Please help, I have ipod question for all the people who know about ipods

Question

Hey, I was putting new songs on my ipod when it said to restore so I did it manually on the ipod but then it said to restore using itunes so I went onto itunes and plugged my ipod in the computer but the ipod's name didn't show up so how do I restore it now??? Please help!

Answer 1

hold menu and center for 5-7 seconds and it will restore without itunes

Answer 2

well, what kind of iPod is it? By a wild guess I am assuming its the iPod Touch you're using. If it is iPod Touch, and its not being recognized by iTunes, then this is what you have to do:

Connect your ipod touch> Hold the home button and the lock button for 10 sec (I REALLY MEAN 10 SEC)> let go of the lock button but NOT the HOME button> hold the home button for 10 more sec> your iTunes SHOULD recognize it. What really happened is you put your ipod touch into the mode called DFU mode, and now click on restore.

PLEASE NOTE: Your iPod must NOT display ANYTHING during the whole buttons holding process. If it shows a screen with iTunes icon and a cable, then you did it wrong. If you get an error while restoring your ipod with itunes, and your ipod screen goes blank, DO NOT panic; Press the hold button until it turns off the ipod and after that turn the ipod back on and try the whole process again.

Have a good day  

PS. The home button is the round button with a square. The lock/power button is the button at the top u use to lock your ipod touch
