How do I change the hard drive that my ipod touch syncs to on a windows 7 pc

I have Windows 7 software on my pc. I have a ipod touch 64 gb and I don't have the space to sync it to my primary drive but I do on my secondary drive.
How do I get the files to sync to my secondary drive instead so I can update to newer software and restore my music/videos/contacts

Go to iTunes>Preferences>Advanced and change the location of the iTunes medic folder to the external HD. You will then have to import the library items into the new library.

How do I do a hard reset on my ipad. It's locked with a passcode., How do I do a hard reset on my ipad. It's locked with a passcode.

I forgot my passcode, how do I do a HARD RESET to clear everything out?

A hard reset will not help you now. That won't work and it won't "clear everything out".
You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
You will probably have to use recovery mode

Hello raydio, download the program called "Hard Reset" from here:

It's about halfway down the page. When installed, you just run the program and in 10 seconds it will do a Hard Reset!

How do I do a hard reset on iphone5

Thank you Peter, much appreciated. New ios user and bet that I will find that piece of information useful. My exchange and email connection did not want to work, neither on 3g nor on any wifi connections since the update 6.1.3, but the reset as above sorted that out in a couple of moments.
Thanks again!

I did a clear data and reset on my ipod touch and upon restart it is frozen. How do I fix it?

I did a clear data and reset on my ipod touch and upon restart it is frozen. How do I fix it? I have already done the ten second hold restart with the top button and bottom button, but it still freezes. What should I do?

If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

What is the procedure for a hard boot of my iPod touch 4th generation without itunes, and without computer, and without iPod data screen.?

What is the procedure for a hard boot of my iPod touch 4th generation
without iTunes, and without computer, and without iPod data screen?
6 months after purchase I updated my iPod touch as recommend by iTunes.
It has not worked since that day. It frozen (disabled) with a "connect to
iTunes" icon displayed...that is the only thing it does. itunes does not
recognize the iPod. My Windows7 computer recognizes an Apple device.
Other computers recognize the devise but if iTunes resided on that
computer it did not recognize the iPod
I suffered a setback with deep depression and am just now getting out of it enough to do something. The depression prohibited me from taking action.
I have done every procedure recommended from Apple help and external
sources. I did this thoroughly with help for other owners and IT experts,
Apple employees etc etc. I and associates have perform reboots utilizing a
number procedure using only button on the iPod. These were unsuccessful
also have performed.
Please do not ask me to do the usual.
Online I saw a process using the buttons on the iPod to completely
reformat
the iPod. It was NOT the hold buttons for 10 sec let go of one wait 8 sec
etc. I can not find the process now...a friend showed it to me in passing
I have lost contact with him. This is the procedure, I believe, that with
enable me to update and use the iPod.

You need an internet connection and likely a computer with iTunes but an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with the FindMy iPhone App may work by:
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
Otherwise
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
Yo may have to go to an Apple store or a friend's house with an internet connection and iTunes.

How do I repair the white screen on my ipod touch?

How do I repair the white screen on my ipod touch. I have tried to hard reset the ipod, however every time I press the top button to lock the screen, it goes to a white screen.

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

How do I restore an older backup to my iPod Touch 5g?

I did a reset of my iPod Touch 5g when a lot of storage got locked, would not release, after I had deleted a large amount of music. Redoing all of the settings will be a royal pain!
I have an older backup (from before iOS8 update I think) on my PC. I would like to restore that backup. The restore routine in iTunes only shows the most recent backup, but I found some older ones in the C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder, one that matches the list of backups shown under Preferences | Devices. How do I make that backup available to the restore routine?

I did a factory reset on my ipod touch, but now when i try turning it on it just goes to the apple screen with the loading sign

i did a factory reset on my ipod touch but now when i try turning it on it just goes to the apple screen with a loading sign, ive let my battery die and tried reconnecting but it still wont work. it doesnt even come up on itunes.

Why won't it let you sync? What happens when you try to sync it? Any error messages from iTunes? How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library? In other words, what options do you have selected from under the iPod's Music tab in iTunes? To access this tab, plug your iPod in, select it under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes, and over to the right locate and select the Music tab along the top.
Or are you trying to manually manage your iPod's contents? In other words, is the Manually manage music and videos option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab?
