I need to restore my iPod without an internet connection
The iPod is clicking and the apple logo flashes about evry 20-40 seconds. I was able to force it into disk mode. However, to restore the iPod the computer is asking for a connection to the internet. Is there any way to do a restore without an internet connection? I am at a university in China and there is no way to connect my Apple to the internet.
The nearest connection to the internet that the Apple can use is in Xian. This is a 24 hour train ride with a need for lodging when I arrive.
I can sneakernet files, which is how I installed the latest version of iTunes; however, there is no way to connect the Apple dirrectly to the internet.
