When you restore an iPod touch to factory settings, you're returning the device to its original state, fresh out of the box, wiping away all your personal data and settings.
There are two ways to do this. One involves using a Mac or PC running the latest version of iTunes , and the other involves using just your working iPod touch. Restoring your iPod touch to factory settings erases data and settings while also installing the latest compatible iPod software. Instead you use the Finder to back up and restore your iPod touch using the Mac.
Open the Finder by clicking its app in the Mac Dock. Connect the iPod touch to the Mac via cable. Select iPod touch in the Locations section of the Finder sidebar. Select Restore iPod touch. Select Restore again to confirm. The computer erases your iPod touch and installs the latest iPod software. Your iPod touch restarts and you can set it up as new.
Before you begin, if there's any information on your iPod touch you want to save, make a backup and turn off the Find My tool. On a Mac with macOS Mojave Connect your iPod touch to your computer and unlock it, entering your passcode if prompted. Select the small icon representing your device in the upper left corner of iTunes.
Your iPod touch will restart and you can set it up as new. If you don't have access to a computer but your iPod touch is still functioning, here's how to restore it to factory settings. Tap Settings on your iPod touch.
Select General. Scroll down and tap Reset. Tap Erase All Content and Settings. If prompted, enter your Apple ID or passcode. Wait a few minutes, and then your iPod touch will be reset to factory settings. If your iPod touch isn't working correctly, restoring the device from a backup might solve the problem.
Or, if you buy a new iPod touch, restoring from a backup will load your data and settings onto the new device. There are two ways to do this: restore from an iCloud backup or restore from a backup on your computer. Before you can use these steps, you have to erase all the content on your iPod touch. See the above instructions on restoring your iPod touch to factory settings. Turn on your device. Connect your iPod Nano to a power source if you have one available. You can also run off the battery if needed.
Just make sure it has a good charge. Continue the simultaneous hold for a good eight seconds. This will send the iPod Nano into a reset. If it does not work, you may not have held the buttons down at the exact same time. Repeat the same process one more time to reset and unlock the iPod. The Shuffle model has a process that differs from the Nano.
Go ahead and slide the switch to the Off position, and wait for a full five seconds. Return the switch to the On position and hold until the green stripe appears. Your iPod Shuffle will reset to normal after running this basic power cycle. You are not required to sign in to iTunes or take any special steps. You can only add and subtract music through iTunes but the reset allows the iPod to function normally otherwise.
Like most iPod models, the Touch is also really easy to use.
