A. You may try asoftech photo recovery which helped me before. You can download trial for free
http://www.asoftech.com/apr/
Trial version allows to view recoverable photo only, and full version costs only 30 bucks, so I bough it without trying. Luckily it worked. Just that scan may take long time depends on hard disk capacity.

How do I stop my iPod Touch from erasing stuff?
Q. I got a used 3rd gen iPod Touch and after a couple of weeks it says connect to iTunes, says it's in recovery mode and must restore. It did this when I first got it, but it stopped. Before I bought it, it was factory reset. Is there a way to get it out of recovery mode? iTunes wasn't too helpful and wanted it sent in, has anyone else found and fixed this issue before?
A. Try this:
here's what you have to do to restore:
The two methods are the same, just finding the software is different...
Method 1: (windows...although macs probably have the function as well:
Use the windows search feature and make sure file extensions is enabled. Then, type in .ipsw...when you see your software (it will have a lot of weird letters, then it will say 2_x_x and 1_x_x [x=the rest of your software numbers] and then restore). Delete that file (and all the other ones forthat matter, it will conserve space on your computer) then go back to iTunes and hit restore...if you want a 1.x.x or anything below 2.1, then your going to have to get it from google, then hit shift-restore and use your firmware file)
Method 2: go to My Computer, and also make sure that you have showing hidden folders is enabled, go to documents and settings>application data>apple>iPhone/iPod software data>then delete your software...then follow the rest of method 1...

How do you keep all your songs and etc. on the iTunes library when the computer everybody syncs it on is gone?
Q. Well recently a Gateway Desktop in our house broke down and cannot be repaired sadly. Yet it is the computer that we bought all of our songs and etc. from iTunes and downloaded and synced them from? What do we do to keep the songs we bought on the Gateway?
A. Oh, Gateway . . . this is a familiar story, sad to say. It sounds like you have an iPod; when you get a new computer or borrow one, all the songs will be on there. I'm not sure if Apple still tries to make iPod's music one-way, because it's been a few years since I've had to recover songs like this, but there's a workaround.
Running the iPod(s) in disk mode (so you can browse the files with Windows Explorer, like anything else in the computer), you should be able to find the music folder. If you can't tell which it is, find their sizes in Properties. The folder with the music will be huge. It'll have something like 50 subfolders, I think. The songs are randomly assigned among these and given four-letter codes. The only thing for it is to copy all of them to the computer and open them in iTunes. Don't worry about the names; iTunes will remember all the data like correct title, artist, year, etc. The only problem is that you can't cherry-pick which to salvage; you'll have to delete later if you don't want all of them. The new computer might have to be authorized to play purchased items, and if you're at your limit of 5, you'll have to deauthorize all through the iTunes account.
Of course, this is all assuming you put everything you bought on an iPod. If it's another media player, I don't know how those work. And if the songs aren't anywhere else, you'll have to go to a computer repair place and pay for data recovery. This should be possible unless what broke was the actual hard drive platter or something, but unfortunately it'll be kind of expensive.
In the future, I'd highly recommend backing up your library on an external hard drive/flash drive, or at least putting the purchased songs on a CDR/DVDR. And if you keep the iTunes Library files that show up in the iTunes folder and paste them there when you get a new computer, it'll remember metadata like date added, play count, playlists, etc.
Good luck!
