How do I put an iPod Touch in DFU mode for restoration?

Hello,

Follow these steps to put your iPod in DFU mode.

DFU stands for Device Firmware Update.

How to put your device in recovery mode (DFU)

Put your device in recovery mode and set it up again

1. Make sure that your Mac is up to date. If you're using iTunes, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. 
2. On a Mac with macOS Catalina or later, open Finder. On a Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier, or on a PC, open iTunes. If iTunes is already open, close it, then open it again. Find out which macOS your Mac is using.
3. Keep your device connected and wait until the recovery mode screen appears:

• iPhone 8 or later, including iPhone SE (2nd generation): Press and quickly release the volume up button. Press and quickly release the volume down button. Then, press and hold the side button until you see the recovery mode screen.
  • 
• iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and iPod touch (7th generation): Press and hold the top (or side) and volume down buttons at the same time. Keep holding them until you see the recovery mode screen.
  • 
• iPhone 6s or earlier, including iPhone SE (1st generation), and iPod touch (6th generation) or earlier: Press and hold both the Home and the top (or side) buttons at the same time. Keep holding them until you see the recovery mode screen.
  • 

1. Locate your device on your computer. When you see the option to Restore or Update, choose Update. Your computer will try to reinstall the software without erasing your data. Wait while your computer downloads the software for your device. If the download takes more than 15 minutes and your device exits the recovery mode screen, let the download finish, then repeat step 3.
2. 
3. After the Update or Restore completes, set up your device.

Das gleiche Proglem habe ich auch es kommt immer wieder die Aufforderung den IPod in den DFU Modus zu versetzen.

Da ich dieses Problem bei meinem letzten IPod habe glaube ich schon bald an Software steuerrung von Apple.

Mit dem vorigen Gerät bin ich in den Apple Store, nach 5 Minuten wurde mir mitgeteilt der IPod kann nicht mehr genutzt werden da die Software nicht upgdatet wird (war vor einem halben Jahr). Nun habe ich das geliche wie eben beschrieben mit meinem 2 Ipod. Sehr ärgerlich da mein Gerät das ich mit dem Pod nutze nur einen breiten Anschluss hat müste ich auch dieses entsorgen. Das kann nicht die Lösung sein aber Apple will verkaufen. Gruß Peter
