Ok so about 1 hour ago I plugged my Ipod into the computer Itunes came up and for some annoying reason just restarted my Ipod to it's factory settings..

I hadn't backed it up because I was going to do that this weekend.

I have just lost about 30GIG worth of documents & photos on my Ipod. I really need these back because there are a lot of extremely important documents on there including your documents beloved SAU events!

I rang up a few Data recovery companies but they say it will be about $270 + GST

Does anyone have any other Ideas as to what I can do to get these documents back..

Please help :ermm:

If there are any questionable photographs on it I'd be happy to have a look at it for you :ermm:

Have you looked around for data recovery software?

If you right click "my computer" and go to manage does your ipod come up as an extra drive on the computer?

No they are not questionable photos!

They are every SAU event are more so!

Not really I don't want to touch it and f**k it up :ermm:

Not on this computer it doesn't I did on my co workers and it comes up but it's all the factory settings :ermm:

Whatever you do corinne, DO NOT load anything onto the iPod... If you do, you'll be overwriting your files permanently.

Have you tried this: http://www.recovermyfiles.com/ipod-recovery.php ??

Most likely its just the fat table thats been deleted so the files are still there, you just need software to recover it. If you write anything onto the ipod though it will overwrite your old stuff.

Dont you have another copy of the data? How is it possible to have a copy of the data on the ipod without having another copy on the computer? Doesnt it have to 'sync' with the computer to copy the data off? :confused:

Hehe.. let me know if either of those programs work. i'd be interested to know for the future.

By the way... I wouldnt recommend following barons advice about just plugging it into another computer. If itunes on the other PC tries to sync files to the device it will wipe your data for sure :ermm:

I know.

I wouldn't take Barons advice if he paid me, he's so dodgy.. :D

I don't have it synced to one computer. I do it manually so that I can steal everyone else's music.

sif. the baron knows what he's doing.

*note use the baron's advice at your own risk. any accidental permanent data loss is the sole responsibility of the numpty with the ipod. Baron corp and it's employees accept no liability for any such loss.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
