Then select the iPod, right click over it and choose ‘Format’. Once the formatting process is complete, disintegrate the iPod by stopping the device from the system tray ‘USB Mass storage device’ icon. Then start ‘iPod Updater’ from the ‘All Programs’ menu. Reconnect the iPod with the USB cable. Click on the restore button to make the formatting process completed. Now you can use your iPod just like you have purchased from the store.

If you want to format your itouch//phone delete everything from it?
1.Connect your iPod to computer, doesn’t matter if iTunes recognise it.
2.Make sure your iPod is at home screen.
3.Hold down both the home button and power button at once and ignore all things that happens like that “Slide to Power Off” thing.
4.Even when the iTouch switches off, continue holding those two buttons.
5.When the Apple Logo appears, release the power button but keep on holding the home button.
6.After a while, the iTunes and USB thing should appear and iTunes should pop up and tell you to restore.
