I need to delete everything off my ipod and make it like new again..

because i used to update it on my old computer but we got rid of it and all my songs weren't from the itunes store and now when i try to plug it into my new laptop it won't do anything.. i just want to like delete everything off of it and reset the whole thing without needing to connect the ipod to a computer.

You can't restore and erase everything without connecting to your computer. Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting documents? They may be of some help:

  • Do i need to delete everything off my ipod before i send it in to apple????

    i am sending it intoday

    I don't think that you need to do it but it would be better to protect your data.
    I've sent my iPod Touch to Apple today too and I've deleted everything after I have made a backup.

  • Is there a way to delete everything off the Ipod but not off itunes?

    I have a 4g Ipod nano, and it is full so it wont let me add any new songs. I have gone into itunes and deleted songs from my playlist and tried to update my ipod but even when i delete playlists and songs it still says that i dont have enough room to add any more. Is there any way i can delete everything off my ipod and but still have all my music in itunes so i can basically start over?

    Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. it won't remove anything from your iTunes library. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

  • I have bought music directly on my ipod,i have also bought films and music on itunes on my computer, how do i get them all onto my computer without accidentally deleting everything off my ipod? I did this a while a go and had to spend 100's re-buying

    Help! I have bought music directly onto my ipod, i have also bought films and music directly onto my computer from itunes, how can i put them all onto the computer? My ipod is acting a little odd and i think its going to break at some point, so i really want to save everything i've bought. Last year i tried to sync them thinking that my music would go onto the computer, but it actually just deleted everything off my ipod, i haven't been game to try anything again.

  • I deleted everything off my Ipod touch and now I can't get my music back on.

    A few days ago I deleted everything off my Ipod as there was stuff on there that I didn't want and that was taking up room. I seleted the 'erase all contents and settings' option as I thought that it would simply be a case of reconnecting it  to my computer in order to restore my music. But now when I connect it to the computer it doesn't pick it up in iTunes at all, its not under devices or anything. Also, when i turn it on now all that comes up is the apple logo, nothing else. I've tried everything from uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling the latest version to trying to restore my Ipod to its factory settings through iTunes but nothing works. I don't know if this makes any difference but i think it may have been jailbroken a couple of years ago (this was done by someone else not me) and that was what I was trying to delete, all the music and apps that they put on. Please help.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I recently downloaded Ios 7 and all the songs that i have purchased before but deleted off my itunes because i didn't want them showed up. I don't know how to delete them off my ipod and i really don't want them there

    I recently downloaded Ios 7 and all the songs that i have purchased before, but deleted off my itunes because i didn't want them, showed up. I don't know how to delete them off my ipod and i really don't want them there. Is there a way to get them off? The songs dont show up in my itunes on my computer, just on my ipod with a download button next to them. I don't want them there anymore because i don't like that kind of music anymore and i don't know how to get them to go away.

    There is a similar setting for Videos on that Settings screen, so if you leave that 'on' you may have similar happening in the Videos app

  • How can I delete EVERY THING off my Mac and have it like new?

    There are sites that I've viewed and programs I have downloaded that I NEED to delete completely from my computer!! Ie: Friends telling me that a program is free and has no viruses, but it does! Sites forwarded that are supposed sfw, but are not!!
    I would like to DELETE EVERY THING off the computer and have it be like new.
    I remember on my Dell PC if I hit f8 or f11 (can't remember which one) a screen would appear and if I chose option "Dell Factory Image Restore" it would DELETE EVERY THING off of the computer and have it like new - as if you just got it from Dell.
    Is there anything like that for Macs?
    Whether it be some where on the computer already?
    Or if it's with the CDs that came with the Mac?

    I had to delete everything on my computer and install the operating system again , but I had to install Snow Leopard because it was the cd that came with the computer when I bought it. The problem is that I had already paid for the OS Lion and even had upgraded to the Mavericks . I do not think it's fair to have to pay again and I would like to upgrade my operating system without having to pay again for the same system.

    Hi anatuta, 
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like you are trying to upgrade your Mac to a newer version of OS X, after completing a fresh install of Snow Leopard. 
    If you have already purchased and downloaded OS X Lion and Mavericks, you should be able to find these items in the Purchased section of the Mac App Store. 
    You may find the steps in this article helpful with finding the items:

    If you do not see the items in the Purchased section, they may be hidden:

  • I accidently deleted everything off my ipod, how do I get it back?

    I accidently erased everything off my ipod. Now its stuck on the screen connect to itunes. How would I go about getting everything or most of everything back?

    If you have a backup of the iPod then your can restore the iPod from that backup.  Otherwise you will have to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.  See the restore topic of:

  • Can't copy any more songs to my ipod from itunes - says its full but i have deleted heaps off my ipod to make room!

    I can not seem to add any more songs to my ipod. Normally i just click and drag songs i have highlighted in my itunes folders up to the Administrators' ipod and it puts a copy there in my ipod. however i keep getting a message saying there is not enough room  . . . and so can't add another song. I have deleted heaps of songs off my ipod to ensure sufficient room for these new songs i want to load but i keep failing - why would that be? Is the space not freeing up when i delete exiting music off my ipod for some reason - or any other reason?

    Try rebooting your iPod with it still connected to iTunes.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • How to get everything off the iPod and onto a New Drive "C"

    Yeah, I lost my "C" Drive, My Documents, My Music, iTunes Music Library, everything.
    I have a HUGE Library of Audio Bibles, Audio Books, Lectures and other Spoken Word material currently residing on my iPod. I had to build most of the tagging and artwork for it myself as much of it pre-dates Gracenote.
    Is there a procedure I can utilize to copy the material from my iPod onto a New "C" Drive?
    Or should I start digging out my back-up disc's and get ready for a long weekend of re-construction?
