Hi all,
This is my first time posting in iLounge. I've come here because I'm absolute at my wits end.
On 14 June, I noticed my iPod classic (160gb) was behaving strangely. I plugged it into my Windows PC, which recognised it needed repairing. I've had pop-ups from Windows before about the iPod, but never that it needed repairing. I've always ignored them for fear it would damage the structure of the drive but at this time figured my fears were ungrounded.
But they weren't. After Windows "repaired" the drive, iTunes no longer recognised it had any music on it, though it did show there was lots of data on it (counted as "other"). since nothing has been deleted or formatted, I'm convinced the data is still on the iPod somewhere. I'm not giving up! I've been able to recover my music but I've got a party coming up next week which I'd created a playlist for. Does anyone know how I can recover that too?
TL;DR: how do I get playlists back from a manually managed "repaired" iPod classic?
