HT1349 Is there a way to reset an ipod touch to original settings? Hoping it will aleviate some of our issues.

My daughter's Ipod Touch has suddenly gone on the fritz. No idea what she has done to it, but it won't even let me reset the date and time. And now there is some ladies voice talking every time we try to do anything at all. Touch screen doesn't seem to be responding correctly either. Not sure what to do. Thought that maybe I could reset it to all of the original settings and see if that would help anything. However, b/c it isn't allowing me to do much of anything, I'm not sure if there is a way to do this. If anyone has any thoughts, please let me know.

Is there a way to find my ipod touch even though I didn't register it on iclound

is there a way to locate my ipod touch even thought I didn't register it on icloud

Only the old fashioned way
lost/stolen
No app on the iPod is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or conbtinue to show off-line.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product

Periodically delete all apps from the recently-used bar (double clickHome button) and power off and then back on the iPod. With iOS 5, the iPod uses more memory (do not confuse with storage) and periodically you have to reclaim memory for use.

HT204387 is there a way to connect my ipod touch via bluetooth to my laptop? keeps saying bluetooth peripheral device not found

Is there any way to connect my ipod touch to my laptop that is running Windows 7? I've tried and tried and very time it will connect but then when it goes to download the drives an error pops up saying "bluetooth peripheral device not found".

The bluetooth is largely meant for speakers and keyboards, not data transfer.

Is there any way to reset my ipod, delete all content manually w/o itunes?

My ipod is just jacked. I'm thinking that I'm going to have to send it off to be repaired. I would like to delete all my photos, music, etc before I send it off.. is there any way to modify your ipod without conecting to the pc? It will not connect to itunes and it is not recognised by any pc I try it on.
THX!!

This is from a previous post I did earlier. This also cleans the iPod out without wiping the firmware. Your iPod may not be toast after all.
I was having the same problem as a lot of you where iTunes did not recognize my iPod. Now it does. Here's what I did.
Disclaimer: I am no computer expert, just read ALOT of posts and figured my problem out.
First problem I was having was that my cpu wasn't seeing the iPod as a mass storage device or iPod, just "removable disc". This was due to having my usb printer on. It was hogging resources I guess.
Still didn't work in iTunes and locked it up. Reset using the iPod (whre the Apple logo comes up and have to select language initial screen)
My problem included the following:
When I looked at the "about" list on the iPod it said "Songs: 0, Capacity: 0, Format Unknown". Nothing there so the computer wouldn't read it I guess. When I right clicked in My computer/J:removable disk and got to the list with "properties" (took a while but it finally came up) it said the format was RAW, and there were 0 bytes on the iPod.
This is the fix. On the same menu(removable disk - right click) there is selection called "Format..". Hit that and it should bring up a window to format the drive. Make sure it's set on "default Setting - or something like that", FAT32 and that the "Quick Format" is unchecked. Hit format and wait for it to finish.
After I did this the computer shows the iPod and iTunes recognizes it and off I went on re-syncing all of the music in my playlist.
Oh, and it did NOT delete the firmware in case you were worried like I was about that.
Hope this helps!

Is there a way to sync my iPod Touch 4th Generation to a linux computer?

I just bought an iPod Touch 4th Generation, and the computer I use runs on linux Ubuntu. Is there any way to sync my iPod to my linux computer, whether it be legally jailbreaking the iPod, putting another operating system on my iPod, a program/plugin that my iPod can sync to, somehow running iTunes through Wine, etc.?

You can try Wine. You can also try running Windows in a virtual machine in Linux.

Is there any way to charge an iPod Touch while connected to another device?

I'm using an iPod Touch connected to a pico projector (which is plugged into the wall), which of course limits the time I can run a presentation to the battery life of the iPod. Is there *any way* to charge the iPod while the connection port is in use (or otherwise connect it to A/C power)? I'm looking for any and all workarounds, though connecting it to a computer as a go-between is not an option. I'm using the Microvision SHOWWX pico projector, if it makes a difference. Thanks!

Aha - this Composite video a/v cable solved my problem. Not sure why I had such difficulty finding this solution. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC748ZM/A

My iPod touch is not charging, nor is it syncing with my commputer and iTunes. It will charge on the wall charger, and in the car, but not on the computer. My wife's iPod Nano syncs on the computer. I went in and reset my iPod Touch back to factory settings and now it will not let me get in unless I sync to iTunes on my computer. Well, it still will not connect thru the USB cord. Does anyone know what I should do to get this corrected? I want my iPod back.

Have you seen and worked through the suggestions in this Apple support document?
