reset click wheel iPod A-1059
I am selling my Gen 4 iPod "Clickwheel" model A1059. I was able to Re-set the iPod from its own Settings menu. I thought this felt incomplete so I plugged it into an old MacBook Pro and launched iTunes. The iPod appears in the iTunes window showing 6GB of audio files but when I chose "Summary" it will not restore..... I get a message to the effect it can't contact the download center (wifi is working ok).
In addition to the old laptop I have a new M1 as well.
How can I reset/erase the old iPod, using either the old iTunes or the brand new laptop?
Thank you.
