Reset iPod Touch

How to soft reset and hard reset your iPod Touch if it’s frozen or not responding.

Try a soft reset first:

1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of the unit until a red slider appears

2. Drag the slider.

3. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

If a soft reset doesn’t work, try a hard reset:

Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for about ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    before, everytime i tried to start my ipod it would say ipod disabled, connect to itunes, so i went to itunes and it wold say my ipod has its passcode on, go back to ipod and type in passcode or sumthing like that, so it was just telling me to go back and forth and i was like FTW!!, so i tried everything from dowloading the newer itunes and deleted it and restarting my laptop 54692746976529 freakin’ times :@, so i finally gave up for ten minutes and was so pissy i went outside and starting chopping trees, and im all against that so you could imagine i was pretty pissed, so i finally searched google and w.e and found this and read through comments and tomtom IFLY!!

    ok well i am in progress of reformating the ipod touch and by listening to others i have acheived where am. and if others dont kno what to do..here it is. conect to itunes
    press sleep and home at the same time
    hold till it shuts off, but do not let go of the buttons.
    the ipod should turn back on while the buttons r still held
    when this happens, only let go of the sleep button on the top
    keep the home held in till the ipod shows the itunes lodo plus usb cord.
    this is as far as i have gotten right now. im downlaoding the update fior it to see if it reaaly work.
