If I restore my iPod 4th generation to its factory settings, will iOS 6 still be installed?

I mistakenly updated my iPod to iOS 6 and I wanted to restore it hoping it would downgrade back to iOS 5. Soo if I restore my iPod 4th genartion, will iOS 6 still be installed?

No, it would not revert to iOS 5. Restoring only means removing your personal settings, apps and other things. it would not downgrade the iOS version.

    Okay, so somebody stole my Ipod, 4th generation, and it don't have IOS 7, it has IOS 6.1.4, and apparently I was tracking it  with police officers this morning and when I get home from school (now, 4:26) it appears that it's offline and I can't see the location no more, so my question is... Can they still find out where is it located?

    Your carrier might be able to locate it if it's on their network and they are ordered to do so by the police or the courts.  It can't be tracked with Find My iPhone if it's offline.

    You may be in possession of stolen property.
    Take the phone to an AT&T store and report that you found it.
    If anyone tries to register it, even with a current AT&T account, that they will not be able to since the account info is basically tied with the iphone Serial #, and IMEI #s.

  • Trying to restore 80GB iPod Classic back to the factory settings.

    I am using Windows Vista Home Premium, and need to restore 80GB iPod Classic back to the factory settings, due to it being corrupt and the device doesn’t show up in iTunes 10 or on my computer. I've done the 5 R's twice and I am still seeing a box pop up on my computer when I connect the device that says:
    “Do you want to scan and fix (F)?”
    It gives me the following two options:
    1.  Scan and Fix (recommended)
    2. Continue without Scanning,
    Option #1 says, “Unable to perform the scan because Windows cannot access the disk.
    Option #2 does nothing.
    When starting my computer with the device connected a black screen says:
    Checking File System on F:
    The type of file system is FAT32.
    One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue.
              Windows will now check the disk.
                             Volume serial number is 3141-****
              Windows is verifying files and folders . . .
                             Folder  \iPod_controls is entirely unreadable.

                             Folder  \notes is entirely unreadable.
                                            Folder entry removed.
    File and folder verification is complete.
    Convert lost chains to files (Y/N)? Yes
    I’ve tried both options numerous times and nothing works. This is about to drive me to either drinking or wearing one of those stylish white I Love Me Jackets.
    HELP ME . . . PLEASE

    I've used option #1 & #2. I've tried the press & hold menu & center buttons numerous times. The device does not show up in iTunes, It does show up in Windows Explorer as "Removable Disk (F), but when I try to open it, a box pops up that says, "Please insert a disk into Removable Disk (F).
    When the device is connected to my computer via USB Port, the device screen has an Orange Circle with two rotating Arrows in the centern& says, "Connected", Eject Before Disconnecting
    I don't know anyone who has a Mac.

    Hi, Mommacat26. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    This usually means that a required component is missing.  Start with completely uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below.  Once this is done, download and install iTunes.

    how do I restore my Mac OS 9 to its factory settings?

    Insert the install disk, restart with the C key held down, select the internal drive, choose Erase Disk from the Finder's Special menu, and install an OS onto it. If you are shown an installation screen instead of the Finder straight away, erase it from Drive Setup if not given an explicit option by the installer.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Lost an ipod 4th generation but its offline

    the ipod has a passcode but has no way to connect to the interent to be found, what should we do?

    - 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.
    - 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.

  • I restored my ipod 4th generation but i lost all of my photos. I used iCloud but i have never synced with itunes. Is there any way I can get my pictures back?

    If you use the same iCloud ID and before you will get your contact, calendar and notes and other iCloud things back. If your previously has PhotoStream one you will also get back the last 30 days of photos.
    It appears you do not use the same iCloud ID.
    What do you see for Contacts, Calendar and Notes when you go to icloud.com and sing in with the same ID. You need a computer browser.
