Is the iPod in recovery mode and say plug into itunes

My son just found his iPod yesterday having misplaced it for a long time, and he has exactly the same problem, so I am really interested in the solution.

First try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then connecting to a computer and restoring via iTunes.

Next try placing the iPod in DFU mod and then restore.

You can restore the iPod by going into recovery mode)!

To get into recovery mode, follow my instructions below:

1.Press and hold the power button then slide to power off

2.Plug the usb end of the connecting plug into the computer but unplug the connector from the iPod

and launch itunes

3.Now press and hold the home button while plugging the connector to the iPod. This should cause it to turn on.

4. Keep on holding the home button until this image shows up on the iPod =>

5. Once the image shows up, you can let go and wait for this notice to pop up in itunes.=>

6.Click ok then on the summary tab of the iPod in itunes, click restore.

7.Now just follow the process of restoring the iPod and you should be able to use it afterwards.

After syncing all your files back, it should be just like before 🙂

I hope it helps becaus I am new 😀
