I've lost all my ipod songs

hussey · 2006-04-22 06:57:50

after plugging in my ipod I got a message saying "can't read ipod need to use ipod reset" or some lark like that. Now I wanted to backup all my songs, as I am in Oz at the moment and I don't have access to my pc (with all my songs) so I went to go to \ipod_control\music and every directory is blank :mad: so is there…

after plugging in my ipod I got a message saying "can't read ipod need to use ipod reset" or some lark like that.

Now I wanted to backup all my songs, as I am in Oz at the moment and I don't have access to my pc (with all my songs)

so I went to go to <ipod>\ipod_control\music
and every directory is blank :mad:

so is there any utility out there for getting back these songs - that people have tried and tested (rather than guessing at a prog, and shelling out money for and seeing it doesn't work )

I tried a program called recover my files - but the songs it recovered are the same songs over and over again

anyone help me??

please!!

Make sure that you have set (I presume Windows from structure of command) to Show Hidden Files.
Please read the stick, in particular:

If none of the above works - chances are: the HDD/system has become corrupt (Hence the suggestion to recover).
