how many file types to recover per search?

Using QphotoRec 7 (64bit)
What is the safe smart efficient way to retrieve all my files off a 4 terabyte usb external hard drive using QphotoRec 7 in terms of how many file types I should recover per search?
- I have tried once searching with all file types selected and 1/3 through the search i noticed it was only creating 4kb files of .apple... which i never even had .apple files on my hard drive!?
- i have tried searching one time with about 7 file types selected, and then it created a bunch of 25 gigabyte files of audio files (.ape) selected!
so now i'm under the assumption i should only select 1 file type and run an entire search on a 4 terabyte hard drive each time.. ?
any suggestions?
thanks,
windows 8.1
