How to erase data on ipod video

how to erase all my data on my ipod so no one can recover it?

The only thing you can do is to restore the iPod.
See: How to restore the iPod to factory settings.
This will erase the contents.
However, anyone with any technical know how and a good data recovery program might be able to recover some if not all the data from the iPods hd.
There are disk wiping utilities and programs available that will greatly improve the chances that your data cannot be recovered, although I have no direct experience of these.

  • How can I erase data, photos and videos from iPad 2 before selling?

    I plan to sell my old iPhone 2, there are many private file, like photos, videos in it, I have deleted them all, but I found it is still can be recovered by a iPad data recovery app, I worry my private info to be misused by someone else. So how can I permanently erase data, photos, and videos on iPad? Is there some iPad data eraser app?

    If you're selling your iPad or passing it on to someone else, the first thing you'll want to do is make sure they won't have access to any of your personal data. Wipe iPad data before selling: contacts, messages, photos, videos, apps, account info, passwords and other personal data stored on iPad.

  • How Can i get my ipod Video 60gb to play on my XBOX 360???

    How Can i get my ipod Video 60gb to play on my XBOX 360???

    she only needs to do that if he needs to change the format. For example if she recorded the clips via her  phone and it's not in a format iTunes will play.  For example if I have a .wmv iTunes won't touch it until I convert it. She could also be talking about video that she recorded on a DVD camcorder that burns the video to a DVD not a memory card. ITunes doesn't convert everything.
    She's transfered the clips to her ipad and the ipad won't play them. So she needs to get them to a m4v or mp4, and you use format converters for that. Not apps but something on the computer.

  • Blue screen after login and HD and startup disk is full -how to erase data?

    Blue screen after login and Hard drive and startup disk is full -How do I get in to erase data?

    this user tip might help:
    Your Mac needs adequate hard drive space to operate normally. How full can a drive be before it's too full? There is no hard and fast rule that says “X” amount or “%” of free drive space is needed. A low amount of RAM requires more drive space for Virtual Memory’s swap files.
    Problems from insufficient RAM and free hard disk space are discussed in this link
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/lackofram.html
    Here’s some general guidelines for minimum hard drive free space:
    1. As a general rule, your available space should be 5GB as an absolute minimum as it generally requires that much free space to perform an Archive and Install of Mac OS X and still preserve some free space for VM swap files.
    2. Some say that your hard drive should have at least 5% of it's capacity available for use. Still others say 10% to 15%. If you routinely process complex graphics and videos, even more space is required.
    Look at these links about freeing up more space.

  • How to erase everything off ipod

    Hello, I want to sell my ipod but don't know how to erase all the music from the ipod WITHOUT clearing the songs in ITunes. Anything would help. Thanks.

    Just do an iPod restore from the computer, then disconnect it. Wipes everything from the iPod and doesn't touch iTunes. To restore, use one of those ipod upgrade downloads, and instead of upgrading, click on the restore button. Takes about 5 seconds.

  • How to erase notes from ipod and not erasing them on iphone ?

    I had an iPod and I transferred all my notes to my iPhone with iCloud, I am trying to erase notes from iPod and I want to keep them all in iPhone, but as I erase one note from iPod it does the same with iPhone, I don't want to deactivate iCloud from iPod because I gave it to my brother. So I just need someone to tell me how to not erase my notes on iPhone and erase them all on iPod.

    If you are synching the two via iCloud you can't. If you want separate content on the two devices in note, take one of them off icloud. (Or put another way, if you don't wnat the content between the two synched, why are you synching them?)

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. Apple does not fix your iPod so make sure you back the iPod up and have all the synced media in your iTunes library.

  • How to erase data on lost iphone 3gs

    my iphone 3gs is lost, how can i erase all the data.

    Login to iCloud.com from any computer, locate the phone, then erase it. This requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated on the phone before it was lost, & that the phone be turned on & connected to the Internet. If not, there is no way to do what you want.

  • Selling iMac but how to erase data?

    Hi, I'm about to sell my Late 2012 iMac but how do I erase the hard disk the proper way...?

    Before you sell or give away your computer, in addition to the steps mentioned in this support article, take these steps:
    Run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test. The buyer will do this (or he should), and you don't want to be surprised by the results.
    Reset the PRAM and the SMC, which might contain personal information.
    If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
    If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
    If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted.
    If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
    Erase the data partition(s) with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
    You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you upgraded to OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstall an older OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by booting into Internet Recovery (option-command-R at the startup chime.) If you installed from physical media, deliver those to the new owner.
    If you're selling the machine, or donating it in working order, and it originally shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, then you have the option of installing either from the discs that came with it or from a retail Snow Leopard disc (which you must then transfer with the machine.) The buyer should understand that if he doesn't get the original discs from you, he won't get the bundled iLife applications or the Apple Hardware Test. Replacements for the original discs can be ordered from Apple.
    The new owner will have to redownload any software that came from the App Store, including OS X upgrades, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer those either.
    Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

  • How to erase data from an unbootable MBP

    Hi,
    I have MacBook Pro with a dead logic board, and therefore computer won't starts but showing blue/gray screen.
    The problem, as usual, are data on hard drive. So I want to clear the flash memory, but it cannot be done on traditional way.
    I wonder is there any available solution to erase hd from another computer (PC) even if my mbp isn't completely in function?
    thanks

    Remove the drive and put it in an external enclosure. If the drive is functional then you can get your data.
