Steps to Reformat iPod Touch
Connect the iPod with your PC with a USB cable. Then synchronize it with iTunes. Go to the desktop of your PC and right click on the ‘My Computer’ icon and select ‘Manage’. Then select ‘Disk Management’ under the heading ‘Storage’. It may take some time to show all the options under it depending upon the hardware configuration of your PC. 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.

I hacked my ipod touch to get third party apps, and when i synced it with itunes and updated to 1.1.4, everything was deleted and my ipod went on the fritz. When you hit the music, video, or itunes button, a white screen will appear for a few seconds then disappear.
When I plug the ipod into my computer now, the computer now recognizes it as a camera and opens adobe photoshop!
In the about section in settings, the ipod says there is nothing on it yet 7.3GB are used with only 2.4GB left.
I’ve tried all that I know how to do to fix it and I need help!
