How do you reset the iPod Classic?

My iPod Classic froze up the other day and is totally nonresponsive. Does it need repair, or can it be reset?

Try a hard reset.  To do this, toggle the hold switch on and then off, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  This may or may not work the first time around, so don't be afraid to try it more than once.

  • How do you turn the iPod Classic off?

    My mum can't turn her iPod classic off properly, can u help?

    A long press on the Play button makes it shut down.
    If it doesn't respond check the Hold switch.
    If it still doesn't respond press Menu+Select for about 6 seconds to reset the device.

    A Reset just restarts the iPod; it is not erased.  In case the battery is drained, you can do it while the iPod is connected to power.

  • HT1459 how do you sync the Ipod classic with windows 8 and Itunes

    I am having problems syncing my Ipod classic with Itunes using windows 8. Can anyone help with this problem?

    Sync it the same way any other iDevice would be synced on any other version of iTunes running on Windows or a Mac.
    Plug it in.
    Select the content desired to sync.
    Sync.

  • How do you reset the ipod if the restrictions forbid this?

    what the title says

    Restrictions can't keep you from holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back. You will not lose any data doing a reset, but you will, if you set up the device "as new ipod".

  • HT4113 How do you reset the Ipod once it is locked up and you frogot the code

    Help

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    You may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode

    how do you reset my ipod touch..daughter try passcode too many times now its disabled

    Passcode Locked or Disabled
    If nothing else will let you unlock the device - after so many unsuccessful attempts will be locked 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 Device.
    Instructions can be found here.

    Hi Nicole,
    Try resetting it (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). The Home screen should redisplay after the reset is complete.
    Cheers,

    how do you put the ipod into disk mode

    iPod nano (7th generation)
    Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it has a charge.
    Reset the device by pressing the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until the display turns black. This should take about eight seconds.
    When the display turns black, press and hold the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk Mode.

    Reset the device by pressing the Sleep and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the display turns black. This should take about eight seconds.
    When the display turns black, hold down the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk Mode.
    iPod devices with a Click Wheel
    If necessary, verify that your iPod has a Click Wheel.
    Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it is charged.
    Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least six seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
    Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod will should say "Do not disconnect".
    If you are having difficulty putting your iPod into Disk Mode, set it on a flat surface. Make sure that the finger pressing the Select button is not touching the Click Wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Play/Pause button toward the outside of the Click Wheel and not near the center. If you are still unable to put your iPod into Disk Mode, use one finger from one hand to press the Select button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Play/Pause button.
    Older iPod models without a Click Wheel
    Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it has a charge.
    Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    Press and hold the Play/Pause and Menu buttons until the Apple/iPod logo appears, then release them. This resets iPod. When you reset iPod, all your music and data files are saved, but some customized settings may be lost.
    When the Apple logo appears, immediately press and hold the Previous and Next buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
    Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod should say "Do not disconnect".

  • HT201413 my daughter locked herself from her ipod with a passcode she forgot ?  how do we reset the ipod?

    my daughter locked herself from her ipod with a passcode she forgot ?  how do we reset the ipod?

    From another post by Philly_phan:
    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."

    how do you reset an ipod touch when it is still stuck in recovery mode?

    Having the same problem. Plugged into the computer, iTunes doesn't connect to it. Plugged it into the wall and the low battery bar shows up but then it goes to the black/apple screen and stays there. The screen goes black and then when it pops back on again (on its own), the apple is still there. Won't hard restart either. Halp!
