Before starting, it is crucial to ensure that your iPod is backed up, especially if you have music that you’ve purchased through iTunes. You can do this by syncing your iPod with your computer, this way you’ll have a copy of all your music and other data.
But, what if you just want to reset your iPod without syncing? Follow the steps in the next few paragraphs.
First, connect your iPod Touch to a power source or make sure it has enough battery life. Then, go to the “Settings” app from the home screen. Next, find and click on “General.” After this, scroll all the way down and tap on “Reset.”
You will then be presented with several different reset types, including “Erase All Content and Settings” and “Reset Network Settings.” It is this last option, “Reset Network Settings,” that we need. Tapping on this will not delete any of your content, but it will reset your Wi-Fi settings and other network settings to their default values.
After you’ve tapped on “Reset Network Settings,” you’ll be prompted to enter your passcode (or to authenticate with Touch ID or Face ID), just to make sure you are serious in resetting and know what you are doing. Finally, confirm your decision to reset your network settings by clicking on “Reset Network Settings” again.
Your iPod Touch will then restart and you’ll be able to reconfigure your Wi-Fi and other network settings as necessary. All of your music, apps, contacts, and other data won’t be deleted.
In conclusion, resetting your iPod Touch doesn’t have to be a scary proposition, and there are ways to do it without losing your music.
