I just downloaded Recuva and everything works fine until I get up to the recover part. I have about 20 mp4. files I need to recover so when I check all of them and hit recover it pulls up the download screen but it never gets anywhere. For the past 2 hours it's current progress is at 0%. Is there something wrong with the program or does it does run that slow, and what can I do about it?
How large are these files? Are you recovering to a different device/partition?
I should try recovering them one at a time.
I tried recovering one at a time but it didn't get anywhere. The smallest one I have is about 354 KB and the largest one I have is about 22,000 KB. I tried running it over night but it still didn't get anywhere. Is that normal, or should it be going quicker? They're all in excellent condition, I don't know if that makes a difference. I'm recovering them from my ipod nano, which says it's on my F drive? I'm not too good with computers.
I don't have an answer any better than you already have I'm afraid, I was just wondering if they are actually deleted files you are trying to get off your iPod, or just files you need back onto your computer for whatever reason.
I ask because Apple tries it's best to prevent people "back transferring" music to their computers, but there is free software which will enable you to copy music from your iPod back to your computer.
One I used to get music from my daughters iPod is "SharePod". It's a very simple program which runs from just clicking an exe file. No install needed.

They're actually videos taken with my ipod that I put onto my computer and when I thought that they were saved onto the computer I deleted them off my ipod, but then I realized that they still hadn't been saved. They're easy to find on the Recuva software. But oh well, thanks for you're help.
