iTunes Recovery Option One- Free Software 2007-05-28 11:56:16 Freeware is software which is free of charge, for an unlimited time. The vast majority of guys putting freeware on the web are honest and get their kicks from just ‘giving something back’. However- I am a nervous traveller. Especially when I am travelling around the internet! I am convinced that there is a whole community of people out there dedicated to infecting me with a virus. (I was previously convinced that whoever put the old hard drive in my laptop fixed it so it would go belly up as soon as there was enough music on there to really ruin my week) (more…) Read more:iTunes

Free Software

Just Buy it!
OK, let’s look at the options.
At the end of the day you make your own decision which one to go for. That depends on your level of computer savvy, how hacked off you are at having lost iTunes in the first place, and how much you want to take chances with the one remaining copy of all your iPod songs!
I am going to give you honest opinions in the next three posts, based on my personal experience. Read more:Downloads

What Happens When Your Hard Drive Fails With All Your Tunes On It? 2007-05-24 16:11:31 The good news is that we are not alone! Hard Drives are failing all over the planet right now and gigs and gigs of tunes are saying bye bye!
My back-up discipline was appalling. My hard drive was merely an accident just waiting to happen - so why didn’t I do the sensible thing? Because guys do not always do the sensible thing! My hard drive crash taught me a big lesson, though-back up. These days you can get 400 gigs of storage for $150- there’s no excuse. Everybody thinks it won’t happen to them- we know it does!
Hard drives are delicate- REALLY DELICATE. A laptop hard drive is usually made of glass. Drop it and if it shatters you are screwed. Workstation hard drives are a bit tougher. They are usually made of metal.
One tip for the future- if you spill something on your computer do not stick it on a radiator to dry it out. This will cause oxidation. If you think there’s a chance of rescuing your stuff get it to an expert ASAP. But they are expensive. You
It Does Not Have to Be Such A Hard (Drive!) 2007-05-20 11:25:57 OK- Your hard drive has crashed so you have had a good cry, shouted at the dog, blamed your other half, drowned your sorrows and cursed the fact you did not burn your music onto CD in the first place
First step- ask a buddy what to do. You’ll probably get the ‘I do not have a clue’ and a smug look because their tunes are safe. Do not worry- you will have the last laugh when their hard drive dies and they are left with all their tunes stranded. That is when they will be coming to you for the answers!
Second step- search the web. “Restore iTunes music” “Copy iPod music” “Rescue iPod music” maybe “Transfer iPod music”. Largely you are going to get links to forums where desperate people are asking for help and where computer geeks make the answers difficult to understand. You will also get a few articles from computer mags which again are scary. Most importantly you will get sites where you can download third party softw
So Why Is Getting My Music Back So Hard? 2007-05-19 13:22:32 It would be great if you could just plug your iPod into your pc or Mac and restore your music with a click of a mouse. Well, guess what? You cannot do it! In fact, one wrong click and you will lose everything on your iPod too.
Remember, the iPod and iTunes are designed to be, essentially, one way traffic. Unless you are really, really careful with the settings the iPod will simply copy everything that is in iTunes. That is ok if everything is working sweetly-it is a disaster if you have had a hard drive die and lost all your music. You reinstall iTunes on your new hard drive but, of course, it is now empty because the music went down the pan with the old hard drive. Plug in an iPod now and it will copy everything that is in iTunes, i.e. NOTHING! The iPod will copy a blank library. Essentially it will copy an empty iTunes library and delete everything it previously held and. Not good.
Losing your music off your pc or Mac is bad enough- losing the only copy you have left (on your iPod) i Read more:Music
How I got my itunes back from my ipod 2007-05-13 08:55:20
2 years of downloading music
Hours and hours spent lovingly putting together playlists in iTunes and then transferring them onto the ipod
The joy of listening to my 25 gigs of pure music pleasure
And then one day- CRASH! Adios and goodnight to the hard drive on my trusty laptop…..and over a thousand songs in iTunes. (Here’s the “I told you so”moment- I should have backed everything up, either by burning onto CD’s, DVD’s or transferring to a backup harddrive. But I didn’t. If I had I wouldn’t be writing this blog now….and you wouldn’t be reading it!)
All the tunes were on my iPod (40gig photo), but Apple don’t let you transfer the songs back onto your computer. More on why in a later post.
I went on the internet and searched “data recovery”, “mac data recovery”, “hard drive recovery”- you name it. Over days I analysed scores of search results to find out how to get my songs back. I
iTunes Recovery Option Two- Shareware 2007-06-02 04:41:50 OK, so far I have looked at free software- or ‘freeware’ - as a way of getting hold of the tools you need to get your iTunes
songs back from your iPod and onto your PC or Mac hard drive. The second option is shareware.
Shareware just means that you can download a program for free but there are strings attached. There are limitations built in to encourage you to buy it. With shareware you pay after a trial period and then you get what the people selling it call ‘additional functionality’. This means you can try it free to test it out for a limited time then it expires. Basically, the software company will share it with you - but put limitations on what the software can do to get you to buy it.
For example:
It can mean that it is good for - say - five hundred tunes and no more.
Or, it can mean that it will let you transfer maybe ten or twenty songs from your iPod music and then the transfer will stop. You will get one of those pop up messages asking you if you wa Read more:Recovery
