how to put ipod touch in dfu mode

Thanks for reaching out therushison,

It sounds like you might be having an issue with your iPod touch and you need to restore the iOS software. We can help.

To reinstall the software on your iPod touch, check out these steps from the article "If you can't update or restore your iPhone or iPod touch":

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. Connect your device to your computer with a USB cable.

3. On a Mac with macOS Catalina or later, open the 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.

4. Keep your device connected and wait until the recovery mode screen appears:

* 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.

5. Locate your device on your computer. When you see the option to Update or Restore, choose Update. 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.

6. After the Update or Restore completes, set up your device.

Hope that helps.

Take care.
