I've poked around for about an hour on here and not found anything matching this. My wife has an iPad that had a bunch of movies uploaded to it. I installed them onto the iPad and did NOT keep a copy of them on my hard drive. I did not select "Sync Movies" when I synced the iPad.
I upgraded to IOS5 recently. No problems. Today I added a bunch of music from a playlist in my iTunes library to the iPad. Prior to that, Music had not been synced. The music transferred to the iPad. But even though I never clicked on "Sync Movies," now the dozens of videos are gone--nowhere to be found on the iPad.
I know that these files are not backed up anywhere, so I suspect some are gone, but I also suspect some are still intact on the storage card. Is there a data recovery tool out there that can scan the iPad and recover deleted movies? Recovering these movies would be a big help to me, so I would appreciate any advice.
