I have just found my first ever ipod scroll wheel, version 1.5, 5GB. I would like to sell it but it's got my name in it and all my music, not so bothered about the music but would like to get my name off it. How can I do this? As I'm now running itunes 10 I can't sync the old ipod anymore...
Any ideas?

Hi,
I don't know how to do this. When I connect the ipod it doesn't appear anywhere or at least I can't find it. I'm running 10.8.1 now.
Hi there,
I, too, am selling my iPod classic. All you need to do is connect the iPod to your Mac, open iTunes and it should appear on the left column under Devices. Click on that and then click Restore. Make sure to check for the latest version. Once it's done, simply eject it without giving the iPod a name.
Before ejecting, note that by default, iTunes will guess a name for the iPod according to the name you have set for your Mac. As long as you don't click "Done", it won't be saved to your iPod and when you sell it, that person will then be prompted to enter a name for the iPod. So just make sure to eject the iPod without clicking Done. Also, once you eject it, don't even bother selecting a language on the iPod itself. Let the person who has bought it select it. Just power off the iPod by holding the Play/Pause button and it will be good to go.
Hi,
thanks for your help but my ipod is so old & my itunes so new it doesn't come up under devices! It just charges.
Any ideas?
I found an article that might help:

In the article, it says to try the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant first. So give that a try and if it's still not working properly after you've completed all the steps, go back to the article that I linked above and try the additional steps there.
how can I reset an ipod classic version 1.5 for resale?
