This step removes all the music and data on the iPod and restores it to the manufacturing
configuration.

message “Plug in an iPod to update it.” Note: You do not need to Reset or put the iPod
into Disk Mode.
2. Quit iTunes if it is open.
3. Connect the iPod to the computer with the FireWire cable. The iPod screen changes to
a “Do not disconnect” screen,” and the iPod Updater window displays the iPod name,
serial number, software version, capacity, and the Restore button is available.
4. Click Restore. Click Restore again, when it asks you if you are sure.
5. Enter your name and password in the Authenticate screen. A progress bar appears.
6. When the progress bar completes, the message “Your iPod has been restored..., and
is restarting.” appears.
