Restore ipod without a computer?

i wont bore you but my 160gb 6g ipod needs restoring. I have tried putting it into disk mode, but my computer does not notice it is plugged in. Ive tried many cables, and discharging + fullly charging the battery. Interestingly enough, when i run HDSMARTDATA in the diagnostics menu, it says temp:min is 51C , which is surely wrong. There must be a way of restoring it to factory settings without a computer, since there must be a lot of problems that can only be solved by this.
Thanks to anyone who tries to help

try using another computer to restore it then use your own computer to sync your ipod

  • How do I transfer music from my iPhone to my iPod without a computer ?

    Is it possible to transfer the music from my iTunes on my iPhone to my iPod without a computer?

    No.  The music must stored in an iTunes library on a PC or Mac first. From there you can sync it over to the iPod.

  • Restore Ipod without connecting to windows?

    Is there anyway to restore (ie. wipe the hard drive) without connecting the ipod to windows? My computer won't see the ipod and all the links/assistance I have followed results in "connect your ipod to your computer and restore with the ipod restore software" which I can't because my computer won't see the ipod.
    HELP - I'm going round in circles!

    There really is no way of erasing your iPod's hard drive without connecting it your computer. However, I want to clarify one thing - if you connect your iPod to your computer, and reset it while it is connected, it should go to the Do Not Disconnect screen. If it does, open My Computer and see if there is an Apple iPod or a Removable Disk listed under "Devices with Removable Storage." If it does not go to the Do Not Disconnect screen, you may want to try playing around with different USB ports and different USB cables (there's always the chance one of those two have gone bad).
    Try this, let me know what happens.
    Good luck!

  • Restoring ipod library to computer

    Hello, I really hope someone out there can help me.
    I used to store all my music and other files on an external hard drive but in the last month it decided to reformat itself or just delete everything for no reason whatsoever. I still have all my music on my ipod but obviously all the original files have been lost. I was just wondering if there was any way that I could copy all the music from my ipod back onto my computer without losing anything or messing my computer/ipod up?
    Thanks.

    1). If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.

  • Is it possible to restore iPod without plugging into iTunes?

    Hello - having great difficulty doing anything to my iPod through iTunes. Is there anyway in which I can restore my iPod without going through iTunes?
    (iTunes already re-installed)

    I can't imagine there being any way, unless you use some 3rd party software (which I don't recommend)

    Try:

  • Restore iPod without losing everything?

    "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes".
    iPod: 2GB Nano 1st generation.
    I would like to be able to back up everything that's on this iPod before restoring it. So far, I have found no answer to this. It seems impossible to get into the actual iPod files (either on a mac or a windows PC).
    If anybody has a suggestion or could let me know whether this is actually possible, then that would be very helpful!
    Cheers.

    Use a program like Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    Once you've done that, restore the iPod. Now you see why it's such a bad idea to store the only copy of music/videos/games etc on the iPod only.

  • Can't restore ipod on new computer`

    I just got a new Imac. After I charged my Ipod for the first time on the new computer, It was full of gibberish when I turned it on. I tried to restore it, but I got an error message and it wouldn't continue. Tried that twice and came up with the same message. I took it into my local Apple store, and they restored it no problem. Then I plugged into my computer to sync and put the music back on, and it froze as it was loading music. Then it wouldn't recognize the Ipod, and again I couldn't restore. Plugged the ipod into my old mac, and it restored just fine. Then again plugged into my new mac and tried to put the music on, and same old story. Plugged it into my old mac and it is loading the music just fine. The problem has to be the new computer and/or itunes installed on it. What am I needing to do here??

  • Restore Ipod on another computer

    I was at work today, when my iPod froze up on me. I tried the 5 R's and the first four didn't work, so I had to Restore. I downloaded iTunes on my work computer and restored it. I have all my songs saved on my computer at home, which is the computer I use to sync my iPod with. By me restoring my iPod on my work computer, am I only able to sync to my work computer. If so, will I need to go home and restore my iPod on my home computer so I can re-load all my songs?

    You won't need to Restore.
    Plug it in and it will ask if you want to sync to this library. Just click yes and it will load your songs from your home computer.
    Note that this will remove the music you loaded from your work computer.

  • Is there any way to get itunes music from my ipad to my ipod without a computer and only 4g?

    Lets say you have an ipad (a new one) and an ipod.  Thats all you have.  The ipad has 4g.  You can have access to other small hardware devices like cables and stuff but no other computer like device and no wifi internet.
    Is it possible to get itunes music from the ipad and onto the ipod with just this?

    Would those work if I am using the 4g wifi hotspot on the ipad to get the music onto an ipod touch?  I am willing to give up third party music if this would work. Just not sure if it would work since the 4g wifi has that 50mb restriction

  • Can I unsync ipod without host computer?

    Well can I? Also how do I set up my mutiple ipods to work with my multiple computers?
    Thanks

    You can only sync an iPod shuffle with a single iTunes library/computer, they are not designed for use with multiple libraries or computers. If you have other models of iPod that you want to use on more than one computer or with more than one library you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos":
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    Syncing Music to iPod
