  1. The iPod and the computer work together nearly flawlessly - have been transferring data to and from it nearly daily for two years. The USB system is fine - it has had no troubles whatsoever while permanently connected to an external 2TB drive and another 300GB external drive. Teracopy has been used extensively on both thie iPod and the PC in general as well. Note that it was a copy operation, not a move, so the data was not being deleted from the iPod as part of that process. The issue to me is that Recuva, nineteen months after the issue was known, and six months after something was "hopefully in the next release", has not changed its behavior one iota. It reports that it finds files, then infinitely hangs while using huge CPU resources. Either the program behavior, or the claim of working on iPods, needs to be modified. I'm more than willing to become a paying customer if/when Recuva or any other program proves itself worth paying for. I appreciate that Recuva, unlike many others, doesn't ask for $40-$50 to let you find out whether or not it will work, and hope that it is indeed the recovery program which earns me as a customer, but for now, it's not proven itself worth more than the free download.
  2. It appears that once or twice a year, my iPod will fail to transfer files to the PC successfully, followed by Recuva failing miserably. See the link below for more info http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=27178 Here's what happened this time. Copying a about a dozen short video clips from the nano to the PC (Windows 7x64, updated to current) using TeraCopy. After one file finishes, the USB device disconnected noise starts, immediately followed by the error sound. On screen, Teracopy reports the source device no longer exists. Upon reconnecting the iPod, the video folder is empty. I launch Recuva, update to the latest version 1.41.537, and tell it to search <iPod drive>\DCIM\000APPLE folder for all files. It very quickly finds quite a few MP4 and IMG_xxx.DAT files. I sort by State, and the files I want appear to have an excellent recovery chance. Dates and sizes seem reasonable as well. So, I select the files and attempt to recover them. Same thing happens as in the linked previous report: The "Recovering files" dialog appears. Current progress: 0%, 0 files recovered. No movement for over an hour, despite hovering in the 80-95% CPU usage range the whole time. Not one byte is recovered. Recuva doesn't respond to cancellation - I had to use PowerShell to kill the process. The initial problem was reported in March 2010. Nineteen months ago. I reported my problem in April 2011. Six months ago. At the time, the "Offical Piriform Bug Fixer" said we are hoping to get a fix for this in the next release How about the next, next release? Any chance of recovering the files on an iPod Nano? Anything I can do to assist in debugging the problem?
  3. On my iPod, it appears to not recognized the OEM correctly. I've done a cursory look at the iPod drive with a hex editor, and it seems like there's an awful lot of zeros in the Partition Tables and FAT. I'm guessing they might not be completely standard FAT32 layouts. Is there an experimental build anywhere? I'd love to get the files back, but have to sync/modify the iPod in a couple of days. Here's my log file, in case it helps: [2011-04-11 21:55:03] [iNFO ] Recuva v1.40.525 [2011-04-11 21:55:03] [iNFO ] System Info: MS Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1, AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+, 4.0GB RAM, ATI Radeon X1200 Series (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM) [2011-04-11 21:55:03] [iNFO ] No update available [2011-04-11 21:55:28] [iNFO ] Boot sector: 6zyQKlVPS0pJSEMAEAEgAAIAAAAA+AAAPwD/AD8AAACAkR0AYwcAAAAAAAACAAAAAQAGAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAKVQpc4tJUE9EICAgICAgIEZBVDMyICAgDh++W3ysIsB0C1a0DrsHAM0QXuvwMuTN Fs0Z6/57e35+fCBTIFQgTyBQIHwgVGhpcyBpcyBBcHBsZSBpUG9kIG5vdCBhIGJvb3RhYmxlIGRp c2suUGxlYXNlIHRyeSBhZ2FpbiAuLi4gAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVao= [2011-04-11 21:55:28] [iNFO ] FS type detected by BPB parameters, OEM name *UOKJIHC is unknown.

  4. So, were the log files interesting enough to warrant fixing the issue? Still seems to happen on Win7 x64 with Recuva 1.40.525, as well as on Windows XP.
  5. I ran into the same problem as teh others in this thread. Trying to recover files from an iPod Nano. The files are quickly identified in non-deep mode and have "excellent" recovery prognoses. The "cancel" button in Recuva yielded no response whatsoever; the process continued to tax the system at 50% CPU power (2 cores). Attempting to create a Dump File from TaskMan yields "The operation could not be completed. Access is denied." Any other options? I would really love to get my files back, but I would also love to be able to use my iPod as a pedometer to track injury rehabilitation work. Thanks for any tips you may have.
  6. My TEMP variable has not been altered. It is split from where my USER files are, though. TEMP=C:\Users\Todd\AppData\Local\Temp and my data directory has been moved to D:\USERS\TODD The directory that gets messed up is C:\USERS\TODD\APPDATA\LOCAL\TEMP\LOW
  7. I have and am experiencing the issue with up-to-date Vista Ultimate (32-bit)and up-to-date CCleaner. I did move my User folders (all of them, not just "Favorites" to another partition on the same physical device, and have reproduced it for several users, incuding both admin and non-admin accounts. I now just run a CMD file at login to create the folder and set the ACL over.
  8. I notice that it's now April, it's now version 2.07, and this bug is still alive and kicking. It moves CCleaner off of my recommended list until the repair shows up. Breaking a fundamental service such as printing isn't aceeptable. In fairness, the program is great and I've been using and recommending it it for a long time - I look forward tobeing able to do so again.
