In the light of the lost principal interview, I am learning, (well almost sometimes I remember), NEVER trust technology and get multiple versions of anything that is remotely important. Of course the “little guys” in the computer once again decided to have fun at my expense. Of course the iPod all of a sudden wouldn’t be recognised on the Mac, (I had thought the Mac had been the most secure in the past so I had best use it).
After a hasty disconnect I went to the PC and again the iPod showed up but according to the menu there were no Voice Memos on it, (fortunately the iPod showed that there was indeed an interview still on it). Equally as fortunately I have a parent of one of my students who is a computer tech and after I related the problem, Josh volunteered that his dad had a “supercomputer” that could get anything digital off of anything else.
Accordingly I sent the iPod home with Josh and the next day we had the interview back, thanks to Josh’s dad. The suggestion was that I didn’t have the latest iPod software on the machine however I thought I had done that. Maybe with eight iPods this was one that I had missed??
