Steps

1. Go to the Apple website and download the latest iPod updater for your iPod mode.
2. Plug your iPod into your computer via USB or FireWire.
3. Run the iPod updater.
4. Click "Restore" on the updater and your iPod will restore itself to factory settings (also resulting in losing all of its music').
5. Let iTunes autofill it with music again and you will be set to go!

Tips

• Make sure you use the iPod updater for your iPod model and it is the latest updater. If you do not know your model, go to the Apple website and you will be able to figure it out easily.
• Restore only if you absolutely need to. Note: Restoring is not the same as reformatting the Hard Drive. Never reformat the hard drive unless instructed to!
• For more information on restoration and troubleshooting with your iPod, consult the "iPod Help" option under the "Help" menu in iTunes.

Warnings

• Performing a restore will erase everything on your ipod! Make sure you have your iPod music either stored on itunes or backed up on an external hard drive or somewhere where you can get your music back.
