iPod recovery does not refer to nursing back to health a sick MP3 player. What we are talking about when we discuss recovery from an iPod is connecting that music player to a desktop or laptop computer and using special software installed on that computer to scan the digital storage of our the device with the purpose of locating any deleted MP3 or MP4 files. Considering that the average iTunes song costs at least a dollar and that it is entirely possible to build an inventory of 1000 great songs, it is no surprise that when we accidentally delete or find mysteriously missing many of our treasured music files, we must immediately take steps to recover them.
Although our software was designed to be a general purpose data and file rescue tool, it is also a great utility for iPod recovery. Connect your music player to your computer and startup FileFinder. Direct the application to scan through your device as if it were any other type of digital storage such as a USB flash drive or camera memory card. FileFinder will look over your iPods’ memory and make a list for you of every song shown as available, those that have been deleted and any songs that were damaged or incomplete.
