Is erasing/resetting your iPod good or bad..

Ok so I have 2 iPod touches (4's) and my black one I reset/erase every now and again and foursome reason it makes it faster. My white one is the one I use every day so I'm just wondering if its good for the iPod of not becouse my white iPod is REALLY slow compared to the black one. And both iPod are on IOS 6.0.1

I don't think it damages your device, but you have to restore all your data and reinstall your apps every time you reset your device

    So I want to reset my ipod touch so it can be exactly like i bought it.  But can you do that by reseting your ipod or do you have to restore it? Please help.!!

    Since you have iOS 5 or later, go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings.

  • HT1430 resetting your iPod touch

    will all your music,pictures,etc. be deleted if you reset your ipod touch? thanks!

    A reset, as described in the basics section of the manual erases nothing at all.
    A restore erases everything.
    Everything that is on your ipod should always be on your computer, so you can put it back.

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

  • Is resetting your iPod touch 5g through settings - general - erase all content the same thing as restoring your iPod when it's plugged in?

    My iPod was randomly restarting itself but I think I fixed it by completely resetting the iPod through the settings

    No. Restoring via iTunes reinstalls the entire iOS while Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content only deletes all user information.

  • If you reset your ipod on the settings do you lose evertything?

    If you cant get on Wifi and you reset everything on your ipod do you lose everything on there?

    It dpends upon which reset you do. From the manual.
    Reset
    You can reset the word dictionary, network settings, home screen layout, and location warnings.
    You can also erase all of your content and settings.
    Erase all content and settings:  Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Erase All Content and
    Settings.
    After confirming that you want to reset iPod touch, all content, personal information, and settings
    are removed. It cannot be used until it’s set up again.
    Reset all settings Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts
    and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    Reset network settings Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset Network Settings.
    When you reset network settings, your list of previously used networks and
    VPN settings not installed by a configuration profile are removed. Wi-Fi is
    turned off and then back on, disconnecting you from any network you’re
    on. The Wi-Fi and “Ask to Join Networks” settings are left turned on.
    To remove VPN settings installed by a configuration profile, go to Settings >
    General > Profile, then select the profile and tap Remove. This also removes
    other settings and accounts provided by the profile.
    Reset the keyboard dictionary Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset Keyboard Dictionary.
    You add words to the keyboard dictionary by rejecting words iPod touch
    suggests as you type. Tap a word to reject the correction and add the word
    to the keyboard dictionary. Resetting the keyboard dictionary erases all
    words you’ve added.
    Reset the Home screen layout Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset Home Screen Layout.
    Reset location warnings Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset Location Warnings.
    Location warnings are requests made by apps to use Location Services.
    iPod touch presents a location warning for an app the first time the app
    makes a request to use Location Services. If you tap Cancel in response, the
    request isn’t presented again. To reset location warnings so that you get a
    request for each app, tap Reset Location Warnings.
    I recommend that your download the manual

  • Does resetting your ipod mess with your songs/videos?

    I have a movie that freezes at the same point every time i try to watch it on itune or on the ipod, and I've gotten the suggestion to reset the ipod--will this affect/delete my songs and videos?
    Is resetting the ipod even a good idea?
    Thanks,
    Abby.

    Yes, this is exactly the thing to do in your situation since you've got an iPod that's video freezes; reset the iPod.
    Resetting the iPod is simply like restarting a computer, which does not loose it's data if everything goes normal (which it does, unless a really weird error happens).
    So is the iPod. Resetting is probably the first troubleshooting step that Apple recommends with any iPod issues, and is simply is used to restart and refresh the iPod. It often cures minor little freeze ups or little glitches in the iPod's behavior.
    By the way, the data on your iPod will be safe and unafffected by resetting it.
