How to delete personal info when selling my ipod

Hello everyone,
I own an ipod touch 4g and think about selling it becase I've purchased an Iphone 4.
What should I do in order to delete personal info from my ipod? I did "delete all content" in ipod's general menu. Will it delete all my purchased apps and any account information for sure?
Is the Ipod registered on my name and personal info (I mean, will anyone be able to find out my personal contact info I gave to Apple when first connecting the ipod to itunes?)?
I'm kinda worried since I might end up selling it to a person I don't know and don't want anyone to get any of my personal information ...
Thanks in advance, and I hope I posted it on the right forum.
Have a great day!

It should only take seconds since:
This resets all settings, and erases all your information and media by removing the
encryption key to the data (which is encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption).
I would first try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Next would be to place thei Pod in recovery mode and retore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Not too long ago I was able to delete personal info from forwarded emails in Hotmail, but not now. Works fine in IE. What's wrong and where? Txs

Being paranoid, I like to delete personal info (email addresses, etc.) from emails I'm forwarding. Ican do this right now in IE, but not Firefox.
I had been running FF4(?), but downgraded to FF3.5 because of some other issues, but I don't recall when the problem with email started (before or after downgrade).
IE9 allows me to delete this personal info from forwarded emails.

Try an SMC reset. The article covers when this is required, but doing this will not affect anything.

Migrating from Snow Leopard Macbook to Air-how to transfer personal info?

Helping my wife, I'm not familiar with Firefox. We saved to a hard drive a folder from Users>Application Support called Firefox on her Macbook (8 years old) which seemed to have her bookmarks and personal info imbedded. Upon opening her new MacBook Air, OSX 10.9.4 has a different architecture (ie, no Application Support folder any longer).
So how can we transfer her info to her new computer, please?

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the ~/Library folder is a hidden folder.

What is the quickest way to delete personal info prior to recycling?

We are downsizing and my trusty iMac (10 years old I think) has to go, what is the best way to delete personal stuff?

The preferred and/or fastest method to ensure removal of all personal data depends on whether the computer is going to the recycling heap for safe disposal or whether it will be given/sold to a future user. In the former case, removing and keeping the hard drive can be the fastest way to do so, but that depends on the design of the computer in question. Since you have a 10 year-old iMac, I'll assume it's an iMac G4. Hard drive removal is more involved for that model, than it is for other Macs that can be opened quickly. The other method is to boot the computer from the installer disk, run Disk Utility and select the hard drive to erase and reformat as a Mac OS Extended volume. Choose the option to "write zeros" to the drive, as this will overwrite the existing data. It takes longer, but you indicated that you wanted to remove personal info. If you're donating the computer to an organization for future use, re-install the OS and include the original disks.

How to delete account info from itunes?

I had an Ipad from where I work, but I had to set up my own itunes account for it. I purchased an Ipad 2 and want/need to return the one I have from work. I have been able to delete all info from the device. I can't delete the account from itunes though. It doesn't have a device listed for it. Did it wipe it out when I deleted the info on the device or am I missing something.
Thanks

How to delete a contact when it's no longer in my phonebook but still showing up in my emails?

I deleted my contact fully from my phonebook and then reentered it with the right information, now they both show up in my email when I try to email said person. How do I delete it even though it isn't in my phonebook anymore?

When that number pops up, is there a blue arrow to the right of it? If there is, click on the blue arrow and you will see an option to delete the number.

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.
