previously backed up the contents of your mobile handset in some manner, there is no possibility of recovering your records.
    iSync executed what it believed you wanted it to do: a command to replace the contents of your mobile handset with the contents of an empty Address Book, rather than merge records from the two devices. Generally, you are given a choice of Merge or Replace when performing a first-time synchronization.

  • How to recover lost video on Iphone

    I was videotaping something using my iPhone, and right at the end it said I had no space left and cut off, but now I can only view a short part at the beginning of the file. Is there any way to recover the last part as it was a pretty special memory. Please help, any advice would be very helpful, thanks.

    It is not possible to delete any of the built in applications, so there are only a few possibilities as to what happened:
    *You accidently moved it to a different home screen page or into a folder on the home screen.
    *You disabled in in Restrictions (Settings/General/Restrictions)
    *You connect to a corporate Microsoft Exchange Server, and your server manager has set a security policy on your phone that disables the app store.
