Selling iPod Touch

I am selling my iPod, so when it sells, what will I need to do to 'unregister' it from my apple account, and allow someone else to use it? Would they get 2.0? Or by them syncing it to their account, would it restore to factory making them have to purchase 2.0 again?
Thanks!

LOl the moderators here are stingy! haha
One comment about for sale, and pmmmf, its gone!
Anyway, that comment will no doubt go soon too.
So is anything else required? The iPod has now sold on ebay, and I removed all media and reset everything, and manually deleted all apps. Anything else?

  • What to do before selling ipod touch

    I'm selling my ipod touch for an iphone and need to make sure I don't send it with anything to do with me on there. Whats the best order for erasing all content? Also, will the amount of computers is authorised with go back to 5? I dont really want to leave the buyer with only 3 chances. Basically anything else I need to know before selling it. I'd really really appreciate it. thanks!

    What you need to do is a clean restore, and make sure you don't restore to backup, restore it as new and then DON'T SYNC! Leave it, the new person who gets the iPod can authorise the iPod to his iTunes account.

  • Selling iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB

    Hi i was wondering if apple will buy an old ipod touch that i have 2nd gen 8GB and does anyone know about how much apple would offer

    No.
    Apple sells ipods, they do not buy them.
    They have a recycle program. They will give a 10% discount on a new ipod if you bring in an old one for recycling.

    Hello Tugmaster,
    First you should restore the iPod via iTunes. This will erase all data from the iPod and set it back to its original default settings. For instructions on how to do this, see this Apple support document.

    As for the warranty, see this article for more.

  • I am selling my ipod touch 3g

    I am selling my ipod touch 3g, i have already reset everything to the original defaults which removed all my music etc, do i need to delete the serial/registration # from this ipod in my itunes account-if so how do i do this?  the new owner is saying that the ipod is locked and that i have to restore it from my computer to unlock it..

    they are saying it says connect to itunes and is locked when they try to do that
    Even if you had a passcode on the device, it would be removed along with everything else when you wiped the iPod.
    One thing you can suggest to them is to place the device in Recovery Mode while connected to iTunes, and see if it will restore. Refer them to this support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • Selling my Ipod touch to new user-can apps be left on without my apple id

    I am selling my Ipod touch since I recently got an iphone. Can my apps and music be left on it? I am not going to give them my apple id (obviously) but was wondering if they could still access my apps and music?? Or would the best thing to do is restore it back to factory settings?

    Hello tec367,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Or would the best thing to do is restore it back to factory settings?
    Yes. They wouldn't be able to listen to any purchased music you had on there unless you authorized your account on their iTunes library and that's just unnecessary. Restoring your iPod is just the right thing to do.

  • Selling an ipod touch

    I just bought an iphone 4. How do I ensure my ipod touch 3g will be usable when I sell it? Do I need to un-authorize it? Is there a way to un-register it from my name/computer? I have already removed all apps, wi-fi info, email accounts, and cleaned all internet history.

  • IPod Touch Clearing before selling ???

    Hello,
    I want to sell my iPod Touch (old revision) to my uncle (he really wants a Touch !) and I was wondering how to clear everything on the iPod (Songs, Videos, Podcasts and Address Book).
    I guess it is possible through "Settings" and then "Clear Settings and Content", but I wonder if it also clears the address book and the Apps...
    I want to give my uncle an iPod Touch looking like a "brand new one", without any "name" (my iPod is called "Fabrice's iPod" in iTunes).
    The firmware has been upgraded to rev 2.1 (I bought the upgrade on iTunes Store); I hope it will stay with this revision.
    Any help welcome !
    Fabrice.

    Restore it through iTunes. After it puts everything back to factory settings and it states it is going to put all the backup info back onto the iPod and it will state that the iPod icon will be in the menu again when it is completed, disconnect it. When you turn it on, it will have the "connect to iTunes" icon that it comes with when brand new out of the box. Make sure you don't disconnect it too early before it puts the software and firmware back onto the iPod. Even if you do make that mistake, it's fool proof. When you try to connect it to iTunes again, it will tell you that it detects an iPod in recovery mode and that you will have to continue the process before it works. It should retain the most recent version because it will detect by the serial number that the iPod has had the latest version purchased.

  • Selling my iPod Touch

    I have just acquired my brand-new iPhone and as a result, my iPod Touch is somewhat redundant. I have found a buyer which will help pay for the iPhone. I want to reset it to get rid of all my mail settings, bookmarks, etc but if I do so will this a) wipe out the paid updates and b) all installed apps, free and otherwise? I want to give it to her with the updates at least intact.

    Hi,
    There is no easy way around this, the updates and apps are tied to your iTunes account not the device. The Apps you will of course be able to reuse on your new iPhone and quite rightly you cannot give (or sell) copies of "purchased" apps to anyone else. The update is I've heard theoretically possible to pass on but frankly more bother to do so than it's worth.
    Be nice and knock six quid off the price .

  • IPod Touch (2nd Generation): Erase and Reset all contents before selling

    Dear all,
    I have an iPod Touch sencnd generation and I am about to ship it out to someone who has bought it online. I want to delete *all* the important info I have on this piece of hardware and reset it to the default settings. I have gone through the following steps so far: settings > general > reset > "erase all settings and contents."
    But I wonder if with a sophisticated software someone can still recover my previously stored passwords and private materials on this iPod Touch. How is it possible to completely zero out the hard drive just like you'd do on a computer? How reliable is "erase all settings and contents" by the way?
    Many thanks,
    Ron

    I would be satisfied with what you did.  The iPod touches use Flash storage so there is no hard drive.  You can tr erasing all contents amd setting a few times since that overwrites existing data.  From the Users Guide:
    Erase all content and settings:  Connect iPod touch to your computer or a power
    adapter. Choose General > Reset and tap “Erase All Content and Settings.”
    This resets all settings to their defaults and erases all your information and media:
    Â On iPod touch 3rd generation or later:  by removing the encryption key to the data
    (which is encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption)
    Â On iPod touch 2nd generation:  by overwriting the data
    Important:  You can’t use iPod touch while data is being overwritten. This can take
    up to four hours or more, depending on the model and storage capacity of your
    iPod touch. (On iPod touch 3rd generation or later, the encryption key is removed
    immediately.)
