Hello everyone,


If you are planning to sell or replace your ipod/itouch/ipad, all you need to do is the following:


The following works for iTunes 10.5 and later versions.....


1. First synce your ipod/itouch/ipad in iTunes.


2. Disconnect the ipod/itouch/ipad from iTunes. and then on the ipod/itouch/ipad select "settings", "General", "Reset", "Erase all Content and Settings".


3. DO NOT CONNECT the ipod/itouch/ipad to iTunes again. Now launch iTunes and from the menu bar go to "edit", "preferences", and select the "devices" tab. Highlight/select the device that you are no longer going to use/sell etc. Then after it is highlighted, select "delete backup".


Thats it... you can now sell it or give it to a friend 🙂
