Hi, smore658.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I see you wish to reset your iPod touch to factory settings. Here are a couple articles that walk you through this process.

No "set up apple pay" under settings. how do i get this?

I am trying to set up apple pay on my new iPhone 6. Under settings, I have no bar that states "passbook and set up apple pay". How do I set this up??

Which country are you in? I believe Apple Pay is only available in USA at the moment.

My Android Galaxy S5 has locked up and gone into endless loading while trying to update to the Kitkat update. I have set it back to factory settings and tried again and it has locked up again. My phone no longer works. What else can I do?

Oh goodness,SLEEPER888. We wish you didn't have this problem while trying to complete this update.You have done quite a bit of troubleshooting on your own. If the phone update does not take, we would need to replace it with the warranty. Is it still locked up?

my ipod was stolen. I do not have the serial code, and I want to set it back to factory settings so that no one takes my information, Help!!!

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
iCloud: Find My iPhone
- 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.

If you do happen to run into a bad file, try converting it to a different format and resyncing the new version over to your iPod.

For the iPod Classic, in settings, how does the volume limit work? After setting a limit, how to re-set to a new volume limit?

This thread - with a quote from an LR4 Beta thread - says that all 6 central Basic controls in PV2012 (Exposure thru Blacks) are now image-adaptive, as were Recovery, Fill Light, and Clarity in previous versions:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4253485
Whether they are suitable for creating a Timelapse sequence without significant flicker is entirely subjective and up to you - and of course, dependant on your specific images & how they change over time. Sorry, not much advice beyond try PV2012, and revert back to PV2010 if you get too much flicker.

If I restore my iPod to factory settings, will I lose my music that has been added from other computers, even if I've backed up my iPod?

I'm trying to clean out my iTunes and iPod, and in doing so I've realized that I have over a gig of "other" material taking up space on my iPod. One solution I was told about was to restore my iPod back to it's facotry settings (after you've backed it up) in order to help eliminate or help make the "other" section take up less space. I'm worried about doing this however seeing as my iPod has music from three or four other computers on it seeing as I manually sync music to my ipod rather than have it sync on it's own. I'm worried that even if I back the iPod Touch on my computer, that all the other music from the three or four other computers and iTunes' will be erased and only music left on my iTunes, on my laptop will be left over after words. This wouldn't be such an issue if I didn't have litterally THOUSANDS of music to sort through between these four computers.
Also, does anyone have any other solutions on how to reduce the amount that "other" takes up on your iPod? Thanks in advance! Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure if you will loose your music or not, but I have a suggestion. If you sinc your ipod to your itunes, all the music from it should transfer to your itunes, it shouldn't matter whether it was downloaded on that computer or not. If you do this and then restore your ipod to factory settings and you do loose your music, then you can just sinc your ipod to your computer, or itunes account and then you will get your music back. I hope this helps. :)

"Itunes cannot read the contents of ipod. Go to the summary tab in Ipod preferences and click Restore to restore this ipod to factory settings." What is this?

I have been getting this error message since about the end of June when I updated to the latest version of iTunes. It's pretty annoying. Let me lay out how this has been happening for the past month, the best I can. I have a 32GB 4th gen iPod Touch
I load content up to my iPod. Music, Apps, Videos, pictures, etc.
My iPod works well for a little while, days sometimes a week is the longest I went without seeing this message.
I connect iPod back to my laptop through the standard pack in Apple USB connector.
I get the "Itunes cannot read the contents of ipod. Go to the summary tab in Ipod preferences and click Restore to restore this ipod to factory settings." message. When I go to the preferences tab, I click restore and iTunes gets stuck trying to restore my iPod. Then I have to uplug my iPod. And Shutdown/Restart my PC reconnect my iPod, and go through the restore process again.
I have been doing this for as I said, a month. It's getting pretty grueling to keep havomh putting cotent on my iPod after these restores.
I've tried everything.
I've stopped autosync, it still happens.
I tried to reinstall iTunes(be it I didn't full uninstall before trying to install again and got the option to fix corrupted files and such
I've deleted all old back up, and it still happens
Today is the fist time I'm fully uninstalling iTunes, and then reinstalling to see if this works.
But do you guys have any otehr solutions for this? As I said, this didn't start happening until I installed the lastest version of iTunes 10.6.3

- Have you tried another cable?
- Another USB port?
- When you have the problem, connect it to another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.
- Try just restoring the iPod to factory settings/new iPod. Do not restore from backup. If you still have the problem with this and all computer that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My itunes cannot detect my ipod touch 5g. How do I fix this?

My itunes cannot detect my ipod touch 5g. How do I fix this?
All I know is that my itunes has not been updated. If this is the problem, I tried to close and reopen the program but the "update" popup isn't popping up anymore and I'm not sure where I can manually update it myself.
Please help!
Thanks

The 5G (iOS 6) require 10.5 or higher
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later7 (free download from www.apple.com/itunes/download)

Need help Restoring iPod to factory settings

I have a new iPod 30G and somehow screwed things up trying to use Winamp to transfer files. I upgraded iTunes to 7 and when I start it up, it polls my iPod and I get this message:
iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "IPOD". Go to the Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings.
The only problem is that my iPod doesn't show up on the left so I can't get to the preferences. I downloaded the iPod updater 6.28.06 but it won't work with iTunes 7, it says that iTunes 7 will do the updating. Uninstalled 7, went back to 6 and now the updater says it has an iPod service error. Have rebooted my PC. Have reset my iPod, have slept very little
Any help getting my iPod back to factory settings would be appreciated. BTW, my PC does recognize the iPod and I can browse the I: drive so I know it "should" work.
Thanks in advance.

"The vendor account you entered is not associated with the item you are trying to open. Please try again". How do I fix this?

Digital editions is set-up and accepting books. Everything seems fine except when I try to open the books, it asks for authorisation. I enter the Adobe ID which works when I go into the Adobe site, but gives me the error "The vendor account you entered is not associated with the item you are trying to open. Please try again". How do I fix this?

This is the Adobe Reader forum; please ask in the Digital Editions forum.

Problems with synching iTouch to iTunes windows. "Please restore ipod to factory settings" error message.

ITunes says "iTunes could not read the information on this ipod, please click restore to restore it to it's factory settings" every time that I connect my brand-new iTouch to the computer.
The iTunes is for Windows, and is up-to date (version 10.7), and the iTouch is 4th generation.
Clicking "restore iTouch" does not help.
ITunes does not identify any available updates.
This same problem has occurred with different ipods synching to this same computer.
What should I do?
Thank you very much.

I was listening to my ipod through my friends
computer with itunes and then i got an error and all
the songs were taken off my ipod. when i got home i
tried to put them back but it said that i have to
restore my ipod to factory settings. So i downloaded
the ipod updater thing but when i run it i get an
error ( error number: 0x80040707 ) and then it says
access is denied and closes. Anyone know what to do
now? Ive reinstalled everything and tried anything
else i can think of. Anyone know how to fix this?
i also lost all of my songs and i am wondering if there is anything i can do? have you had any luck since you restored it to the factory settings? if you have heard anything or if anyone else knows how to get my songs back...i havent messed with or shutdown the computer since it happened, so i was wondering if my music could be in some remote file somewhere? thanks.
