How to delete personal content from iPod touch

I have an Ipod touch (32GB & 4th generation) that has been dropped countless times. On thanksgiving I accidentally dropped it again. When I picked it up, the screen turned white. After hold the home button and main power button for about 10 seconds it was semi-normal (could only function when hold the main power button). It slipped from my hands again causing the screen to permanently turn black. The ironic thing is that I could still press the home button and request for music to be played. I figured if I let the music play the battery would die. It finally did. Now when I plug it into iTunes it will charge but the screen is still black what do I do? I would like to delete my personal informatin (such as email, facebook, etc.) Can I do that from my computer? Is there no point in trying to do so once the iPod is completely dead? If there isn't a point in trying to do so, I will just properly dispose of it!
Like I stated before, this isn't the first time it has been dropped. The very first time it fell on some concrete and the screen cracked. At thsi time my warranty had expired and I wasn't willing to cough up more than $50 to get it fixed.
I would like to extend a huge thank you to whoever can answer my questions and give me some feedback!

If iTunes sees the iPod then
Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore ti factory settings/new iPod via iTunes. Make sure that no one is signed in iTunes>Store so your account email address is not on the iPod. The iPod will be erased.

  • Transfer playlists and content from iPod Touch to new computer

    I was trying to search for old answers on this topic, but instead the system is forcing me to create a new post. 
    My old laptop crashed, and the backup I had of my iTunes was outdated.  I have more current music and playlists on my iPod Touch than are available to back up from my external hard drive, including a playlist I created for my dad's funeral.  I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE IT.  I spent hours and hours creating it, and ripping music for it, and facing losing it if I sync my iPod really hurts.  I am afraid to connect my iPod Touch to my new laptop for fear of losing that playlist and the music I ripped from his CD collection to create it.   
    Can someone please help me to back up my content, including my playlists and rippled music (and ideally apps and other content) from my iPod Touch to the new laptop?  (I also have voice mails in an app on my iPod from a friend who died shortly after my dad, and I don't want to risk losing those, either, as they are the only way I have of hearing his voice.)
    Again, because my old laptop crashed between backups, I do not have the option of backing up the iTunes data from the old computer and transferring it that way.  I have to get it off the Touch somehow and get it back into iTunes on the new laptop.
    (I hate Apple for making what should be super easy so hard!  Why is data transfer one-way only, from computer to device?  And how can I be certain my iPod Touch won't be erased and set to the content on the computer if I connect it??)
    Thank you to anyone who can help me!

  • How to delete pictures off of ipod touch

    I dont get how you do this because my ipod touch is generation 4 and it dosent have a delete photo button anywhere!

    The same way you got them on the ipod - the sync process.
    If you delete the pic from the folder that you have selected to sync, then sync, it will be removed from the ipod.

    So is there any way to delete it download on ipod touch 4g

    My daughter accidentally deleted a video that I captured with my iPod Touch 4G. Fortunately between the time I took the video and the time she deleted it, I had connected my iPod to my computer (but had not imported the video).
    However, when you connect the iPod, it does an automatic back-up and back up video and photo files as well.
    To recover it, I had to explore the back-up created the last time I connected my iPod using this tool:

  • How do I copy music (personal & purchased) from iPod Touch to iPhone 5c?

    I have 464  songs on my iPod Touch 4th gen; however, only the 194 songs I purchased from the iTunes store show up in the iTunes Library on my Mac.  Accordingly only the purchased (194) songs are being backed up to the Cloud.  I recently purchased an iPhone 5c and was able to load what was in the Cloud.  I would, however, like to be able to access ALL of my music (i.e., all 464 songs on my iPod Touch) on my iPhone.  How do I get the 270 songs (not in the Cloud) onto my iPhone 5c? 
    If this can't be done within iTunes, is there freeware available for this purpose?  I downloaded an application called "iExplorer" (from Macroplant) only to discover that this "free download" is not, in fact, free to use, but costs $34.95.  I only want to transfer files from my iPod Touch one time; hence, $34.95 is a costly one-time fix, especially if free/less expensive options are available.  Thanks, in advance, for any help others may be able to provide.

    To copy non-iTunes purchases you need a third-party program. Try the free iFunBox
    For iTunes purchases:

    Then sync to the other device

  • Deleting iCloud songs from iPod Touch? Please!

    Hi,
    The quick way of saying what I'm trying to do is delete and iCloud song from my iPod and the photo at the bottom will give you an idea of what Im talking about but...
    I was working with an Apple person over the phone last night for my macbook but he ended up seeing 2 aerosmith songs under various artists because they were purchased from a movie soundtrack. What he did was change around the song information so that it would show up under Aerosmith. After doing this, the song did show up under Aerosmith but it also brought up the letters V and P which it also listed Aerosmith under. We did some searching and when we pulled the information for the 2 songs, we saw that in the copyright part (where we are unable to retype anything, the name Pamela Jetson came up which is why there is a P.
    After that we deleted the songs from iTunes but now I'm trying to do this from my iPod so that hopefully this will go, but it will only put a cloud next to it and not fully delete it. I could try looking back at my old computer to see how it exactly was identified and see if we can bring it back down to the various artists but I do'n't want it to bring every Aerosmith song with it because you can see how under the P all Aerosmith songs are listed. Because of this, when I go to hit the letters on the side such as T to find say, Tom Petty, it guesses that T is in-between the A and V so it jumps up to the top rather than going to the bottom where the Ts really are...
    Thank you so much!!!!

    Tried this and was able to fully clear Aerosmith from the song info. but it is still causing this... Irritating, when I get another iPhone, and download everything as it appears on the computer (the song is no longer on the computer) will this reoccur?
