Computers and iPods go hand-in-hand. You cannot use an iPod without a computer. As in most cases, where there is good compatibility, there is seldom a chance of conflict. But incase of an iPod and a system, sometimes this proves to be incorrect. When we buy any new gadget or electronic device we take pains to make sure it is compatible with what we already have. Same with an iPod, one always ensures that the OS one has is compatible with the new iPod. However in some cases, especially for amateurs, we overlook certain factors. This leads to conflicts between the devices further leading to data loss. One can use an iPod recovery software in such a dire situation.

For example, when a person buys a new iPod the first thing he/she does is connects it to the computer The computer gives you a message saying that the iPod needs to be scanned and fixed, or if you want to continue without scanning. The computer to hang no matter which option you choose. You then realise that all the music and other data from your iPod is deleted.

Cause:

The USB cable you are using is not compatible with the computer.

The iPod may not be have some sort of a virus/malware which transferred to the computer.

The iTunes being used may not be compatible with the OS. Or it may be too heavy an application, thus making the system slow.

Whichever be the case, if the iPod data gets erased, it’s because it was not ejected properly.

Solution:

Although viruses and bugs in an iPod are rare, it’s not impossible to have one. They get downloaded with the music from unsafe sites. More often than not, they are harmless to the iPod but pose great threat to the system.

If the USB cable is the problem, all one has to do is get a new USB 2.0 adapter and ensure it is configured to the computer.

Whichever be the case, if the computer has hung, you can retrieve lost data using either a backup or any of the numerous data recovery softwares available. When a computer crashes while an iPod is still connected to it, the later too invariably loses data. This data too can be recovered using an iPod recovery software. Connect the iPod to the computer, install the software-thats all it takes!! It then scans the iPod, and recovers all iPod data.
