Reset iPod Touch
Posted By: TechSlam - 8:19 PM
"I have got a new ipod touch. yesterday when I was playing the music, all of a sudden the ipod stopped playing and display went blank. it does not turn on or plays the music. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you."
Hi, As I understand you have got an iPod Touch(either 1st generation or 2nd generation). And when you were playing the music, the display went blank. Well not to worry, it seems like your iPod is just frozen and all you need to do to fix this issue is to RESET you iPod. The question now arises is How to Reset the iPod Touch. Well its very simple. You can see an ON/OFF button(Sleep/Wake Button) at the top left hand corner of your iPod Touch and there is a Home Button(Menu Button) at the bottom. All you need to do is just press and hold both the button together at the same time and keep holding it for 10 to 15 seconds until you see an apple logo showing in the iPod display. When you see the apple logo , let go your fingers from these buttons and wait for some times. The apple logo will then disappear and then you will find the regular home screen of your iPod. As simple as that!
If you have got any other issue regarding iPod/iTunes, feel free to leave a comment and will get back to you. Thank you

I bought a use iPod touchabdi wanna buy stuff from itunes but I dnt know the prevouse owner password how do I get or change it
Hello, I'm at a complete loss. My wife is running XP SP3 and has an 8 gig iPod touch. It has been some time (probably about two months) since it was synced with her computer. She wanted an iPod shuffle for working out, so I made an additional music library just for the shuffle, and synched it. A couple days later, she wanted a new app on her itouch, but when it was connected to the computer via the USB port (regardless which port), the computer will not detect the iPod. The iPod works perfectly and will charge when attached to the computer via the USB cord; however, the iPod does not show up in explorer, or device manager. I have tried upgrading to the newest itunes (8.2.1.6), and I've reset the iPod. As a side note, I also have an itouch (32gig), that is not detected by the computer either (even with AV software disabled) even though the shuffle instantly shows up when plugged in.
Thanks for any advice in advance! Shawn

Sorry, I realized after reading my post that it isn't clear which iPod I'm having problems with, the shuffle connects perfectly, but the itouch does not.
Thanks again, Shanwn
Thanks again, Shanwn
Thanks for the suggestion and quick response, I'll give that a shot and let you know!
I tried to update the USB driver as suggested, but the iPod doesn't show up in the device manager at all- in the USB devices, or the disk drives???

Hi, I have an ipod touch 1st generation which has a peculiar problem. I plugged it in to charge the other night which it started but then the screen froze on the Apple Icon and has a start-up icon just below it too - when I tried the reset buttons it did not clear and remains that way. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hello, I have an Ipod touch 32gb, like most above I need a reset. Mine will not come on or reset using itunes. The most I get out of the screen is when I plug it up to the computer. The drivers and everything else works fine, I've changed ports & cords so I'm still at a lose. Is there another program i can use to do the reset? I'm not sure the top button is working correctly either.
I received an Itouch as a gift and it was i loaded my home email address on it. Decided to give it to me son and would like the email re-set to take my email off (he does not need to see my home email, not to mention, a teenager and
never know what friends will be using it). Again, would like to re-set the email to his (sons) email address and remove my email that he is currently able to view.
