anyedie Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 So, my uncle paid a friend of his to archive a bunch of music onto his new Ipod (30gb). The kid did as asked, but when my uncle went to add a few songs from his xp machine he, he was unable to. Apparently the kid formatted the Ipod for a mac and now my uncle cannot add/modify/del ect. anything from the Ipod. He is strictly a windows user. So now we have a 30gb Ipod completely full of obscure indie music that has no backup. I know there is a way to get the music off of that Ipod before formatting it on a windows machine, but for the life of me I cannot find out how, do you know? thanks, anyedie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 By Mac Formated that means it using hfs rather then fat32 yes? Linux (at least Ubuntu) supports (at least) reading of hfs volumes (don't know about writing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deveant Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Linux (at least Ubuntu) supports (at least) reading of hfs volumes (don't know about writing). :O could it be that Ubuntu cant do every think that windows can!? Whats needed is for 'MacDisk for windows' to be installed on the machine, then i suggest getting that data off, re-formating to Fat32 / NTFS (if iPods can do it) and putting the data back on, its just easier and doesnt cause as many issues, Windows Still has 75%+ of market share, so u might as well meet the needs of the people.

deleted Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 You could use PhotoRec. It will Look at everything and try to recover it. It supports HFS. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
