The 'restore' function in iTunes is used when something on your iPod goes wrong and still turns on, and every trick in the book has been used. It completely resets the iPod to the point where it has no data whatsoever. It is basically the master reset button for the iPod.
iTunes 9 requires QuickTime 7.6 or later. If you are running an earlier version of QuickTime you will need to update it. The iTunes installing process should let you know if you need an update but will not do it automatically.
iTunes updates every Sunday night or Monday morning, it varies.
Unfortunately, there is no way to do this with iTunes at this time. Only via other apps such as Audacity, which is free.
it depends, if your iPod is synced with a mac and you plug it into a PC and click restore , evrything will get deleted (EVERY THING!!)if you just restore on the computer it has already been synced to, its like a master reset but your music(pics,notes, etc.) should be fine . if your iPod freezes don't restore unless it says to on the screen ; simply turn the hold on and then off then press the select(middle) button while pressing the menu button ; do that until the apple pops up on the screen . then it should either come back on or it should tell you to restore . =]
That button is located in iTunes.
As soon as you open iTunes, if you click on your ipod, it should be on the very first tab.
There are two ways to restore your ipod touch. Hold the sleep/wake button and the home button for ten seconds until the apple symbol appears. Or you can plug your ipod into itunes and restore from there. The itunes restore is a more complete way to restore.
You might have to reinstall iTunes and update it to the newer version. That's what I did.
i have this probleme to, i have a 3G ipod and its jailbroken and i wanted to update it with itunes but he gives an error on itunes, now it is stuck on recovery mode, and he can not restore with itunes
Plug your iPod into your computer and run iTunes. Tab over to the tab with your iPod on it and press the sync button in the bottom right-hand corner. Within a few minutes, you should have a restored iPod!
Make sure your iPod is plugged in. When iTunes recognizes the iPod, go to the iPod menu. There should be a 'restore' button there.
What you do is you go and plug up ur iPhone to the iTunes and click on the update button
Plug in the iPod into your computer and open up iTunes. Then, when iTunes recognizes your iPod (assuming you have already have registered it with iTunes and such), click on your iPod tab in the navigation bar to the left of your screen in iTunes. After that, just click the restore button at the bottom, and follow what iTunes tells you to do from there to restore your iPod.
you can't restore ipods without iTunes. but if your meaning to reset the ipod try pressing the middle button and the menu button the same time.
you have to go on itunes on your computer. if you click "my ipod" (the section) there are options near the "sync" button and one of them is to restore your ipod
Restore them. Click apps on your iTunes and out the apps back on. Any if then that aren't in iTunes, just download them again.
