Very often iPods freeze up. When this happens solution is to reset your iPod. And that is certainly easy enough isn’t it? Except that resetting the iPod basically returns everything to zero and deletes all of your loaded files. If these files are backed up on your PC there is not really much your problem. But very often we have files on our Apple iPod that have not been as yet backed up. So not only do we have a frozen iPod that we cannot use, locked away inside of that device can be hundreds if not thousands of songs we have painstakingly collected.
The steps required to recover deleted iPod files are pretty simple. First go ahead and hit reset and let the iPods operating system put the device back to functional status. Now use a powerful digital media recovery tool such as those offered by Remo Software to scan the hard disk drive of your iPod. Even though the iPod reset process deleted all of your files the Remo software will create for you a list of all of those recently deleted files. It will then offer you the option of recovering them to safe storage. You will even be able to recover deleted video files this way.
