Worked when I needed it -- twice

I have to say that I've been in two situations where this software worked. First when an iPod got its library erased -- it restored without a problem. Second, when a friend threw away his iPhoto library. Yes -- it found that and retrieved 2000 pictures -- although they were just 001.jpg, 002.jpg and so on without the original names -- at least he did not lose them completely. I was not sure PodSalvage would work to get the iPhoto library and wrote to their customer service -- and had I needed they were willing to upgrade me (to FileSalvage)rather than make me pay for two different versions. The cost can seem high but I don't know of any other software that does this and it does work. The alternative is to lose your deleted files forever isn't it? If this type of software were easy to write there would be lots of competition -- in this case we pay for a more complex development investment by the software vendor.

Worked like a charm, and didn't even need to read the 35 page User
Manual.
A friend of mine had his iPod reset itself, and in doing so, lost all
the music on the iPod. And this was not just any music, but a
collection of 400 folk music songs lovingly collected from various
cassette tapes, albums and even 78's. In addition, each song had ten
seconds of silence at the end, to allow his folk music group time to
get ready for the next dance. The person who had created this
masterpiece had left town, and nobody had any backups.
When I plugged his iPod into my Tiger laptop with Itunes 6, it took
about 10 minutes for iTunes to recognize the iPod and report that
there was no music on it. I could feel the vibrations of the hard
disk as it kept trying to re-read sectors.
When I ran Disk Utility against his iPod, it gave me an drastic error
message and stopped. Diskwarrior would not recognize the iPod, as it
was created and formatted on a Windows machine.
So I used Version Tracker to see what was available. PodWorks is more
for copying songs, and it could not find the iPod. iPodrip saw the
drive one time, but then crashed. Subsequent attempts at starting up
iPodRip failed, with iPodRip crashing right away.
Then I tried PodSalvage from SubRosaSoft, and it found the iPod,
started scanning and came back with 400+ found songs. It was not able
to tell me any of the file names, but did show the size of each file.
When I tried the recovery step, it said I needed to ante up some
money. Fair enough.
So I called my friend and he did not hestitate on coughing up $40 ($50
if you want them to send you a CD). After using their on-line store,
SubRosaSoft emailed me a serial number, which allowed me to recover
all the songs onto my Powerbook hard drive. The files all came with
their proper name attached, except for about 18 WAV files.
I then used iTunes to add them to a library, and everybody is happy.
I also made a couple of backup DVD's so we shouldn't need to go thru
this process anymore.
Thanks SubRosaSoft !!

ipod damaged after using podsalvage

I am sorry to say, as enthousiastic as I was at first, I must now tell you sadly that what looked like a salvage has turned out a complete disaster.
First of all, after using Podsalvage, it created a folder with 4 subfolders in it. One with MP3files, which were okay and could be copied to I-tunes, the other songs, part of them purchasedf from I-tunes music store and part of them copied from my own cd's, appeared as MP4-files and can't be copied or imported to I-tunes.
So to see what would happen if I copied the original cd to I-tunes and then copy to the I-pod, I went ahead.
But my Ipod seems to be totally disrupted by using Podsalvage, the cd just doesn't appear on my Ipod, while it did show up on my Ipod in I-Tunes. So I am very very disappointed plus I am left with a disfunctional Ipod which probably can't be repaired.
As I paid 39,90 dollars for Podsalvage, I am sorry to say but I just can't give it a good review anymore.
