Ipod Nano 6th Gen - How to factory reset?

Hello Folks, I pulled out my old favorite music player after many years. Connected to itunes on Windows (version Version 12.11.0.26). It recognized the ipod and showed me songs but there was no option to factory reset the ipod. I don't see anything under devices (under file menu?)


Please help. Would like to reset and gift it to someone who loves to collect such things.


Thank you!

Hi mukesh7547,


Thanks for reaching out here in the Apple Support Communities. We see that you'd like to restore your iPod nano 6th generation back to factory settings, but can't find how to do that.


We're glad to help.


This User Guide has information about how to restore to factory setting (on page 56), as well as other information about how to connect to iTunes:
