Problem with Ipod

[AchtungBaby!]

I've got nearly 100gb of my fav music inside the Ipod and don't know why i can't see or manage it anymore..


When open Itunes, got this message that says it can't open it and must restore the ipod settings, erasing all the content


Is there any way to get a back up of the music before restoring the whole settings????


Would hate to lose all this stuff, pls any help would be huge

Re: Problem with Ipod

Reading this stresses me out for you Juan, fingers crossed buddy, but it sounds like your music is gone. You might be able to take it somewhere like a 3rd party to retrieve the data but I doubt Apple will be of much help on this one.

yep, sounds like it's gone. try installing sharepod and see if you can see any music on it.

Re: Problem with Ipod

i'm starting to assume i'll lost all this music but what bothers me the most is that i can still see there are 98gb of "something" inside the Ipod.. Audio, Videos and Photos.. none... "others... 98gb"...


Already installed Sharepod but can read nothing aswell..


Resetting things again, the Ipod will work for the future??? Or it's better to get a new one?


Thanks again, i'm pretty much an idiot with these things

Re: Problem with Ipod

how old is it? if it's done the reset thing, it could be the drive going bad, you're better off getting the flash drive based ipod touch (if you will get a new one).

Have you asked Apple yet? You very well may be able to pay a 3rd party to retrieve all the files.

Old enough i guess..

I'll get a new one tomorrow .. Would you recommend a new one with a big capability or what??

Honestly i can't find a trusty device to keep safe the music i like for a long period of time.. any advice?

Re: Problem with Ipod

If it's only music you're after, then get any flash memory based device. But you can't go wrong with the iPod touch I tell ya. Unless you can find the non-cellular version of the samsung galaxy.
