Recovering mp3 files from an ipod only A-J?
Posted: 29 Mar 2016, 12:54
hello
Firstly, thank you for this tool.
long story short..... gave an ipod filled with music to a relative 6-7 years ago. became contaminated with liquid and slowly died (liquid slowly ate the board while sat in a dock) hard disc is ok luckily. no fluid damage.
the plan is to try and recover the music and buy a second hand ipod to put the music back on to and give back to my relative.
Purchased a cheapy ZIF to Micro usb adapter and dismantled the ipod and plugged in the hard drive.
the device is recognised by my laptop but says i must format the drive before i can use it. (its an ipod disc)
so i have used TestDisk7.0 and it was immediately able to recover 1800odd files but only up to artists from A to J?
is there a file number limit? or is it likely that is the only part of the disc that can be read/damaged?
go easy on me, im a total noob when it comes to data recovery
Thank yuo for any of the help you may be able to give me.
