Sometimes you need to reset an ipod, maybe you bought it from a friend and don’t have the same taste in music. You can also restore the ipod if it is not acting right. You can reset the iPod if you are having a minor issue but this is a more drastic option. 

Before you preform a restore ensure you will not lose any data that is important to you and isn’t saved anywhere. The first step is to plug the ipod into the ‘primary computer’, the best choice is the computer with the music you want to use. Then open iTunes and click the “Restore” button and iTunes will be the rest. Your iPod will now be back to its original state.
